Best Answer

In the Harry Potter books, Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster and Minerva McGongall was the deputy headmistress.

Twice during the series, McGongall became acting headmistress, once in the 1992-1993 school year when Dumbledore was removed by the Board of Governors and once in the 1996-19997 school year after his death.

In the 1997-1998 Severus Snape was appointed as the headmaster.

It is not known who filled the position after that, although J.K Rowling has stated that it was not McGongall.
