Even from Harry's point of view, we very rarely get to see what the schoolwork is actually like. The only classes we actually see them work in are Potions, Divination, Herbology, and Care of Magical Creatures, with the occasional description of some special classes in Defense against the Dark Arts or Charms (and even then it's mostly when they're talking while doing practice). Herbology basically amounts to wrangling plants while talking about something else. Transfiguration is often mentioned as a major subject that Harry takes every year at Hogwarts (and with plenty of homework), yet we're never told a word about how it's actually done. We get to see an Astronomy exam but never any of the classes. Flying class is seen once in the first book, then never again. For a series of books set in a magical school, mentions of the actual curriculum are surprisingly scarce.

Well considering the time period, they would have considered Pluto a planet if they were keeping in touch with the muggle side of astronomy. Though there is the possibility that they had significantly surpassed our ability in that area. Consider it takes weeks if not months to make the reflector mirrors for our large telescopes. A wizard given access to materials could hammer out a flawless reflector in just a few spells. Or heck they wouldn't even need a large reflector in the first place, they could use a spell to make a regular telescope have an effective light collector any size they want as well as still the atmosphere for a crystal clear image! Then there's space travel! By apparating you could go to the Luna, Mars, Pluto even! I don't think there is a limit on how far you can travel. So long as you've seen the place and can picture it in your mind you can go there! SO MANY POSSIBLE ADVANCEMENTS!

I don’t know why but I’d really like to learn divination. It may not be accurate but it would still be fascinating how people predict the future. It’s quite like theology in muggle schools

Charms, Transfiguration and Alchemy would be my favorites as I’ve always loved the idea of creating magic items. 😀

The only other explanation I can find is that magical folk are born with the math and language literacy of an adult. Because if they were homeschooled, where did their parents (and their parents, etc) learn it? Given the International Statue of Secrecy and the blood purity thing, it's highly unlikely that the average magical family would send their kids to muggle elementary before they turned 11. But honestly this explanation is so ridiculous that it makes me cringe to think about it. This is a huge world-building flaw that I think needs to be addressed, particularly for a series which takes place in a school.

Realistically you don't need a stand alone subject for that thought. Every subject seems to require written assignments and textbook readings, therefore they could develop their reading/writing skills through their classes. Maths on the other hand....

I wish Hogwarts also taught Wandlore, perhaps a prerequisite subject that could tailor to those who're interested in wandmaking into learning the fundamentals of creating wands and prepare them for apprenticeships with various wandmakers. I'd certainly love to study this subject if it was offered, though I could imagine it being one of the more competitive classes due to the nature of the wandmaking business.

I image learning wand making would be like an apprenticeship that one would learn after graduating from Hogwarts. Since olivanders family had been doing it for generations, maybe only some people where from certain families would be given the apprenticeship. Thought if it was a class I would really want to take it. I've spend hours reading the wandlore on pottermore.

Out of all classes, runes and ancient magic sound like the ones I’d enjoy not the most but enough to actually pay attention

@elephant35e If that’s really why, I’m surprised there isn’t a class on swordplay included because multiple students wielded a sword in the movies.

I've always been a fan of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, and Ghoul Studies. Even one of my own original characters is a professor of the Care of Magical Creatures.

Would be interesting to see what years each of these subjects were taught in

I’d choose Care for Magical Creatures, Magical Theory, and Alchemy. If I had to choose a fourth, I’d pick Defense Against the Dark Arts, too.

6:19: Apparation, not apparition. An apparition is like seeing ghosts.

It’s weird there were not more specialized electives like cooking, beautician, spell writing, performance magic, battle magic, Alchemy was taught at Hogwarts, it’s odd that some of the more fascinating subjects were not showcased in the series

my fav subjects/ subjects that i wanna learn: potions, transfiguration, DADA, charms, herbology, care of magical creatures and arithmancy

y'all forget that flitwick had a damn choir in tow. like you see the choir in both the 4th and 5th films.

Divination is also taught by Firenze the centaur

I mean i'm not even an school enthusiast like Hermione but i can totally understand why she wanted to take all the elective subjects when she finished her 2nd year. Everything sounds so interesting, specially for a muggleborn like Hermione.

Study of ancient runes, alchemy, ancient studies, and magical theory sound interesting

I think there was some musical activities they added in the movies, like the choir, but I like to think that is also a subject but can done magically in it's own right. Including making spells to make instruments play a song, or enchanting instruments and other fun things like that

I would take these harry potter subjecteds , 1. Astonmany 2. Charms 3. Defence of the dark arts 4 Herbology 5. History of magic 6. Potions 7. Transfiguration 8. Care of magical creatures 9. Divartion 10. Muggle studies 11. Approption 12. Art

I'd choose potions, ghoul studies and charms.

DADA didn't always have a high turnover- that only started when Voldemort cursed the job because Dumbledore wouldn't give it to him. This was around the last 60s. So the job was cursed for about 40 years or so.

I like the way you differentiate between core subjects electives subjects

Don’t they have music classes? In the third film a choir were singing a song along with toads and the choir was also seen in the fifth film.

That was a nice cursory glance at the subjects. Next up hopefully: An in-depth view on each.

@@Liana211 There is no proof to a lot of these subjects. In fact, it is indeed canon that there are only 12 subjects: Quoting from Wizardingworld/Pottermore (which is canon as JK Rowling herself wrote it): All first-years at Hogwarts must take seven subjects: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology. Flying lessons (on broomsticks) are also compulsory. At the end of their second year at Hogwarts, students are required to choose a minimum of two more subjects from the following list: Arithmancy, Muggle Studies, Divination, Study of Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures.

Last time I checked there was not Dark Arts but Neville did say that it was LIKE it turned into Dark Arts but it was still Defense against the Dark Arts because they only taught Dark Arts and not how to defend them self’s against it.

Am I the only one who didn't see Occlumency in the list when it was revealed as a class in “Order of the Phoenix, Careers Advice”?

I didn't know there was more classes interesting.

it’s funny how Divination is also considered pseudoscience for the wizarding world i guess pseudomagic. But also hella ironic since Professor Trelawney has made accurate predictions & straight up made the prophecy of Harry & Voldermort.

Magical Theory sounds so interesting. I want to know where the spells originated from.

There is one other class given at Hogwarts: Occlumency with Professor Snape. I know it was really just a private lesson for Harry to block out Voldemort, but I think it should still count.

I don't think you can really count Dark Arts, since it was only taught for one year, while Voldemort controlled the country. Alchemy was never taught at Hogwarts, as far as I'm aware. Nicolas Flamel was French, so you can assume he learned it at Beauxbatons, or more likely taught himself. Ancient Studies is never mentioned in canon as far as I know. Apparition is something else you can't really count. Twycross was a Ministry instructor, leading a seminar for students over 17. It wasn't a class, nor an elective. Art was also never taught. It was only ever even mentioned as a concept when they talked about bonkers magical portraits. Ghoul studies is something else I feel like you've just made up. Magical Studies should have been taught, but it wasn't. Xylomancy seems more like an easter egg than an actual lesson. And definitely something that falls the remit of Divination class. Where did you get half of these ideas?
