Professor Umbridge brings a refreshing take to Hogwarts' none-too-consistent approach to Defense Against the Dark Arts. She teaches students useful skills that will be applicable in the real world. Don't listen to the Gryffindors who will tell you that we should be learning actual combat spells. Professor Umbridge is very fair and disciplines students only when they deserve it like when certain people think it's a good idea to spread lies about the return of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. We don't need rabble-rousers. Great class overall, easy extra credit. Just be sure to go to office hours and report questionable student activity. It's a great cause Written by SlytDM

Absolutely wonderful! Herbology is a simply terrific subject! Professor Sprout is grand and I'm even TAing for her next year. The greenhouses are amazingly peaceful and I find I get along much better with the plants than I do with my classmates! Written by GryfNL
Useful, I guess. This class is basically the reason I didn't drown during the Triwizard Tournament. Not that I figured it out myself whatever, don't care. I'm too busy saving the world anyway. Written by GryfHPSteer clear of any class that has two kinds of dung and one kind of dung compost among its required materials. And who thought it was a good idea to pull screaming babies out of flowerpots by their leaves? Because I could have told you how badly that would end. Written by GryfRW

Fascinating. It is absolutely essential to understand the history of a people to truly connect with their modern culture and behavior. About Professor Binns he's really not as boring as everyone thinks. Really! He probably won't remember your name, though Written by GryfHG
My God, my father is donating all this money and Hogwarts can't even hire a professor who is alive? No wonder this country is going down the drain. Written by SlytDMGet a friend to take good notes. Written by GryfRW

On one hand this class takes up way too much of my time and the prof is a bit of a wanker. On the other hand, with the right textbook this class could just become a lay-up and have lots of real world applications, if you know what I mean. Written by GryfHP
So many labs. Also just a terrifying class in general. I'd write more but my hands are shaking too much. Written by GryfNL
Damn, it feels good to be a Slytherin. Don't ask me why we have an "exceeds expectations" median. Sometimes people are just blessed with natural ability and better social standing. Suck it, Gryffindors. Written by SlytDM
