Which of the Following Taught Defence Against the Dark Arts at Ilvermorny?

Defence Against the Night Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a discipline 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 Dark Arts, including dark creatures,[21] [24] [25] curses, hexes and jinxes (dark charms),[22] and duelling.[20]

The class was a core field of study at Hogwarts.[26] The position of Defence Confronting the Dark Arts professor at the school was once rumoured to be jinxed, as no teacher could hold the post for more than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did not requite him the job when he applied for information technology.[2] The fact that no instructor has lasted longer than a year meant that the field of study had numerous Professors over the years.[20]

Ilvermorny began pedagogy the subject in the 17th century.[13] Harry Potter would occasionally deliver Defence Confronting the Dark Arts lectures at Hogwarts in his machismo.[27]

Class information

"The Dark Arts, are many, varied, ever-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is similar fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than earlier. You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore exist as flexible and inventive as the arts you seek to undo."
— Professor Snape discussing Defence Against the Nighttime Arts during a sixth year lesson in 1996[src]

Defence Against the Dark Arts was a required subject from first yr to fifth twelvemonth.[26] [xviii] The curriculum of the class varied profoundly depending on what the professor at the time accounted appropriate. Due to the jinx on the teaching postal service that was nowadays before Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.[2]

A third twelvemonth practical test, an obstacle course

Tom Riddle twice applied for the Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts position, the first time soon later on graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned downwards by Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was too young just invited him to re-employ a few years later.

Many years later, after becoming steeped in the Dark Arts and starting to utilise the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied once again, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused over again. According to Albus Dumbledore, later on the second refusal, no Defence Against the Night Arts teacher held the postal service for more than than 1 schoolhouse year. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a conventionalities that was popularly spread throughout the schoolhouse.[ii]

1994 Defence Confronting the Dark Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

The lessons by and large had a practical approach, with the cases of competent teachers believing that when it came to the Dark Arts a practical approach was the best way,[21] [22] [twenty] with theoretical assignments given as homework.[28] Inadequate teachers, such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge, who were focused on theories lone, hampered the learning of defences as they would not be providing students any practical experiences.[18] [29]

In the 5th year, Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations were taken; as such, students spent their fourth dimension learning new topics and possibly revisiting the past iv years of lessons (depending on the instructor). As part of their Defence Confronting the Dark Arts O.W.50., students had to sit a written exam one of the questions asks to describe the v signs of a werewolf[xxx] and after students must complete a practical exam of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).[31]

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

As well, due to the course beingness direct related to the Night Arts itself, Dark Wizards who wished to teach would typically use for this class, notably being Tom Riddle,[2] Patricia Rakepick,[33] Quirinus Quirrell,[34] Bartemius Crouch Inferior,[7] Dolores Umbridge,[35] Severus Snape[nine] and Amycus Carrow.[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were ii known students who failed their O.W.Fifty.s in Defense force Against the Dark Arts, for which the following year's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.[37]

The Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher was also responsible for dealing with any Dark Arts related activities that threaten the schoolhouse 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 call in 1993,[38] while Snape was assigned to staunch the deadly curse that affected Katie Bell in 1996.[39]

Curriculum

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

Due to the constant changing of teachers until the jinx created by Voldemort was broken, the curriculum of Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts varied from yr to year.[xx] [two] Each teacher had their own priorities and way of instruction, and their own corresponding efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,[20] such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge assertive that theories were plenty (which were, in fact, more hindering),[29] while the more effective Remus Lupin,[21] Bartemius Crouch Junior[22] (then disguised as Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)[vii] and Severus Snape[xx] had a more balanced belief in theory and practical defense force.

Sixth-years were supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked similar; information technology was but in the 1994–1995 school yr that this was changed to the quaternary twelvemonth.[22]

Earlier teachers from the 1985–1986 school year for case, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by most students, and equally such, very rarely showed up to teach.[forty] [41] [42] [43]

Patricia Rakepick education Defence Against the Dark Arts to fifth-years

During the 1988–1989 school year, the renowned Curse-Breaker Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence Against the Night Arts instructor for that academic year.[3] She proved herself to be a highly constructive teacher of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a wide multifariousness of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to recoup her students for having learnt virtually nil in previous years. She even gave her select students private lessons in the subject, teaching them how to duel, in preparation for locating the Cursed Vaults throughout the Castle.[3] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]

Bill Weasley educational activity a group of 6th-years DADA in the evening

During the 1989–1990 schoolhouse year, Bill Weasley was given permission by Albus Dumbledore to teach extra-curricular evening classes in this subject to students later graduating the school, due to the ineffectiveness of the teaching that yr.[57] He continued teaching these lessons in the 1990–1991 school twelvemonth as well.[58]

Quirrell pedagogy Defense force Against the Dark Arts

In the 1991–1992 school yr, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,[59] which, four years subsequently, the Ministry building deemed he was the but teacher before Dolores Umbridge to be of adequate standards. However, the Ministry building at the time was corrupt and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell's effectiveness was inaccurate.[29] In fact, while he was a studious intellectual, his practical aspect was severely hampered past 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 "educational activity" Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 schoolhouse year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught nothing to the classes of his respective tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials, considering that he was hired solely by Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him as a fraud to the world.[60] His lectures were but storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his commencement applied lesson ended in a disaster that he failed to contain (involving live "freshly caught" Cornish Pixies),[23] and his idea of homework was for the class to compose a poem of one of his alleged achievements with the offer of a signed copy of his autobiography to the best composer.[61]

Lockhart simply using the grade to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the only matter he learned from it was "non to set pixies loose", and expressed his desire to drop out of the course mainly of Lockhart's incompetence.[62] In late 1992, Lockhart also established a very shortly lived and unsuccessful Duelling Club with the help of Severus Snape, in an endeavour to teach students how to defend themselves; the club only had one coming together which resulted in consummate chaos.[63]

Lupin teaching Defense force Confronting the Night Arts

In the 1993–1994 school year, Professor Lupin was among the most constructive teachers to accept taught, as many students nether his tutelage agreed upon. He taught applied aspects during the lectures, fifty-fifty bringing in several dark creatures in captivity as 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 also gave his favourite student Harry Potter additional lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, so he could learn to combat Dementors.[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the simply teacher among their five (at the time) who knew what he was doing.

"Moody" demonstrating the Killing Curse on a spider during a quaternary-year lesson

In the 1994–1995 school yr, Bartemius Crouch Inferior, then bearded as Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,[seven] believed firmly in a practical approach. As such, he taught the fourth-year form on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the 6th year, believing they need to encounter it sooner.[22] He even performed the Imperius Curse on all the students as a means to teach them how to resist information technology.[65] Although the students found him to be one of the about effective instructors (despite his truthful identity later being revealed to exist a criminal), the Ministry institute the lessons to be very controversial, and expressed their strong disapproval.[eighteen]

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 individual ground forces of young witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry building.[66] As such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to become the teacher of the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts classes, which he believed to be the main source of training (e.g. defensive spells) for Dumbledore'southward would-be soldiers.[eighteen]

Umbridge "education" Defense Confronting the Dark Arts

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

In the 1996–1997 school yr, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Night Arts as a unsafe and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must be every bit versatile every bit the foul arts they seek to undo. He imposed a darker atmosphere in the classroom by dimmer lighting and macabre portraits in social club to let the students to have a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Dark Arts can bring. Hermione concluded that Snape's ethics were very much the same every bit what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore's Army recruitment meeting: not but memorising a bunch of spells, merely to understand and react accordingly to the state of affairs at paw.[xx] As with Lupin and Crouch, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

Every bit with every other form that required applied spells, sixth-years were taught nonverbal spell usage,[20] and were expected to use them in class from then on.[69]

In the 1997–1998 school twelvemonth, the course was changed to Dark Arts during Voldemort'south takeover of the school. It was taught by the Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who taught students how to perform the Unforgivable Curses, with a particular emphasis with ordering students to practice the Cruciatus Curse on ill-behaved students,[36] along with the summoning of Fiendfyre.[70]

First year

"The class everyone had really been looking forward to was Defence Against the Dark Arts, only 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 afraid would be coming back to get him ane of these days."
— DADA lessons with Quirrell as the professor[src]

2d year

"Now — be warned! It is my job 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 you lot whilst I am hither. All I inquire is that you remain calm. I must ask you not to scream. It might provoke them."
— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies[src]

Third yr

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

Students during the 1993–1994 school year, under the significantly loftier 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 — direct into it. Curses. They come up in many strengths and forms. At present, co-ordinate to the Ministry of Magic, I'g supposed to teach yous countercurses and leave it at that. I'g non supposed to evidence you lot what illegal Dark curses wait like until you're in the sixth year. You're not supposed to be one-time enough to bargain with it till so. Merely Professor Dumbledore'due south got a higher opinion of your fretfulness, he reckons you tin cope, and I say, the sooner you lot know what y'all're upwardly confronting, the better."
— Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised as Alastor Moody) on his approach of the subject area[src]

Students witnessed the three Unforgivable Curses used on spiders.[22] They were also given lessons on resisting the Imperius Curse, in which Harry Potter was the simply one successful in his class.[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 school yr merely and the Unforgivable Curses are usually covered in the sixth year N.E.W.T. form.[22]

Fifth year

1988–1989 school year

"I am non simply going to show you how to defend yourselves against the Dark Arts, but how to attack the Dark Arts. You volition receive the finest instruction from someone who has actually faced the worst that the Dark Arts has to offer. They say this position is cursed, just breaking curses is what I do best."
— Patricia Rakepick's approach to pedagogy the field of study[src]

Patricia Rakepick was the Professor in this subject for the 1988–1989 school year, in which she taught her fifth year students a wide multitude of highly interesting and useful topics, advisedly balancing both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills.

1995–1996 school year

"Well now, your teaching in this subject area has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? The constant changing of teachers, many of whom exercise not seem to have followed whatever Ministry-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your being far below the standard we would await to see in your O.Due west.L. year. You will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to be rectified. We will be following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-canonical form of defensive magic this year."
— Dolores Umbridge'due south excuse for depriving students of practical defense force[src]

6th yr

"You will at present divide... into pairs. One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other volition attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. Comport on."
— A North.E.W.T. lesson on nonverbal spells[src]

Official curriculum

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

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

Seventh year

Known professors

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"At that place is a new Defence Confronting the Dark Arts instructor, and that position is at present as rubber as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort'southward death broke the jinx that kept a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year."
— J. Thou. Rowling stated the jinx on the DADA post has been lifted[src]
  • Unidentified 19th-century Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (c. 1890) [98]
  • Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) [ii]
  • Unidentified professor (1984–1985) [40]
  • 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 time between the kickoff of Voldemort'southward jinx and when information technology was eventually cleaved, there was at to the lowest degree one professor per year. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the year earlier Harry began studying at Hogwarts) there could be effectually xx-five different professors in the position.[100]

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

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

Backside the scenes

  • When J. M. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not requite Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts would bring out Snape's worst side,[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry'southward sixth year.[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their chat in Spinner'southward End.[108]
  • Rowling has as well revealed that after Amycus Carrow was the Nighttime Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the post because Voldemort'due south jinx over the job was lifted.
  • Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did not wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fearfulness 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'south physical well-beingness (not least of all because of how much of importance he could have been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore's fear, however, Snape did not truly return to his sometime 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 Dark 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 lone out of all the others would never have attacked Harry if he had been in his human form)
    • Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised every bit Moody) tried to kill him.
    • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Curse (and had previously sent Dementors to attack him, though this was before she taught the subject field).
    • Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for Harry trying to curse him during the Boxing of the Astronomy Tower.
    • Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Nighttime Arts instead of Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
  • Dolores Umbridge was the but female Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher in the series besides Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was not seen throughout the series, only mentioned.
  • The six professors of this subject who taught Harry each had a night secret that he did not learn until nearly the finish 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 one who sent the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley.
    • Snape was the one who had reported the prophecy to Voldemort and was the One-half-Blood Prince.
  • During his tenure as Potions Chief, Severus Snape only accepted students who achieved an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. Still, when Snape became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 schoolhouse year, students who achieved 'Exceeds Expectations' were even so immune to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
  • The only book to have twice been assigned for this field of study is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
  • Most of the Defence Against the Night Arts teachers in Harry's vi years at Hogwarts followed a similar blueprint: each (with the exception of Quirrell and Snape).
    • They were an entirely new teacher; each was chosen out of necessity, due to the loss of the previous instructor and the absenteeism of other applicants
    • each meets Harry earlier he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective twelvemonth (with the exception of Mad-Eye Moody, who was only mentioned in passing, although Harry had unknowingly encountered Barty Hunker Jnr at the Quidditch World Cup)
    • and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during school term, either intentionally or accidentally, equally in the case of Remus Lupin.
  • In Harry Potter and the Lodge of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defence force Confronting the Nighttime Arts teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't have much luck: "Ane sacked, one dead, one lost his memory, and one was locked in a body for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, still, because Lupin resigned rather than was fired. Also, Crouch Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry'south fourth twelvemonth, suffered the Dementor's Kiss.
  • Quirinus Quirrell is the just Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher known to accept died during the yr he gave the subject.
  • Co-ordinate to Pottermore, from the best to worst Defence Confronting the Night Arts teacher during the seven years of Harry's teaching:
    1. Remus Lupin, for his off-white, popular and effective teaching methods.
    2. Severus Snape, for his effective, qualified yet strict methods.
    3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, teaching near himself more than than about defense force.
    4. Barty Crouch, for his allegiance with Voldemort, despite his actual education effectiveness.
    5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the form into just Dark Arts and his brutal discipline methods.
    6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the grade of any practicality and her scarring disciplinary methods.
    7. Quirinus Quirrell, for having Voldemort at the dorsum of his head.
  • In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, if players take Jacob'due south sibling to the O.W.L. through an optional side quest, they will definitely gain at to the lowest degree an A, even if they neglect to answer every question and perform any defensive spells.
  • In the early on video games, creatures such equally Burn down Crabs, Fire Dwelling Salamanders (which are canonically small-scale, non-aggressive lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defense force Against the Dark Arts classes. However, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find 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 Care of Magical Creatures instead, meaning their inclusion on the Defence Against the Dark Arts curriculum is not canon. Several games likewise depict gnomes as being covered in the grade, which seems rather odd considering they are simply harmless (albeit abrasive) garden pests, and are not considered nighttime or dangerous.
  • Also in the early video games, spells such equally the Softening Charm or Seize and pull charm are taught in this form, despite these spells seemingly not having any defensive or offensive qualities. It is likely these spells were taught in this class purely for game-play reasons.
  • In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-iv, in Gilderoy Lockhart'south showtime Defense force Against the Dark Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Charm for combating Pixies.[83] All the same, this lesson cannot be considered canon, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson's delineation in the 2d volume.
