So if the Hogwarts teachers taught in the Muggle World... what classes would they teach?

Flitwick- Aviation 101

McGonagle- ??? [Confused]

(Potions teacher)Snape-Chemistry 101

Sprout- Plant Biology [Roll Eyes]

Hooch- PE

Binns- History 101 [Roll Eyes]

Dark Arts Teacher- Criminal Psychology (if anyone could think of something better please post it))

Trewlawny- Astronomy

Hagrid- Zoology

If anyone have better ones go ahead and add them.

I suppose if we're teaching Intelligent Design, we may as well start teaching astrology.

Posted by tern (Member # 7429) on :

Flitwick: Art/Music
McGonagall: Home Room, Math
Snape: Chemistry
Sprout: Biology
Dark Arts Teacher: English
Trewlawny: History
Hagrid: P.E., Woodshop. (Or, "Industrial Arts" as it was called in my jr. high)

Should I change it to Astronomy.. that's what I meant to put.... oops

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

oh, yeah, tern. I can really see Hagrid as a "shop" teacher -- that was a good idea!

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

Just about any of them: Latin

Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :

Why shop?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I think McGonagal would teach physics. That or, you know, Trig. Flitwick, I see more as the English-teacher type. Or maybe Foods.

And Trelawny would teach Health and Guidance-- because in my school, that's what they always gave to the teachers who were really hired for other reasons but had to have a subject.

Eeexxcellent.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Dark Arts==Algebra. There tain't much darker than that.

Hagrid--Animal Husbandry.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Even better.

Defence Against Dark Arts = Law/Pre-Law

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Oh, Law/Pre-Law actually works. Heh. Only you've got to add criminology and psycology into that a bit.

Hmm...maybe this:

Professor Voldemort: Law/Pre-Law.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I think psychology is pretty close to a lot of the stuff they learn in DATDA.

I like to equate Voldemort with White Collar Crime in this case. He went to business school.

(No offense intended, only the harmless jokey kind.)

Hogwarts *already* has an astronomy teacher in Professor Sinistra. They have classes on wednesday nights in the highest tower. [Smile]

Trelawney would teach Drama. [Big Grin]

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

No way. Dumbledore might teach Drama. Trelawney's probably an Art or Chorus type. Home Ec, maybe, one of the really incompetent Home Ec teachers. Or one of the crazy subs.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Trelawney's not the Home Ec type. Drama, on the other hand, would be an excellent fit. (There are incompetent drama teachers too, you know. [Wink]

)

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

And they also already have a math professor in Professor Vector.

Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :

Trelawney would teach psychology.

Posted by lucy hummer (Member # 7740) on :

Trewlawney would teach theater.

There's already an astronomy teacher too, but I forget who.

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Dumbledore would teach upper-division biochemistry classes with limited enrollment and give oral exams two days before grades were due.

"Potter! Potter!" cried Professor McGonagall. Harry hurried toward where she was standing in the doorway. "Go fetch Professor Dumbledore," she said anxiously. "Hagrid's been in an accident."

"What happened?" asked Harry as he hurried past.

Professor McGonagall called after him: "His beard was sucked into the belt sander!"

As Harry rushed toward Dumbledore's office, he wondered what kind of disfigurement Hagrid would come away with this time. The incident with the jigsaw hadn't been kind to his ear, and they were still finding pieces of drill bits in his hair...

Sinistra.

And what exactly is Arithmancy, precisely?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Well, it has to do with numbers.

Maaaaaaaaaaagical numbers.

I was just going to say that, Tarrsk! Dude, you stole my thunder.

(Incidentally, is that a SW name?)

Posted by theamazeeaz (Member # 6970) on :

They've already got Astronomy (real astronomy), Professor Sinistra teaches it.

Posted by Rakeesh (Member # 2001) on :

Yes it is, KQ, although in SW it's spelled differently. Actually, I think DAtDA has little in common with psychology. Much more law-enforcement than actual law.
