Dealing with criminal and justice mostly, this department houses an open area of cubicles known as the Auror Headquarters, a small and crowded office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts team, and an office for the Wizengamot Administration Services.

A department to fix all the little mishaps inexperienced (and sometimes experienced) wizards can causes. Divisons include the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, the Obliviator Headquarters, and the Muggle-Worthy Excuse Committee.

As the name suggests, these offices regulate and control magical creatures as well as the wizards who own or work with them. The divisions of theis department are the Beast, Being, and Spirit Divisions, the Goblin Liaison Office, and the Pest Advisory Board.

Essentially the headquarters for the British wizarding world Ambassadors. The divisions include International Confederation of Wizards (British Seats), International Magical Office of Law, International Magical Trading Standards Body.

Home of the Apparition Test Center, Broom Regulatory Control, Floo Network Authority, and the Portkey Office. This department is instrumental come World Cup time as they provide safe ways for spectators to reach the World Cup Stadium and camping areas without revealing themselves to prying muggle eyes.

Down a messy corridor lined with various Quidditch posters are the offices of Magical Games and Sports staff. Here one can also find the areas for the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, the Official Gobstones Club, and the Ludicrous Patents Office.

This is the first floor of the Ministry which one comes to. Gilded fireplaces line both walls in one direction, one side for arrivals and the other for departures. There's a stand at the opposite end with security where everyone must check in and have their wands registered. Through the large golden gates behind the security stand is a length of lifts to take Ministry staff and visitors to other levels.

There is only one door on Level Nine and this door leads to the Department of Mysteries, a strange and ominous area of the Ministry. Beyond the first door on Level Nine lies a black door and beyond that a circular room with many doors which revolve once the black door has closed, thus making it impossible to know which door is which. They lead to various sub-departments in which the Unspeakables of the Department of Mysteries experiment and research the world's greatest mysteries and forces. Some of the sub-departments include - the Hall of Prophecy, the Brain Room, the Death Chamber, the Locked Room, the Plant Room, and the Time Room. No one is allowed in the Department of Mysteries without proper clearance, it is a very dangerous place.
