new minister

Book 6: HP & the Half-Blood Prince Forum

there is supposed to be a new minister of magic in the 6th book. Many sites are reporting that it is NOT Arthur Weasley. WHo do you think it is?

I think that it's going to be someone that is working for the Dark Lord...
I have thought that it would be Lucius Malfoy for some time. He's got much influence.
And, I see him getting out of Azkaban fairly soon. Too many connections.

and he would be soooo wicked.

That disappointed me when I found out. I really thought he would be great for the job.
Even with his connections, I don't see Malfoy getting it after the whole thing in the DoM. Maybe that witch that was influential (in Harry's favor) at his trial. (Can't remember her name.)

Wasn't that Amelia Bones, Susan's aunt?

That sounds right.

That would be cool if it was her. A new character to spice things up.

Yeah. She seemed very insightful, and that's exactly what the MoM needs right now.

Perhap the new minister is going to be Alastor Moody.

wouldn't that be fun?

Fun, but utterly terrifying. Ferrets everywhere......

lmao ... i don't think Malfoy will get the job, now the minnistry know dumbedore was telling the truth, they will know that harry's list of deatheaters was right, so i think all the deatheaters will go into hiding, all those that dont get caught that is, i also think the minsitery need to creat a new prison, i recon tha azkaban will fall anytime soon, probable early in the HBP

Keep in mind that politics will come into play. People will sell their souls for power.

i didnt think that arthur weasley would become minister. first of all he loves muggles too much and i also think that dumbledore wants him in the background. he can find out information without drawing any attention to himself. that is how all of the OoP members are. no one will be suspicious

I rather like the idea of it being Amelia Bones...
