Magic can be quite difficult to control – but luckily, the professors at Hogwarts are ready to help young wizards in harnessing their skills.
Hogwarts’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is packed to the brim with scholars, academics, and sorcerers all dedicated to uncovering the secrets of magic.
Through their study of arcane texts, experimentation, and exploration of mystical places, the professors in Harry Potter have more than enough know-how to teach their young wards. Except for Madam Dolores, that is.
Just like in our own Muggle schools, every professor at Hogwarts has a different style in teaching. Magic has many aspects, after all. A technical class like Potions might be suited to close study, patience, and theory, whereas a combat-based subject such as Defense Against the Dark Arts would be better off instructed through hands-on activities and demonstrations.
Additionally, each professor has a distinct attitude and traits in teaching their lessons, harkening to many wizarding archetypes around the world. We’ve got the wise, bearded dude, the tortured genius, eccentric but lovable weirdos, and everything else.
Suppose you’ve finally landed a job teaching at Hogwarts. What subject would you teach? How would you build rapport with your students? Which Harry Potter professor are you? Take our quiz and sort it out yourself!

Being a werewolf, Remus found it hard to get employed due to the violent and uncontrollable tendencies of his lycanthropic form. Werewolves were ostracized from much of the wizarding world, and many resorted to doing menial labor and odd jobs like Remus.
While being called to teach at Hogwarts, Remus resided in a run-down shack and had various side jobs to save money in case his condition was ever discovered. His friend, James Potter, also helped him stay afloat while he stayed in hiding.
