The Brigade of Witch Hunters is a fictional organisation from the tale Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, written by Beedle the Bard.
History
Creation
- "...commanded the head of his army to form a Brigade of Witch Hunters, and issued them with a pack of ferocious black hounds"
- — The Brigade of Witch Hunters[src]
According to the tale, this organisation was created a long time ago by a Muggle King of a very far away land who wanted to keep all the magic in the world for himself. In order to do so, he needed to gather all the witches and wizards in the world, so he formed the Brigade and gave them packs of wild dogs.
Dissolved
The Brigade was likely dissolved when the King's washwoman, Babbitty, threatned him that he would die if another witch or wizard was harmed.
