Every Year in Harry Potter Why Does the Dark Arts Teacher Change

Defense Against the Dark Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[13] In this class, students studied and learnt how to defend themselves against all aspects of the Night Arts, including dark creatures,[21] [24] [25] curses, hexes and jinxes (night charms),[22] and duelling.[20]

The class was a core subject at Hogwarts.[26] The position of Defence Confronting the Night Arts professor at the school was one time rumoured to be jinxed, equally no teacher could concur the postal service for more than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did not give him the task when he applied for it.[2] The fact that no instructor has lasted longer than a year meant that the discipline had numerous Professors over the years.[20]

Ilvermorny began teaching the subject in the 17th century.[13] Harry Potter would occasionally deliver Defense Confronting the Nighttime Arts lectures at Hogwarts in his adulthood.[27]

Course information

"The Dark Arts, are many, varied, ever-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. You lot are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore be every bit flexible and inventive equally the arts you seek to disengage."
— Professor Snape discussing Defense force Against the Dark Arts during a 6th twelvemonth lesson in 1996[src]

Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts was a required subject area from first year to fifth twelvemonth.[26] [18] The curriculum of the class varied greatly depending on what the professor at the fourth dimension deemed appropriate. Due to the jinx on the teaching post that was present before Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.[2]

A 3rd year practical examination, an obstacle course

Tom Riddle twice practical for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, the first time presently after graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned downwardly by Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was likewise young but invited him to re-apply a few years subsequently.

Many years later on, after becoming steeped in the Dark Arts and starting to use the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied again, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused once more. According to Albus Dumbledore, after the 2nd refusal, no Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher held the postal service for more than one schoolhouse twelvemonth. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a belief that was popularly spread throughout the schoolhouse.[2]

1994 Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

The lessons generally had a practical approach, with the cases of competent teachers believing that when it came to the Night Arts a practical approach was the best manner,[21] [22] [20] with theoretical assignments given as homework.[28] Inadequate teachers, such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge, who were focused on theories alone, hampered the learning of defences as they would not exist providing students any practical experiences.[eighteen] [29]

In the 5th year, Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations were taken; as such, students spent their time learning new topics and maybe revisiting the past four years of lessons (depending on the instructor). As function of their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.Fifty., students had to sit a written exam one of the questions asks to describe the five signs of a werewolf[thirty] and after students must complete a practical examination of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).[31]

To accelerate to the N.East.Due west.T. class, a student had to first accomplish a high O.W.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; most teachers ready the bar at "Exceeds Expectations".[32]

Also, due to the course being directly related to the Dark Arts itself, Dark Wizards who wished to teach would typically apply for this course, notably being Tom Riddle,[ii] Patricia Rakepick,[33] Quirinus Quirrell,[34] Bartemius Hunker Junior,[7] Dolores Umbridge,[35] Severus Snape[nine] and Amycus Carrow.[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were two known students who failed their O.Due west.50.due south in Defence force Against the Dark Arts, for which the following year's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.[37]

The Defense force Against the Nighttime Arts teacher was too responsible for dealing with any Nighttime Arts related activities that threaten the school and its residents, as Harry and Ron expected Lockhart to enter the Chamber of Secrets and protested against his excuse of leaving nether an unavoidable urgent phone call in 1993,[38] while Snape was assigned to staunch the deadly curse that affected Katie Bell in 1996.[39]

Curriculum

"You have had v teachers in this subject so far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers volition all accept had their ain methods and priorities. Given this confusion I am surprised so many of you scraped an O.W.L. in this bailiwick. I shall be even more than surprised if all of you manage to keep up with N.E.West.T. piece of work, which will exist much more advanced."
— Professor Snape on the curriculum'south instability[src]

Due to the constant changing of teachers until the jinx created by Voldemort was broken, the curriculum of Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts varied from year to yr.[20] [2] Each teacher had their own priorities and way of teaching, and their own respective efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,[20] such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge believing that theories were enough (which were, in fact, more hindering),[29] while the more effective Remus Lupin,[21] Bartemius Hunker Junior[22] (then bearded equally Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)[7] and Severus Snape[20] had a more balanced conventionalities in theory and practical defense force.

6th-years were supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked like; it was just in the 1994–1995 schoolhouse year that this was changed to the fourth year.[22]

Earlier teachers from the 1985–1986 school year for example, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by virtually students, and every bit such, very rarely showed up to teach.[twoscore] [41] [42] [43]

Patricia Rakepick teaching Defence Confronting the Dark Arts to 5th-years

During the 1988–1989 school twelvemonth, the renowned Curse-Breaker Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts teacher for that academic twelvemonth.[3] She proved herself to exist a highly effective instructor of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a broad variety of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to compensate her students for having learnt almost nothing in previous years. She even gave her select students private lessons in the subject, instruction them how to duel, in preparation for locating the Cursed Vaults throughout the Castle.[three] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]

Nib Weasley educational activity a group of sixth-years DADA in the evening

During the 1989–1990 school year, Bill Weasley was given permission past Albus Dumbledore to teach actress-curricular evening classes in this discipline to students afterward graduating the school, due to the ineffectiveness of the didactics that yr.[57] He continued didactics these lessons in the 1990–1991 schoolhouse twelvemonth likewise.[58]

Quirrell pedagogy Defence Against the Night Arts

In the 1991–1992 school year, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,[59] which, four years subsequently, the Ministry building deemed he was the simply teacher before Dolores Umbridge to be of adequate standards. However, the Ministry at the fourth dimension was corrupt and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell'southward effectiveness was inaccurate.[29] In fact, while he was a studious intellectual, his practical aspect was severely hampered by his timid and stuttering nature, leading him unable to teach properly, which caused many students consider his classes to be a joke, and failed to take him seriously.[26] [59]

Lockhart "pedagogy" Defence Confronting the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 school twelvemonth, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught naught to the classes of his respective tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials, considering that he was hired solely past Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him as a fraud to the world.[lx] His lectures were merely storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his beginning practical lesson concluded in a disaster that he failed to contain (involving alive "freshly caught" Cornish Pixies),[23] and his thought of homework was for the class to compose a verse form of one of his alleged achievements with the offer of a signed copy of his autobiography to the best composer.[61]

Lockhart just using the grade to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the merely matter he learned from it was "not to set pixies loose", and expressed his desire to drib out of the course mainly of Lockhart's incompetence.[62] In tardily 1992, Lockhart too established a very shortly lived and unsuccessful Duelling Club with the aid of Severus Snape, in an attempt to teach students how to defend themselves; the club only had one meeting which resulted in complete chaos.[63]

Lupin teaching Defense Against the Night Arts

In the 1993–1994 schoolhouse year, Professor Lupin was among the virtually constructive teachers to have taught, as many students nether his tutelage agreed upon. He taught practical aspects during the lectures, even bringing in several dark creatures in captivity every bit visual aids, and assigned theoretical aspects for homework. He was also charismatic, earning the respect of his students, and therefore, making them desire to learn from him.[21] [24] [25] Lupin besides gave his favourite educatee Harry Potter additional lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, and so he could learn to combat Dementors.[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the merely teacher amidst their v (at the time) who knew what he was doing.

"Moody" demonstrating the Killing Expletive on a spider during a fourth-year lesson

In the 1994–1995 school year, Bartemius Hunker Junior, then bearded as Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,[7] believed firmly in a practical approach. Every bit such, he taught the fourth-year class on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the sixth year, believing they need to see it sooner.[22] He fifty-fifty performed the Imperius Curse on all the students as a means to teach them how to resist it.[65] Although the students found him to be 1 of the most effective instructors (despite his true identity later existence revealed to be a criminal), the Ministry establish the lessons to exist very controversial, and expressed their potent disapproval.[xviii]

During the 1995–1996 school year, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had deluded himself with the bizarre conspiracy theory that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was using the students to create a private army of young witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry.[66] Every bit such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to go the teacher of the Defence force Confronting the Nighttime Arts classes, which he believed to exist the primary source of training (e.g. defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-be soldiers.[eighteen]

Umbridge "teaching" Defence Confronting the Dark Arts

Umbridge supplied a syllabus based entirely on the theory of conflict rather facing them, all of which was simply reading out of the textbook, believing that this would be sufficient in passing the examinations. Furthermore, she herself did not teach the students, as she had them read the textbooks quietly in class and refused to answer their questions whatsoever more than to silence them.[18] [29] This misguided belief deprived the students on any useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the germination on Dumbledore'south Army, which taught more practical defense force that students from all grades found more useful.[67] Umbridge would later claim that the spells Harry taught were accounted by the Ministry inappropriate for students at their ages.[68]

In the 1996–1997 school twelvemonth, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Night Arts as a dangerous and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must exist equally versatile as the foul arts they seek to undo. He imposed a darker atmosphere in the classroom by dimmer lighting and macabre portraits in order to allow the students to have a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Night Arts tin bring. Hermione concluded that Snape'south ethics were very much the aforementioned as what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore'south Regular army recruitment meeting: not simply memorising a bunch of spells, but to understand and react accordingly to the state of affairs at hand.[xx] Every bit with Lupin and Crouch, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

As with every other grade that required practical spells, sixth-years were taught nonverbal spell usage,[20] and were expected to utilize them in form from then on.[69]

In the 1997–1998 schoolhouse year, the class was changed to Dark Arts during Voldemort'south takeover of the schoolhouse. It was taught by the Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who taught students how to perform the Unforgivable Curses, with a item accent with ordering students to exercise the Cruciatus Curse on disobedient students,[36] along with the summoning of Fiendfyre.[70]

First year

"The form everyone had really been looking frontwards to was Defense Confronting the Nighttime Arts, merely Quirrell's lessons turned out to be a bit of a joke. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic, which everyone said was to ward off a vampire he'd met in Romania and was agape would exist coming back to get him ane of these days."
— DADA lessons with Quirrell equally the professor[src]

2d year

"Now — be warned! It is my chore to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind! You may notice yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall y'all whilst I am here. All I ask is that you remain calm. I must ask yous non to scream. It might provoke them."
— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies[src]

Third twelvemonth

"Professor Lupin had complied the most unusual exam whatever of them had ever taken; a sort of obstacle class outside in the sun, where they had to wade beyond a deep paddling pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes full of Ruddy Caps, squish their way across a patch of marsh while ignoring misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, then climb into an old trunk and battle with a new Boggart."
— The third year Defence Against the Dark Arts exam in 1994[src]

Students during the 1993–1994 school year, under the significantly high quality of teaching under Remus Lupin, learnt almost numerous dark creatures and how to handle them appropriately.[21] [24] [25] [77] [78]

Fourth year

"So — straight into information technology. Curses. They come in many strengths and forms. At present, according to the Ministry of Magic, I'yard supposed to teach you countercurses and leave it at that. I'one thousand non supposed to bear witness you what illegal Dark curses look like until you're in the sixth year. Yous're not supposed to be one-time enough to deal with information technology till then. Simply Professor Dumbledore's got a higher opinion of your nerves, he reckons yous can cope, and I say, the sooner you know what you lot're up against, the meliorate."
— Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised every bit Alastor Moody) on his arroyo of the subject[src]

Students witnessed the 3 Unforgivable Curses used on spiders.[22] They were besides given lessons on resisting the Imperius Curse, in which Harry Potter was the only ane successful in his class.[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 school year only and the Unforgivable Curses are ordinarily covered in the sixth year N.Due east.West.T. course.[22]

Fifth yr

1988–1989 school twelvemonth

"I am not merely going to show you lot how to defend yourselves against the Dark Arts, but how to attack the Dark Arts. You will receive the finest teaching from someone who has actually faced the worst that the Night Arts has to offer. They say this position is cursed, but breaking curses is what I do best."
— Patricia Rakepick's approach to teaching the subject[src]

Patricia Rakepick was the Professor in this subject field for the 1988–1989 school twelvemonth, in which she taught her 5th yr students a wide multitude of highly interesting and useful topics, carefully balancing both theoretical and applied knowledge and skills.

1995–1996 school year

"Well at present, your teaching in this field of study has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? The abiding changing of teachers, many of whom practise non seem to take followed whatever Ministry building-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your being far beneath the standard we would await to see in your O.W.Fifty. year. You volition exist pleased to know, yet, that these bug are now to exist rectified. Nosotros will exist post-obit a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-approved class of defensive magic this twelvemonth."
— Dolores Umbridge's excuse for depriving students of practical defence[src]

Sixth year

"You volition at present dissever... into pairs. 1 partner will endeavour to jinx the other without speaking. The other will attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. Conduct on."
— A Due north.East.West.T. lesson on nonverbal spells[src]

Official curriculum

"I've decided to visit Hogwarts from time to fourth dimension to teach you new defensive spells. This is all breezy, of form. I'yard not replacing your professor, just tutoring."
— Bill Weasley explaining his tutoring lessons to sixth years[src]

During the 1989–1990 schoolhouse year, Pecker Weasley was given permission by Albus Dumbledore to give evening classes in this subject after graduating Hogwarts, due to the ineffectiveness of the teaching that school year.[57]

Seventh yr

Known professors

Hogwarts Schoolhouse of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and that position is now every bit safety as the other didactics posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort's expiry bankrupt the jinx that kept a Defence Against the Nighttime Arts professor from remaining for more than than a year."
— J. K. Rowling stated the jinx on the DADA post has been lifted[src]
  • Unidentified 19th-century Defence Confronting the Dark Arts professor (c. 1890) [98]
  • Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) [2]
  • Unidentified professor (1984–1985) [xl]
  • Unidentified professor (1985–1986) [41]
  • Unidentified professor (1986–1987) [42]
  • Unidentified professor (1987–1988) [43]
  • Unidentified professor (1989–1990) [57]
  • Unidentified professor (1998–?) [99]

During the fourth dimension between the beginning of Voldemort's jinx and when it was eventually broken, there was at least 1 professor per yr. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the yr before Harry began studying at Hogwarts) there could be around 20-five different professors in the position.[100]

Severus Snape served as a substitute teacher during the 1993–1994 school year, when Remus Lupin was feeling ill.[79]

Harry Potter occasionally gave lectures on the subject.[27]

Behind the scenes

  • When J. K. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defense force Confronting the Dark Arts chore, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that instruction Defence Against the Dark Arts would bring out Snape'due south worst side,[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's 6th yr.[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their chat in Spinner's End.[108]
  • Rowling has also revealed that after Amycus Carrow was the Night Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the postal service because Voldemort'southward jinx over the job was lifted.
  • Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did non wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fear of relapsing into his Death Eater ways, it is also possible that (since the subject had been jinxed) he was as well thinking of Snape's physical well-being (not least of all considering of how much of importance he could have been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore'southward fear, nonetheless, Snape did not truly return to his old means when granted the position he sought for, though he did teach the lessons with a sense of passion for the Dark Arts.
  • Each Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher attacked (or attempted to attack) Harry.
    • Quirrell tried to strangle Harry and jinxed his broom during a Quidditch game.
    • Lockhart attempted to erase his memories
    • Lupin went afterward him as a werewolf (although he alone out of all the others would never accept attacked Harry if he had been in his homo course)
    • Barty Crouch Jnr (disguised as Moody) tried to kill him.
    • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Curse (and had previously sent Dementors to assault him, though this was earlier she taught the subject area).
    • Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for Harry trying to curse him during the Boxing of the Astronomy Tower.
    • Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Dark Arts instead of Defence Against the Dark Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
  • Dolores Umbridge was the only female person Defense Confronting the Nighttime Arts teacher in the serial besides Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was not seen throughout the series, simply mentioned.
  • The half-dozen professors of this subject who taught Harry each had a dark cloak-and-dagger that he did not larn until near the cease of their respective school years:
    • Quirrell was serving Voldemort and was possessed by him.
    • Lockhart was a cowardly fraud who covertly stole the achievements of others.
    • Lupin was a werewolf.
    • Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jnr, an escaped Death Eater.
    • Umbridge was the 1 who sent the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley.
    • Snape was the one who had reported the prophecy to Voldemort and was the Half-Blood Prince.
  • During his tenure as Potions Master, Severus Snape only accustomed students who accomplished an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. All the same, when Snape became the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 schoolhouse twelvemonth, students who achieved 'Exceeds Expectations' were yet allowed to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
  • The only book to have twice been assigned for this subject is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
  • Most of the Defence Against the Night Arts teachers in Harry's six years at Hogwarts followed a similar blueprint: each (with the exception of Quirrell and Snape).
    • They were an entirely new teacher; each was called out of necessity, due to the loss of the previous teacher and the absence of other applicants
    • each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the corresponding twelvemonth (with the exception of Mad-Eye Moody, who was only mentioned in passing, although Harry had unknowingly encountered Barty Crouch Jnr at the Quidditch World Cup)
    • and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during schoolhouse term, either intentionally or accidentally, equally in the case of Remus Lupin.
  • In Harry Potter and the Guild of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't have much luck: "One sacked, one dead, one lost his memory, and ane was locked in a trunk for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, however, because Lupin resigned rather than was fired. Also, Crouch Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry'due south quaternary year, suffered the Dementor'south Osculation.
  • Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Against The Dark Arts instructor known to have died during the year he gave the subject.
  • According to Pottermore, from the all-time to worst Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher during the 7 years of Harry's education:
    1. Remus Lupin, for his fair, popular and effective educational activity methods.
    2. Severus Snape, for his effective, qualified yet strict methods.
    3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, educational activity virtually himself more than nigh defence force.
    4. Barty Crouch, for his fidelity with Voldemort, despite his actual teaching effectiveness.
    5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into just Night Arts and his brutal subject area methods.
    6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the class of any practicality and her scarring disciplinary methods.
    7. Quirinus Quirrell, for having Voldemort at the back of his caput.
  • In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, if players have Jacob'southward sibling to the O.Westward.L. through an optional side quest, they will definitely gain at least an A, even if they fail to respond every question and perform whatever defensive spells.
  • In the early video games, creatures such equally Fire Crabs, Fire Dwelling Salamanders (which are canonically pocket-size, non-aggressive lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defense force Against the Dark Arts classes. Withal, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Notice Them confirms that these creatures are not night creatures, nor very dangerous, and Fire Crabs (a highly protected species) and Streelers (domesticated as pets) are in fact taught and handled in Intendance of Magical Creatures instead, meaning their inclusion on the Defence Against the Nighttime Arts curriculum is non canon. Several games as well describe gnomes every bit beingness covered in the class, which seems rather odd considering they are just harmless (albeit abrasive) garden pests, and are not considered dark or unsafe.
  • Besides in the early video games, spells such equally the Softening Charm or Seize and pull amuse are taught in this class, despite these spells seemingly not having any defensive or offensive qualities. Information technology is likely these spells were taught in this class purely for game-play reasons.
  • In LEGO Harry Potter: Years i-4, in Gilderoy Lockhart's first Defense force Against the Dark Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Charm for combating Pixies.[83] Withal, this lesson cannot be considered canon, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson's depiction in the second book.
