Cornelius Fudge is the first Minister of Magic we are introduced to in the wizarding world. He is a small, portly fellow who is rather old fashioned. He is not considered to be a very good Minister of Magic, and often relies on Albus Dumbledore for advice when faced with difficult decisions. He often refuses to accept the truth instead of facing reality head on. He is married, and is often found at Madam Roberta’s Hogsmeade pub, The Three Broomsticks, indulging in a firewhiskey.
