"….is this the kind of diplomatic neutrality one might expect of a ruthless careerist whose long-term ambition is undoubtedly to be Minister for Magic?"
-- Rita Skeeter (Pm)
By the time that the Hogwarts Express is leaving King’s Cross for the start of her daughter Rose’s fourth year, Hermione Granger has become the Minister for Magic (CC1.5).
This had been predicted by Rita Skeeter during her commentary at the 2014 Quidditch World Cup final (Pm).
