When Did Ulick Gamp Serve as Minister for Magic?
Ulick Gamp was the Minister for Magic almost 200 years before the events of Hogwarts Legacy, serving from 1707-1718. His legacy would be felt long after he was gone, with the hanging of his portrait signaling a safe place where Wizardfolk could stay. He founded the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and was responsible for banning the use of Killing Curses, and coining the phrase “Unforgivable Curse.”
Gamp’s legacy in the Wizarding World is subtle for the casual viewer or reader, but for the characters in the fictional universe, he laid the foundation for many key entities present in Harry Potter. Harry himself would go into the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, eventually serving as Head Auror there. It is the largest department at the British Ministry of Magic and lives on into the present.
