About[]
The Spirit Division is for creatures who have been classified a spirit by the British Ministry of Magic.[1]
History[]
The Spirit Division was created by Grogan Stump, the Minister for Magic, in the early eighteenth century. Previously, there were only two classifications for creatures in the wizarding world. However, beast and being did not adequately describe what a ghost is. Grogan decided to introduce a third classification and opened the Spirit Division for those who are more appropriately classified as a spirit.[1]
