Groups and Organizations

The Salisbury Fools
Intention: An unofficial group of officials from the Ministry of Magic who pledged themselves to changing the Ministry for the better in the aftermath the Global Wizarding War. They saw the Ministry as ineffective and weak, and hoped to change the Ministry and push for reforms within the organisation and put in place policies that would better protect the general populace.
Additional information: The Salisbury Fools were first formed in 1945 in a pub in Salisbury, after which the founding members began to gather more members and allies to strengthen their political position and further the group's agendas. Many members of Salisbury Fools also joined the Order of the Phoenix to resist the Dark Lord during the First and Second Wizarding Wars.
     Today, there are only a handful of Salisbury Fools who are still part of the Ministry or the Wizengamot; many have retired due to old age, and quite a number of them had perished during the fight against the Dark Lord. Their influence has diminished significantly, their legacy still lives on in their protégés. While they are not considered by most people as members of the Salisbury Fools, and they may not share the same beliefs as their mentors, these younger officials are no less dedicated in their efforts to enact positive changes within the Ministry and serve the wizarding community better.
