The trouble is, the other side can do magic too, Prime Minister." Was that meant to be horribly profound? Because it wasn't, really.
I dunno, it kind of sums up the dominant mindset in the books. The trouble for the good guys is that their opponents aren't hopelessly outmatched and helpless. WOE! Cause Gryffindors (which as the 'warriors' pretty much represent the whole WW) have honour and all, but it's pretty convenient that most of the people they get into fights with are outnumbered.
You have to feel sorry for the PM.
I felt sorry for Fudge, too. ...I'll get my coat.
And he's just another politician put there to illustrate how the ministry uses Harry.
But then we wouldn't get the ever-so-eyeroll-worthy scenes of Harry showing off his sexy scars and being all Punk Rawk anti-authority (except not, cause he's Dumbledore's Man and all.) Where would we be without cheese in the HP books, huh? Answer me that!
