By Order of the Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse, and in order to ensure the public peace, a 10 o'clock evening curfew is heretofore instituted for all muggleborn witches and wizards of legal age residing in Great Britain. This curfew is to be effective and enforced beginning 3 November, 1997 and will continue until the present threat to the safety of muggleborn witches and wizards is contained.
