Okay, I just noticed that, almost ANYWHERE Defense Against the Dark Arts class is mentioned, it is spelled "Defence." Is this some sort of crazy UK spelling that I'm unaware of, or is it seriously spelled wrong in just about every reference to the class?
- No, it is not a "crazy" UK spelling, it is simply the way the word is spelled in British English. --PKirlin 18:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there no article on crystal balls or tea leaf reading? The Recycling Troll
There probably should be, it isn't like those were made up for Harry Potter. -Arctic.gnome
I didn't even think that Snape was potentially cursed by the position, I thought Voldemort would have removed the curse. This puts an entirely new spin on my interpretation of events. --24.22.227.53 05:12, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
It also seems quite probable that the role of Head of Slytherin may be tied to that of Potions master, although, currently, this is no more than conjecture.
If that were true, wouldn't Slughorn have become Head of Slytherin in HBP? --209.86.18.237 07:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
Why is Rowling’s math ability cited as a reason for the 6th subject? I think she and her editor are good enough to handle single-digit subtraction. -Arctic.gnome
Where does it state in the books that Arithmancy is equivilent to numerology. It seems like this is a assumption. My understanding was that it was the use of mathematics to cast spells.
- Arithmancy is an existing subject, and there is no reason to assume that JKR changed the meaning for the books. —Cuiviénen 02:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Charms
I think that the paragraph on Charms is a little too flippant and colloquial for an encyclopedia entry. What does the noise level of the class or the fact that H/R/H have used it as a cover for conversations have anything to do with the class cirriculum? I think it needs to be cleaned up. I might take a stab at it myself later, if no one has any objections. PantherFoxie 17:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Accidental Revert
Please could someone revert my edit to the previous edit by Trapolator? Michaelsanders 11:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] That's it?
So wizards have no arts or social studies? --24.235.229.208 18:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not that have been mentioned in the books. There was that choir in one of the films, but nobody knows much of anything about it. --PKirlin 19:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
