Pius Thicknesse
1997 – 1998
Omitted from most official records, as he was under the Imperius Curse for
his entire term of office, and unconscious of anything that he was doing.
Kingsley Shacklebolt
1998 – present
Oversaw the capture of Death Eaters and Voldemort supporters following the
death of Lord Voldemort. Initially named as ‘caretaker Minister’, Shacklebolt
was subsequently elected to the office.
* Prior to 1707, the Wizards’ Council was the longest serving (though not the only) body to govern the
magical community in Britain. After the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692,
however, the wizarding community needed a more highly structured, organised and more complex
governing structure than they had hitherto used, to support, regulate and communicate with a
community in hiding. Only witches and wizards who enjoyed the title of ‘Minister for Magic’ are
included in this entry.
