Transfiguration[/b]
Info: Transfiguration is essentially the art of changing the properties of an object. Transfiguration is a theory-based subject, including topics such as "Switching Spells" (altering only a part of some object, such as giving a human rabbit's ears); Vanishing Spells (causing an object to completely disappear); and Conjuring Spells (creating objects out of thin air). It is possible to change inanimate objects into animate ones and vice versa.
Teacher: None
Defence Against The Dark Arts[/b]
Info: Commonly shortened to D.A.D.A., this class teaches defensive techniques to block spells, charms, curses, hexes and jinxes cast by other wizards, counteract the Dark Arts, and to be protected from Dark creatures.
Teacher: None
Charms
Info: Charms is a type of magic spell concerned with giving an object new and unexpected properties. Charms classes are described as notoriously noisy and chaotic, as the lessons are largely practical.
Teacher: None
Potion[/b]
Info: Potions is the art of creating mixtures with magical effects. It requires the correct mixing and stirring of ingredients at the right times and temperatures. It is related to Chemistry, but with a more sinister twist.
Teacher: None
Astronomy[/b]
Info: Astronomy is the only field of study at Hogwarts which has a direct equivalent in the Muggle world. Astronomy classes take place in the Astronomy Tower, the tallest tower in Hogwarts. Lessons involve observations of the night skies with telescopes.
Teacher: None

Teacher: None
Herbology[/b]
Info: The study of magical plants and how to take care of, utilise and/or combat them.

Teacher: None
Ancient Runes
Info: A mostly theoretical subject that studies the ancient runic scripts.
Teacher: None
Divination
Info: Divination is the art of predicting the future. Various methods are tea leaves, fire omens, crystal balls, palmistry, cartomancy (including the reading of conventional playing cards and the tarot), astrology, and dream interpretations.[/i]

Care Of Magical Creatures
Info: This subject instructs students about and how to care for magical beasts. Classes are held outside the castle.
Teacher: None
Muggle Studies
Info: This course involves the study of Muggles "from a wizarding point of view". There is apparently a need for witches and wizards to learn about Muggle ways and means, if only to ensure they are able to avoid them or blend in.
Teacher: None
Flying[/b]
Info: The use of enchanted broomsticks is taught to first years only in Hogwarts' only physical-education class.
Teacher: None
Apparition
Info: Apparition, the art of magically disappearing from one place and reappearing in another, requires a license and may only be legally performed by people over seventeen years of age. The described reason for the restriction is that Apparition is dangerous if done improperly: body parts can be left behind in an unfortunate side-effect known as "splinching."
