The Minister for Magic is the leader of the wizarding world in the United Kingdom and the highest ranking member of the Ministry of Magic, which he controls. The position somewhat corresponds to the Prime Minister of British Muggles.

The Minister is advised on wizarding matters by his (or her) staff members and by the other Heads of Departments. He (or she) also chairs the Wizengamot to pass Wizarding Laws, or to hear important trials (such as Harry Potter's case), though the verdict is decided by a panel of jury, including the Minister himself. Many other wizarding countries also have Ministers and have the similar governmental systems such as the Bulgarian minister. See Less
