All 6 teachers for “Defense Against the Dark Arts” from Harry Potter in the Ranking – Who does their job the best?
Whether the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher truly deserves a spot on this list remains unknown. This position is considered cursed among Hogwarts students. Whether there is really something to it, or if it is just a series of unfortunate coincidences, we do not know. However, it is a fact that the position must be filled by a new teacher every year.
All the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers we get to know in Harry Potter inevitably suffer a dire fate sooner or later. Quirrell, Lupin, Snape, Barty Crouch Jr. (and his alias Mad Eye Moody) die. Lockhart falls victim to his own memory charm and Umbridge is captured and later arrested by centaurs. Anyone who believes in bad omens should steer clear of this job.
