Harry Potter's universe is one of the most interesting in literature and cinema, but some of the ideas put forward there make no sense compared to the world of the Muggles. Specifically, certain classes at Hogwarts can create a series of doubts in fans who do not understand why teachers or students act in a particular way.
Most fanatics are so involved in the story that they imagine themselves as Hogwarts students: they know which house they belong to, which profession they prefer, and what kind of wand they would use. Still, these fans know that there are some inconsistencies, which do not affect the plot, but which make them think about why things were set up this way in the wizarding world.
10 The Absence Of Technology
The Muggle world has a lot of technological advances in the Harry Potter universe, as it is similar to today. However, in the magic world, wizards use many medieval artifacts.
In Hogwarts' classes it is possible to observe these details, for example, when children write with quills and ink; also, they use owls to communicate with their parents. They probably rely more on their magic and the traditions they have maintained for years.
9 Untrained Teachers
Hogwarts is supposed to be one of the best schools of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, for that reason its staff includes some of the best in their area; but on the other hand, hiring certain teachers has been a rather poor decision on Dumbledore's part.
Among the most questioned is Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who was one of the worst teachers to be hired at the school. In addition, the hiring was quite unwise considering that the subject he was teaching was Defense Against the Dark Arts, a major class for a wizard, especially in the days when they were living with the threat of Voldemort.
8 The School Curriculum
Harry Potter fans are fascinated by the classes available to students, but they also wonder why they do not have access to other subjects such as literature, mathematics, history or geography.
Some of the classes that students take during their years at Hogwarts are Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Astronomy, Flying, Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology and History of Magic. There is another group of non-essential classes, which students may choose not to take, such as Muggle studies, which seem important, because after all, many of them interact with Muggles everyday.
7 Very Dangerous For Children
Hogwarts is one of the safest places on the planet, but it doesn't seem so because of the events that occur every year. Some of the classes are also quite dangerous for the age of the children, yet, every year they continue to teach it regardless of the accidents that happen.
For example, flying lessons (although awesome) don't seem very safe for an 11-year-old; Neville broke his arm in the first class when he fell off his broom. Kids are also exposed to the mandrake during their second year, and the scream of this plant can cause death to the person who hears it.
6 Without Sports Classes
At Hogwarts, students are apparently not encouraged to play sports. Apart from a few students playing Quidditch, the rest of the students are never seen exercising or doing any kind of sport.
During the time that Harry, Hermione and Ron attended Hogwarts, they were seen taking theory and practice classes on witchcraft and wizardry, but they never had to run around a field, bounce a ball or do abs, in contrast to the real world where sport is one of the classes that all students must take on a regular basis.
5 The Competitiveness And Rivalry Of The Houses
All the fans love everything about Hogwarts houses and imagine themselves belonging to one of them. But it must be recognized that they provoke separation and rivalry among students.
In each class, students earn points that accumulate until the end of the year, and during the final ceremony the house with the best score is awarded. Although learning to compete is good for the students, it can also create an atmosphere of enmity between the kids in the different houses, who are separated and classified from day one.
4 Monsters In Class
Dumbledore knew that Hagrid lived in his own world, where (according to Hagrid) magical creatures and monsters did not pose any danger; yet he put him in charge of one of the classes.
All the fanatics celebrated Hagrid's opportunity to demonstrate his knowledge, but some of his teaching decisions may be questioned, such as the book selected for the class (The Monster Book of Monsters), which seemed quite dangerous to the students.
3 Snape's Harassment
Severus Snape is one of the most misunderstood characters, but despite his loyalty to Dumbledore and his work as a double spy (which led him to become one of the least valued heroes) it is important to admit that his behavior in class was not the most appropriate.
Dumbledore never questioned Snape about his inappropriate treatment towards certain students, especially Harry, whom Snape disliked because he looked so much like James Potter.
2 Hermione Traveling Through Time
Hermione was an excellent student and possessed the intellectual capacity to attend more classes than other young people, but she did not have the time to do so. The school's decision was to give a 13-year-old girl a time-turner and put the fate of humanity in her hands, because of the sensitivity of this concept.
On the other hand, when she does all her homework? she must be exhausted by the end of the day. It's obvious that she was going to eventually drop out of some of the subjects. Besides, how could they justify that she was exceeding the credit hours?
1 The Additional Training
Dumbledore knew these were not easy times for the wizarding world and that Harry would be one of the most affected. Despite this, he was not interested in teaching additional classes that would prepare students for a possible battle.
In fact, Dumbledore hired low-quality teachers for Defense Against the Dark Arts, which was vital in a moment of duel. Harry faced many dangers in every book and film, but it wasn't until his mind was quite affected that Snape gave him some personal lessons in Occlumency.
