Before Harry Potter We Had Fantastic Beasts Harry Potter Clip Art

Defense Against the Night Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a bailiwick 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 nighttime creatures,^{[21] [24] [25]} curses, hexes and jinxes (dark charms),^[22] and duelling.^[20]

The course was a core subject area at Hogwarts.^[26] The position of Defence Confronting the Dark Arts professor at the school was one time rumoured to be jinxed, as no teacher could concord the post for more than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position considering Albus Dumbledore did not requite him the job when he applied for it.^[two] 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 teaching the subject field in the 17th century.^[13] Harry Potter would occasionally evangelize Defense Against the Dark Arts lectures at Hogwarts in his machismo.^[27]

Class information

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

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

Defence Against the Nighttime Arts was a required subject from start year to fifth year.^{[26] [xviii]} The curriculum of the class varied profoundly 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 yr practical exam, an obstacle form

Tom Riddle twice applied for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, the commencement time shortly afterward graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned down by Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was also immature but invited him to re-utilize a few years subsequently.

Many years later, later condign steeped in the Dark Arts and starting to use the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied once again, this fourth dimension to Dumbledore. He was refused again. Co-ordinate to Albus Dumbledore, after the second refusal, no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher held the post for more one school year. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a belief that was popularly spread throughout the school.^[2]

1994 Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

The lessons mostly had a practical arroyo, with the cases of competent teachers believing that when it came to the Nighttime Arts a practical approach was the best manner,^{[21] [22] [20]} with theoretical assignments given equally homework.^[28] Inadequate teachers, such every bit Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge, who were focused on theories lonely, hampered the learning of defences as they would not exist providing students any practical experiences.^{[18] [29]}

In the fifth twelvemonth, 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 teacher). As role of their Defence Against the Night Arts O.W.L., students had to sit a written exam ane of the questions asks to draw the 5 signs of a werewolf^[30] and after students must consummate a applied test of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).^[31]

To advance to the N.E.Westward.T. class, a student had to showtime attain a loftier O.W.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; about teachers gear up 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,^[2] Patricia Rakepick,^[33] Quirinus Quirrell,^[34] Bartemius Crouch Junior,^[7] Dolores Umbridge,^[35] Severus Snape^[9] and Amycus Carrow.^[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were two known students who failed their O.West.L.s in Defense force Confronting the Nighttime Arts, for which the post-obit year's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.^[37]

The Defence force Against the Dark Arts teacher was also 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 Bedroom of Secrets and protested against his excuse of leaving nether an unavoidable urgent call in 1993,^[38] while Snape was assigned to staunch the mortiferous curse that afflicted Katie Bell in 1996.^[39]

Curriculum

"You accept had five teachers in this subject area so far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers will all have had their ain methods and priorities. Given this confusion I am surprised so many of you scraped an O.W.Fifty. in this subject. I shall be even more surprised if all of you manage to keep up with Due north.E.W.T. work, which will be much more than 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 Against the Nighttime Arts varied from year to yr.^{[20] [2]} Each instructor had their own priorities and way of teaching, and their ain respective efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,^[20] such every bit 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 Crouch Junior^[22] (and so disguised as Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)^[7] and Severus Snape^[20] had a more balanced conventionalities in theory and practical defence.

Sixth-years were supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked similar; it was but in the 1994–1995 schoolhouse yr that this was changed to the fourth year.^[22]

Before teachers from the 1985–1986 school year for case, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by near students, and equally such, very rarely showed up to teach.^{[twoscore] [41] [42] [43]}

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

During the 1988–1989 school year, the renowned Curse-Billow Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for that academic twelvemonth.^[3] She proved herself to be a highly constructive teacher of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a wide diverseness of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to compensate her students for having learnt nearly zippo in previous years. She fifty-fifty gave her select students private lessons in the subject, pedagogy them how to duel, in grooming for locating the Cursed Vaults throughout the Castle.^{[three] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]}

Bill Weasley didactics a group of sixth-years DADA in the evening

During the 1989–1990 school yr, 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 schoolhouse year too.^[58]

Quirrell teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1991–1992 school year, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,^[59] which, four years later, the Ministry deemed he was the only teacher before Dolores Umbridge to be of acceptable standards. However, the Ministry 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 applied 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 "teaching" Defense Against the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 schoolhouse year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught nothing to the classes of his corresponding tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials, because that he was hired solely past Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him equally a fraud to the world.^[60] His lectures were simply storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his starting time 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 etch a poem of one of his alleged achievements with the offer of a signed re-create of his autobiography to the all-time composer.^[61]

Lockhart just using the course to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the only matter he learned from it was "not to fix pixies loose", and expressed his desire to drop out of the class mainly of Lockhart's incompetence.^[62] In late 1992, Lockhart as well established a very before long lived and unsuccessful Duelling Order with the help of Severus Snape, in an try to teach students how to defend themselves; the club simply had ane meeting which resulted in complete chaos.^[63]

Lupin education Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1993–1994 school twelvemonth, Professor Lupin was amid the most effective teachers to have taught, as many students under his tutelage agreed upon. He taught applied aspects during the lectures, fifty-fifty bringing in several night creatures in captivity equally visual aids, and assigned theoretical aspects for homework. He was also charismatic, earning the respect of his students, and therefore, making them want to larn from him.^{[21] [24] [25]} Lupin also gave his favourite educatee Harry Potter boosted lessons in how to perform the Patronus Amuse, so he could larn to combat Dementors.^[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the just teacher amongst their 5 (at the time) who knew what he was doing.

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

In the 1994–1995 school twelvemonth, Bartemius Hunker Junior, then disguised as Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,^[vii] believed firmly in a practical approach. Equally such, he taught the fourth-year class on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the 6th year, assertive they need to see it sooner.^[22] He even performed the Imperius Expletive on all the students as a means to teach them how to resist information technology.^[65] Although the students institute him to exist one of the most effective instructors (despite his true identity later being revealed to exist a criminal), the Ministry plant the lessons to be very controversial, and expressed their strong disapproval.^[18]

During the 1995–1996 schoolhouse yr, 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 regular army of young witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry.^[66] As such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to become the instructor of the Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts classes, which he believed to be the main source of training (east.one thousand. defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-exist soldiers.^[xviii]

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 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 form and refused to answer their questions any more than to silence them.^{[18] [29]} This misguided belief deprived the students on whatever useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the formation on Dumbledore's Army, which taught more than applied defence 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 yr, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Dark Arts every bit a unsafe and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must be as versatile as the foul arts they seek to disengage. He imposed a darker atmosphere in the classroom by dimmer lighting and macabre portraits in order to let the students to have a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Dark Arts can bring. Hermione concluded that Snape's ideals were very much the same as what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore'southward Regular army recruitment meeting: non but memorising a bunch of spells, simply to understand and react accordingly to the state of affairs at hand.^[20] As with Lupin and Hunker, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

Equally with every other form that required practical spells, sixth-years were taught nonverbal spell usage,^[20] and were expected to use them in class from so on.^[69]

In the 1997–1998 schoolhouse year, the class 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 practise the Cruciatus Curse on disobedient students,^[36] forth with the summoning of Fiendfyre.^[seventy]

First year

"The class everyone had really been looking frontward to was Defence Against the Dark Arts, but Quirrell'south lessons turned out to exist 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 be coming back to get him ane of these days."

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

Second year

"At present — be warned! It is my job to arm y'all against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind! Y'all may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room. Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am hither. All I enquire is that y'all remain calm. I must ask you not to scream. It might provoke them."

— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies^[src]

Third twelvemonth

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

— The tertiary twelvemonth Defense force Against the Night Arts exam in 1994^[src]

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

Fourth yr

"And then — straight into it. Curses. They come up in many strengths and forms. Now, according to the Ministry building of Magic, I'm supposed to teach you countercurses and leave it at that. I'grand not supposed to show you what illegal Dark curses look like until y'all're in the sixth year. You lot're not supposed to be former enough to deal with it till then. But Professor Dumbledore's got a higher opinion of your nerves, he reckons y'all can cope, and I say, the sooner you know what you're up against, the improve."

— Barty Crouch Jnr (disguised as Alastor Moody) on his approach 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 course.^[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 school year only and the Unforgivable Curses are usually covered in the sixth year N.East.West.T. course.^[22]

Fifth year

1988–1989 school year

"I am non but going to show you lot how to defend yourselves against the Nighttime Arts, simply how to assail the Dark Arts. You volition 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, but breaking curses is what I exercise best."

— Patricia Rakepick'due south approach to teaching the subject^[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, carefully balancing both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills.

1995–1996 school year

"Well now, your teaching in this subject has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't information technology? The abiding changing of teachers, many of whom do not seem to have followed any Ministry-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your beingness far below the standard we would expect to run into in your O.W.L. year. You volition be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to exist rectified. Nosotros volition exist following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-canonical form of defensive magic this year."

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

6th year

"Y'all will now dissever... into pairs. One partner will attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other volition endeavor to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on."

— A Due north.Eastward.W.T. lesson on nonverbal spells^[src]

Official curriculum

"I've decided to visit Hogwarts from fourth dimension to fourth dimension to teach you new defensive spells. This is all breezy, of form. I'm not replacing your professor, just tutoring."

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

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

Seventh year

Known professors

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defense Confronting the Nighttime Arts instructor, and that position is now as prophylactic every bit the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort'due south death bankrupt the jinx that kept a Defence Against the Night Arts professor from remaining for more than a yr."

— J. Yard. Rowling stated the jinx on the DADA postal service has been lifted^[src]

• Unidentified 19th-century Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (c. 1890) ^[98]
• Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) ^[2]
• 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 beginning of Voldemort'south jinx and when it was eventually broken, there was at to the lowest degree one professor per yr. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the yr earlier Harry began studying at Hogwarts) there could be around twenty-v different professors in the position.^[100]

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

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

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Grades

• All Aurors since it is a compulsory North.Due east.Westward.T.-level qualification; therefore O.W.50. must have been accomplished before that.^[32]

Behind the scenes

• When J. Grand. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that teaching Defence Against the Nighttime Arts would bring out Snape'due south worst side,^[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's sixth yr.^[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their conversation in Spinner'south Finish.^[108]
• Rowling has also revealed that afterwards Amycus Carrow was the Dark Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the postal service because Voldemort's 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 as well possible that (since the bailiwick had been jinxed) he was also thinking of Snape's physical well-being (not least of all because of how much of importance he could take been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore's fearfulness, however, Snape did not truly return to his old ways when granted the position he sought for, though he did teach the lessons with a sense of passion for the Dark Arts.
• Each Defense force Against the Night 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 after him as a werewolf (although he alone out of all the others would never have attacked Harry if he had been in his human course)
  • Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised every bit Moody) tried to kill him.
  • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Expletive (and had previously sent Dementors to assail him, though this was earlier she taught the discipline).
  • 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 force Against the Dark Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
• Dolores Umbridge was the just female person Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor in the series besides Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was not seen throughout the series, simply mentioned.
• The vi professors of this field of study who taught Harry each had a nighttime secret that he did not acquire until nigh the end of their corresponding schoolhouse 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 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 Half-Blood Prince.
• During his tenure as Potions Main, Severus Snape but accepted students who achieved an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. However, when Snape became the Defense force Against the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 school yr, students who achieved 'Exceeds Expectations' were still allowed to have the NEWT-level DADA classes.
• The only book to accept twice been assigned for this subject is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
• Near of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers in Harry'southward half dozen years at Hogwarts followed a like design: 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 before he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective year (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 Loving cup)
  • and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during schoolhouse term, either intentionally or accidentally, as in the case of Remus Lupin.
• In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defence Against the Nighttime Arts instructor would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't take much luck: "One sacked, i dead, one lost his retentivity, and ane was locked in a torso for 9 months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, even so, considering Lupin resigned rather than was fired. Also, Crouch Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry's fourth year, suffered the Dementor's Kiss.
• Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher known to accept 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 vii years of Harry's educational activity:
  1. Remus Lupin, for his off-white, popular and effective education methods.
  2. Severus Snape, for his effective, qualified nevertheless strict methods.
  3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, educational activity about himself more than about defense.
  4. Barty Crouch, for his allegiance with Voldemort, despite his actual education effectiveness.
  5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into but Dark Arts and his brutal bailiwick methods.
  6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the grade of whatever 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'southward sibling to the O.W.L. through an optional side quest, they will definitely gain at least an A, even if they fail to respond every question and perform whatsoever defensive spells.
• In the early video games, creatures such equally Burn Venereal, Burn Dwelling Salamanders (which are canonically small, non-ambitious lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defence force Against the Night Arts classes. However, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Observe Them confirms that these creatures are not night creatures, nor very dangerous, and Burn Crabs (a highly protected species) and Streelers (domesticated as pets) are in fact taught and handled in Care of Magical Creatures instead, pregnant their inclusion on the Defence Against the Dark Arts curriculum is non canon. Several games likewise depict gnomes as being covered in the class, which seems rather odd considering they are merely harmless (albeit annoying) garden pests, and are not considered dark or dangerous.
• Besides in the early video games, spells such as the Softening Charm or Seize and pull amuse are taught in this course, 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 one-4, in Gilderoy Lockhart's start Defense Against the Nighttime Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Amuse for combating Pixies.^[83] However, this lesson cannot be considered catechism, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson's delineation in the 2d book.
