{{Real world subject}}
A '''Headmaster''' or '''Headmistress''' (or '''Highmaster''', in [[Durmstrang Institute]]) is the chief administrator of a School of [[Magic]] . They make all major decisions regarding the safety and the day-to-day functioning of the school, and have the power to override any decision made by any other authoritative facilitator at the school, with the possible exception of the [[Hogwarts Board of Governors|Board of Governors]] (and during a brief period in 1996, the "[[High Inquisitor]]"), in [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. A Headmaster also controls the protective spells surrounding the school and the ability for certain individuals to enter or exit the grounds at will. The [[Hogwarts founders|four founders of Hogwarts]] ([[Helga Hufflepuff]] , [[Godric Gryffindor]] , [[Salazar Slytherin]] , and [[Rowena Ravenclaw]] ) are not considered heads, despite leading the school during their time.

==Beauxbatons Academy of Magic==
Hogwarts also has a '''Deputy headmaster''' or '''Deputy Headmistress''' (depending on gender) that assists the headmaster in his duties. In the event of a headmaster's incapacitation, the deputy headmaster serves as temporary headmaster until the Board of Governors can elect a new, permanent one. There can also be more than one deputy headmaster, as the [[Alecto and Amycus Carrow|Carrow siblings]] served under [[Severus Snape]].

"Every headmaster and headmistress of Hogwarts has brought something new to the weighty task of governing this historic school, and that is as it should be, for without progress there will be stagnation and decay."
Dolores Umbridge regarding the legacy of headteachers at Hogwarts[src]

A Headmaster or Headmistress was an individual who headed the staff of a school, be it Muggle or magical. They had the final say on the safety and the day-to-day functioning of the school;[1] though at Hogwarts, this was with the possible exception of the Board of Governors,[2] and, during the 1995–1996 school year, the "High Inquisitor".[3]
