Last we heard from the world of magic, the Minister of Magic was Hermione Granger. Hermione was elected the Minister of Magic in the 2010s. She succeeded Kingsley Shacklebolt in office and played a major role in the nabbing of Theodore Nott and the confiscation of an illegal Time Turner. Hermione joined the Ministry after she graduated from Hogwarts and joined the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. She was later promoted to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and eventually, she became the Minister of Magic, as is seen in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
