New Hogwarts Staff

If Hogwarts does reopen in The Deathly Hallows, then there are several teaching positions that must be filled.  Of course, there will have to be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher.  Will it be a brand-new character, as all of the teachers in previous books have been or will it be someone we’ve met before?  Is there anyone who is capable at this point?

Professor McGonagall, now Headmaster of Hogwarts, will probably need someone to fill her shoes in the Transfiguration classroom.  Again, will it be a familiar face or someone we’ve never met?

Lastly,  we do not yet know if Professor Slughorn will be teaching Potions again, or if he will also require a replacement.  Would you like to see him at Hogwarts again or would you rather there be someone new to take his place?

 

Quiz Question – 5/23

From now on there will be a daily quiz question.  Feel free to comment with the answer or hints.  The answer will be revealed the following day.  Have fun!

Quiz Question 1:

When sitting on the wall next to Professor Dumbledore at the beginning of Book 1, who does Professor McGonagall bet was the wizard responsible for the shooting stars seen by Muggles over Kent?

 

Will Hogwarts Reopen?

Scholastic’s third question is one that has been discussed at length by many fans since the 6th Book.  We were left to wonder whether or not Hogwarts would be allowed to reopen.  It is hard to imagine a Hogwarts without Dumbledore, and there is a question of the students’ safety.   But what do you think?  Will Hogwarts reopen?  And if they do, will Hermione, Ron, and Harry be attending for their final year?

It is my own opinion that Hogwarts has to reopen for the next year.  Like Professor Sprout said, “I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil.”  However, I do not believe Ron, Hermione, or Harry will be attending, but they will be visiting the school at some point to find answers.  Do you agree?
