Collect Hogwarts Staff Trivia Quiz

Answer:

In the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" the young wizard Harry Potter was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, one of the most famous schools for young wizards and witches. He would have to cope not only with a variety of school subjects he never imagined before, but also with the enmity of Lord Voldemort and his group of Death Eaters. When Harry was only an infant, Voldemort had killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry too.

Albus Dumbledore was headmaster of Hogwarts. In this capacity he did not teach, but in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" he had private sessions with Harry to teach him all about Lord Voldemort via collected memories.

In the first year, Severus Snape was the teacher of Potions and head of Slytherin House. Harry and he profoundly disliked each other.

Rolanda Hooch was a teacher of flying and also a referee at the Quidditch matches (a magic sport on flying broomsticks). She only taught first-year students.

Pomona Sprout was teacher of Herbology. In the first book, her role was only mentioned in passing, but she would play an important role in the second book.

Minerva McGonagall was the teacher of Transfiguration. She was also head of Gryffindor House, where Harry and his friends were part of.

Filius Flitwick was the diminutive teacher of Charms. He had to stand on a pile of books or cushions to oversee his class.

Sybil Trelawney taught Divination for third-year students and onwards.

Quirinus Quirrell was appointed the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts in "Philosopher's Stone". As this post seemed jinxed, there was another teacher of this curriculum in each and every book.

Poppy Pomfrey was the head nurse. She treated various magical afflictions, and she would have lots of work with Harry and his friends.

Rubeus Hagrid started in the first book as gamekeeper and Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. In the third book he would be appointed teacher of Care of Magical Creatures.

The red herrings were some of the Death Eaters. Mind you: some professors also belonged to that group. As followers of Lord Voldemort, they excelled in torturing and causing deathly "accidents".
