Hi everyone --

I desperately want to get involved in this discussion of the wizarding 
world govt & legal systems but am a bit short on time today.  I do, 
however, want to point out a few quick points:

1.  There are a number of wizarding statutes mentioned in the books & 
the schoolbooks.

2.  The existence of statutes certainly indicate that there must be some 
legislative arm (even if, as susanna I believe noted, is a function 
being exercised by the executive branch & not a separate branch).

The little bit of discussion that we've had on this topic to date can 
all be found in the Wizarding World Govt FAQ:

I hope to jump in at some point -- this is all very fascinating!
