Jeremy Hunt - Potions
Michael Gove - Defence against the dark arts
Nick Clegg - Muggle studies
— TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) July 14, 2014Michael Gove is highly qualified to be chief whip, as he owns an Indiana Jones DVD and once saw a lion tamer at the circus. #reshuffle
— Dean Burnett (@garwboy) July 15, 2014Ridiculous that Michael Gove has been moved from Education Secretary to Most Influential Artist in Black and Urban Music.

— John O'Farrell (@mrjohnofarrell) July 15, 2014Michael Gove. You either loathe him or you hate him.
— Nick Harvey (@mrnickharvey) July 15, 2014So Michael Gove is now the British equivalent of Frank Underwood? Well that's House of Cards ruined.
