He mentioned the names of [[Antonin Dolohov]], [[Evan Rosier]], [[Travers]], [[Mulciber (Riddle-era)|Mulciber]], and [[Severus Snape]], all of whom seemed to have already either been killed, captured, or defected, until he called the name of [[Augustus Rookwood]]. Rookwood was an [[Unspeakable]], and a double-agent, spying on the Ministry for Voldemort. This was news to the Ministry, but Karkaroff was sent back to Azkaban, pending a review into Rockwood's case; when Karkaroff's allegations proved true, he was released, and went on to take the position of [[Headmaster]] of [[Durmstrang Institute]]. |

Rookwood had persuaded Bagman to give him information in return with promises of a future career in the Ministry, and Bagman had obliged, fully believing the Rockwood was working only for the Ministry. Much to Crouch's disappointment, Bagman was cleared of all charges. Bagman eventually became Head of the [[Department of Magical Games and Sports]]. |

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]
Behind the scenes
- It is known that the Department of Mysteries was already in operation in at least 1672,[4] so it is probable that before the inception of the Ministry of Magic in 1707, it was a division of the Wizards' Council.
- In Elfrida Clagg's entry on Pottermore's Timeline of the Wizarding World, the Wizards' Council was originally incorrectly referred to as the "Warlock's Councils". The mistake has since been corrected.[5]
