A Spirit is one of of the three classifications used by the Ministry of Magic to catalogue the various magical creatures that inhabit the wizarding world. The classification was created in 1811 by Minister for Magic Grogan Stump who formed the Spirit Division as part of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.
