Minister Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy)

Character Analysis

Scrimgeour is the Minister of Magic when the film opens, but he doesn't last long. He gets some screen time when he arrives to read Dumbledore's will and give the kids their bequests, but that's about it.

He dies when the Ministry of Magic falls to the Death Eaters, which coincides with Bill and Fleur's wedding.
