Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA). Students learn to defend themselves against Dark spells, creatures, and curses. This subject is famous in the saga for its frequent change of teachers. History of Magic. The study of important events in the wizarding world, such as goblin rebellions or major wars. Taught by Professor Binns, the course is known for its "sleepy" reputation. Astronomy. Stargazing, map-making, and calculations—classes take place at night in the Astronomy Tower. Herbology. Caring for magical plants, studying their properties and uses. Professor Sprout taught the classes in the greenhouses. Broomstick Flying. Basic broomstick skills; usually taught in first year to identify Quidditch potential. Elective subjects (from the 3rd year, optional) Care of Magical Creatures. Introduction to various magical creatures, how to handle them, and basic care. This class was later taught by Hagrid.

Sirius Black, Harry's godfather and one of the Marauders. He fled his family's belief in pureblood supremacy. His fatal mistake—entrusting Peter Pettigrew with the secret—led to 12 years in Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit. Remus Lupin. The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the third book. A werewolf forced to hide his nature. He was a member of the Marauders along with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Draco Malfoy. A Slytherin student, he initially embodies the worst traits of his house. His journey ranges from an arrogant ideologist to a confused victim of circumstance. His friends are Crabbe and Goyle, who love food. Fred and George Weasley are the cheerful, inventive, and cheeky brothers of the Weasley family. Known for their jokes, pranks, and love of breaking rules, they founded the shop "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes." Voldemort (Tom Riddle). The main antagonist. His quest to overcome death and purify blood led to the creation of Horcruxes.

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, a wise and powerful wizard. His kind demeanor conceals a complex past. Severus Snape. A contradictory character. On the surface, he appears to be a dark and cruel Potions professor, but in the finale, his true role is revealed: he was Dumbledore's spy for Voldemort. Minerva McGonagall is a strict but fair Transfiguration professor and Head of Gryffindor House. She can transform into a cat (an Animagus). One of Hogwarts' strongest and most reliable defenders, she firmly stands on the side of good. Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant, was the Keeper of the Keys and Gamekeeper at Hogwarts, and later the Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Kind and simple-minded, he genuinely loved even the most dangerous creatures (like Norbert the dragon and Aragog the spider). He was the one who first told Harry he was a wizard and showed him Diagon Alley.

and others

Harry Potter. The central character, "the boy who lived," is divided into two parts: a difficult childhood with Muggle relatives and an incredible destiny in the wizarding world. Ron Weasley. Harry's best friend. The sixth son in a large, poor wizarding family. Often feels inferior because his mother constantly holds up older siblings as role models. Hermione Granger. One of the main characters, born to a Muggle family. Her strength lies in her intelligence and unbending will.
