Although there are department heads at the MoM, Fudge was the sole decision-maker, and his power hungry ego was in control of the wizarding world. Fudge chose to cover up the truth by misguiding the wizarding population. There were those in the Ministry that knew what he was doing was wrong, but fear probably stopped them from doing what was right.


I agree, if the Ministry was run by than more than one person, then arguments and discussions would have ensured that Harry’s story was at least checked on; better safe than sorry; at least one person would have wanted to make sure he wasn’t lying. If a board ran the Ministry, it would have ensured that one man’s greed for power didn’t doom them all. It would mean better decision-making, equality, control over those with power, and most of all fairness to the wizarding population. I think the heads of departments should have been given more responsibility. The Auror Department should have been able to confirm that the Dark Lord was once again active instead of searching for Sirius Black. And, I am sure if the head had more control, he could have done that.


A committee of ministers is better in making decisions than one man alone. That would have put the wizarding world in a better position. And it would have stopped the Dark Lord from gaining power as quickly as he did. The Ministry could have prevented a lot from happening, thus they wouldn't have to waste time in cover-ups and losing the trust of the wizarding world, if only they had listened to Albus Dumbledore.
