Ah of course. At least we're safe from him. At the end of Pheonix lots of Death Eaters (Malfoy included) got caught by Dumbledore and the Ministry turned up. That's when they all got carted off.

From TheLeakyCauldron:
Quote:
In a question and answer session with Great Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair at Parliament, the subject of HP came up:

Q8. Miss Anne Begg: Now that the summer recess is almost upon us, will my right hon. Friend have time to do what millions of people did this weekend and read the new Harry Potter novel by Scotland's most successful writer? What would he say to people who have been critical of those books, especially as they have done more to improve literacy and children's enjoyment of reading than even this Government's excellent education policies and everything that I did in 19 years as an English teacher?

The Prime Minister: The Harry Potter brief in my file is somewhat thin, which only shows that my officials' sense of importance is not what it should be. I was told by someone, however, that in the first chapter of the new book the Minister of Magic comes out of a picture to confront the Prime Minister. I am still searching for the Minister.

Well those of us that have read the book will now know that the new minister is Rufus Scrimgeour
He used to be the head Auror but it's funny that we have never heard of him before.
Poor Cornelius Fudge got the sack, he didn't deserve that.

He isn't the right man to have in charge when you are fighting a war of magic with an evil dangerous and very powerful wizard.

But in times of peace, he probably did his job well enough. It seemed to mostly involve covering up accidents, though we never saw what his full duties were.

Yeah, I suppose he wasn't so bad in the earlier books. But his stubborness, and his refusal to accept the facts that were staring him in the face, was what really turned me against him, and I think that after that he did deserve to lose his job. I think that the main reason he was so unwilling to accept Voldemort's return was because of how it would affect him personally.
