Fudge Reveals the Existence of Magic to the Prime Minister

PAGES: 5-6

The Prime Minister reflects on his initial encounter with Cornelius Fudge years earlier, when he first learned of the magical world. Fudge had then explained the existence of wizards, witches, and magical creatures, assuring the Prime Minister that the Ministry of Magic kept their activities hidden from the Muggle world. Fudge's casual mention of broomstick regulations and dragons left the Prime Minister in shock.
