We’ve been talking about the Fudges and Scrimgeours and Umbridges of our world, but there is another character who is worthy of our attention in this campaign: the man who, while professing to hate the Dark Arts with all his heart, used the fear and panic they caused to further his grasp at power. I speak, of course, of Bartemius Crouch Sr., the man who fought the Dark Arts with dark weapons and finally sacrificed his own family in his search for power.
