Fountain of Magical Brethren
From Harry Potter Wiki
The Fountain of Magical Brethren, a fountain depicting the golden figures of a wizard, witch, centaur, goblin, and a house-elf, is located in the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic. Jets of water stream from various points of the statues. The witch and wizard are the two focal points of the fountain, with the other, "lower" beings looking up in "awe and adoration." This is very unrealistic, as centaurs and goblins consider themselves more intelligent than, and superior to, wizards. House-elves, on the other hand, have no other joy in life other than to be at the beck and call of wizards. Regardless, it was a representation of harmony in the wizarding world.
During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996, the Atrium received much damage. The floor was gouged and pocketted, the security booth was burned, and most of the fountain was destroyed, although the goblin and the house-elf figures survived. After the fall of the Ministry in 1997, the fountain was temporarily replaced by the Magic is Might Monument, a dark statue of a wizard and a witch sitting atop enormous thrones made of naked Muggles. It was presumably restored to its original form after the death of Lord Voldemort in 1998.
