In today’s video, we’re going to be discussing Defense Against the Dark Arts. Defense Against the Dark Arts is a CORE subject taught at Hogwarts that (purportedly) teaches students how to defend themselves against dark magic. More specifically- we’re going to be taking a look at the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching role at Hogwarts- and deep diving in to each and every professor- ranking them from worst to best. However, I will mention this - I’m only going to be including the main DADA professors during the storyline of the books. There were many professors BEFORE the earliest professor on this list, and there will be many AFTER the latest professor on this list.

Now, if you’re a proper Harry Potter fan- then you’ll know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts position is cursed. This is because, years ago, Tom Riddle (Voldemort himself) was denied the role- and decided to CURSE the position. The resulting curse meant that, for as long as the role existed, no professor would be able to hold the position for more than 1 school year. And Tom was true to his word- after cursing the role, each and every professor had their own unique reason for vacating the role. With such an abundance of different professors in one role- there has certainly been some variety- and today I want to take a look at each of these unique individuals. Which ones were the worst? The best? Which ones actually..Taught the children something?

Without further ado I present to you: every Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher ranked from WORST to BEST.
