If Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell can do it in offices representative of their respective countries, then by goodness, the Potter franchise can do it too. The Offices of the Ministry Of Magic had a brief 'cameo' in the opening half of Deathly Hallows after the interludes we had in them during Phoenix, yet once again they beg further exploration in much the same way as ABC clearly think the S.H.I.E.L.D base does next year. Who knows what really goes on in those infinite number of private rooms, trial quarters and desk-based corridors? I'm thinking of a cross between the hit comedy, the political successes of The West Wing and perhaps House Of Lies' economic mo-jo into one hilarious drama-comedy. It's an ambitious ask, yes, but if it worked, we'd be in stitches one minute at an office prank, on the edge of our seats in a court case the next and finally scratching our heads in confusion after a lesson on the Ministry's budget cuts from Bill Nighy's Minister Of Magic portrait. Or his ghost. Or his Chocolate Frog holographic card. Heck, however we can toss Nighy back into the Potterverse after his cruelly minute cameo in Hallows Part Two, I'll believe just about anything.
