@@emericdion also it's 'his' and not 'he is' no offense tho

@@x_moony_ Typo

Remus dying is sometimes sadder to me than Fred dying. He lived a very, very difficult life, having a painful childhood with his transformations, left school never able to live up to his full potential, scorned and shunned wherever he went until he was forced to live in poverty, finally found some happiness with Tonks and Teddy, only to die never having the opportunity to see him grow up. I know Teddy ending up an orphan was meant to be a Harry parallel, but I really, really wish Remus hadn't been killed off. It would have been nice to have just one surviving marauder. He would have been such a good teacher and a good father.

@@gracexconi always said that i hate JK rowling for killing lupin instead of umbridge. Lupin is one of the best character ever, even tho james and sirius were bullies he didnt took part of being a bully. He deserved so much more than died as hero.

@@pearlleeooo9955EXACTLY WHY ON EARTH WHY HAVEN’T THEY HAVE THIS SCENE IN THE MOVIES THAT SHOWS HOW BRAVE SHE IS! THIS IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!

This is one of my favorite McGonagall moments from the movies, and what I was coming down here to comment. Did it happen in the books tho? I'm not sure, its been a while since I read them.

Her connection with Harry was so important to him, that he used the cruciatus curse, one of the 3 unforgivable curses on Amycus Carrow because he spit at Mcgonagall's face.

I mean the Carrows also taught them how to brutally murder people so that's pretty useful

Yea same lol

agreed

Agreed!

I agree!

Harry would return to give occasional lessons on the dark arts and how to defend against them. So I guess you could make the argument that he did teach a little

The irony of Harry, one of the best teachers in Hogwarts History, is suggested to be an honourable mention, which in terms of ranking is worse than last place!!! You basically said Harry is worse than Quirrell, which I know was not your intention.

He did get 12 owls

he used unforgivable curses on children😂 Thats not a good teacher, it's an Askaban life sentence

@@marcopolo1472in a perfectly legal context though. Otherwise he would’ve been sent to Azkaban even as Mad-Eye

Honestly I’m curious as to why he decided to become a death eater rather than a full time teacher, he would’ve been set for life as a permanent teacher

If anything, Barty Junior did more harm than good for Voldemort by being an excellent DADA professor

10/10 comment

He was taught the spell by a white witch from the Shadow Realms of Cornwall

🤣🤣🤣

😂

Brilliant! 😂

Yeah, but unfortunately lycanthropy can carry some serious consequences. Best to just nip that problem in the bud away from school than live with the fear of gravely mauling a student without even knowing it

​@@Prophet-dw9gzyeah which was caused by voldemort cursing the position because in 1973 when he returned dumbledore rejected him

exactly. if he was billied so much why would he make his students feel the same why?

I am a snape fan but I definitely agree no teacher should be bullying students(Half of teachers lol-)

@@anjalikarao8669 Well unfortunatlly sometimes parents who have been beaten beat their children as well.

@@sawanna508 i dont understand that, if you have gone through a horrible experience, why would you want a inncocent child to suffer as well

We see less than 3 years of Hagrid as a teacher. I imagine he got better as time went on.

Also, since he was so big and strong and had the protection of giant's blood he didn't see many dangerous magical creatures as dangerous because he could handle them, unlike the average student or teacher.

Potential doesn’t mean anything if we don’t see him reach it. I love Hagrid but as a person not as a teacher

No he did not have potential. He sent 12 year olds into the Dark Forest to clear his name, the blast ended screwts were actually illegal but once again Dumbledore got him off the hook, he brought a full giant back and tied it in the forest bidding Harry and Hermione to take care of him even after Grawp almost crushed Hermione to death, held a funeral for the very spider that ordered his kids to eat Harry and Ron, and....he never GRADUATED school. In real life, whether he was guilty or not, no school would ever hire someone uneducated to teach any classes. Ever! It's not legal. No, Hagrid was a full on menace and never should have been a teacher.

Potential, yes. But you must admit, if you've red the books, he was knowledgeable but he wasn't a very good teacher and inspired no one with his teaching.

if it was down to teaching quality I would probably have him even higher because of the general proficiency of pretty much all the students being able to use charm spells and they would perhaps use them more than any other branch of magic - for instance I love Sprout, but in all honesty how proficient were the students in general in Herbology and how many that you read about really used it that much, aside from Neville who was really enthusiastic about it we don't really see anyone else use it as much or displayed the same degree of proficiency or usage that the vast majority did in charm spells - but I do get that this list does take the teacher's personality and relationships with the students into account also. I could actually probably see Rowena Ravenclaw being pretty similar to Professor McGonogall as a teacher (with a similar demeanor) Firm but Fair and not suffering any Fools Gladly 😄

same here! im a ravenclaw

I love him. He is one of the reasons I'm so proud of being a Ravenaw! His background actually helped me deal with some things in my past and move on! 💙🦅

And not just charms, but he's an extremely skilled duelist, plus the choir director! Very well rounded skill set. I had no idea that he was half goblin. I would LOVE to know more about his family. Flitwick is absolutely a teacher that I would love to have!

wasn't Footwick one of the best duelists ever? It's a shame it wasn't shown in the movies. Unfortunately, it was rather unimportant and a joke.

idk he didnt really "collect" them he only had them in the order after they graduated and while they were there he didnt REALLY play favorites that much

I wouldn’t call what Dumbledore did “playing favorites”. One could argue he’s acting as a mentor to said outcast students who may not be getting that kind of relationship from their peers or even other teachers.

McGonagall has always been my favorite character overall!

Mcgonagall is a queen but she's too strict ro be first

@@guyhathansaintil5218 ah yes dumbledore didn’t play favorites but he didn’t punish harry after countless rule breaking he even gave points

Your child/children will remember that though.

Ur a g

this is actually so cute

Agreed. You could argue that many of his administrative decisions actively put students in danger.

I was thinking the same.

Yea he was not the best at making safe decisions if he got put through an inspection as a muggle school Hogwarts would be shut down

True! McGonagall deserves the number one spot. She always stands up for students like she did for Harry in Order of Pheonix against Umbridge.

I also thought he would have McGonagall at number 1! I will say though, I think Dumbledore gives Gryffindor so many points because he knows Snape takes so many points away from them, specifically 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pretty weird and stupid honestly

Only because Quirrell planned to bring Voldemort back with the Sorcerer’s(or Philosopher’s) stone. Which I think the Carrow siblings should’ve been worse than Quirrel

Yh I bet they didn't show them an iguana

Did quirell teach muggle studies

@@caseellovelike143 No, he used to teach Defense against dark arts.

Thinking about it, I agree although I don't have any problem with the ranking. Dumbledore did say in the Order of the Phoenix, that Hogwarts needs her before he dueled Fudge, Umbridge, and the aurors in his office. He was soooooooo right about that. She had wayyyy too many moments throughout the books, but her in Deathly Hallows during the Battle of Hogwarts sticks out like a sore thumb

I too would have put Prof. Mcgonagall as #1. I think, as a teacher, she was more even handed and inspiring even over Dumbledore. Part of me believes that the students were more at ease confiding in her than any other teacher (besides, maybe "the Golden Trio" with Hagrid).

I agree, because Dumbledore still had some bias. The fact that in the first book he almost invents points to reward the Gryffondor house just to win over Slytherin, is yeah, I don't know, not really fair. Slytherin won fair and square. He also let Harry & co break the school rules multiple times, while McGonnagall was very reasonable, but she was fair when even the students of her own house broke the rules. When Harry deserved it to be punished, she did, while Dumbledore let him get away with almost everything. And I think that's a quality of a great professor, making everyone equal.

That’s the same argument real life companies/organizations use to justify racism, sexism, homophobia etc. though 😅

@@maxonite If you think about it like that it soumds bad but if you think that its like universities wanting students surpassing a certain level Godric and Rowena are acceptable.

@@user-ko9jh5qf3o Slytherin's pureblood-suprematism was, to a certain extent, justified at that time as it was a time where wizards weren't yet an organised society but still a group beig threatened by muggles.

@N.I.C.K. and people forget, Slytherin house accepted muggleborns. It wasn't common, but it did happen. Scabior, the snatched said it was rare. But rare means it wasn't never, it did happen and had happened in his lifetime as he'd seen it.

Giving their own belives they wanted people like them to represent what each house best qualities are

Yeah i mean they’re probably less annoying but more brutal and evil than her imo.

​@@denizkenger52well I would rather be annoyed then chained up, beat and hit with the torture curse.

That point works only till the end of 4th year, after that, Harry's survival is pretty much guaranteed. Plus, Dumbledore only taught Harry very few key important things, and during that time, he didn't antagonise Harry nor bully him like Snape did.

Firenze insulted human divination during a class rather than politely explain the difference. He may have been banished but kinda had a superior mindset of his herd. That’s why Pavarti and lavender still prefer Trwany

You cant say they prefer Trelawny because one of them had a crush on him. Also him saying that about human divination is understandable because he is still a centaur. You cant expect him to understand all the human rules of etiquette. He has rarely been around humans. It’s like expecting a chimp to act like a Lord or Lady of the upperclass and then saying he is terrible because he uses the wrong fork.

Agree.. I would put him above Trelawney. I actually would put Trelawney lower than Sinistra and other not much known professors. They were at least real professors. Trelawney was a fake. Dumbledore hired only only to protect her

@@madeyed2702 agreed

Honestly, that's more of a fan theory. Snape never 'hated' Neville he often abused his power as a professor and Neville was just an easy target to pick on because of his lack of talent (at the time) and his forgetfulness.

I didn't realize that actually! That makes me think of even less

This is a fan theory

But that was never the reason given for Snape’s treatment to Neville. It’s just fanon.

Neville’s literally the opposite of Severus Snape.

Because Voldemort through his puppet Minister had control of the Ministry and Snape who at the time was still acting as a Death Eater spy for Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

It was during voldemort comeback era. Everything is under his control including hogwarts.

reminding her that just because she failed charms, doesn't mean the class is worthless. Would so have loved to have seen that letter

Oh? You didn't think he sould be at least higher than Hufflepuff?

And I’ll never understand why Harry’s daughter’s middle name is Luna and not Minerva considering all McGonagall did for Harry

Think about it this way, Snape was the third main character of the entire series, after HP (the trio in fact which i consider as one) and Voldy himself, which he had fooled until the very end "you have been a truly loyal and devoted servant" truly deserving the 'bravest man' accolade so i think it is in fact well deserved. Even as a professor, during hp's years at hogwarts, to protect his students he: confronted Quirrell, helped hp during quiditch, confronted a troll getting injured in the process, was strict with the students to make sure they take his classes seriously, taught his classes about werewolves when Lupin arrived so they could protect themselves, challenged Lupin(a werewolf) and Sirius(escaped killer extremely dangerous top security convict) alone, helped students avoid pregnancies and more (until deathly hallows when he had to keep up the facade). I have never considered him as being evil or a monster, only strict, efficient, proficient, misunderstood, callous at times, and, in the end, underappreciated, unrecognized.

@@oTurkish13x I get what your saying, but you need to realize that he was no where near perfect. He was biased towards own house, severely against Gryffindor, terrorized many kids to the point, like Morgan says in the video, where Neville's worst fear is Snape, and he literally was a world class jerk to the son of the woman he had loved for 3/4 of his life. Yes, he did majorly redeem himself in the last book, but that doesn't excuse what he did during his time as a teacher.

@@persassyjackson816 prob bc of ginny and lunas friendship ykyk

While I don't entirely excuse Snape's treatment of students and him calling Lily a mudblood, a lot of people forget that the things that had happened to him throughout his life would likely turn anyone into him. He had a poor childhood due to crap parents, he was bullied and humiliated to the point where James and Sirius nearly killed him which caused him to insult Lily in which he very quickly felt intense remorse for, and then when things couldn't possibly seem worse, James got with and married Lily and had a kid with her. Then to cap it all off Lily was killed by Voldemort. He just couldn't catch a break.

I see it that way too. She just called for intelligence and diligence, which is what today's elite schools do. That's why these schools have such a good reputation and most of them want to go to these schools and have the best opportunities after school to make the best of themselves and become rich and famous or simply make the world a better place. There's a difference between forcing students to be diligent and smart, and forcing students to be smart and not forcing anyone to work so hard and hard to achieve high standards. Or in business at all. Would you rather live in a home designed by an elite architect who is committed to designing the best home ever and is always willing to learn and develop or by someone who has just become an architect and doesn't have the aspirations at all building good houses, let alone improving as an architect. It's the same with sports etc. One should always strive for the best of oneself and not rest on one's genes/blood or just being nice or brave and think that's enough Ravenclaw has the best philosophy of any house.

I see your point, but this is just a school. To teach the kids basic magic so they can survive in this quite dangerous world. It should not a be a privilege like a college

Well, if she valued intelligence so much, shouldn't she want to spread knowledge instead of choosing a select few? Also, these are just literal kids, they have yet to understand or prove themselves. Neville didn't become confident until the last few books. 🤨

@@MovieFlamecan you make a timeline about the life Gellert Grindelwald he’s my favorite 😍 bad guy 💙💙💙

Omg that would be cool

The new version of him could probably be that hero he wrote about

A movie joke that you'll only see if you are patient enough to sit out the entire end credits is a book sold in Diagon Alley called "Who am I?" by Gilderoy Lockheart depicting a picture of him in a straightjacket. This is non-canon though, as this book only exists in the movies. In the novels the trio meets him again at St. Mungo's when they are paying Arthur Weasley a visit after Harry saw the attack on him in a vision. Now the attack itself is shown in the movies, but the visit to St. Mungo's was entirely cut out in the film. Lockheart would not remember who he is and whatever he did before, but his desire to show off and give out autographs didn't fade away from him and even tries to enforce his autograph onto Harry and friends. Lockheart was (if I remember correctly) at the same department as were Frank and Alice Longbottom (Neville's parents) spend the rest of their days after they went insane.

It just shows how smart he was, despite being evil. Quite a shame, he didn't put that to use and follow in the footsteps of his father Barty Crouch Sr. I found, always so strange, that betrayal.

Protecting one kid who you know to be the chosen one doesn't matter if you spend the other 50% of your life bullying small children until they cry

For dada? Its pretty complicated to choose someone else from only one single option.

With Voldemort around though, soon there wouldn’t be an education

I feel like Dumbledore knows the truth to take Voldemort down and chooses people to teach the subjects he taught himself who he trusts most

Still a horrible person

There was nothing to protect about Lupin. He drank Wolfsbane all the time except for when his friends, one of which were dead and the other on the run after “killing” the former. It was pure malicious revenge

that's two things of value Snape truly did as a professor across 6 books (the lupin incident doesn't exactly count as he was acting far outside his duties as a professor, and he vowed to protect Harry to Dumbledore). The fact of the matter is that his faults FAR outweigh his successes as a teacher.

FYI protecting the trio from transformed Lupin is only in the movies
