I figured we would see a new Minister in book 6, after the wizard 
community has a chance to see that Fudge isn't doing anything about 
Voldermort.  Perhaps we will see Dumbledore take the Minister job 
near the end of book 7, though.  Did he turn down the minister job to 
be available to Harry during his school years and now that he is 
nearly done, Dumbledore will move on?

Also, do we know who the previous Minister was?  I can't remember.
