Perseus Parkinson

Minister Perseus Parkinson was the British Minister for Magic from 1726 to 1733.

He attempted to pass a bill making it illegal to marry a Muggle. However, in doing so, he misread the public mood; the wizarding public was tired of anti-Muggle sentiment and wanted peace. Parkinson was therefore voted out during the next election for Minister.
