Minister Priscilla Dupont was a British witch who served as the eighteenth Minister for Magic of the British Ministry of Magic, in office from 1855 to 17 February 1858. She was likely only elected Minister once.[1]

Biography[]

Upon her accession to the office, she developed an irrational loathing of the Muggle Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston. This attained such proportions that it ended up in her being forced to step down on 17 February 1858, after such incidents as coins turning to frogspawn in Lord Palmerston's coat pockets. Ironically, Palmerston was forced to resign by the Muggles two days later on 19 February.[1]
