Early Life and Education
John Fudge was raised in Spring Lake, New Jersey and credits his parents and Boy Scouts with instilling the morals and character that are necessary to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Now an entrepreneur and Vice President of USA Funding Inc. in Howell, John holds many titles such as business owner, investor, and philanthropist.
Minister for Magic, he served as a key intermediary between the Wizarding world and Muggle Prime Minister. When major crises in the wizarding realm threatened Muggles, he would often travel to Hogwarts for advice and representation.
He often took the approach of reacting to issues rather than creating solutions, which is a common trait among politicians and bureaucrats. Unfortunately, Fudge’s indecisiveness made him incapable of making sound decisions in his role as Minister. Furthermore, his misjudgments were numerous–such as when he placed Dementors at Hogwarts in an effort to recapture Sirius Black.
