Worst Hogwarts Teachers
There were many bad teachers in the Harry Potter series. Vote for the worst!
I honestly wanted her dead more than I wanted Voldemort. She lacks teaching skill. Plus, she was loyal to the Dark Lord. She also acted like a puppet for the Ministry.
With all these qualities, it makes sense that she is the worst Hogwarts professor of the Golden Trio era. Lastly, Avada Kedavra!
Hogwarts was a school for practicing witchcraft and wizardry. When she was there, she didn't want her students to learn the magic that makes Hogwarts a magical place. Basically, she missed the point of being a professor there.
He's so full of air. He copied people, and he thinks he's so high and mighty, bragging about things, that arrogant old git.
He can't even do things properly like Snape. At least Snape knew what he was doing.
Snape is thought of as a zero but is a true hero. Lockhart is thought of as a hero but is an absolute zero. Go drown and die in a hole, Lockhart.
Such an idiot. I kind of get it, though. Survival of the fittest, even though it's terrible. Unfortunately, that's just how life works.
Pretty much the Rachel Elizabeth Dare of Harry Potter. The only difference is that Rachel was young, nice, and not a wannabe.
All she really did was try to predict Harry's death.
Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is characterised as a person of great complexity, whose coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish. I feel like he's kind of the underdog of the series. All the other characters were pretty black-and-white from the start, except for Draco, who kind of changed in The Deathly Hallows. Snape started out as a total slimeball, but gradually, he became a much deeper character.
We start to realize this when we see some of his memories in Order of the Phoenix, and by The Deathly Hallows, he's a true hero. His love for Lily will last forever.
All this time? Always.
Ok Snape, stop the Ten points from Gryffindor and a detention each to Potter and Weasley. This sentence is driving me crazy! He is really unfair to Gryffindor students. For example, when Draco Malfoy started a fight and Goyle had boils on his face, Snape only sent him to the hospital wing, and not Hermione and Ron, who got detention! It would be fine for me if he treated Gryffindor students better.
I don't get why people like him so much. If it wasn't for him, Harry would have enjoyed Potions.
Not really enough was described about him in the books to say worst Hogwarts teacher, though if Nico di Angelo ever decides to visit, something's gonna go down!
His classes were boring and no fun to listen to.
Maybe not the best Hogwarts professor, but hey, he's certainly better than people like Umbridge, Lockhart, and Trelawney at teaching his subject. Also, he seemed to genuinely care for Harry, unlike Umbridge, who wanted to cause pain, Lockhart, who only wished to use Harry, and Trelawney, who was just an annoying dingbat to Harry.
He wasn't that bad, but again, favoritism.
He wasn't useless. He just had Voldemort on the back of his head. He taught students the Curse of the Bogies, and the year before he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, he taught Muggle Studies.
He was teased in school, being timid according to the Harry Potter Wikia.
He had Voldemort possess him and was way too scared of everything.
Who remembers this guy anyway?
I don't mind him as a character at all. In fact, he is one of my favorites. But he just wasn't a good teacher.
He was a great teacher that got along with the students very well.
He was an amazing character, but he wasn't meant to be a teacher.
The students really enjoyed Lupin's classes!
Her classes seemed nice, though she just didn't have that air of fatherly or motherly kindness that Hagrid had. I loved how Hagrid was so overly excited about his creatures, just like I would be if I were to attend Hogwarts (but I don't live in Europe).
So, she wasn't exactly a bad teacher, just a less interesting one than Hagrid.
She was an okay substitute for Hagrid, but I didn't really like how she was sort of stealing Hagrid's job, even though Hagrid was a bad teacher.
Using illegal spells on kids? No thanks.
Why are there two Professor Moodys?
Technically, he didn't do much teaching. He even says so himself in the Deathly Hallows.
He didn't really teach at all. Crouch's son did it, mostly.
Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. I agree with this. He wasn't there most of the time when his students were in danger, and when he was, he didn't take things seriously. There should have been more actions taken by the faculty after the first two basilisk attacks. The moment they knew that more advanced magic was being used, they should have started sending the students home.
Second, he allowed an underage student to compete in a dangerous tournament against his will and even thought Harry was trying to seek attention.
Third, he allowed students to get into dangerous situations. He encouraged them afterward by giving them points. For recklessly endangering your life and the lives of your friends, you get 50 points!
