Why Did Harry Become a Defense Against the Dark Arts Job

Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts (abbreviated as DADA) was a field of study taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.^[thirteen] In this grade, students studied and learnt how to defend themselves confronting all aspects of the Nighttime Arts, including dark creatures,^{[21] [24] [25]} curses, hexes and jinxes (nighttime charms),^[22] and duelling.^[xx]

The class was a core subject at Hogwarts.^[26] The position of Defense force Against the Dark Arts professor at the school was in one case rumoured to be jinxed, as no instructor could hold the mail service for more than than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did not give him the job when he applied for it.^[2] The fact that no instructor has lasted longer than a year meant that the subject had numerous Professors over the years.^[20]

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

Class information

"The Dark Arts, are many, varied, always-changing, and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. Yous are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore exist every bit flexible and inventive as the arts you lot seek to undo."

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

Defence force Against the Dark Arts was a required subject from first twelvemonth to 5th yr.^{[26] [18]} The curriculum of the grade varied greatly depending on what the professor at the fourth dimension deemed appropriate. Due to the jinx on the educational activity post that was present before Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.^[ii]

A third year practical exam, an obstruction class

Tom Riddle twice applied for the Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts position, the first time shortly after graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned down past Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was too young but invited him to re-apply a few years later on.

Many years later, after becoming steeped in the Dark Arts and starting to employ the championship "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied once more, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused once again. According to Albus Dumbledore, later the second refusal, no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher held the post for more than one 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.^[2]

1994 Defence Confronting the Night Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

The lessons generally 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] [20]} with theoretical assignments given equally homework.^[28] Inadequate teachers, such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge, who were focused on theories alone, hampered the learning of defences equally they would not be providing students any practical experiences.^{[18] [29]}

In the fifth year, Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations were taken; as such, students spent their time learning new topics and possibly revisiting the past four years of lessons (depending on the teacher). As part of their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L., students had to sit a written exam one of the questions asks to draw the five signs of a werewolf^[thirty] and after students must complete a applied exam of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Charm (for bonus points).^[31]

To accelerate to the Northward.E.W.T. grade, a educatee had to first achieve a high O.W.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; nigh teachers prepare the bar at "Exceeds Expectations".^[32]

Also, due to the course beingness directly related to the Night 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,^[seven] Dolores Umbridge,^[35] Severus Snape^[nine] and Amycus Carrow.^[36]

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were two known students who failed their O.West.Fifty.s in Defence Against the Dark Arts, for which the post-obit twelvemonth's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.^[37]

The Defence Against the Nighttime Arts teacher was also responsible for dealing with any Nighttime Arts related activities that threaten the schoolhouse 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]

Location and time

Classrooms

Defence Against the Dark Arts classes took place on the kickoff-floor, Grade 104 in the Northward Belfry and Classroom 3C on the tertiary-flooring. In Classroom 3C, an iron chandelier hung from the ceiling, every bit well every bit a dragon'southward skeleton.^[14] On one end of the classroom stood a projector that was activated by magic. Several desks and tables could be found in the classroom as well every bit some sets of large windows.^[17]

Curriculum

"You take had five teachers in this bailiwick 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.L. in this subject. I shall be fifty-fifty more than surprised if all of you manage to keep up with Northward.Eastward.W.T. work, which volition exist 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 cleaved, the curriculum of Defense force Against the Night Arts varied from yr to year.^{[xx] [2]} Each instructor had their own priorities and way of teaching, 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 enough (which were, in fact, more hindering),^[29] while the more constructive Remus Lupin,^[21] Bartemius Crouch Junior^[22] (then disguised as Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)^[seven] 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 simply in the 1994–1995 schoolhouse year that this was inverse to the fourth year.^[22]

Earlier teachers from the 1985–1986 school year for example, were considered highly incompetent and ineffective by well-nigh students, and as such, very rarely showed up to teach.^{[40] [41] [42] [43]}

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

During the 1988–1989 school year, the renowned Expletive-Breaker Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for that academic year.^[iii] She proved herself to be a highly effective teacher of both defensive and offensive magic, having taught her students a wide variety of fascinating and useful topics during her lessons, to recoup her students for having learnt near nothing in previous years. She even gave her select students private lessons in the subject, instruction 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 teaching a group of sixth-years DADA in the evening

During the 1989–1990 school year, Bill Weasley was given permission past Albus Dumbledore to teach actress-curricular evening classes in this field of study to students afterward graduating the school, due to the ineffectiveness of the teaching that yr.^[57] He continued educational activity these lessons in the 1990–1991 schoolhouse year too.^[58]

Quirrell teaching Defence Against the Nighttime Arts

In the 1991–1992 school year, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,^[59] which, four years later on, the Ministry deemed he was the only instructor before Dolores Umbridge to be of adequate standards. However, the Ministry at the fourth dimension was corrupt and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell'due south 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" Defence force Against the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 school year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught nothing to the classes of his respective tenure, bated from nonsensical and unrelated materials, because that he was hired solely past Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him as a fraud to the globe.^[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 defenseless" Cornish Pixies),^[23] and his thought of homework was for the class to etch a poem of i of his alleged achievements with the offering of a signed copy of his autobiography to the best composer.^[61]

Lockhart but using the course to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the merely affair he learned from it was "not to prepare pixies loose", and expressed his want to drib out of the course mainly of Lockhart's incompetence.^[62] In late 1992, Lockhart besides established a very before long lived and unsuccessful Duelling Club with the help of Severus Snape, in an attempt to teach students how to defend themselves; the order only had one meeting which resulted in complete chaos.^[63]

Lupin teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts

In the 1993–1994 school twelvemonth, Professor Lupin was among the most constructive teachers to accept taught, as many students under his tutelage agreed upon. He taught practical aspects during the lectures, even bringing in several dark creatures in captivity as visual aids, and assigned theoretical aspects for homework. He was too charismatic, earning the respect of his students, and therefore, making them want to learn from him.^{[21] [24] [25]} Lupin also gave his favourite pupil Harry Potter additional lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, so he could larn to combat Dementors.^[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the only teacher amid their five (at the fourth dimension) who knew what he was doing.

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

In the 1994–1995 school yr, Bartemius Crouch Junior, then disguised equally Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,^[seven] believed firmly in a practical approach. As such, he taught the 4th-year course on the Unforgivable Curses that were normally reserved for the sixth year, assertive they need to see information technology sooner.^[22] He even performed the Imperius Curse on all the students every bit a ways to teach them how to resist it.^[65] Although the students found him to be 1 of the most constructive instructors (despite his true identity afterwards beingness revealed to be a criminal), the Ministry constitute the lessons to exist very controversial, and expressed their stiff disapproval.^[18]

During the 1995–1996 school year, 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 private army of immature witches and wizards to overthrow the Ministry.^[66] As such, he implanted Dolores Umbridge to become the teacher of the Defence Against the Night Arts classes, which he believed to be the primary source of training (e.m. defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-exist soldiers.^[18]

Umbridge "teaching" Defense Against the Nighttime Arts

Umbridge supplied a syllabus based entirely on the theory of conflict rather facing them, all of which was only reading out of the textbook, believing that this would exist sufficient in passing the examinations. Furthermore, she herself did not teach the students, as she had them read the textbooks quietly in class and refused to respond their questions whatsoever more than to silence them.^{[eighteen] [29]} This misguided conventionalities deprived the students on any useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the germination on Dumbledore's Army, which taught more 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 inappropriate for students at their ages.^[68]

In the 1996–1997 school year, Professor Snape taught his classes to respect the Dark Arts as a dangerous and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must be as 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 lodge to allow the students to have a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Dark Arts tin bring. Hermione concluded that Snape's ideals were very much the same as what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore'due south Army recruitment coming together: non simply memorising a agglomeration of spells, merely to empathise and react appropriately to the situation at hand.^[20] As with Lupin and Hunker, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

As with every other form that required practical spells, 6th-years were taught nonverbal spell usage,^[20] and were expected to use them in class from then on.^[69]

In the 1997–1998 school year, the class was inverse to Nighttime Arts during Voldemort's takeover of the schoolhouse. It was taught by the Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who taught students how to perform the Unforgivable Curses, with a particular accent with ordering students to practise the Cruciatus Curse on ill-behaved students,^[36] along with the summoning of Fiendfyre.^[70]

First year

"The class everyone had really been looking forrad to was Defence force Against the Nighttime Arts, but Quirrell'southward lessons turned out to be a fleck of a joke. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic, which anybody said was to ward off a vampire he'd met in Romania and was afraid would exist coming back to get him one of these days."

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

2nd twelvemonth

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

— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies^[src]

Third year

"Professor Lupin had complied the near unusual exam any of them had ever taken; a sort of obstruction course outside in the sun, where they had to wade across a deep paddling puddle containing a Grindylow, cross a series of potholes total of Cherry Caps, squish their manner across a patch of marsh while ignoring misleading directions from a Hinkypunk, then climb into an erstwhile trunk and boxing with a new Boggart."

— The third twelvemonth Defense Against the Dark Arts exam in 1994^[src]

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

4th twelvemonth

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

— Barty Hunker Jnr (bearded 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 Expletive, in which Harry Potter was the simply one successful in his form.^[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 schoolhouse yr only and the Unforgivable Curses are usually covered in the sixth year N.E.W.T. form.^[22]

5th year

1988–1989 schoolhouse year

"I am not simply going to show you how to defend yourselves against the Dark Arts, but how to attack the Dark Arts. Yous volition receive the finest instruction from someone who has really faced the worst that the Dark Arts has to offer. They say this position is cursed, simply breaking curses is what I do 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 broad multitude of highly interesting and useful topics, carefully balancing both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills.

1995–1996 school year

"Well at present, your education in this subject area has been rather disrupted and fragmented, hasn't it? 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 nosotros would look to see in your O.West.L. yr. You volition be pleased to know, however, that these problems are at present to exist rectified. We will be following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry building-approved course of defensive magic this year."

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

Sixth twelvemonth

"Y'all will at present carve up... into pairs. One partner volition attempt to jinx the other without speaking. The other will attempt to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on."

— A N.E.Due west.T. lesson on nonverbal spells^[src]

Official curriculum

"I've decided to visit Hogwarts from time to fourth dimension to teach y'all new defensive spells. This is all breezy, of course. I'chiliad not replacing your professor, simply tutoring."

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

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

Seventh year

Known professors

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor, and that position is at present as safe every bit the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort'due south death broke the jinx that kept a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year."

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

• Unidentified 19th-century Defence Against the Night Arts professor (c. 1890) ^[98]
• Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) ^[two]
• 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 fourth dimension between the beginning of Voldemort's jinx and when it was somewhen broken, there was at to the lowest degree one professor per year. Therefore, betwixt c. 1965 and 1990 (the year before Harry began studying at Hogwarts) there could be around 20-5 different professors in the position.^[100]

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

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

Behind the scenes

• When J. K. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that teaching Defense Against the Night Arts would bring out Snape'due south worst side,^[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's sixth year.^[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their conversation in Spinner's End.^[108]
• Rowling has also revealed that after Amycus Carrow was the Dark Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the post because Voldemort'southward 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 also possible that (since the subject had been jinxed) he was also thinking of Snape'due south physical well-being (not least of all because of how much of importance he could have been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore's fright, yet, Snape did non truly render 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 Dark Arts teacher attacked (or attempted to assail) 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 take attacked Harry if he had been in his man form)
  • Barty Hunker Jnr (disguised as Moody) tried to kill 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 field).
  • Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for Harry trying to expletive him during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
  • Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Dark Arts instead of Defence Against the Nighttime Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
• Dolores Umbridge was the just female Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in the serial also Galatea Merrythought; Galatea was non seen throughout the series, but mentioned.
• The six professors of this subject area who taught Harry each had a night secret that he did not learn until nearly the end of their corresponding 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 Hunker Jnr, an escaped Expiry 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-Claret 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. Yet, when Snape became the Defense Confronting the Nighttime Arts instructor in the 1996–1997 school year, students who accomplished 'Exceeds Expectations' were yet allowed to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
• The only volume to have twice been assigned for this subject field is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
• Most of the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teachers in Harry's six years at Hogwarts followed a similar pattern: 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 teacher and the absenteeism of other applicants
  • each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the corresponding twelvemonth (with the exception of Mad-Eye Moody, who was only mentioned in passing, although Harry had unknowingly encountered Barty Crouch Jnr at the Quidditch Earth Loving cup)
  • and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during schoolhouse term, either intentionally or accidentally, equally 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 teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't have much luck: "Ane sacked, i dead, one lost his retention, and one was locked in a torso for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, still, considering Lupin resigned rather than was fired. As well, Crouch Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry's fourth year, suffered the Dementor's Kiss.
• Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Against The Night Arts teacher known to accept died during the year he gave the bailiwick.
• According to Pottermore, from the best to worst Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher during the 7 years of Harry's teaching:
  1. Remus Lupin, for his off-white, pop and effective educational activity methods.
  2. Severus Snape, for his constructive, qualified yet strict methods.
  3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, pedagogy nearly himself more almost defence.
  4. Barty Crouch, for his fidelity with Voldemort, despite his actual instruction effectiveness.
  5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into just Dark Arts and his barbarous discipline methods.
  6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the course 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'southward 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, Fire Home Salamanders (which are canonically small, non-aggressive lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defence force Against the Night Arts classes. However, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them confirms that these creatures are not dark creatures, nor very dangerous, and Fire Crabs (a highly protected species) and Streelers (domesticated every bit pets) are in fact taught and handled in Care of Magical Creatures instead, meaning their inclusion on the Defence Against the Nighttime Arts curriculum is not catechism. Several games also depict gnomes every bit being covered in the class, which seems rather odd considering they are merely harmless (albeit annoying) garden pests, and are not considered night or unsafe.
• Besides 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 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's first Defense force Against the Nighttime Arts lesson, Lockhart teaches his students the Freezing Charm for combating Pixies.^[83] However, this lesson cannot be considered catechism, since it fundamentally contrasts this lesson's delineation in the 2nd book.
