She established the Department of International Magical Cooperation and lobbied hard and successfully to have a Quidditch World Cup tournament held in Britain during her term.[4] It is most likely [5] that after her appointment several of the oldest Wizengamot wizards stepped out of their positions in protest.[6] She served as Minister for 13 years, being succeeded in the post by Grogan Stump in 1811.
Death and post-mortem
Ms. Lufkin passed away in 1825, aged around 71. She was featured in a Chocolate Frog Card by the 1990s.[3]
On 1 September, 1991, Prefect Gabriel Truman welcomed the Hufflepuff first years to Hufflepuff Basement with a short speech in which he mentioned former Minister Artemisia Lufkin as one of the many notable Hogwarts students who had been Sorted, like them, into Hufflepuff.[2]
