A Goldfeesh says:
According to the Lexicon, Millicent Bagnold was the
previous minister until she retired in 1990. Since
then Fudge has been in power from 1990 onward.

A. Goldfeesh (who knows the Bagnold info is in the 1st
1/3 of OOP somewhere as she's just started re-reading
it, but can't find where--perhaps JKR's fabled 8th
book will be an index?)
