"Harry looked more closely and realized that what he had thought were decoratively carved thrones were actually mounds of carved humans: hundreds and hundreds of naked bodies, men, women, and children, all with rather stupid, ugly faces, twisted and pressed together to support the weight of the handsomely robed wizards."
— Description[src]

The Magic is Might Monument was created when the Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic on 1 August, 1997 to replace the Fountain of Magical Brethren. It is a statue of a witch and a wizard sitting on thrones made of naked Muggles. The phrase "Magic is Might" is inscribed at the bottom of the statue. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley saw the statue when they infiltrated the Ministry on 2 September, 1997, and found it horrible.[1]

It was probably replaced by another statue after Lord Voldemort's death in May 1998 and the subsequent reform of the Ministry.
