I'll bet one of the first things the new Minister of Magic does in the
next book is issue a posthumous pardon to Sirius Black; and I don't
think Harry will have trouble with the ministry anymore regardless of
what laws he breaks. If you have the ministry's favor as Harry now
does you can literally get away with murder and if you don't then
they'll put you in Azkaban for spitting on the sidewalk. Law
enforcement in the wizard world is not exactly even handed.

As for Kreature, I think Harry will be strongly tempted to kill him
and the boy has a point. Kreature is an accessory to murder and must
be punished and he knows too much to be set free, but Azkaban has no
guards. I don't know if Harry will actually kill him but he will
certainly think about it.

By the way, anybody have an idea of how Kreature injured Buckbeak?
