Ones Defense Against the Dark Arts Must Be What

Defence force Against the Dark Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a subject taught at Hogwarts Schoolhouse 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 (nighttime charms),^[22] and duelling.^[20]

The class was a core subject at Hogwarts.^[26] The position of Defense force Confronting the Dark Arts professor at the school was once rumoured to be jinxed, as no instructor could hold the postal service for more than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did non give him the job when he practical for it.^[ii] The fact that no teacher has lasted longer than a twelvemonth meant that the subject had numerous Professors over the years.^[20]

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

Class information

"The Dark Arts, are many, varied, e'er-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is similar fighting a many-headed monster, which, each fourth dimension a neck is severed, sprouts a caput even fiercer and cleverer than before. Yous are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore be as flexible and inventive as the arts you seek to undo."

— Professor Snape discussing Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts during a sixth year lesson in 1996^[src]

Defense Against the Dark Arts was a required bailiwick from beginning year to fifth year.^{[26] [eighteen]} The curriculum of the class varied greatly depending on what the professor at the fourth dimension deemed appropriate. Due to the jinx on the didactics postal service that was present before Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.^[2]

A tertiary year practical exam, an obstacle course

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

Many years subsequently, later becoming steeped in the Nighttime Arts and starting to use the championship "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied again, this fourth dimension to Dumbledore. He was refused once again. According to Albus Dumbledore, afterward the 2d refusal, no Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher held the post for more than one school year. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a conventionalities that was popularly spread throughout the school.^[2]

1994 Defense force Confronting the Dark Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

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

In the fifth twelvemonth, Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations were taken; as such, students spent their time learning new topics and possibly revisiting the past iv years of lessons (depending on the instructor). Every bit part of their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.50., students had to sit a written examination one of the questions asks to depict the five signs of a werewolf^[30] and afterwards students must complete a practical test of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).^[31]

To advance to the North.E.West.T. class, a pupil had to start attain a high O.W.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; most teachers set the bar at "Exceeds Expectations".^[32]

Also, due to the form being directly related to the Night Arts itself, Dark Wizards who wished to teach would typically utilise for this form, notably beingness Tom Riddle,^[2] Patricia Rakepick,^[33] Quirinus Quirrell,^[34] Bartemius Crouch Junior,^[7] Dolores Umbridge,^[35] Severus Snape^[ix] and Amycus Carrow.^[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were 2 known students who failed their O.Due west.Fifty.s in Defence Confronting the Dark Arts, for which the following year's corresponding teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.^[37]

The Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher was too responsible for dealing with any Dark Arts related activities that threaten the school and its residents, every bit Harry and Ron expected Lockhart to enter the Chamber of Secrets and protested against his excuse of leaving under an unavoidable urgent call in 1993,^[38] while Snape was assigned to staunch the deadly curse that afflicted Katie Bell in 1996.^[39]

Classrooms

Defence force Against the Night Arts classes took place on the outset-floor, Class 104 in the North Tower and Classroom 3C on the third-floor. In Classroom 3C, an iron chandelier hung from the ceiling, equally well every bit a dragon'south skeleton.^[fourteen] On 1 stop of the classroom stood a projector that was activated by magic. Several desks and tables could be constitute in the classroom also equally some sets of large windows.^[17]

Curriculum

"Yous have had five teachers in this subject and then far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers volition all have had their own methods and priorities. Given this defoliation I am surprised so many of you scraped an O.W.50. in this subject. I shall be even more surprised if all of you lot manage to go on upwardly with N.E.W.T. work, which will be much more avant-garde."

— Professor Snape on the curriculum's instability^[src]

Due to the constant changing of teachers until the jinx created past Voldemort was broken, the curriculum of Defence Confronting the Dark Arts varied from year to year.^{[20] [ii]} Each teacher had their own priorities and way of education, and their own respective efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,^[twenty] such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge believing that theories were plenty (which were, in fact, more hindering),^[29] while the more effective Remus Lupin,^[21] Bartemius Hunker Junior^[22] (so bearded as Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)^[7] and Severus Snape^[twenty] had a more balanced belief in theory and applied defence.

Sixth-years were supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked like; information technology was merely in the 1994–1995 school yr that this was changed to the 4th yr.^[22]

Earlier teachers from the 1985–1986 school twelvemonth for example, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by most students, and as such, very rarely showed upward to teach.^{[forty] [41] [42] [43]}

Patricia Rakepick education Defence Against the Dark Arts to 5th-years

During the 1988–1989 school yr, the renowned Curse-Breaker Patricia Rakepick was appointed every bit the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for that bookish year.^[iii] She proved herself to exist a highly effective instructor of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a wide variety of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to compensate her students for having learnt almost nada in previous years. She even gave her select students individual lessons in the subject, didactics 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 instruction a group of sixth-years DADA in the evening

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

Quirrell teaching Defence Against the Nighttime Arts

In the 1991–1992 school yr, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,^[59] which, iv years later, the Ministry deemed he was the only teacher earlier Dolores Umbridge to be of acceptable standards. However, the Ministry at the time was decadent and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell'due south 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 acquired many students consider his classes to exist a joke, and failed to take him seriously.^{[26] [59]}

Lockhart "pedagogy" Defence Confronting the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 school year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught aught to the classes of his respective tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials, because that he was hired solely by Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him as a fraud to the world.^[60] His lectures were simply storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his first practical 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 verse form of one of his alleged achievements with the offering of a signed re-create of his autobiography to the best composer.^[61]

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

Lupin educational activity Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1993–1994 schoolhouse year, Professor Lupin was amidst the most effective teachers to have taught, as many students nether his tutelage agreed upon. He taught practical aspects during the lectures, fifty-fifty bringing in several night 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 want to learn from him.^{[21] [24] [25]} Lupin also gave his favourite student Harry Potter boosted lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, then he could learn to combat Dementors.^[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the only teacher amongst their five (at the fourth dimension) 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 Crouch Junior, then disguised as Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,^[7] believed firmly in a practical arroyo. As such, he taught the 4th-year grade on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the sixth twelvemonth, assertive they need to run into 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 establish him to be 1 of the nigh effective instructors (despite his true identity later existence revealed to be a criminal), the Ministry establish the lessons to be very controversial, and expressed their strong disapproval.^[eighteen]

During the 1995–1996 school twelvemonth, the Government 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 army of young witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry.^[66] Every bit such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to become the teacher of the Defense Confronting the Dark Arts classes, which he believed to be the primary source of training (e.grand. defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-exist soldiers.^[18]

Umbridge "teaching" Defence Against the Dark Arts

Umbridge supplied a syllabus based entirely on the theory of conflict rather facing them, all of which was but reading out of the textbook, assertive that this would exist 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.^{[eighteen] [29]} This misguided belief deprived the students on any useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the germination on Dumbledore'southward Army, which taught more than practical defence that students from all grades institute more useful.^[67] Umbridge would afterwards merits that the spells Harry taught were accounted by the Ministry inappropriate for students at their ages.^[68]

In the 1996–1997 school yr, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Dark Arts as a dangerous and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must be every bit versatile every bit the foul arts they seek to disengage. He imposed a darker atmosphere in the classroom by dimmer lighting and macabre portraits in social club to permit the students to have a firmer agreement of the sufferings the Nighttime Arts can bring. Hermione concluded that Snape's ethics were very much the same every bit what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore'due south Regular army recruitment coming together: not only memorising a bunch of spells, but to understand and react accordingly to the situation at hand.^[20] As with Lupin and Crouch, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

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

In the 1997–1998 school year, the course was inverse to Night 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 detail emphasis with ordering students to do the Cruciatus Expletive on disobedient students,^[36] along with the summoning of Fiendfyre.^[seventy]

First year

"The class everyone had really been looking forward to was Defense force Against the Dark Arts, but Quirrell's lessons turned out to be a scrap 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 go him i of these days."

— DADA lessons with Quirrell as the professor^[src]

2d yr

"Now — be warned! It is my chore to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind! You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no impairment tin can befall you whilst I am here. All I ask is that you remain calm. I must inquire yous not to scream. It might provoke them."

— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies^[src]

Third year

"Professor Lupin had complied the most unusual test any of them had ever taken; a sort of obstacle course outside in the dominicus, where they had to wade across a deep paddling pool containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes full of Crimson Caps, squish their way beyond a patch of marsh while ignoring misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, and then climb into an old trunk and battle with a new Boggart."

— The 3rd twelvemonth Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts exam in 1994^[src]

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

Quaternary year

"So — straight into it. Curses. They come in many strengths and forms. Now, co-ordinate to the Ministry of Magic, I'm supposed to teach y'all countercurses and leave information technology at that. I'm not supposed to show yous what illegal Night curses look like until you're in the sixth twelvemonth. You're not supposed to be erstwhile enough to deal with it till and so. Merely Professor Dumbledore's got a higher opinion of your nerves, he reckons y'all can cope, and I say, the sooner you know what yous're upward confronting, the better."

— Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised equally Alastor Moody) on his arroyo of the subject^[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 only one successful in his class.^[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 school year only and the Unforgivable Curses are normally covered in the sixth yr North.Eastward.W.T. course.^[22]

Fifth year

1988–1989 school year

"I am not only going to prove you how to defend yourselves confronting the Dark Arts, but how to assail the Dark Arts. You lot will receive the finest instruction from someone who has actually faced the worst that the Dark Arts has to offering. They say this position is cursed, only breaking curses is what I do best."

— Patricia Rakepick'southward approach to education the subject^[src]

Patricia Rakepick was the Professor in this subject field for the 1988–1989 schoolhouse year, in which she taught her fifth year students a broad multitude of highly interesting and useful topics, carefully balancing both theoretical and practical noesis and skills.

1995–1996 school year

"Well now, your instruction in this subject field has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? The constant changing of teachers, many of whom practise not seem to accept followed whatsoever Ministry building-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your existence far beneath the standard we would expect to encounter in your O.W.50. twelvemonth. You volition be pleased to know, however, that these bug are now to be rectified. We volition exist post-obit a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-approved form of defensive magic this year."

— Dolores Umbridge's excuse for depriving students of practical defense force^[src]

Sixth twelvemonth

"You will at present separate... into pairs. One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other volition try to repel the jinx in equal silence. Deport on."

— A Northward.E.Westward.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 informal, of grade. I'm not replacing your professor, just tutoring."

— Beak Weasley explaining his tutoring lessons to sixth years^[src]

During the 1989–1990 schoolhouse twelvemonth, Bill Weasley was given permission by Albus Dumbledore to give evening classes in this field of study after graduating Hogwarts, due to the ineffectiveness of the instruction that school year.^[57]

Seventh year

Known professors

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher, and that position is now as safety as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort'south death broke 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 mail has been lifted^[src]

• Unidentified 19th-century Defence force Against the Night Arts professor (c. 1890) ^[98]
• Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) ^[2]
• Unidentified professor (1984–1985) ^[forty]
• 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 beginning of Voldemort'southward jinx and when it was eventually broken, there was at to the lowest degree ane professor per twelvemonth. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the yr before Harry began studying at Hogwarts) at that place could exist around twenty-five different professors in the position.^[100]

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

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

Ilvermorny Schoolhouse of Witchcraft and Wizardry

• Confronting the Faceless (N.E.W.T.-level)^[twenty]

Grades

Known O.W.L.s

• All Aurors since it is a compulsory North.Eastward.Due west.T.-level qualification; therefore O.W.L. must accept been achieved earlier that.^[32]

Behind the scenes

• When J. K. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not requite Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that instruction Defence Against the Dark Arts would bring out Snape's worst side,^[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's 6th year.^[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their conversation in Spinner's End.^[108]
• Rowling has also revealed that later on Amycus Carrow was the Dark Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the post because Voldemort's jinx over the job was lifted.
• Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did not wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fear of relapsing into his Death Eater ways, it is likewise possible that (since the discipline had been jinxed) he was too thinking of Snape's 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'southward fear, however, Snape did non truly return to his one-time 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 instructor 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 later him as a werewolf (although he solitary out of all the others would never take attacked Harry if he had been in his man class)
  • Barty Crouch Jnr (disguised as Moody) tried to impale him.
  • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Expletive (and had previously sent Dementors to attack him, though this was before she taught the subject).
  • Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for Harry trying to curse him during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
  • Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Nighttime Arts instead of Defence Against the Nighttime Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter afterward Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
• Dolores Umbridge was the only female person Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in the serial also Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was not seen throughout the series, only mentioned.
• The six professors of this subject who taught Harry each had a dark secret that he did not learn until near 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 really Barty Hunker 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 Half-Blood Prince.
• During his tenure as Potions Master, Severus Snape simply accepted students who accomplished an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. However, when Snape became the Defence Against the Night Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 school yr, students who accomplished 'Exceeds Expectations' were still allowed to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
• The merely book to have twice been assigned for this subject is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
• Most of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers in Harry'south half dozen years at Hogwarts followed a similar design: 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 instructor and the absenteeism of other applicants
  • each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective year (with the exception of Mad-Middle 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 school term, either intentionally or accidentally, every bit in the case of Remus Lupin.
• In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't accept much luck: "I sacked, ane dead, one lost his memory, and i was locked in a trunk for ix 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 instructor for Harry'southward fourth year, suffered the Dementor'southward Kiss.
• Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Against The Nighttime Arts teacher known to accept died during the year he gave the subject.
• Co-ordinate to Pottermore, from the all-time to worst Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor during the vii years of Harry'southward education:
  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 nigh himself more than about defence force.
  4. Barty Crouch, for his fidelity with Voldemort, despite his actual teaching effectiveness.
  5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into just Nighttime Arts and his brutal field of study 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 head.
• In Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, if players take Jacob's sibling to the O.W.L. through an optional side quest, they will definitely proceeds at least an A, even if they fail to answer every question and perform whatsoever defensive spells.
• In the early video games, creatures such as Fire Crabs, Burn down Dwelling Salamanders (which are canonically minor, non-ambitious lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Notwithstanding, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Discover Them confirms that these creatures are not dark 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 non catechism. Several games also describe gnomes as being covered in the form, which seems rather odd considering they are but harmless (albeit annoying) garden pests, and are not considered dark or dangerous.
• Also in the early video games, spells such as the Softening Charm or Seize and pull charm are taught in this class, despite these spells seemingly non having any defensive or offensive qualities. It is likely these spells were taught in this form purely for game-play reasons.
• In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-four, in Gilderoy Lockhart'south first Defence force Against the Dark Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Charm for combating Pixies.^[83] However, this lesson cannot be considered canon, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson'due south depiction in the 2nd book.
