======Swedish Ministry of Magic======
=====Location Information=====
  * **Type:** Governmental Body
  * **Location:** [[Sweden]]
  * **Owner/Residents:** Unknown
  * **Key Features:** Unknown
=====Description and History=====
The Swedish Ministry of Magic is the governmental body that presides over the magical community in [[Sweden]]. Like its counterpart, the [[British Ministry of Magic]], its primary responsibilities are presumed to include enforcing [[wizarding law]], managing relations with the non-magical (Muggle) government of [[Sweden]], and upholding the [[International Statute of Secrecy]].
Very little is known about the history or internal structure of this organization. Its existence is confirmed by a single known event: the Ministry once presented an award to the master [[Potioneer]] [[Zygmunt Budge]] in recognition of his invention of the [[Doxycide]] potion, a substance used to temporarily paralyse Doxies. (Wonderbook: Book of Potions)
No further details regarding the Swedish Ministry's location, departments, or key officials have been revealed in the primary [[canon]].
=====Role in the Story=====
The Swedish Ministry of Magic plays no direct role in the events of the seven *Harry Potter* novels. Its existence is part of the broader world-building, confirming that the wizarding population of [[Sweden]] has an established governing body. Its mention helps to illustrate that the [[Wizarding World]] is global, with many countries having their own Ministries structured similarly to the one in [[Great Britain]].
=====Known Areas Within=====
The physical location, layout, and specific departments of the Swedish Ministry of Magic are not described in any known source.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
The Swedish Ministry of Magic is not mentioned in the original seven *Harry Potter* books. Its only known reference comes from the video game **Wonderbook: Book of Potions**, released in 2012, which was developed in collaboration with J.K. Rowling.
While the novels do mention a magical creature native to the country, the [[Swedish Short-Snout]] [[dragon]], there is no information connecting this creature to the operations or regulations of the Swedish Ministry of Magic.
