What HOL classes would Harry Potter characters take?

[Lex Green]

There's some classes here on HOL that we see lots of the original Harry Potter characters take throughout the books - the canon classes like Charms, Herbology, DADA (although they are all taught very differently) - but there's also plenty of classes that don't exist in the stories, which is part of the beauty of our site! But this term I started thinking, I wonder which characters would enjoy which of the classes that are offered on HOL?

For no real reason, I personally think Neville Longbottom would probably enjoy the 'Basic Healing' class. I can also see a lot of the characters, maybe Hermione Granger in particular, enjoying learning about 'Magic in Famous Mysteries!' And maybe it's self-indulgent to say, but I can imagine there's a few muggle-borns that would love a class all about Taylor Swift...

What do you think? Are there any HOL classes, past or present, that you can see canon Harry Potter characters enjoying for themselves, if they had the chance?

Oh this is fun to think about. I think with Gemstones 101 being offered this term that Luna would enjoy it. I also think Luna would take all the astrology classes we have on offer here.

I do agree that Hermione would take Magic in Famous Mysteries and probably enjoy it a lot (I know I did!).

First, I'm sure Arthur Weasley would have enjoyed anything related to Muggles, probably Muggle Studies: Hidden Powers, Video Games or even Board Games.

In the case of Neville, I think he would also have enjoyed Poisons, as it includes some lessons regarding plants and even mushrooms, so he would have expanded his herbological knowledge.

Harry might have taken Aurology due to his profession choice, and probably Confronting your Boggart, as it's connected in a way to Defense Against the Dark Arts, his area of expertise.

Ron is quite a mystery to be honest. Probably Quidditch - The Wizarding Way would be an option, maybe taking it with Ginny. I'd theorize Superhero Studies but not sure.

Hermione would have taken everything at disposal I think due to how eager she is for knowledge.

I think that Fred and George Weasley, and perhaps even Lee Jordan, would love to take Muggle Studies: Board Games and Video Games. I think it's something they'd be interested in. Either because both iterations of games are fun and/or to get some ideas for the new items they'd offer in their store.

Ohhhh my goodness, I love this question because it's such an interesting thing to think about.

Arthur Weasley: he would absolutely love board games and video games

Hermione Granger: I really think she would enjoy any healing class, as well as occulmency

Draco Malfoy: I feel like he would enjoy bring a potions master, so the poisons class might be very interesting for him
