43、尤里克·甘普

　　尤里克·甘普（Ulick Gamp），第一任魔法部长，任期1707-1718年。
　　生卒年不详，血统不详
　　作为威森加摩的前领袖，甘普的任务繁重，他要管理一个因正在适应《国际保密法》而狂躁受惊的巫师社会。他最大最大成就是创立了魔法法律执行司（the Department of Magical Law Enforcement）。
　　在甘普的任期，阿瓦达死咒、夺魂咒和钻心咒被宣布违法并被称为“不可饶恕咒”。
　　他的画像被挂在唐宁街10号的麻瓜首相办公室，很有可能用了永久粘贴咒，因为麻瓜首相永远不能把这幅画像摘下来。他的画像是麻瓜和魔法部领导人沟通的媒介。

　　介绍魔法部长之前，先提一下PotterMore中关于魔法部的描写，翻译来自贴子《【翻译】Ministers for Magic历任魔法部部长》：
魔法部是在1707年正式成立的，任命尤里克·甘普为第一任魔法部部长。魔法部部长是通过民主选举产生的，尽管历史上已有数次因情况紧急而不经投票直接将这职位提供给某人（阿不思·邓布利多曾多次被提议直接接任，但他一再回绝）。魔法部长无固定的任期，但其有义务定期举行选举，且各次间隔不得长于七年。魔法部长常常会比麻瓜部长们在位更长的时间。总地说来，尽管有很多抱怨，在某种程度上整个巫师社会还是挺支持魔法部的——这在麻瓜社会十分罕见。这也许是由于巫师们普遍抱有的一种看法：如果他们看起来没把自己管理得很好，麻瓜就会尝试介入。
麻瓜首相无权干涉魔法部部长的任命，这只是巫师社会自己的事务。不列颠所有与魔法社会有关的事务仅由魔法部部长管理，他对整个魔法部有唯一的管辖权。魔法部部长与麻瓜首相的紧急会面均由挂在唐宁街10号麻瓜首相书房墙上的尤里克·甘普（首任魔法部长）的肖像宣布。
没有麻瓜首相曾跨入魔法部一步，其原因被前首相都格·迈克菲尔 [Dugald McPhail]（1858年至1865年在位）最简明扼要地概括为：“他们那不咋样的脑子对付不了这些。”
英文原文：
The Ministry of Magic was formally established in 1707 with the appointment of thevery first man to hold the title ‘Minister for Magic’, Ulick Gamp.* The Minister for Magic is democratically elected,although there have been times of crisis in which the post has simply been offered to an individual without a public vote(Albus Dumbledore was made such an offer, and turned it down repeatedly). There is no fixed limit to a Minister’s term ofoffice, but he or she is obliged to hold regular elections at a maximuminterval of seven years. Ministers for Magic tend to last much longer than Muggle ministers. Generally speaking, and despite many a moan and grumble,their community is behind them in a way that is rarely seen in the Muggleworld. This is perhaps due to a feeling, on the part of wizards, that unless they are seen to manage themselves competently, the Muggles might try to interfere.
The Muggle Prime Minister has no part in appointing the Minister for Magic, whose electionis a matter only for the magical community themselves. All matters relating tothe magical community in Britain are managed solely by the Minister for Magic,and he has sole jurisdiction over his Ministry. Emergency visits to the MugglePrime Minister by the Minister for Magic are announced by a portrait of UlickGamp (first Minister for Magic) that hangs in the Muggle Prime Minister’s study in number 10 Downing Street.
No Muggle Prime Minister has ever set foot in the Ministry of Magic, for reasons most succinctly summed up by ex-Minister Dugald McPhail (term of office 1858-1865): ‘their puir wee braines could not cope with it.’
