Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) is a core subject at Hogwarts, where students learn how to defend themselves against any and all aspects of the Dark Arts! But as you progress through Harry’s journey, you might start to notice that no DADA professor has held the position for more than one year. Strange, no? Everyone else seems to think so too! The DADA teaching position was actually rumored to be jinxed, perhaps by Tom Riddle who was angered that Albus Dumbledore didn’t give him the job when he applied for it.

It's not all bad though! Thanks to the DADA curse, we were exposed to a whole cast of characters - some who were more than qualified to teach the course and others who were… not so qualified. I'll let you be the judge

With that in mind, we want to know which DADA professor you think was the most deserving of the position? Which one was the least deserving? Who do you think did the best job at teaching the subject as a whole?

Have any other thoughts regarding the curse of the DADA position or the professors who sought to fill the role? Drop a post below and get to discussing!
