It is
a truth universally acknowledged that all our hosts aspire to
levels of petty displayed by one Albus Dumbledore in this chapter
of OoTP. As Harry faces trial by the Wizengamot led by one very
insecure Minister of Magic who just wants people to let him have
power in peace even as the Wizarding World is shifting due to
Voldy's return, Professor Dumbledore sweeps in and gives the
Minister of Magic a master class on shade and how to manipulate the
law to suit his needs.
