The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is the second largest Department in the Ministry of Magic. It is divided into three divisions named after the three categorisations of magical creatures: Being, Beast and Spirit. It also houses the liaison offices for Goblins and Centaurs.
After leaving Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione Granger briefly worked in this department before transferring to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Divisions
The department is located on the fourth level of the Ministry of Magic, and includes the following divisions:
Beast Division
Being Division
Spirit Division
Other services
The Department also maintains other services, such as the Pest Sub-Division, the Pest Advisory Board, and the Office of Misinformation.
Ministry Classification of Magical Creatures
The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures classifies magical creatures on a scale from 1 (X) to 5 (XXXXX) as follows:
- XXXXX: Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate
- XXXX: Dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may handle
- XXX: Competent wizards should cope
- XX: Harmless / may be domesticated
- X: Boring.
Behind the scenes
- On the page of the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that describes the classification system, a handwritten note by Ron Weasley indicates classification XXXXX is "anything Rubeus Hagrid likes." [1].
- In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Ron adds nine "X" to Acromantula's Classification. This is a reference to Ron's fear of spiders (and possibly also his and Harry's near-death experience with Aragog's Acromantula colony).
