minister for magic and support staff
The Minister for Magic is the highest position in the Ministry of Magic, and seems to be reflect the powers of the Muggle British Prime Minister, who is given notice by the Minister himself on emergencies that happen in Britain. It is unknown what that exact powers of the minister are, but they can at sometimes act as an authoritarian ruler. In the books the minister is shown to be elected to the post by the peoples' choice. In times of crisis the minister is generally chosen from the position of Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, as shown for Rufus Scrimgeour and his successor Pius Thicknesse during the Second Wizarding War.

department of magical games and sports
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.
