Its safe to say there are a lot of questions about the Hogwarts curriculum.
The students dont seem to really spend time on anything mundane, which makes sense.
Magic does seem pretty complicated in itself.
Of course, in the books, the trio doesnt seem to actually spend that much time in classes.
First Year
In their first year, students dont have any choices regarding what to take.
In Charms class, students learn how to cast, well, charms.
These spells focus on changing what someone or something does, and the class is taught by Professor Flitwick.
In contrast to charms, Transfiguration class focuses on changing what something or someone is rather than does.
At Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall teaches the class.
A few examples of what students learn in their first year are the Avifors Spell.
Then there’s Astronomy.
In Herbology, students learn about magical and mundane plants, their care, and magical properties.
While the trio attended Hogwarts, Professor Sprout taught the class.
A few plants that first-years learn about in the class are the infamous Mandrake and Devils Snare.
Finally, there’s flying.
This class is only mandatory for first-years at Hogwarts.
It teaches young witches and wizards the proper handling of a broom and the basics of flying.
Madam Hooch, who also referees the school Quidditch matches, teaches the class.
Second Year
During students second year at Hogwarts, their schedule of classes remains largely the same.
The first of the electives was Arithmancy.There’s something about the magical property of numbers.
Apparently, there are a lot of charts to memorize, which sounds pretty terrible.
In short, this class sounds amazing.
Next is Ancient Runes.
This class involves studying old runes used by witches and wizards hundreds of years ago.
Alongside this is Divinitaion which as Professor McGonagall describes it is one of the most imprecise branches of magic.
It involves predicting the future, so thats understandable.
Finally, there is Muggle Studies.
The class teaches students about the Muggle world and how to blend in, which seems pretty important.
Fourth Year
Does Harry even go to class in his fourth year?
Who knows.He was busy dodging dragons and swimming with merpeople.
requirements prepares students for their O.W.L.
As long as students meet that requirement, they can elect to continue with the subject.
As a bonus, students are also able to take classes in Apparition for a fee of 12 Galleons.
Seventh Year
InDeathly Hallows, the final year at Hogwarts was more than a little screwed up.
It’s hard to get a clear picture of the curriculum when the protagonists don’t attend.
Also, Death Eaters ran the school at the time.
At the end of the year, students can elect to take the N.E.W.T.
exam in the subjects they studied, but it’s not required.
Some occupations are fine with just a passing O.W.L.
According to an interview withJ.K.
The boys did not, to no one’s surprise.
