After Cornelius Fudge's bumbling and downright dangerous handling of Voldemort's return to power, a new Minister of Magic will be instated in Half-Blood Prince.
Asked in an online chat:
Is there going to be a new Minister of Magic in the next books?
J.K. Rowling: Yes. Ha! "Finally, a concrete bit of information," I hear you cry!
new! Forum contributor "mcjazzman32" suggests Amelia Bones: "I think the most obvious decision is Amelia Bones. She's been mentioned as a strong, unbiased Ministry member and a veteran of magical politics."
