Ursula:"After having read the essay on the MoM, I missed one plausible
explanation: I always saw the MoM as a parody of the United Nations,
not a national Government."

I'd think the European Union would be a more likely target for JKR's
skewer.  From our side of the Atlantic, it seems that every aspect of
life is being decided by a vast bureaucracy in Brussels. Have they
taken over the whole city?

The size of the MoM is important to understanding the wizard world.
Are there two or three, five or ten, or hundreds and hundreds in each
of these bureaus, offices, and squads?  The answer to that is an
important clue to the size of the wizard world in Great Britain at least.

You called yourself a wounded auror. What's St. Mungo's like? :)
