Indian Ministry of Magic

• Type: Magical Government
• Location: India
• Owner/Residents: Unknown
• Key Features: Unknown

The Indian Ministry of Magic is the presumed governing body for the wizarding community located in the country of India. The existence of a magical population in India has been confirmed, which logically necessitates a governmental structure to maintain order and uphold the International Statute of Secrecy. However, no details regarding the official name, location, structure, history, or leadership of this organization are mentioned in the seven original Harry Potter novels. Its functions and internal departments remain entirely unknown.

The Indian Ministry of Magic plays no role and is not mentioned at any point during the main narrative of the Harry Potter series. The focus of the story remains primarily on the British Ministry of Magic.

• In a 2007 web chat, when asked if there were wizards in countries like India, J.K. Rowling confirmed, “Of course. I have had to be a bit UK-centric in the books, but I was always aware that there were wizards all over the world.” This statement confirms the existence of an Indian wizarding community, and by extension, a governing body.
