The Department of Magical Games and Sports is a department of the Ministry of Magic. It is charged with the regulation of all sports-related events in the Wizarding World. This department was formed in response to the signing of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in 1692, when each individual Ministry became responsible for the consequences of all magical sports played within their countries. The current affairs of the department have to do with such sports-related pastimes as organising the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament.
