A Ministry of Magic is the primary governing body of the magical community in many countries. Headed by a Minister for Magic, a Ministry of Magic is responsible for regulating and enforcing laws for the magical community, as well as keeping said community hidden from the Muggle world.

Known countries with Ministries of MagicEdit

• Andorra
• Burkina Faso
• Bulgaria
• Germany
• New Zealand
• Norway
• The United Kingdom (also appears to govern Ireland)

Possibly Bangladesh as well.

Behind the scenesEdit

• It is possible that, in countries where the Muggle government is not divided up into ministries, the wizarding governing body takes a different name styled after the appropriate term in that country. This cannot be confirmed, however, as wizarding government in countries without ministries has yet to be referred to.
