Amelia Susan Bones is a British witch and the celebrated Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, holding a seat on the Wizengamot. Serious, fair-minded and respected as a skilled duellist, she presided impartially over Harry Potter's 1995 disciplinary hearing and voted to clear him.
Much of the Bones family perished at the hands of Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and Amelia herself was murdered in 1996, reportedly by Lord Voldemort after a fierce fight. Within the film adaptations she appears in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
