    Gawain Robards

    "And of course, while you were there, you would have ample opportunity to speak to Gawain Robards, my successor as Head of the Auror office."
    — Rufus Scrimgeour mentioning Robards whilst trying to convince Harry Potter to join the British Ministry of Magic[src]

    Gawain Robards was a Britishwizard who worked as an Auror for the British Auror Office under the command of Rufus Scrimgeour during the Second Wizarding War.[1]

    Biography[]

    Second Wizarding War[]

    Following Cornelius Fudge's fall from power in 1996, Rufus Scrimgeour replaced him as Minister for Magic, and as such Robards was promoted and succeeded Scrimgeour as Head of the Auror Office and commanded the Dark Wizard catchers in the Ministry's employ throughout the reminder of their losing battle against Lord Voldemort and his followers; a direct result of the governing body's prior denial about the return of The Dark Lord. Scrimgeour, during his attempts to convince Harry Potter to become the Ministry of Magic's new "poster boy", offered to set up an interview with Robards, knowing he cherished a desire to join the Auror department one day, in exchange for his cooperation, but Harry refused.[1]
