During fifth year students had an appointment with their head of house to discuss which job they would like to go into, the teacher would recommend any specific subjects for N. The teacher might recommend subjects based on the student's current grades if the student was unsure of what job they would like. These students made provisional choices for N. L grades or the demand.
During sixth year, students advanced to N. Course work during this year was much more advanced than it had been previously. The majority of students' time was spent studying and trying to cope with the vast amounts of homework they were being given. The seventh year was the final year of magical education and at the end of the year, students took the exam for their N. Very specialised subjects such as Alchemy were offered in the final two years, but would only be provided if there was sufficient demand.
There might be a N. Certain subjects might be abolished for certain reasons. Albus Dumbledore was originally planning to scrapping Divination altogether due to its inaccuracy to most, but he kept the subject as a pretence to protect Sybill Trelawney from the Death Eaters. Astronomy was the only field of study at Hogwarts that had a direct equivalent in the Muggle world.
Astronomy classes took place in the Astronomy Tower , the tallest tower in Hogwarts, and were taught by Professor Aurora Sinistra.
Lessons involved observations of the night skies with telescopes. Lessons were held every week at midnight, and first years had lessons on Wednesday.
Known student homework activities included learning the names of stars, constellations and planets, and their location, movements, and environments. Charms were a type of spells concerned with giving an object new and unexpected properties, and hence this class mainly consisted of learning those sorts of spells. Charms classes were described as notoriously noisy and chaotic, as the lessons were largely practical.
Dark Arts only became a subject and mandatory for all students during the — school year , when it was taught by Amycus Carrow. Defence Against the Dark Arts, commonly shortened to D. The subject had an extraordinarily high turnover of staff members — throughout Harry Potter 's time at Hogwarts, no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher has remained at Hogwarts for more than one school year.
No one's lasted long for a while now. Snape was finally appointed D. Harry Potter would occasionally come to the class to give lectures on the subject. Herbology was the study of magical plants and how to take care of, utilise and combat them. There were at least three greenhouses , holding a variety of magical plants of varying degrees of lethality. History of Magic was the study of magical history, which was taught by Professor Cuthbert Binns. His lessons were depicted as some of the most boring at Hogwarts.
They were only lectures, given without pause, about significant events in wizarding history. Topics had included Goblin Rebellions , Giant wars , and the origins of wizarding secrecy. This was the only class at Hogwarts that was taught by a ghost , as the professor never noticed he had died and simply continued teaching as if nothing had changed. Potions was described as the art of creating mixtures with magical effects.
It required the correct mixing and stirring of ingredients at the right times and temperatures. Snape's lessons were depicted as unhappy, oppressing times set in a gloomy dungeon in the basement of the castle, [4] whilst Horace Slughorn 's, who replaced Severus Snape as Potions Master , was shown as more cheerful and even fun at times. Transfiguration was the art of changing the form or appearance of an object, and hence this was what this class taught.
Transfiguration was a theory-based subject, including topics such as " Switching Spells " altering only a part of some object, such as giving a human rabbit's ears ; Vanishing Spells causing an object to completely disappear ; and Conjuring Spells creating objects out of thin air. It was possible to change inanimate objects into animate ones and vice versa — Minerva McGonagall , the class's teacher, transfigured her desk into a pig.
According to Minerva McGonagall "Transfiguration is some of the most dangerous magic you will be taught at Hogwarts". Community Bot 1. Au Au If each period is 45 min and Moody kept them 5 or 10 minutes over calling minutes an hour would not be unusual. If each class was an hour, why would Rowling have needed to mention Moody putting Harry through extra paces directly after telling us the length of the class?
The wording there strongly suggests that it's an explanation, meaning that an hour is unusually long for a period, meaning that the 45 minutes you gleaned is probably correct. PlutoThePlanet Well I didn't really want my question to turn into a whole discussion. To be honest I was wary of putting anything in the question except the title, because I didn't want to negate the discussion, but I thought it was worth flagging up that this is actually a bit of a thorny issue. There's a similar reference to "an hour later" after Hagrid's first care of magical creatures class and there it's even less clear what we're an hour after.
But if we read the bit slightly before Moody's putting the curse on loads of people, then he puts it on Harry and Harry nearly resists it — Au Good catch!!! You're not the first one to wonder, by the way : cosforums. Imperator referring to double periods as 2 of the normal periods put together is common in the British context that J.
Rowling is familiar with, and set her book in. I am a similar age of her and it is how I and other British people of the same age would term it. We would study Physics, Biology and Chemistry as separate Sciences. Show 9 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. We have classes that last 45 minutes, or 90 minutes, depending on context. Binn's Magical History single class - 1. Double Potions with Snape - 1.
Double potions with Slughorn: 1. I have previously read references that in Scotland class length is 45 mins Moody's extra-long session with Harry was, as you said, 1 hour, meaning normal class was less than that. Bonus round: Lunch is 1 hour: Harry spent the rest of the lunch hour sitting alone underneath the trapdoor at the top of North Tower OotP Harry and Ron spent their lunch hour in the library looking up the uses of moonstones in potion-making OotP He had to give up his lunch hour to complete the picture of the bowtruckle OotP Bonus Round 2: Normal exams are 1 hour: Their very last exam was History of Magic.
Improve this answer. And what an answer - very comprehensive, thank you, just the sort of thing I was hoping for — Au In the UK it's fairly normal to talk about "lunch hour" even if lunch isn't an hour. For the lesson with salamanders, an hour and a half lesson in the middle of the grounds plus travel time walking there and back easily adds up to two hours. Lunch hour sounds to me more like the hour of the day when we have lunch on, rather than an hour long lunch.
They also argued quidditch teams. This was helped along by Harry drinking the Felix Felicis liquid luck potion. The answer is simple: The Weasleys dislike Fleur or, as they like to call her, Phlegm because she is arrogant and rude.
She also speaks to them in a very condescending manner. Because she acted so superior and condescending. Ginny disliked her because she treated her like a child. Hermione and Mrs Weasley disliked her due to her rudeness. Hermione disliked Fleur since the Goblet of fire, Everytime Ron saw her he was interested in Fleur which made Hermione jealous.
The scene where Ginny hides the book in the Room of Requirement, she tells Harry to close his eyes and then kisses him. No, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger never kiss or sleep with each other, neither in the books nor in any of the movies.
They did not have sex. Keep in mind that for her entire fourth year she was 15 — a year under the age of consent in the non-magical world.
And even if the magical world had different rules, she would still have been raised by parents who taught her better. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search.
