☆ the government Hold tightly to your rights.
The Ministry of Magic (M.o.M.) is the governing body for the magical community of Great Britain. The Ministry connects the British government to the wizarding world. Its headquarters in London, is deep underground. It is headed by the Minister for Magic. It is known that other countries have their own Ministries of Magic, such as Norway, Germany, etc.
The Ministry is an unelected body, and appears largely oligarchic. There appears to be little coherent separation of powers and the judicial system is heavily biased, mud-bloods and half-breeds are often predjudiced against.
The Ministry gives an appearance of, at various times, either confounding incompetence or malice, being heavily-fisted. The frugal rights given to Witches and Wizards are torn away from other humans in their eyes/ Even people who have been later found to be innocent have been subjected to the horrors of Azkaban, The Ministry NEVER makes mistakes.

☆ the levels Hold tightly to your rights.
Since The Ministry is completely underground, the lower the floor number, the higher you are. Apparently the deeper you go, the darker the lies and secrets become.
⇢ Level 1
Minister for Magic and Support Staff
This department has the offices of the highest ministry officials. It includes these known offices:
Office of the Minister for Magic
Office of the Adviser to Minister
Office of the Senior Undersecretary to Minister for Magic
Office of the Junior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic
⇢ Level 2
Department of Magical Law Enforcement
The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department at the Ministry of Magic, although the Department of Mysteries' size is unknown. Arguably the most important of the various departments, it is a combination of police and justice facilities, and is roughly the equivalent to the Home Office of Muggle Britain. It includes the following known offices:
Auror Office
Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office
Wizengamot Administration Services
Improper Use of Magic Office
Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects (DACOCDSAPO)
⇢ Level 3

⇢ Level 4
Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures
The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is the second largest Department in the Ministry. After leaving Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione Granger briefly worked in this department before transferring to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. It includes these known departments:
Beast Division
Being Division
Spirit Division
Goblin Liaison Office

Office of Misinformation
⇢ Level 5
Department of International Magical Cooperation
The Department of International Magical Cooperation is an agency concerned in foreign affairs that attempts to get wizards from different countries to cooperate in wizarding actions both political and public. It is closest to the Muggle British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, though seems to hold less prowess in the Wizarding world, apparently. It includes these known departments:
International Magical Trading Standards Body
International Magical Office of Law
International Confederation of Wizards, British Seats
⇢ Level 6
Department of Magical Transportation
The Department of Magical Transportation is responsible for various aspects of magical transport. It includes these known departments:
Floo Network Authority
Broom Regulatory Control
Portkey Office
Apparation Test Centre
⇢ Level 7
Department of Magical Games and Sports
The Department of Magical Games and Sports, seen as the most relaxed department (posters for favourite Quidditch teams are found tacked to the walls), deals with organising sports events the likes of the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. Ludovic Bagman used to be the Head of Department here, but his gambling problem forced him to flee from Goblin creditors. It includes these known departments:
British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters
Official Gobstones Club
Ludicrous Patents Office
⇢ Level 8
The Atrium
The Atrium is an area that serves to welcome visitors to the Ministry of Magic. It includes these areas:
Lobby and Reception Area

⇢ Level 9
Department of Mysteries
The Department of Mysteries is a section of the Ministry of Magic that carries out confidential research. Most of its operations are carried out in total secrecy. Few wizards within the Ministry actually know what is located within this department. Those wizards who work in the Department of Mysteries are known as Unspeakables because of the confidential nature of their work. It includes these known chambers:
Hall of Prophecies
The Death Chamber
The Thought Chamber
The Time Chamber
The Space Chamber
The Ever-Locked Room
⇢ Level 10
Wizengamot Courtrooms (stairway access only)
