Ignatius Tuft:
The now Minister of magic is highly allergic to a variety of nuts and animated candies. for example: chocolate frogs.

Ministry Memos:
In the early 1930s, the Ministry of Magic decided that they would no longer use owls as a means of communication within the Ministry. This was due to the amount of owl droppings left on desks and in corridors. By 1937 they had completely transitioned to paper planes.

Hogwarts in WW2 :
During the years of World War Two, the students of Hogwarts were transported to and from Hogsmeade station by train as usual. Since the locomotive was protected by enchantments, as was the platform, it was not necessary for students to find another way to the school.

However, Muggle-born children were more susceptible to anxiety at this time than their half-blood or pureblood companions, and were often found seeking potions from the Hospital Wing. This was due to the lack of information being given to them about the war and the uneasiness of having unprotected family members. Muggle news was only received in the form of owl from a loved one (letter or news clippings).

The Ministry of Magic at this time did not offer additional aid to muggle-born families besides pamphlets which were distributed to households with of age witches or wizards. The lack of Ministry support in this time made the war harder on those that were not capable of keeping their families safe.

Patronus Messengers :
At some point in his life, Albus Dumbledore discovered that patronus charms could be used as quick means of communication. For some time this was used exclusively by Dumbledore and close friends, but during the war on Grindelwald, it was shared with the Head of the Auror Department who then passed the knowledge onto Augustus Potter.

Privy to those currently aurors, August and his team are known to use patronus charms as messengers during times of great chaos or emergency, when getting a orders to another set of people is near impossible. However, due to the amount of magic it takes to project and then maintain the messages, the patronus is weakened and does not often retain a corporeal shape.

For the time being this method is only known to Dumbledore and a select few DMLE employees. It will eventually be known to the Order.
