The Wizards' Council was the longest-serving (though not the only) body to govern the wizarding community of Britain, before the establishment of the Ministry of Magic[1]
Upon the signature of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, the wizarding community needed a more highly structured, organised and complex government structure, to support and regulate the community in hiding. Thus, in 1707, the Wizards' Council disbanded to be replaced by the Ministry of Magic. The first Minister was Ulick Gamp, who, in the days of the Council, had served as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.[1]
Known Wizards' Council members
- Barberus Bragge (Chief, c. 1269)
- Burdock Muldoon (Chief, 1448-1450) [2]
- Elfrida Clagg (Chief, fourteenth or seventeenth century)
- Ulick Gamp (Head of the Wizengamot, early eighteenth century)[1]
Known Wizard's Council Actions
- 1340s: Does not censure Nicholas Malfoy, who was widely believed to have been killing Muggle tenants and disguising their deaths as Black Death victims.[3]
- 1362: Made it illegal to play Quidditch within 50 miles of towns.
- 1368: Amended the ban on Quidditch by outlawing all playing within 100 miles of a town.
- 1499: Decreed that Quidditch should not be played anywhere where there is the slightest chance a Muggle could see and that violators of that decree would be chained to the wall of a dungeon.
- 1631: Passes the Code of Wand Use (which Clause Three is the infamous Wand Ban, forbidding non-Human magical Beings such as house-elves or goblins to carry a wand).
- 1637: Develops the Werewolf Code of Conduct, in hopes that werewolves sign it. Unsurprisingly, none was willing to show up before the Council and admit to being a werewolf.
- 1692: Signed the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.[1]
- 1707: Disbanded, to be replaced by the Ministry of Magic.[1]
