CORNELIUS FUDGE

A portly, gray-haired man, Cornelius Fudge is the current Minister of Magic, but he wasn't the first choice to be so: he got the job only after Bartemius Crouch was publicly shamed and Dumbledore refused the position. Nowhere near as powerful or wise a wizard as Dumbledore, Fudge reportedly sent owls to Hogwarts every day requesting advice. But over time, it seems that Cornelius grew to love his job, and the power that came with it, and not only did he stop asking for Dumbledore's advice, he began a yearlong crusade attempting to discredit Dumbledore (and Harry Potter) for trying to tell the truth about the return of Voldemort. While he often attempts to be fatherly to Harry and Marietta Edgecomb, more often his paranoid and easily-bought personality shows through that paternal facade. Fudge eventually becomes so paranoid it becomes ridiculous and boarders on mentally-ill, accusing Dumbledore of forming an army to take over the Ministry and overthrow him. He threatens the Daily Prophet to manipulate public opinion against Dumbledore and Harry, portraying the former as senile and the latter a delusional, fame-obsessed teenager. Unfortunately for Fudge's state of denial, he saw Voldemort with his own eyes, and has finally been forced to publicly acknowledge that what Dumbledore and Harry had been saying was true. At least now the Order of the Phoenix will have the Ministry of Magic on their side... hopefully it will actually prove helpful (it will be nice if Sirius's name gets cleared by them, even though it will be, sadly, post-mortem).

"'What about my punishment?'....... 'Oh, my dear boy, we're not going to punish you for a little thing like that! cried Fudge, waving his crumpet impatiently. 'It was a accident! We don't send people to Azkaban just for blowing up their aunts!' But this didn't tally at all with Harry's past dealings with the Ministry of Magic." PoA, pg 45
