The Beast Division is a sub-division of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the British Ministry of Magic. It first appears in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
About[]
The Beast Division is for creatures who have been classified a beast by the British Ministry of Magic. The Werewolf Capture Unit is a part of the Division for issues involving sufferers of lycanthropy when they are in their transformed state. For werewolves in their human form, there is the Werewolf Support Services in the Being Division. There is also a Centaur Liaison Office that no centaur has ever used. Being sent to work here is considered a sign that the person is going to be fired soon.[1]
The Pest Sub-Division is consulted when Bundimuns have grown too large to be easily removed with Scouring Charms.[2]
History[]
The Beast Division was created by Grogan Stump, the British Minister for Magic, in the early eighteenth century.[1]
Newton Scamander transferred to the Beast Division from the Office for House-Elf Relocation. His expert knowledge of strange magical animals earned him a rapid promotion.[1]
