Archer Evermonde

Archer Evermonde (1540 - 1612) was a wizard who served as the Minister for Magic from 1550 until his death in 1612. His most significant and lasting contribution to the wizarding world was the establishment of the Ban on Experimental Breeding in 1560, a landmark piece of legislation designed to control the creation of new and potentially dangerous magical creatures.

In response, Evermonde pioneered and successfully passed the Ban on Experimental Breeding in 1560. This legislation made it illegal to create new magical species through magical means, a law that has remained in effect for centuries. His long and impactful term as Minister ended with his death in 1612. (Pottermore)
