here confusing, seems like doesn't have which wizards think it's immoral , in the muggle world love potion sure will be seen as a major problem , it will remove human abilities like Imperius ( a spell considered unforgivable), the consequences are quite serious. but magic world doesn't seem to have any other regulations for these things.
How was the Minister of Magic chosen?
There are three Ministers of Magic in the entire series:Connelly Fudge,Rufus Scrimgeour and Asylum Sinkness. It is unclear how they became ministers and there is no sign of any election, let alone who is eligible to vote and how.
Rufus Scrimgeour and Asylum Synknis were promoted during the war (Sinkness was Voldemort's puppet) and they may have just been appointed urgently. However, it was also pointed out that Dumbledore was once invited to this position, which means that such an elected may not exist in the wizarding world at all.

but doesn't seem to make any sense, there are many instances of Harry doing magic outside of school or around him, like in the cemetery in Goblet of Fire, when he was rescued by Order of the Phoenix , the Ministry of Magic It seems that are not aware of , they are unlikely to miss any chance will accuse Harry .

9zz8
9z, muggle-born , and everyone who grew up in muggle family like Harry , lived under wizard law , including secrecy ".

Witness played a very important role in Muggle criminal trials. The wizarding world is no exception, Arabella Feige testified in " Order of the Phoenix" witnessed the existence of Dementors helped Harry get his freedom.
But why does Wizengamore only rely on witness testimony? Meditation pots can be used to visualize someone's memories, while Veritaserum will force eaters to tell the truth.

Be aware that harry is not the only one who suffered this treatment young Tom Riddle and Severus Snape also abandoned in an unpleasant environment , If the Ministry of Magic paid more attention to the well-being of their young people, maybe there would not be so many dark wizards .
the wizard are all upright ?
although the wizarding world9z Most of the time, is very heartwarming, but some elements of also make very dark.
