With the new ministers in place, there have been plenty of chit chatter going around about who these individuals are and whether or not they can get the job done. Do you believe in them?
Some have gone on to compare them to previous ministers while one netizen had taken on a more creative approach and compared them to none other than our favourite, well-known Harry Potter characters. And as Harry Potter fans ourselves we cannot express how much we love this.
So, here’s a compilation of some of our new (and old) ministers who are practically Harry Potter characters IRL, as told by Twitter user Mohammad Aidil:
1. Tun Mahathir is Albus Dumbledore

Just when you thought Tun M couldn’t be any cooler.
2. Wan Azizah is Minerva McGonagall

We agree with that description 100 per cent.
3. Anwar is Sirius Black

Thank goodness DSAI received a different (and happier) ending.
4. Nurul Izzah is Nymphadora Tonks

Nurul Izzah is the epitome of #girlpower.
5. Mat Sabu is Hagrid

What’s more, they’re both pretty lovable too!

Despite his age, Lim Kit Siang is still one of the most respected men in politics. #dontmess

Rambut pun sama.
Mohammad Aidil’s Twitter post even went on to liken Rosmah’s bomoh to Voldemort.

14. Khairy Jamaluddin is Peter Pettigrew

Sure.

Tsk tsk.
16. Shahrizat is Narcissa Malfoy

17. Saifuddin Abdullah and Muhyiddin Yasin are Remus Lupin and Kingsley Shacklebolt

Hooray for happy endings!

19. Fathiya is Luna Lovegood

So accurate, I cannot even.
This list certainly gave us a new perspective on our new (and previous) Ministers! And you probably can’t look at Harry Potter the same way ever again either.
