The Ministry Detention Area was located on Level Ten of the British Ministry of Magic, beneath the Wizengamot Court Chambers. It was heavily guarded by Death Eaters and Dementors, at least during Lord Voldemort's control of the Ministry from 1997 to 1998.[1]
Description[]
It was a dark-tiled area, with circular corridors and gilded gates closing the holding cells in which suspects were confined before their trial and, if convicted, pending transportation to Azkaban.[1]
History[]
This area was used in 1997 by the Muggle-born Registration Commission to hold innocent Muggle-borns accused of "stealing" magic.[1]
Gareth Greengrass was placed in one of these holding cells following the discovery of his secret affiliation with The Unforgivable and his involvement with the Calamity.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- Under normal circumstances, it is possible that watchwizards were tasked with guarding this area.
Appearances[]
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (video game) (First appearance)
