	Transfiguration Transfiguration is essentially the art of changing the properties of an object. Transfiguration is a theory-based subject, including topics such as "Switching Spells" (altering only a part of some object, such as giving a human rabbit's ears); Vanishing Spells (causing an object to completely disappear); and Conjuring Spells (creating objects out of thin air). It is possible to change inanimate objects into animate ones and vice versa. Teacher: Open	0	0	No posts have been made on this board.

	Defence Against the Dark Arts Commonly shortened to D.A.D.A., this class teaches defensive techniques to block spells, charms, curses, hexes and jinxes cast by other wizards, counteract the Dark Arts, and to protect from Dark creatures.

	Diviniation Divination is the art of predicting the future. Various methods are described, including crystal balls, palmistry, tea leaves, cartomancy (including the reading of playing cards and the Tarot), astrology, and dream interpretations.
