The Misuse of Magic Office was a division of the British Ministry of Magic, presumably falling under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Misuse of Magic Office is only mentioned on a question on the Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test once hosted on J. K. Rowling's official site. Judging by the name, it is possible this office was actually meant to be listed as the Improper Use of Magic Office, rather than a new division.
  • If this division exists as a separate section at the Ministry, however, it is possible that it differs from the one above in that while the former dealt with more severe incidents with potentially far-reaching consequences for the magical community, such as infractions of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, the Misuse of Magic Office handled what the Ministry perceived to be more trivial cases, where magic had been used unethically, but had not done too much damage.
