Changes: Professor

Revision as of 05:44, 7 July 2014

Dumbledore's speech at the Great Hall in 1996 — The Hogwarts faculty in 1996.

"We teachers are rather good at magic, you know."

The title of Professor is given to members of the wizarding scientific and scholarly community engaged in education and research, taken as a whole.

It is, perhaps most notably, used by teachers at wizarding educational institutions such as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. It is considered rude by some for students to not address a member of a teaching staff on their school as professor, Madam^[1] or Sir^[2], as is the case with Professor Snape. Harry Potter often chose to omit this title when speaking of Snape to others, leading them to chastise him. However, the most notable exception to this is Rubeus Hagrid, who is usually referred to by his surname. The term Sir or Madam (depending on the gender) is an alternative title to use instead of Professor, on the speaker's preference. While talking to their colleagues, they usually use their first name. Professor Snape, however, preferred to use others' surnames. For example, he called Remus Lupin, Lupin, and Gilderoy Lockhart, Professor Lockhart in the Duelling Club in 1992. The exception to this would be Professor McGonagall, whom Professor Snape called Minerva.

Powers and rights

Rubeus Hagrid, the only Professor known not to have received his O.W.L.s.

Professors have the power to award and dock points (to determine the winner of the house cup competition) give detention and write notes for certain areas and activities that are usually off limits. Examples is how Hogwarts Professors can grant premission to such locations as the Restricted Section in the Hogwarts Library or permission to practise on the Quidditch pitch. Hogwarts Professors can also award and dock points to the four different houses on the school to partake in determining the winner of the house cup competition.

Education

Professor snape — Severus Snape, a teacher who demanded to be referred to as *Professor* or *Sir*.

It is presumed that wizards and witches do not need any form of specific education, other than having received their final examination in their own subject and showed particular skill and talent. To become teachers at Hogwarts, it is assumed that the wizard or witch in question usually have passed both their O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s, to gain the title of Professor. However, it have happened that someone who did not complete their O.W.L. examinations was able to become a Professor, as long as he or she had been chosen by the Headmaster/Headmistress of the school in question, or if they had been appointed by the Ministry of Magic. This was the case with the Care of Magical Creatures Professor from 1993-1997, Rubeus Hagrid. He was expelled from Hogwarts before being able to complete any 'important' exams, however Hagrid was considered more than qualified on the subject matter. Another example was Firenze, who, as a non-wizard, had not previously attended Hogwarts.
