Welcome! To
DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS!
At Hogwarts: The subject has an extraordinarily high turnover of staff members — throughout the series no Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has remained at Hogwarts for more than one school year. It is suggested by Hagrid in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that "They're startin' ter think the job's jinxed. No one's lasted long for a while now." In Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore suggests that Voldemort cursed the position because his application for it was rejected.The existence of the jinx was eventually confirmed by Rowling. The position had also been coveted by Snape, but he was denied the position as well. Snape was finally appointed D.A.D.A. professor in Half-Blood Prince. Rowling announced in an interview that once Voldemort had died, the jinx he placed on the office was lifted and a permanent professor had been teaching the subject between the end of Deathly Hallows and the epilogue, set nineteen years afterward's. Furthermore, she imagines that Harry Potter occasionally comes to the class to give lectures on the subject.
The teacher in here, however, shall be none other than Nerevar Telvanni (Kenneth Reynolds)
Please do show them respect, for they are, or course, your teacher.
