TheMinister for Magic is the leader of the wizarding community in aparticular country, and is the head of their Ministry of Magic.

魔法部部长是某一国家巫师社会的领导人，亦是其魔法部首脑。

TheMinistry of Magic was formally established in 1707 with theappointment of the very first man to hold the title ‘Minister forMagic’, Ulick Gamp. The Minister for Magic is democraticallyelected, although there have been times of crisis inwhich the posthas simply been offered to an individual without a public vote(AlbusDumbledore was made such an offer, and turned it down repeatedly).Thereis no fixed limit to a Minister’s term ofoffice, but he or sheis obliged to hold regular elections at a maximuminterval of sevenyears. Ministers for Magic tend to last much longer thanMuggleministers. Generally speaking, and despite many a moan andgrumble,their community is behind them in a way that is rarely seenin the Muggleworld. This is perhaps due to a feeling, on the part ofwizards, that unless theyare seen to manage themselves competently,the Muggles might try to interfere.

魔法部是在1707年正式成立的，任命尤里克·甘普为第一任魔法部部长。魔法部部长是通过民主选举产生的，尽管历史上已有数次因情况紧急而不经投票直接将这职位提供给某人（阿不思·邓布利多曾多次被提议直接接任，但他一再回绝）。魔法部长无固定的任期，但其有义务定期举行选举，且各次间隔不得长于七年。魔法部长常常会比麻瓜部长们在位更长的时间。总地说来，尽管有很多抱怨，在某种程度上整个巫师社会还是挺支持魔法部的——这在麻瓜社会十分罕见。这也许是由于巫师们普遍抱有的一种看法：如果他们看起来没把自己管理得很好，麻瓜就会尝试介入。

TheMugglePrime Minister has no part in appointing the Minister forMagic, whose electionis a matter only for the magical communitythemselves. All matters relating tothe magical community in Britainare managed solely by the Minister for Magic,and he has solejurisdiction over his Ministry. Emergency visits to the MugglePrimeMinister by the Minister for Magic are announced by a portrait ofUlickGamp (first Minister for Magic) that hangs in the Muggle PrimeMinister’s study in number 10 Downing Street.

麻瓜首相无权干涉魔法部部长的任命，这只是巫师社会自己的事务。不列颠所有与魔法社会有关的事务仅由魔法部部长管理，他对整个魔法部有唯一的管辖权。魔法部部长与麻瓜首相的紧急会面均由挂在唐宁街10号麻瓜首相书房墙上的尤里克·甘普（首任魔法部长）的肖像宣布。

No Muggle Prime Minister has ever set foot in the Ministry of Magic, forreasons mostsuccinctly summed up by ex-Minister Dugald McPhail (termof office 1858-1865): ‘their puir wee braines couldnae copewi’it.’

没有麻瓜首相曾跨入魔法部一步，其原因被前首相都格·迈克菲尔（1858年至1865年在位）最简明扼要地概括为：“塔闷那不杂氧滴闹子堆付不了这斜。”(他们可怜的脑子承受不了)

Minister: Ulick Gamp
Term of Office: 1707 - 1718
Previously head of the Wizengamot, Gamp had the onerous job of policing a fractious and frightened community adjusting to the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy. His greatest legacy was to found the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

部长: 尤里克 · 甘普

任期: 1707-1718

作为威森加摩的前领袖，甘普有着管理一个狂躁受惊且正在适应《国际保密法》实施的社会的艰巨任务。其最大成就是创立了魔法法律执行司。

Damocles Rowle

Rowle was elected on a platform of being ‘tough on Muggles’. Censured by the International Confederation of Wizards, he was eventually forced to step down.

达摩克利斯 · 罗尔

1718-1726

罗尔因宣传“对麻瓜强硬点！”而被选中。他受到了国际魔法师联合会的强烈谴责，并最终被强行赶下台。

Perseus Parkinson

Attempted to pass a bill making it illegal to marry a Muggle. Misread the public mood; the wizarding community, tired of anti-Muggle sentiment and wanting peace, voted him out at the first opportunity.

珀尔修斯 · 帕金森

企图通过议案使与麻瓜通婚为非法。他误解了公众情绪；对反麻瓜观念感到疲倦并渴望和平的巫师社会抓住第一机会把他赶下了台。

Hesphaestus Gore

Gore was one of the earliest Aurors. Successfully put down a number of revolts by magical beings, although historians feel his refusal to contemplate rehabilitation programmes for werewolves ultimately led to more attacks. Renovated and reinforced the prison of Azkaban.

赫斯菲斯托斯 · 戈尔

1752-1770

戈尔是最早的一批傲罗之一，成功地压制了一系列神奇生物的叛乱活动，尽管历史学家们觉得他拒绝考虑狼人康复计划最终会导致更多的袭击。翻新并加固了阿兹卡班监狱。

Maximilian Crowdy

1770 - 1781
Father of nine Crowdy was a charismatic leader who routed out several extremist pure-blood groups planning Muggle attacks. His mysterious death in office has been the subject of numerous books and conspiracy theories.

马克西米兰 · 克劳迪

1770-1781

克劳迪是九个孩子的父亲，也是个有号召力的领袖。他击溃了数个策划麻瓜袭击的极端纯血统团体。他在办公室里的神秘死亡为众多书籍与阴谋论者提供了无穷话题。

Porteus Knatchbull
1781 - 1789
Was called in confidentially in 1782 by the Muggle Prime Minister of the day, Lord North, to see whether he could help with King George III’s emerging mental instability. Word leaked out that Lord North believed in wizards, and he was forced to resign after a motion of no confidence.

波蒂乌斯 · 克纳奇布尔

1781-1789

1789-1798

被普遍地认为是受了有财富与地位的纯血统者太多影响。

格罗根·司登普 Stump是门柱的意思

Revealed an unhealthy anti-Muggle bias in office; disliked new Muggle technology such as the telegraph, which she claimed interfered with proper wand function.

约瑟芬 · 弗林特

1819-1827

任职时显示出了一种不健康的反麻瓜偏见。讨厌诸如电报的新奇麻瓜科技。她断言电报干扰了正常的魔杖功能。

Ottaline Gambol
1827 - 1835
A much more forward-looking Minister, Gambol established committees to investigate Muggle brainpower which seemed, during this period of the British Empire, to be greater than some wizards had credited.

奥塔莱恩·甘伯

1827 - 1835

一个相当高瞻远瞩的部长。甘伯创立了委员会来调查麻瓜们的智能——在大英帝国的这段时期(第一次工业革命)，麻瓜们的智力看上去比巫师们所认为的还要伟大得多。

Radolphus Lestrange
1835 - 1841
Reactionary who attempted to close down the Department of Mysteries, which ignored him. Eventually resigned due to ill health, which was widely rumoured to be inability to cope with the strains of office.

拉道尔菲斯 · 莱斯特兰奇

1835-1841

企图关停忽略了他的神秘事务司的反动分子。最终因健康状况不佳——据说是无力对付工作的重负——而辞职。

Hortensia Milliphutt
1841 - 1849
Introduced more legislation than any other sitting Minister, much of it useful, but some wearisome (hat pointiness and so on), which ultimately resulted in her political downfall.

霍滕西亚 · 米利普特

1841-1849

推行的法律比其他任何一位部长都多。其中的大部分蛮有用，但有一些令人厌倦（像是尖顶帽……），终归导致她的政权垮台。

Evangeline Orpington
1849 - 1855
A good friend of Queen Victoria’s, who never realised she was a witch, let alone Minister for Magic. Orpington is believed to have intervened magically (and illegally) in the Crimean War.

伊万杰琳 · 奥平顿

1849-1855

维多利亚女王的一位好友，从未对女王说过她是名女巫，更别说是魔法部长了。有人相信，奥平顿使用了魔法（当然也是非法地）介入克里米亚战争[1853-1855]。

Priscilla Dupont
1855 - 1858
Conceived an irrational loathing of the Muggle Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, to an extent that caused such trouble (coins turning to frogspawn in his coat pockets, etc) that she was forced to step down. Ironically, Palmerston was forced to resign by the Muggles two days later.

普里西拉 · 杜邦

1855-1858

自我想象出了对麻瓜首相帕默斯顿勋爵不合逻辑的仇恨，甚至到了引发太多的事端（比如，勋爵大衣口袋里的硬币变成了蛙卵，等等）以致她被迫下台的程度。具有讽刺意味的是，帕默斯顿两天后也被麻瓜们迫使辞职。（1858年2月）

Dugald McPhail
1858 - 1865
A safe pair of hands. While the Muggle parliament underwent a period of marked upheaval, the Ministry of Magic knew a period of welcome calm.

都格·迈克菲尔

1858 - 1865

办事十分可靠。当麻瓜议会经受一时的明显动荡时，魔法部却经历了一段令人愉快的平静时期。

Faris “Spout-hole” Spavin
1865 - 1903
Longest-ever serving Minister for Magic, and also the most long-winded, he survived an ‘assassination attempt’ (kicking) from a centaur who resented the punchline of Spavin’s infamous ‘a centaur, a ghost and a dwarf walk into a bar’ joke. Attended Queen Victoria’s funeral in an admiral’s hat and spats, at which point the Wizengamot suggested gently that it was time he move aside (Spavin was 147 when he left office).

法瑞斯·“溢浆孔”·斯帕文

1865 - 1903

有史以来执政时间最长的魔法部部长，同时也是最啰嗦的。斯帕文经历了一只愤愤不平的马人——因他臭名远扬的“一只马人，一个鬼魂和一个小矮人走进了一间酒吧”笑话最后的点睛之语——的“未遂暗杀”（猛踹）却存活了下来。他穿着海军上将的帽子和鞋罩出席了维多利亚女王的葬礼，就在此时，威森加摩很有礼貌地提出他是时候靠边站了（斯帕文离职时已是147岁高龄）。

Venusia Crickerly
1903 - 1912
Second ex-Auror to take office and considered both competent and likeable, Crickerly died in a freak gardening accident (Mandrake related).

威努西亚 · 克里克利

1903-1912

第二个担任部长的前傲罗，被认为是既称职又讨人喜爱。克里克利在一场怪异的园艺事故中去世（与曼德拉草有关）。

Archer Evermonde
1912 - 1923
In post during the Muggle First World War, Evermonde passed emergency legislation forbidding witches and wizards to get involved, lest they risk mass infractions of the International Statute of Secrecy. Thousands defied him, aiding Muggles where they could.

阿彻 · 埃弗蒙德

1912-1923

其任职期间恰逢麻瓜的第一次世界大战，埃弗蒙德通过了紧急法案禁止女巫和巫师参与战争，以免他们大批地冒险违反《国际保密法》。数千人违抗了他，力所能及地帮助麻瓜们。

Lorcan McLaird
1923 - 1925
A gifted wizard, but an unlikely politician, McLaird was an exceptionally taciturn man who preferred to communicate in monosyllables and expressive puffs of smoke that he produced through the end of his wand. Forced from office out of sheer irritation at his eccentricities.

洛坎 · 麦克莱尔德

1923-1925

一名天资聪慧的巫师，却是一名不幸的政治家。迈克莱尔德是一个特别不苟言笑的人，更情愿用单音节词和来自他魔杖尾部的意味深长的缕缕烟雾来交流。他纯粹因为对他的奇特癖好的恼怒而被迫离职。

Hector Fawley
1925 - 1939
Undoubtedly voted in because of his marked difference to McLaird, the ebullient and flamboyant Fawley did not take sufficiently seriously the threat presented to the world wizarding community by Gellert Grindelwald. He paid with his job.

赫克托 · 福利

1925-1939

福利毫无疑问地当选，因为他有着与迈克莱尔德显著的区别。热情洋溢并且爱卖弄的福利没有足够重视眼前盖勒特·格林德沃对整个巫师世界的威胁。为此，他失去了他的职位。

Leonard Spencer-Moon
1939 - 1948
A sound Minister who rose through the ranks from being tea-boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Oversaw a great period of international wizarding and Muggle conflict. Enjoyed a good working relationship with Winston Churchill.

伦纳德·斯潘塞-沐恩

1939 - 1948

一个明智的部长。他从魔法事故和灾害司的一个茶童开始级级攀升。他长期监管了国际巫师与麻瓜的矛盾，与温斯顿·丘吉尔有着良好的工作伙伴关系。

Wilhelmina Tuft
1948 - 1959
Cheery witch who presided over a period of welcome peace and prosperity. Died in office after discovering, too late, her allergy to Alihotsy-flavoured fudge.

威廉敏娜 · 塔夫特

1948-1959

一个兴高采烈的女巫，领导了一段令人愉悦的和平与繁荣。因不知道自己对阿里奥特叶味的法吉软糖过敏而在工作时去世。

Ignatius Tuft
1959 - 1962
Son of the above. A hard-liner who capitalised on his mother’s popularity to gain election. Promised to institute a controversial and dangerous Dementor breeding program and was forced from office.

伊格内修斯 · 塔夫特

1959-1962

前任首相之子。一个充分利用了其母之受欢迎而赢得竞选的强硬派。发誓实行一个有争议且危险的摄魂怪繁殖计划。后被赶下台。

Nobby Leach
1962 - 1968
First Muggle-born Minister for Magic, his appointment caused consternation among the old (pure-blood) guard, many of whom resigned government posts in protest. Has always denied having anything to do with England’s 1966 World Cup Win. Left office after contracting mysterious illness (conspiracy theories abound).

诺比 · 里奇

1962-1968

首位麻瓜出身的魔法部长，他的任职引起了元老派（纯血统派）的惊恐。他们中的许多人辞去了公职以示抗议。他一直矢口否认曾在1966年帮助英格兰夺得足球世界杯。他在得了某种神秘疾病后离职（对此有很多阴谋论）。（1966年世界杯决赛德国输给了英格兰。而英格兰的一个进球很诡异，裁判认为进了，德国球员不这么认为，从录像回放也无法判定。这是最有名的一个门线悬案。）

Eugenia Jenkins
1968 - 1975
Jenkins dealt competently with pure-blood riots during Squib Rights marches in the late sixties, but was soon confronted with the first rise of Lord Voldemort. Jenkins was soon ousted from office as inadequate to the challenge.

尤金妮娅 · 詹金斯

1968-1975

六十年代后期，詹肯斯出色地处理了哑炮游行期间的纯血统骚乱，但很快便不得不面对伏地魔的第一次崛起。詹肯斯不久便因无法解决这艰巨任务而被革职。

Harold Minchum
1975 - 1980
Seen as a hard-liner, he placed even more Dementors around Azkaban, but was unable to contain what looked like Voldemort’s unstoppable rise to power.

哈罗德 · 明彻姆

1975-1980

作为一个强硬派，他在阿兹卡班周围安置了更多的摄魂怪，但无法遏制伏地魔势不可挡的力量。

Millicent Bagnold
1980 - 1990
A highly able Minister. Had to answer to the International Confederation of Wizards for the number of breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy on the day and night following Harry Potter’s survival of Lord Voldemort’s attack. Acquitted herself magnificently with the now infamous words: ‘I assert our inalienable right to party,’ which drew cheers from all present.

米里森·巴格诺

1980 - 1990

能力超强的一个部长。在哈利·波特逃过伏地魔的袭击后的一天一夜，《国际保密法》被无数次违反。她也因此不得不接受国际魔法师联合会的问询。她表现极好，说了这些现在著名的话：“我维护我们不可剥夺的庆祝的权利。”并因此夺得了在场所有人的欢呼。

Cornelius Fudge
1990 - 1996
A career politician overly-fond of the old guard. Persistent denial of the continuing threat of Lord Voldemort ultimately cost him his job.

康奈利·福吉

1990-1996

一个过于喜爱保守派的职业政治家。对即将继续的伏地魔威胁的坚决否定最终使他丢了工作。

Rufus Scrimgeour
1996 - 1997
The third ex-Auror to gain office, Scrimgeour died in office at the hands of Lord Voldemort.

鲁福斯·斯克林杰

1996 - 1997

第三个担任此职的前傲罗。斯克林杰在职期间死在了伏地魔的手中。

Pius Thicknesse
1997 - 1998
Omitted from most official records, as he was under the Imperius Curse for his entire term of office, and unconscious of anything that he was doing.

皮尔斯·辛克尼斯

1997 - 1998

被大多数官方文献忽略，因为他在整个任期内均受夺魂咒的控制，并且对他所做的任何事都毫无知觉。

Kingsley Shacklebolt
1998 - present
Oversaw the capture of Death Eaters and Voldemort supporters following the death of Lord Voldemort. Initially named as ‘caretaker Minister’, Shacklebolt was subsequently elected to the office.

金斯莱·沙克尔

1998年至今

在伏地魔死后领导了对食死徒和伏地魔支持者的抓捕。沙克尔最初是“代部长”，随后被选为部长。

*Prior to 1707, the Wizards’ Council was the longest serving (though not the only) body to govern the magical community in Britain. After the imposition of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692, however, the wizarding community needed a more highly structured, organised and more complex governing structure than they had hitherto used, to support, regulate and communicate with a community in hiding. Only witches and wizards who enjoyed the title of ‘Minister for Magic’ are included in this entry.

在1707年之前，巫师评议会是执政时间最长的（尽管不是唯一的）管理不列颠巫师社会的机构。但是，在《国际保密法》于1692年实施后，巫师社会亟需一个比他们迄那时使用的更系统，更有条理而且也更复杂的统治机构来支撑、约束和沟通一个被隐藏着的社会。只有享有“魔法部部长”这一头衔的女巫和巫师被编入本条目。
