Ministry of Magic
Magical bureaucratic headquarters
The Ministry of Magic is the governing body of the magical community in the Harry Potter fictional universe, responsible for regulating wizards, concealing magic from non-magical people, and enforcing magical law.
The term sometimes appears in political commentary to describe bureaucracies that seem to operate by their own mysterious rules: The planning department is our local Ministry of Magic—nobody knows how decisions actually get made.
