Numerology was a magical discipline relating to numbers that appeared to be part of, similar to, or related to Arithmancy.[1][2]
History[]
Presumably taught by Septima Vector in Arithmancy at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, books on the subject included Numerology and Grammatica and New Theory of Numerology.[1]
In 1995, Harry Potter gifted Hermione Granger a copy of New Theory of Numerology for Christmas. This was something she appreciated, as she had been “wanting it for ages”.[3]
However, Sybill Trelawney was seen teaching Numerology in Divination class instead during the 1989–1990 school year, and claimed this was not Arithmancy, whatever Professor Vector said.[2]
Methods[]
An important part of Numerology was "reduction", which meant adding up the digits in the number to form a new number.[2] It is unknown, though, whether the new number needed reducing further along if it also had more than one digit.
