I try to keep up with Harry Potter material both at the Law and Humanities Blog (look under the index term "Harry Potter") and at the Law and Magic Blog (also under the term "Harry Potter"). The August 23 issue of Legal Times also had an article by Andrew Fois called "Due Process for All Wizards": here's the lead. "Harry Potter's story shows our world — especially our children — what can happen when government power goes unchecked by law."

Think about Delores Umbridge, a Ministry official, who (as the movie clearly showed) was quite happy to break internal agency rules and resort to the Crucio! curse when it suited her purpose of exactracting information. Perhaps the muggle-based Adminsitrative Procedures Act might have a Ministry counterpart so that Umbridge would have been guilty of regulatory conduct that was (in the words of Jim Chen) ACAD - arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion.
