HP4GU Contest #15

[Joy M]

No: HPFGUIDX 26857

I know you all like puzzles, but, well, you're not getting one this 
week because I like creative contests; they're a lot more fun, and 
less work, for me.  (C'mon, give it a try...you know you can be 
creative.  Sure you can. Make the contestmeister happy.)

OK, here goes.  Way back when, pigwidgeon37 said:

".. it is never made clear who nominates or elects the Minister of 
Magic."

and Lyda Clunas speculated that

"I'd imagine that there's some sort of board of Ministry officials or 
such, but who knows, perhaps it's a popular election. That would be 
interesting..." 

Interesting, indeed.  Let's suppose there is an election and wizards 
and witches like Dumbledore, Fudge, Crouch, McGonagall, etc. had to 
run for office.  What would their election campaigns be like?  You 
tell us.  Write a political slogan, campaign ad, or anything else 
campaign-related for a candidate for Minister of Magic.  Your 
candidate can be a known HP character, or a character you make up.  
You can even run for Minister of Magic yourself.  (Make the most of 
it...you're not likely to get another opportunity.)

As an example, I suspect that if Gilderoy Lockhart were running for 
MoM, his campaign slogan would be something along the line of:

"Vote for Lockhart -- The Only Wizard with a Smile Dazzling Enough to 
Defeat the Dark Lord!"

Email your entry to me at HP4GUCon at aol.com or to the above address.  
(Make sure you save your entry, and send it a second time if you 
don't receive a response from me.)  You've got a week or so.  May the 
best wizard win.
