Cornelius Oswald Fudge was born before 1964 in Great Britain to either a half-blood or pure-blood family. It’s almost as if Fudge didn’t want to disturb the Death Eaters’ allies. Nevertheless, Fudge was, at his core, an extremely arrogant, paranoid, delusional and selfish person. Curiously, however, in spite of believing Fudge would draw a line there, and in spite of Umbridge often and unfairly receiving far more blame (mostly from Hogwarts) than Fudge for everything that happened that year, both of them were immoral in very similar ways. His death was announced by his family, who said that Hardy died after “a tremendous life: a giant career in theatre, television and film spanning more than 70 years.” Author J K Rowling, too, tweeted, “So very sad to hear about Robert Hardy. Over the summer, Fudge used his influence at the Daily Prophet to create a campaign designed to slander and discredit both Albus Dumbledore, who Fudge thought was after his job, and Harry Potter. Harry Potter Wiki is a FANDOM Movies Community. Additionally, even though he already turned against Harry Potter at the time due to his paranoia and refusal to accept Voldemort's return, he was still courteous enough to personally hand Harry his Triwizard winnings but was unable to hold a celebration due to the circumstances of Cedric Diggory's death. Do you know who would want as many security holes in Azkaban as possible? Death Eaters have the group closed in and they’re outnumbered two-to-one. Please ignore rumors and hoaxes. Upon discovering Harry was a Parselmouth, Fudge caved into prejudice, and started to doubt Harry simply because he could speak a language that was usually affiliated with the Dark Arts, making him comparable to Ernest Macmillan and Rita Skeeter. Despite his dislike of Crouch Snr, Fudge apparently required Crouch for translating foreign wizards and creatures who didn't understand English, as he struggled to communicate with the Bulgarian Minister of Magic (who was pretending to not understand English in order to prank Fudge) during the Quidditch World Cup while Crouch was absent. In return he expressed confidence in Dumbledore. Fudge was completely oblivious to Lucius' dark nature. It was highly likely Scrimgeour attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during his youth, where he would have received his magical education. When Fudge requested Dumbledore to persuade Harry Potter to lie for the Ministry's behalf to the wizarding world in a last ditch effort to cling onto his position, Dumbledore refused, seeing no more desire or purpose in helping Cornelius. Dumbledore states that this is grounds for a VERY in-depth investigation. But Fudge couldn't put off the pressure from the Ministry forever. During the summer holiday, Fudge had two tasks to organise, with help from Ludo Bagman and Bartemius Crouch: the final of the Quidditch World Cup, and the Triwizard Tournament. By means of numerous Ministry decrees, Fudge gradually extended her powers while suppressing Dumbledore's and Harry's freedom of expressing their claims. I was dragged as I heard a door open and I was led in. He also never forgot how much Crouch was admired in the Ministry, leaving him so jealous and with a strong dislike of Crouch that his very first act as Minister of Magic was to have Crouch reassigned to the department of International Magical Cooperation. He later insisted on summoning a Dementor to Barty Crouch Jnr's interrogation for his own protection, despite knowing that Barty had been restrained and guarded by Professor McGonagall, and the possibility that the Dementor would attack the prisoner on sight, which did happen, resulting in the destruction of their most critical piece of evidence at that time. Cornelius Oswald Fudgeis the Minister for Magic, which makes him the senior government official of the Wizarding world. Despite winning, the election left Fudge with such a strong dislike of Crouch, so much that, Fudge's first act as Minister of Magic was to have Crouch reassigned to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, using Crouch's falling popularity after Crouch's son's trial to his advantage. However, Fudge’s actions make perfect sense for a Death Eater. This led Fudge to suggest that Harry may have been hallucinating. In return, Fudge granted him many privileges, such as personal access to him, favours in delaying laws and revealing classified information (e.g. [15], At some point early on during his Ministerial career and before 1995,[16] Fudge arrogantly and controversially awarded himself the Order of Merlin, First Class. However, as indicated in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as well as the film version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, you can tell when a person is under this curse. [17] This caused a good deal of muttering among the wizarding community, since the common view was that his career was "less than distinguished", thus subverting the worth of this award (which is given out "for acts of outstanding bravery or distinction"). By Anusha Bhagat. There’s Mrs. Figg and Harry as witnesses, and the Dursleys could be called to testify as well. 1981–1997) was the Minister for Magic from 1990 to 1996. Fudge was present for the execution of the supposedly dangerous Hippogriff named Buckbeak, who was, in fact, innocent and harmless, and only attacked when provoked by Draco Malfoy despite clear warnings from Hagrid. One of Fudge's ultimate goals was to expel Potter from Hogwarts and oust him from the magical community as an untrustworthy troublemaker. In the books, Fudge's removal, a sacking, was revealed in. [9] It remains unknown if he complied with the new regime, was forced to go on the run or killed after Voldemort took over the government. While he was in school he was educated by famed authors C.S. This association may have encouraged Fudge's own belief in the superiority of pure-bloods over those with mixed parentage, as well as "half-breeds" and creatures with "near-human intelligence" which his senior assistant, Umbridge, expressed. Therefore, Bartemius Crouch Senior was favoured to be the next Minister for his effective methods of fighting the Death Eaters, but it was Fudge who finally replaced Bagnold when Crouch lost popularity following his son's trial. Let’s go through Fudge’s various actions in the books, and see how they match this theory. Fudge first met Narcissa Malfoy and Draco there in the top box, which suggests the Malfoys and Fudges did not meet socially prior to that. [9], A headline on the Daily Prophet announces the possibility of Fudge leaving the post, Prior to his dismissal, he made desperate attempts to remain in office, and tried to have Dumbledore arrange a meeting with Harry to persuade him to tell the wizarding world that the Ministry was doing a good job in maintaining order and security (in short, Fudge wanted Harry to lie to the wizarding world, which is ironically what Fudge accused Harry of prior). Scrimgeour joined the Ministry of Magic, and completed a stringent series of character and aptitude tests to join the Auror Office. This made Harry an unreliable witness in Fudge's mind; when Harry started naming the identities of the Death Eaters who returned to Voldemort's side, he could only identify those who had been cleared by the Wizengamot, which Fudge claimed Harry could have looked up in old copies of the Daily Prophet, and took it as a great offence. Born London in the, A very early draft of J. K. Rowling's first. This would reinforce their alliance with the Dementors by providing another soul. Bartemius Crouch Senior, his enemy and political rival. He also sarcastically responded that Harry might have "a twin brother" when Dumbledore attempted to absolve him of forming the DA. This lack of testimony helped Fudge discredit Dumbledore the following year. I cannot say the same Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic. Even so, he turned a blind eye to Lucius Malfoy's own record as a Death Eater because he was cleared in the past (as Lucius lied about being under the Imperius Curse) as well as his vaunted position in Wizarding society and frequent cash donations. He even invited Arthur's son, Percy to become his Junior Assistant in an attempt to spy on the Weasley family and Dumbledore, which led to Percy defecting from his family after a row with Arthur. After the mass breakout of Azkaban in 1996, Fudge continued to refuse to believe Harry and Dumbledore, instead suggesting that Sirius Black was the leader of the breakout, due to the fact that he and Bellatrix Lestrange were cousins, either unaware or neglecting that Sirius had been disowned by his family and the two were mortal enemies. By giving a Dementor an opportunity to kiss Sirius Black, a Death Eater could eliminate an enemy and reinforce an alliance with an ally. Harry also pointed out that Madam Maxime would have had a difficult time hiding, due to her abnormal size, this left Fudge feeling embarrassed. Fudge preferred the peace and tranquillity that came with Voldemort's first downfall that he refused to spoil it as long as there is insufficient evidence of his return. However, Fudge saw Dumbledore's suggestions as ludicrous (fearing he would be forced out of office for even suggesting it). When undeniable evidence of the truth finally came out, the entire community issued a virtually unanimous condemnation of Fudge's tenure, while Fudge made one last (unsuccessful) attempt to lie to them to regain their trust, which would have further endangered them by denying more preparation. Apparently, he did not inform Fudge that Harry Potter was a Parselmouth, and learned of it after Rita Skeeter's article in the Daily Prophet. After seeing Voldemort's return in the Ministry, Fudge was forced to accept it all, as well as reinstate Albus' reputation. As an attempt to wrest control of Hogwarts from Dumbledore, he appointed Dolores Umbridge as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher against the headmaster's will, and empowered her greatly and eventually attempted (in failure) to arrest Dumbledore on a trumped-up charge. Let's just say it — Jindal is misguided. One of England's most successful and enduring character actors, with a prolific screen career on television and in films, Robert Hardy was acclaimed for his versatility and the depth of his performances. First of all, Fudge approved the restart of the Triwizard Tournament. The only known case where Fudge was reluctant to act against his better judgement was the case of Hagrid in spring 1993. Always deliberate, but not necessarily dishonest or immoral. Among the many fan theories about the Harry Potter universe floating around the internet is a compelling one: Cornelius Fudge was a Death Eater, and therefore a supporter of Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore, his perceived rival and enemy, In Fudge's early days as Minister for Magic, he was forever bombarding Albus Dumbledore for help and advice. Under Fudge's ineffective leadership, Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters had an entire year of uninterrupted planning. Percy, during both moments, heartily agreed with Fudge's decisions, and laughed when Fudge made insulting mockeries at Harry and Dumbledore. At two o'clock, Fudge attended Buckbeak's appeal, but the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures did not reverse its decision. Hardy was born Timothy Sydney Robert Hardy in Cheltenham in 1925. Despite his claims that he always strove to figure out what was best for everyone, Fudge was ultimately a delusional and selfish hypocrite, a sycophant who favoured peace and tranquillity for the sake of his own position over a truth that would cause disruption of that peace. Fudge admired Lucius for giving donations of gold to the right causes. It would explain why the Ministry barely reacts to the attack of three people and a cat in what is obviously a serial hate crime. Among the many fan theories about the Harry Potter universe floating around the internet is a compelling one: Cornelius Fudge was a Death Eater, and therefore a supporter of Voldemort. Specifically, he was a deeply undercover agent for Voldemort — so undercover that not even the Order of the Phoenix suspected him. If you have any unfortunate news that this page should be update with, please let us know using this form. (intransitive) To try to avoid giving a direct answer; to waffle or equivocate. He makes his first appearance in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when he arrives at the school to take Hagrid to Azkaban, even though he does not firmly believe that Hagrid is guilty. In 1997, Fudge was one of the many citizens of the wizarding world to attend the funeral of Albus Dumbledore. When they learned Black had escaped again, Fudge returned with Snape and Dumbledore to the hospital wing, where Snape furiously ordered Harry to explain his involvement. Harry Potter character: Cornelius Fudge. This paranoia was kept suppressed, as Fudge continued to respect Dumbledore over the years and accepted his decisions, despite their eccentricity. [30] He also had very little political skills, as he would bombard Dumbledore for advice in his early years,[13] while making very poor choices in the last few years of his tenure. Robert Hardy, known for his role as Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter movies, has died at age 91. Dolores Umbridge was Fudge's right-hand woman, being his Senior-Undersecretary, and he trusted her greatly to place her into Hogwarts to control it. His increasing lack of preventive action affected his popularity with the wizarding world: despite Fudge's efforts of keeping control, several people chose to believe Dumbledore and Harry over him, and by the summer of 1996, he had been forced to resign from office in disgrace and replaced by the more proactive Rufus Scrimgeour. Magical characteristics Fudge even suggested that Olympe Maxime had murdered him due to her being a half-giant, since the incident occurred near the Beauxbatons Carriage that night. Lucius, amongst other falsely-reformed Death Eaters, remained in Fudge's trust, while discreetly manipulating him to assist their master and their own benefits. Following this, Fudge resigned as Minister in disgrace because he refused to take the steps Dumbledore offered him. Fudge was described as a "portly little man", with rumpled grey hair. Boggart He was rather tactless, as he was making crude body gestures to communicate with the Bulgarian Minister for Magic and revolted aloud the moment he saw Marietta Edgecombe's disfigured face, having little sensitivity to the girl's feelings. Lord Voldemort[6] In the end, the Minister proved as good as his word. This included temporarily pardoning Willy Widdershins for his crime in enchanting regurgitating toilets because he made a deal with the Ministry for his release due to providing testimony against Harry for forming Dumbledore's Army, showing that he was even willing to make deals with criminals if it meant discrediting those who opposed him. Albus Dumbledore was the top candidate to succeed Millicent Bagnold as the next Minister for Magic, as many people requested him to accept the position, but he refused multiple times. [9], In Fudge's early days as Minister, it was said that he was not very self-confident, and constantly sent letters to Albus Dumbledore, asking for advice. The other flaw is why doesn’t Fudge do anything all the other times Hogwarts has been a massive deathtrap? However, he seems to be limited with certain areas of magic, as he could not remove Hermione's "SNEAK" jinx off of Marietta Edgecombe's face. “So, who wants to read?” McGonagall asked as she looked around the room, Lucinda raised her hand,”I’ll read the chapter Professor.” Lucinda said taking the book, “Chapter 14: Cornelius Fudge.” right after she read the title there was a collective groan around the room. Along with the Bulgarian Minister, Fudge then shook hands with the two teams.[24]. A stunned Fudge thought about the strange encounter for a while and then called a press conference to warn Muggles about a "little man with red eyes" and urged them to "be careful not to tell this little man where anyone lived". [12], Convinced Black would be caught quickly, Fudge alerted the Muggle Prime Minister of the situation,[9] and asked that the Muggles keep an eye out for Black, as well; the Ministry set up a special hot line for the Muggles to call with any information. Buckbeak's death had been enforced by the influence of Draco's father Lucius. Family members Also, when students were ordered into a forest that was known to have someone killing unicorns, flesh-eating spiders the size of a truck, and other dangerous things, Fudge did nothing. While the Order and Harry considered the possibility of Fudge being under the Imperius Curse, Dumbledore believed otherwise, which was of little comfort. Despite the fact there is hard evidence that Voldemort is back in action (I would have thought the mass breakout from Azkaban would have changed his tune), he absolutely refuses to do anything about it. Fudge with Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, after Harry returned from the Little Hangleton graveyard, When Harry exited the Triwizard maze holding Cedric Diggory's dead body, Fudge informed the crowd and then tried to get Harry to release him. The Death Eaters run several mass breakouts over the course of the books, and they would want the prison to have as many holes as possible for their advantage. First, it’s obvious that Hagrid wasn’t responsible, as the spider he raised can’t even petrify people which is what was going on. He provided a warning that the decision Fudge made here and now, would affect how he was remembered in the future: If Fudge took the necessary measures, he would be hailed as a hero throughout the ages, whether he remained in office or not. Fudge has a Dementor kill a critical witness. However, as Fudge's antagonism continued, Harry lost faith in the Minister, and began to feel more disgusted at Fudge's increasingly tyrannical hold; Harry only felt more angry when Fudge chose to blame the Azkaban mass breakout on Sirius instead of accepting that Voldemort had returned. His fear and self-denial led him to campaign to discredit those who tried to say Voldemort is back, instead of making preparations of ensuring their victory and safety in the upcoming war. Over the years, though, Fudge became paranoid that Dumbledore was seeking the Minister position for himself, despite Dumbledore clearly showing lack of interest in the position, rejecting it at least three times. Soon afterwards, Fudge's Senior Undersecretary, Dolores Umbridge, was installed at Hogwarts as the school's new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. Fudge would later comment sadly that he had never known the wizard community to be so united on any other issue during his administration. After Harry survived Voldemort's rebirth and reported to him that Lucius was one of the Death Eaters who came to the re-gathering after receiving the Dark Mark invitation, Fudge took this as a great personal offence, and absolutely refused to believe it, continuing to treat Lucius with great respect and meeting him at the Ministry. Dumbledore, however, insisted that the situation was still salvageable if they took the necessary precautions; they needed to remove Azkaban from the control of the Dementors and send peace envoys to the giants. Before leaving the school, Fudge was courteous enough to hand Harry his winnings for the Tournament, though he cancelled the award ceremony due to the circumstances. It is unclear whether Fudge knew the extent of Umbridge's sadistic and dark nature, but Umbridge was loyal to Fudge only because of the power he was offering her, and felt no true attachments to the misguided man. Fudge’s actions make no sense for the Minister of Magic. Yet, we never hear of any investigation of it. After Cedric Diggory's death in the Tournament and Harry claiming Voldemort had returned, Fudge refused to believe it, because it would mean the end of the peace he and the Ministry had worked so hard to maintain for the last thirteen years. Cornelius Fudge Cornelius Oswald Fudge is first mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the Minister for Magic of the United Kingdom. By ignoring the professor, however, Fudge had metaphorically shot himself in the foot. [9] Given this universal disapproval, he was likely memorialised, like Dumbledore warned, as one of the least effective Ministers in British history. (Lucius was cleared in 1981 of serving Lord Voldemort, claiming to have been under the Imperius Curse, which Fudge believed absolutely.) It would also explain why no further investigation happens after Ginny is rescued. Fudge's dislike of Crouch was strong to the point where he refused to take Crouch seriously when Crouch vanished after trying to warn Dumbledore about his son and Voldemort despite being in a delusional state, Fudge simply dismissed his warnings as the ramblings of a lunatic, and refused to believe the real reason he was gone until he was forced to acknowledge Voldemort's return the following year. Because of this, Fudge transformed Harry's disciplinary hearing of underage magic used to defend against Dementors into a heavily biased full-court trial, made the Daily Prophet print slander stories against him as though he was something of a slip-in joke, and granted Umbridge many new privileges to extensively punish and torment the boy. Fudge then bid Harry goodbye, and he left the room. Similarly, according to Luna Lovegood, daughter of the editor of The Quibbler, Cornelius has a private army of Heliopaths, spirits of fire whose existence was doubted by almost everyone else. Although his behaviour between 1995 and 1996 made him appear to be such, Fudge was not a totally unreasonable man and was more rational than Umbridge or Voldemort by nature, as he simply buried himself in his own self-denial, love of office, delusions and paranoia.
