	Movies - Minor Ministry officials in Harry Potter

This article is about minor members of the Ministry of Magic in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The characters Arthur Weasley, Percy Weasley, Cornelius Fudge, Barty Crouch, Dolores Umbridge, Ludo Bagman, Mad-Eye Moody, Rufus Scrimgeour, Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt have their own pages.

Broderick Bode

Broderick Bode (d. January 1996) was an Unspeakable, a worker in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, he is placed under the Imperius Curse by Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, who sought to obtain Harry's prophecy for Lord Voldemort. Bode suffered spell damage from his attempt to steal the prophecy and was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital; he was subsequently strangled by a potted Devil's Snare plant at Christmas to prevent him from revealing any information about the Death Eaters' plot.

Amelia Bones

Amelia Susan Bones (d. July 1996) was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She is described as being a square-jawed witch with close-cropped grey hair and a monocle.

Harry's classmate from Hufflepuff, Susan Bones is her niece. Her brother Edgar Bones was a member of the Order of the Phoenix during the first war and was killed together with his wife and children by Death Eaters.

Madam Bones sat on the Wizengamot and presided over Harry's trial in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in which Cornelius Fudge acted as the prosecutor and Albus Dumbledore was the defence counsel as well as a witness. Despite poor treatment of Harry by Fudge, Madam Bones managed to keep the trial fairly unbiased and Harry was found innocent by a large majority of the court.

She was brutally murdered by Voldemort personally shortly before the beginning of the story of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. According to the recently-dismissed Minister for Magic, she put up a good fight. Afterwards, some members of the Order of the Phoenix referred to her as one of the greatest witches of the era, and several wizards feel deeply troubled by Bones' death.

Amos Diggory

Amos Diggory works in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic, and first appears in a few scenes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Unlike his son, who is quite modest, Amos likes to boast about his son's accomplishments and gives Harry a hard time. He is quite emotional and often gets carried away with himself. The Diggory family lives outside Ottery St. Catchpole, near the Weasley family.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Amos Diggory found Winky lying beneath the Dark Mark at the Quidditch World Cup and questioned her about what happened. Later, he asked Arthur Weasley to help Alastor Moody out of trouble the day Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew kidnapped him: thinking the incident was another false alarm, he wanted to ensure that Moody's new job at Hogwarts wouldn't be jeopardised.
