A Council of Magic was a governing body of the respective wizarding communities in some countries.[1] Headed by a President,[1] a Council of Magic was, most likely, responsible for regulating and enforcing laws for the magical community, as well as keeping said community hidden from the Muggle world, as was a Ministry of Magic.
Known countries with Councils of Magic[]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Argentinian Council of Magic is the first magical government in the series not to be referred to as a "Ministry of Magic". It is possible that, as was the case with the British Wizards' Council prior to its replacement with its subsequent governmental structure, that a Council of Magic was less complex institution than that of a Ministry. presumably made up of representatives from various magical communities throughout the country and convenes to make decisions on affairs of state.
