Swedish Ministry of Magic

• Type: Governmental Body

• Owner/Residents: Unknown
• Key Features: Unknown

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.

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.

The physical location, layout, and specific departments of the Swedish Ministry of Magic are not described in any known source.

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.
