Why Is There Always a New Defense Against the Dark Arts

Defence 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.^[thirteen] 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 (dark 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, every bit no teacher could hold the mail for more than than a year without suffering an unpleasant fate. Tom Riddle jinxed the position because Albus Dumbledore did non requite him the chore when he applied for it.^[2] The fact that no teacher has lasted longer than a twelvemonth meant that the subject field had numerous Professors over the years.^[twenty]

Ilvermorny began instruction the subject in the 17th century.^[13] 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, ever-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. You lot are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible. Your defences must therefore be equally flexible and inventive as the arts yous seek to undo."

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

Defence Confronting the Dark Arts was a required subject from beginning year to fifth year.^{[26] [eighteen]} The curriculum of the class varied greatly depending on what the professor at the time deemed appropriate. Due to the jinx on the teaching mail that was present before Lord Voldemort died, many teachers had been appointed to this post.^[ii]

A third twelvemonth practical exam, an obstruction class

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

Many years subsequently, after becoming steeped in the Night Arts and starting to use the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied once again, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused again. Co-ordinate to Albus Dumbledore, after the second refusal, no Defense force Against the Dark Arts instructor held the post for more than one school yr. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a jinx on the position, a belief that was popularly spread throughout the school.^[ii]

1994 Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson on the Unforgivable Curses

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

In the 5th 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). Every bit part of their Defence Against the Nighttime Arts O.W.L., students had to sit down a written examination i of the questions asks to draw the five signs of a werewolf^[30] and after students must consummate a practical exam of; counter-jinxes, defensive spells, the Boggart-Banishing Spell, and the Patronus Amuse (for bonus points).^[31]

To advance to the N.Due east.W.T. course, a student had to first achieve a loftier O.Due west.L. score of either "Outstanding" or "Exceeds Expectations"; near teachers set the bar at "Exceeds Expectations".^[32]

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

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were 2 known students who failed their O.West.L.s in Defence Against the Dark Arts, for which the post-obit yr'southward respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions.^[37]

The Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts instructor was also responsible for dealing with whatsoever Dark Arts related activities that threaten the school and its residents, as Harry and Ron expected Lockhart to enter the Sleeping accommodation 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]

Curriculum

"You have had 5 teachers in this subject and so far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers will all have had their own methods and priorities. Given this confusion I am surprised so many of y'all scraped an O.W.L. in this discipline. I shall be even more surprised if all of you manage to keep up with N.E.W.T. piece of work, which volition exist much more avant-garde."

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

Due to the abiding changing of teachers until the jinx created by Voldemort was cleaved, the curriculum of Defence Against the Nighttime Arts varied from year to year.^{[xx] [2]} Each teacher had their own priorities and manner of teaching, and their own respective efficiency proportional to his or her beliefs and methods,^[20] such as 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] (so disguised equally Alastor Moody with Polyjuice Potion)^[7] and Severus Snape^[20] had a more balanced belief in theory and practical defence.

Sixth-years were supposed to exist given demonstrations on what illegal curses looked like; it was only in the 1994–1995 school year that this was changed to the fourth year.^[22]

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

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

During the 1988–1989 school twelvemonth, the renowned Curse-Breaker Patricia Rakepick was appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor for that academic year.^[3] She proved herself to exist 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 virtually nothing in previous years. She fifty-fifty gave her select students private lessons in the subject, teaching them how to duel, in training for locating the Cursed Vaults throughout the Castle.^{[3] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [l] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]}

Bill Weasley teaching a group of 6th-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 twelvemonth equally well.^[58]

Quirrell didactics Defense force Against the Nighttime Arts

In the 1991–1992 school year, Quirinus Quirrell taught mainly theoretical knowledge,^[59] which, 4 years afterwards, the Ministry accounted he was the only instructor before Dolores Umbridge to be of acceptable standards. However, the Ministry at the fourth dimension was decadent and paranoid, thus their evaluation of Quirrell'southward 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 caused many students consider his classes to be a joke, and failed to take him seriously.^{[26] [59]}

Lockhart "education" Defense force Against the Dark Arts

In the 1992–1993 schoolhouse year, Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, taught nothing to the classes of his respective tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials, considering that he was hired solely by Albus Dumbledore for the purpose of ousting him equally a fraud to the earth.^[lx] His lectures were merely storytelling and theatrical re-enactments from his books, since his first applied lesson concluded 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 offer of a signed copy of his autobiography to the best composer.^[61]

Lockhart simply using the course to promote his uninformative publications, Ron Weasley claimed that the just matter he learned from it was "non to ready pixies loose", and expressed his desire to drop out of the grade mainly of Lockhart's incompetence.^[62] In tardily 1992, Lockhart also established a very presently lived and unsuccessful Duelling Club with the aid of Severus Snape, in an endeavor to teach students how to defend themselves; the club only had ane coming together which resulted in consummate chaos.^[63]

Lupin teaching Defence force Confronting the Dark Arts

In the 1993–1994 school year, Professor Lupin was amid the well-nigh effective teachers to accept taught, every bit many students nether 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 also charismatic, earning the respect of his students, and therefore, making them want to acquire from him.^{[21] [24] [25]} Lupin besides gave his favourite student Harry Potter additional lessons in how to perform the Patronus Charm, then he could larn to combat Dementors.^[64] Hermione Granger claimed he was the only teacher amid their five (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 yr, Bartemius Crouch Junior, then disguised as Alastor Moody using Polyjuice Potion,^[7] believed firmly in a practical arroyo. As such, he taught the fourth-year class on the Unforgivable Curses that were commonly reserved for the sixth year, assertive they demand to see it sooner.^[22] He fifty-fifty performed the Imperius Curse on all the students every bit a means to teach them how to resist it.^[65] Although the students found him to be one of the most effective instructors (despite his true identity later beingness revealed to be a criminal), the Ministry found the lessons to exist very controversial, and expressed their strong disapproval.^[18]

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

Umbridge "educational activity" Defence Against the Nighttime 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 exist sufficient in passing the examinations. Furthermore, she herself did not teach the students, as she had them read the textbooks quietly in course and refused to answer their questions any more than to silence them.^{[xviii] [29]} This misguided conventionalities deprived the students on whatsoever useful lessons equally even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the formation on Dumbledore'southward Army, which taught more than practical defence that students from all grades establish 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 every bit a unsafe and ever-evolving opponent, and that their defences must exist as versatile as 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 take a firmer understanding of the sufferings the Dark Arts tin can bring. Hermione ended that Snape'due south ideals were very much the same as what Harry Potter expressed during the Dumbledore's Army recruitment coming together: not simply memorising a bunch of spells, but to sympathise and react appropriately to the state of affairs at hand.^[twenty] As with Lupin and Crouch, Snape taught practically during the lectures, and assigned theories for homework.

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

In the 1997–1998 schoolhouse year, the grade was changed to Dark Arts during Voldemort'south takeover of the school. Information technology was taught past the Death Eater Amycus Carrow, who taught students how to perform the Unforgivable Curses, with a item emphasis with ordering students to practise the Cruciatus Curse on disobedient students,^[36] along with the summoning of Fiendfyre.^[70]

First year

"The form anybody had actually been looking forward to was Defence Confronting the Dark Arts, but Quirrell'south lessons turned out to be 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 exist coming dorsum to get him one of these days."

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

2nd yr

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

— Lockhart introducing Cornish Pixies^[src]

Tertiary year

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

— The tertiary twelvemonth Defence Confronting the Dark Arts exam in 1994^[src]

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

Fourth year

"So — straight into it. Curses. They come in many strengths and forms. At present, according to the Ministry of Magic, I'm supposed to teach you countercurses and leave it at that. I'1000 not supposed to prove you what illegal Night curses look similar until you're in the sixth year. You lot're not supposed to be erstwhile plenty to deal with it till then. Just Professor Dumbledore'due south got a college opinion of your nerves, he reckons you tin can cope, and I say, the sooner yous know what y'all're up against, the better."

— Barty Hunker 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 just i successful in his class.^[65] These demonstrations were during the 1994-1995 school year only and the Unforgivable Curses are usually covered in the sixth twelvemonth N.E.West.T. class.^[22]

Fifth yr

1988–1989 school twelvemonth

"I am non just going to show yous how to defend yourselves against the Dark Arts, but how to set on the Nighttime Arts. Yous will receive the finest educational activity from someone who has actually faced the worst that the Dark Arts has to offer. They say this position is cursed, simply breaking curses is what I exercise best."

— Patricia Rakepick's approach to didactics the subject^[src]

Patricia Rakepick was the Professor in this subject field for the 1988–1989 school twelvemonth, 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 it? The constant changing of teachers, many of whom practice not seem to have followed any Ministry-approved curriculum, has unfortunately resulted in your being far below the standard we would expect to see in your O.West.50. year. You will exist pleased to know, however, that these issues are now to be rectified. Nosotros will be following a carefully structured, theory-centred, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic this year."

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

Sixth year

"Y'all will at present divide... into pairs. Ane partner will endeavor to jinx the other without speaking. The other will endeavour to repel the jinx in equal silence. Carry on."

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

Official curriculum

"I've decided to visit Hogwarts from time to time to teach you new defensive spells. This is all informal, of course. I'm not replacing your professor, just tutoring."

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

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

7th year

Known professors

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"There is a new Defence Against the Nighttime Arts instructor, and that position is now as safe as the other didactics posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort's death bankrupt the jinx that kept a Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts professor from remaining for more than a twelvemonth."

— J. 1000. Rowling stated the jinx on the DADA post has been lifted^[src]

• Unidentified 19th-century Defense force Against the Nighttime Arts professor (c. 1890) ^[98]
• Galatea Merrythought (?–1945) ^[2]
• Unidentified professor (1984–1985) ^[40]
• Unidentified professor (1985–1986) ^[41]

• Unidentified professor (1987–1988) ^[43]
• Unidentified professor (1989–1990) ^[57]
• Unidentified professor (1998–?) ^[99]

During the time between the beginning of Voldemort's jinx and when it was eventually broken, there was at least ane professor per year. Therefore, between c. 1965 and 1990 (the year before Harry began studying at Hogwarts) in that location could be around xx-five different professors in the position.^[100]

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

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

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

Behind the scenes

• When J. 1000. Rowling was asked why Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts job, Rowling responded that Dumbledore believed that teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts would bring out Snape'due south worst side,^[106] though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry'southward sixth year.^[107] Snape admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their conversation in Spinner's Stop.^[108]
• Rowling has likewise revealed that after Amycus Carrow was the Dark Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the mail because Voldemort's jinx over the job was lifted.
• Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did not wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fright of relapsing into his Death Eater ways, information technology is also possible that (since the bailiwick had been jinxed) he was as well thinking of Snape's 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'southward fear, however, Snape did not truly return to his sometime ways when granted the position he sought for, though he did teach the lessons with a sense of passion for the Nighttime Arts.
• Each Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor attacked (or attempted to assault) Harry.
  • Quirrell tried to strangle Harry and jinxed his broom during a Quidditch game.
  • Lockhart attempted to erase his memories
  • Lupin went after him equally a werewolf (although he alone out of all the others would never have attacked Harry if he had been in his man form)
  • Barty Crouch Jnr (disguised every bit Moody) tried to kill him.
  • Umbridge physically assaulted him and threatened him with the Cruciatus Curse (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 Dark Arts instead of Defense Confronting the Dark Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after Amycus had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
• Dolores Umbridge was the only female person Defence Confronting the Dark Arts instructor in the series likewise 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 acquire 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 actually Barty Hunker Jnr, an escaped Decease 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 only accustomed students who accomplished an 'Outstanding' on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. Nonetheless, when Snape became the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 school year, students who achieved 'Exceeds Expectations' were nevertheless allowed to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
• The simply book to accept twice been assigned for this discipline is The Night Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
• Most of the Defence Against 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 instructor; each was called out of necessity, due to the loss of the previous instructor and the absence of other applicants
  • each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective year (with the exception of Mad-Heart 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 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 Confronting the Dark Arts teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't accept much luck: "I sacked, one expressionless, one lost his retentiveness, and one was locked in a torso for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't truthful, nonetheless, considering Lupin resigned rather than was fired. Likewise, Hunker Jnr, the de facto teacher for Harry's 4th year, suffered the Dementor'south Kiss.
• Quirinus Quirrell is the only Defence Confronting The Nighttime Arts teacher known to accept died during the yr he gave the subject.
• According to Pottermore, from the best to worst Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher during the seven years of Harry's education:
  1. Remus Lupin, for his fair, popular and effective teaching methods.
  2. Severus Snape, for his effective, qualified nonetheless strict methods.
  3. Gilderoy Lockhart, for his fraudulence, instruction about himself more than about defence.
  4. Barty Crouch, for his allegiance with Voldemort, despite his actual didactics effectiveness.
  5. Amycus Carrow, for turning the class into merely Dark Arts and his roughshod discipline methods.
  6. Dolores Umbridge, for depriving the class of whatsoever 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's sibling to the O.W.L. through an optional side quest, they will definitely gain at least an A, fifty-fifty if they fail to reply every question and perform any defensive spells.
• In the early video games, creatures such equally Burn Crabs, Fire Domicile Salamanders (which are canonically small, not-aggressive lizards) and Streelers are covered in Defence Confronting the Nighttime Arts classes. All the same, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them confirms that these creatures are non nighttime 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, meaning their inclusion on the Defence Confronting the Dark Arts curriculum is non canon. Several games likewise describe gnomes as being covered in the class, which seems rather odd because they are simply harmless (admitting abrasive) 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 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-four, in Gilderoy Lockhart'due south outset Defence 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'south depiction in the second book.
