JKR Speaks: Arthur Weasly will NOT be next Minister of Magic

No: HPFGUIDX 107720

JKR has updated her web site again and says Arthur will not be the 
next Minister of Magic.  Of course that may not mean he will never be 
MoM, but as I have always maintained, I doubt it. I love Arthur, but 
he's just not Minister material imo.

So the question now is who will be?  Someone we know already? Or a 
completely new character? It won't be DD as he has to remain at 
Hogwarts for the duration of the story.  Who in the Ministry does 
that leave?  Amelia Bones? Deloris Umbridge? (Heaven forbid!)....I'm 
just not coming up with any others right now...any thoughts?

Cheers Mandy
