Adults are the bulk of the Wizarding community and thus have to follow a strict set of laws set out by The Ministry of Magic. Of course these can be broken but you may find yourself on a one way trip to Azkaban depending on the severity.

• All adults must follow the laws as set out by the Ministry of Magic
• Statute of Secrecy must be upheld at all given times
• Use of the unforgivable may result in a life sentence to Azkaban
• Murder, theft and violence against a Muggle and/or Magical persons is strictly forbidden
