Knownly Hogwarts Board of The Entire Governors

The Hogwarts Board of Governors was a group of twelve wizards or witches who oversaw the running of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The appointment and suspension of a Headmaster was decided by the governors. They were also obliged to take action if a parent sought redress on any school-related issue. Governors had authority over the staff and could inspect the school to see how it functioned on a daily basis, and even shut down the school entirely if they felt it was necessary.
==Privileges==
The governors were responsible for the well-being of the school as well as ensuring that Hogwarts remained one of the finest school of magic in the world.The twelve Hogwarts Governors were very important and held considerable influence over the school. They ranked above the faculty at Hogwarts, who were required to accommodate the Governors when they visited in an official capacity. The Governors had free access to the grounds, and had the power to conduct inspections at the school, during which they would ask teachers and students questions about school life and related matters to determine the quality of the students' education.
==History==
The Board of Governors was established at some point after the school's inception in the 11th century by the four founders of Hogwarts.During the 1992–1993 school year, Malfoy, now chairman of the school governors, threatened to curse the other eleven governors' families if they did not suspend Albus Dumbledore from the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts because of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets (a plot he himself had orchestrated). Malfoy's threat was later revealed, causing him to be sacked from his position.
