the funny thing about snape is that he could easily be the best potions professor hogwarts had ever seen,he had an incredible talent in potions and harry managed to get on the top of his class in potions just by reading his instructions,every student on hogwarts could be a potions master if he taught them properly
Great ranking! I think one I would switch would be the Carrows and Quirrell. Even though he literally had Voldemort on the back of his head, he Quirrell actually taught students and didn’t torture them like the Carrows. I get why you ranked him last but I thought I’d share
The fact that Remus just missed the top 3 is both inspiring and depressing. With just 1 year, he proved just how good of a teacher he was. Imagine if he hadn't died and all the students he could have inspired, including perhaps Harry's children. He really is a tragic character.
Remus dying is sometimes sadder to me than Fred dying. He lived a very, very difficult life, having a painful childhood with his transformations, left school never able to live up to his full potential, scorned and shunned wherever he went until he was forced to live in poverty, finally found some happiness with Tonks and Teddy, only to die never having the opportunity to see him grow up. I know Teddy ending up an orphan was meant to be a Harry parallel, but I really, really wish Remus hadn't been killed off. It would have been nice to have just one surviving marauder. He would have been such a good teacher and a good father.
@@gracexconi always said that i hate JK rowling for killing lupin instead of umbridge. Lupin is one of the best character ever, even tho james and sirius were bullies he didnt took part of being a bully. He deserved so much more than died as hero.
@@pearlleeooo9955EXACTLY WHY ON EARTH WHY HAVEN’T THEY HAVE THIS SCENE IN THE MOVIES THAT SHOWS HOW BRAVE SHE IS! THIS IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!
This is one of my favorite McGonagall moments from the movies, and what I was coming down here to comment. Did it happen in the books tho? I'm not sure, its been a while since I read them.
Her connection with Harry was so important to him, that he used the cruciatus curse, one of the 3 unforgivable curses on Amycus Carrow because he spit at Mcgonagall's face.
Hearing you talk about Neville and Sprouts relationship as student and teacher was very nice to hear, you should do that for a full video. Best/worse student-teacher relationships at Hogwarts.
A thing you didn't mention about Lupin, is that when he was exposed for being a werewolf students didn't want him to leave, Harry even argued with him, wanting Lupin to stay. If that isn't a symbol of being an exellent teacher, I don't know what is.
Yeah, but unfortunately lycanthropy can carry some serious consequences. Best to just nip that problem in the bud away from school than live with the fear of gravely mauling a student without even knowing it
This isn't related to the video, but it's a cool detail I've noticed. For the entire Prisoner of Azkaban, they keep referring to Sirius as "Black", but the very next chapter after it's revealed that he's innocent, they call him "Sirius" and it stays that way for the rest of the series.
one of my favorite moments from mcgonagall was in the fifth book. just read this conversation and you'll see why i like it so much: McGonagall: Is it true that you yelled at Professor Umbridge? Harry: Yes. McGonagall: You called her a liar? Harry: Yes. McGonagall: And you told her that You-Know-Who is back? Harry: Yes. McGonagall: Have a biscuit, Potter. Harry: What? McGonagall: Have a biscuit. **a few minutes later** McGonagall: Have another biscuit. Harry: No, thanks. McGonagall: Don't be ridiculous.
I think harry deserves an honorable mention in this video since even though he was never an actual professor at Hogwarts Dumbledors Army was basically a DATDA class.
Harry would return to give occasional lessons on the dark arts and how to defend against them. So I guess you could make the argument that he did teach a little
The irony of Harry, one of the best teachers in Hogwarts History, is suggested to be an honourable mention, which in terms of ranking is worse than last place!!! You basically said Harry is worse than Quirrell, which I know was not your intention.
I'd have Barty Crouch Junior even higher. He connected and inspired so many students during his time. He may have been very evil, but he didn't bully students or play favourites. He taught Harry how to throw off the Imperius Curse from Voldemort. Even more than that we only saw him in his first year teaching and Fred and George were raving about his classses on Day 1. Think how great he would at teaching if he'd had as much expierence as McGonagall or Slughorn.
Honestly I’m curious as to why he decided to become a death eater rather than a full time teacher, he would’ve been set for life as a permanent teacher
I think it's important to remember that Hagrid was harassed and bullied in his early teaching years. On top of that, he is probably the most knowledgeable person in the school on magical creatures. It's just that we saw him in his formative teaching years where his confidence was being hit a lot. He definitely has LOADS of potential.
Also, since he was so big and strong and had the protection of giant's blood he didn't see many dangerous magical creatures as dangerous because he could handle them, unlike the average student or teacher.
No he did not have potential. He sent 12 year olds into the Dark Forest to clear his name, the blast ended screwts were actually illegal but once again Dumbledore got him off the hook, he brought a full giant back and tied it in the forest bidding Harry and Hermione to take care of him even after Grawp almost crushed Hermione to death, held a funeral for the very spider that ordered his kids to eat Harry and Ron, and....he never GRADUATED school. In real life, whether he was guilty or not, no school would ever hire someone uneducated to teach any classes. Ever! It's not legal. No, Hagrid was a full on menace and never should have been a teacher.
Potential, yes. But you must admit, if you've red the books, he was knowledgeable but he wasn't a very good teacher and inspired no one with his teaching.
I would personally put McGonagall at #1, since she seems to be the Professor that does the most behind-the-scenes work for the good of Hogwarts on top of her great teaching
yeah and dumbledore was bad with his judgement letting snape teach harry legilems and keeping harry away from him for a year, mcgonagall never made any mistakes
And she shows a lot of faith and trust in her students to, no matter what. She will always be Loyal, fair and honest. She definitely deserves 1st. Even though Dumbledore has the most bravery, McGonagall protected Harry in the last book/movie. And Dumbledore clearly liked Gryffindor the most. Proof: In the first movie when Dumbledore was revealing all the house point for the house cup, he could have just put the ‘last minute points’ to Gryffindor instead of getting slytherins hopes up first, so he was just mainly trolling slytherin lol.
Thank you. I'm tired of many fans defending Snape's bullying behavior, denying his behavior is bullying and thinking that Snape being bullied in school somehow justifies all his awful actions.
if it was down to teaching quality I would probably have him even higher because of the general proficiency of pretty much all the students being able to use charm spells and they would perhaps use them more than any other branch of magic - for instance I love Sprout, but in all honesty how proficient were the students in general in Herbology and how many that you read about really used it that much, aside from Neville who was really enthusiastic about it we don't really see anyone else use it as much or displayed the same degree of proficiency or usage that the vast majority did in charm spells - but I do get that this list does take the teacher's personality and relationships with the students into account also. I could actually probably see Rowena Ravenclaw being pretty similar to Professor McGonogall as a teacher (with a similar demeanor) Firm but Fair and not suffering any Fools Gladly 😄
I love him. He is one of the reasons I'm so proud of being a Ravenaw! His background actually helped me deal with some things in my past and move on! 💙🦅
And not just charms, but he's an extremely skilled duelist, plus the choir director! Very well rounded skill set. I had no idea that he was half goblin. I would LOVE to know more about his family. Flitwick is absolutely a teacher that I would love to have!
I mostly agree with your placements, and reasons for them, they make sense, but I would switch McGogongall and Dumbledore if it were my list, but that's because she's my favorite Hogwarts professor. I love how she's strict without being mean and shows care for her students, she even showed concern over Draco Malfoy when she saw Moody/Barty Crouch had transfigured him into a ferret. But your reasons for putting Dumbledore as number 1 make sense, I understand why you did, and love that McGogongall was number 2.
Thinking about it, I agree although I don't have any problem with the ranking. Dumbledore did say in the Order of the Phoenix, that Hogwarts needs her before he dueled Fudge, Umbridge, and the aurors in his office. He was soooooooo right about that. She had wayyyy too many moments throughout the books, but her in Deathly Hallows during the Battle of Hogwarts sticks out like a sore thumb
I too would have put Prof. Mcgonagall as #1. I think, as a teacher, she was more even handed and inspiring even over Dumbledore. Part of me believes that the students were more at ease confiding in her than any other teacher (besides, maybe "the Golden Trio" with Hagrid).
I agree, because Dumbledore still had some bias. The fact that in the first book he almost invents points to reward the Gryffondor house just to win over Slytherin, is yeah, I don't know, not really fair. Slytherin won fair and square. He also let Harry & co break the school rules multiple times, while McGonnagall was very reasonable, but she was fair when even the students of her own house broke the rules. When Harry deserved it to be punished, she did, while Dumbledore let him get away with almost everything. And I think that's a quality of a great professor, making everyone equal.
It really says something that Neville's boggart was Snape. Neville's parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange, and his greatest fear was his potions professor. If that doesn't tell you what kind of teacher Snape was, I don't know what will
Great list! I wouldn't put Dumbledore so high though. Yes, he is a good person and wants what is best for everyone, but he is also extremely secretive and manipulative. He is quite obviously biased towards Gryffindor and often gives them extra points. He has also put several students in real danger. I would probably put him at number 3 or 4. McGonagle deserves that top spot! She is extremely sweet and really cares about her students and their wellbeing, but at the same time she is firm, strict and insists that her students take her lessons seriously, because magic can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. She has a commanding presence that demands respect, but her kindness and caring make you want to respect her anyway.
I also thought he would have McGonagall at number 1! I will say though, I think Dumbledore gives Gryffindor so many points because he knows Snape takes so many points away from them, specifically 🤷🏻♂️
McGonagall will always be my no.1 🖤 I think dumbledore should be a bit lower, just like Slughorn he too gathered a group of students and people around him that would be loyal to him and do stuff for him, only Dumbledore collected the outcasts.. And yeah, McGonagall just has it all. I think we can all relate to a teacher in our lives that pushed us to see the best in ourselves, and handled classes with great knowledge and righteousness. I'm a diehard Slytherin, but McGonagall have always been, and always will be, my favourite.
idk he didnt really "collect" them he only had them in the order after they graduated and while they were there he didnt REALLY play favorites that much
I wouldn’t call what Dumbledore did “playing favorites”. One could argue he’s acting as a mentor to said outcast students who may not be getting that kind of relationship from their peers or even other teachers.
In defence for the founders. If you are one of the gratest wizard and you make a school with great friends you might want to choose your own students. And since Helga chose the rest, the others could be more picky about their students.
@@maxonite If you think about it like that it soumds bad but if you think that its like universities wanting students surpassing a certain level Godric and Rowena are acceptable.
@@아아아-k2v3w Slytherin's pureblood-suprematism was, to a certain extent, justified at that time as it was a time where wizards weren't yet an organised society but still a group beig threatened by muggles.
@N.I.C.K. and people forget, Slytherin house accepted muggleborns. It wasn't common, but it did happen. Scabior, the snatched said it was rare. But rare means it wasn't never, it did happen and had happened in his lifetime as he'd seen it.
@@pikachu3b366mGood character doesn't mean good person. Just like thousands would argue Voldemort was a great character but obviously not a great person.
Possibly the best wrriten character in the series, i love how jk linked him to dumbledore(my fav character,rip micheal gambon and the character itself),while still maintaining his demenor,bullied into bullying others, while showing harry(his last moments) the truth
Snape was an amazing wizard though. During their duel, you could tell Snape clearly feared McGonnagul’s skills. Yet he managed to avoid being hit, avoid hurting her, knock out both the Carrow’s (making it look like an accident,) and still escape unharmed. That was impressive. (Plus if you notice, none of Harry snd Ginnys kids were named Gilderoy.)😂
I would put Barty Crouch Jr. much higher on the list. Despite him being a Death Eater, he actually did a great disservice to Death Eaters and Voldemort-he taught the kids how to fight and not be afraid of the pain. He did not treat them as kids and I believe prepared them for the Battle of Hogwarts, along with Harry’s lessons to the DA. On the other note, why is Harry not on the list? He was quite good, although didn’t have a “professor’s” title attached to him 😊
Harry was on the list. Also you said "Hogwards" instead of "Hogwarts" but that's not really a big deal. I do think Barty Crouch Jr should be higher though for all the reasons you outlined.
Only because Quirrell planned to bring Voldemort back with the Sorcerer’s(or Philosopher’s) stone. Which I think the Carrow siblings should’ve been worse than Quirrel
I re-read OotP pretty recently, and the scenes in Firenze's divination class are awesome. The centaur methods seem like the real deal in-world, they're just on a more cosmic scale than a personal level, and iirc some of the students really enjoy it. Absolute crime for him to be below Trelawney imo, especially since Grubbly-plank's teaching outranks Hagrid's connections with the students
Firenze insulted human divination during a class rather than politely explain the difference. He may have been banished but kinda had a superior mindset of his herd. That’s why Pavarti and lavender still prefer Trwany
You cant say they prefer Trelawny because one of them had a crush on him. Also him saying that about human divination is understandable because he is still a centaur. You cant expect him to understand all the human rules of etiquette. He has rarely been around humans. It’s like expecting a chimp to act like a Lord or Lady of the upperclass and then saying he is terrible because he uses the wrong fork.
Agree.. I would put him above Trelawney. I actually would put Trelawney lower than Sinistra and other not much known professors. They were at least real professors. Trelawney was a fake. Dumbledore hired only only to protect her
My daughter is 7, and I've spent the last two years or so reading the series to her out loud. As a second grader, she's not had all that many teachers, but we do spend time taking about which teachers are good, bad, otherwise... and why they are so. Hardest part however, is coming up with different voices while reading to distinguish each teacher (and other character), similar to the way Stephen Fry does in his rendition. Grubbly-Plank is fun... she (along with Nymphadoa Tonks) get hard Scottish. Dumbledore gets London upper class, Sprout gets British Cockney, etc. Often, I try to base it on either their social class, or how exotic a specific professors background is. Kinda a fun game.
Considering the Carrow siblings have committed literal war crimes I don't understand how the hell they were let through the doors of hogwarts. I love watching Neville's evolution, especially in the third movie
Because Voldemort through his puppet Minister had control of the Ministry and Snape who at the time was still acting as a Death Eater spy for Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Honestly, that's more of a fan theory. Snape never 'hated' Neville he often abused his power as a professor and Neville was just an easy target to pick on because of his lack of talent (at the time) and his forgetfulness.
I watch your videos already for some years and i never get disappointed! Thank you so much for all your hard work so we understand better. This ranking list is on point!
I would switch Helga Hufflepuff and Remus Lupin because we knew more about how Lupin was as a teacher and he definitely was very accepting of everyone, too. I would also put Professor Vector on the higher ranked triple tie because she was able to make Hermione love a subject that is basically Mathematics in the wizarding world so that makes me think she's great.
Although I understand Snape’s story arc and how seeing his thoughts in the pensive following his death changed Harry’s opinion about him, I will never understand why he gave his son the middle name of Severus. He was a monster to those students all 6 years!
Think about it this way, Snape was the third main character of the entire series, after HP (the trio in fact which i consider as one) and Voldy himself, which he had fooled until the very end "you have been a truly loyal and devoted servant" truly deserving the 'bravest man' accolade so i think it is in fact well deserved. Even as a professor, during hp's years at hogwarts, to protect his students he: confronted Quirrell, helped hp during quiditch, confronted a troll getting injured in the process, was strict with the students to make sure they take his classes seriously, taught his classes about werewolves when Lupin arrived so they could protect themselves, challenged Lupin(a werewolf) and Sirius(escaped killer extremely dangerous top security convict) alone, helped students avoid pregnancies and more (until deathly hallows when he had to keep up the facade). I have never considered him as being evil or a monster, only strict, efficient, proficient, misunderstood, callous at times, and, in the end, underappreciated, unrecognized.
@@oTurkish13x I get what your saying, but you need to realize that he was no where near perfect. He was biased towards own house, severely against Gryffindor, terrorized many kids to the point, like Morgan says in the video, where Neville's worst fear is Snape, and he literally was a world class jerk to the son of the woman he had loved for 3/4 of his life. Yes, he did majorly redeem himself in the last book, but that doesn't excuse what he did during his time as a teacher.
While I don't entirely excuse Snape's treatment of students and him calling Lily a mudblood, a lot of people forget that the things that had happened to him throughout his life would likely turn anyone into him. He had a poor childhood due to crap parents, he was bullied and humiliated to the point where James and Sirius nearly killed him which caused him to insult Lily in which he very quickly felt intense remorse for, and then when things couldn't possibly seem worse, James got with and married Lily and had a kid with her. Then to cap it all off Lily was killed by Voldemort. He just couldn't catch a break.
Agree with everything, but I'd put minnie at top! I just adore her, especially in the order of the phoenix; every single scene with her and umbridge together is phenomenal and really shows how amazing and supportive she is of other students as well as teachers (even trelawany, who from the third book, you can see she doesn't like too much)
Your storytelling of the Wizarding Universe is amazing, Morgan. Every time I see one of your videos I immediately watch it because your style is awesome
Totally agree with the ranking. For Dumbledore, I love how he kept Trewlany on-site to protect her after her prophecy on the end of Voldemort, and Firenze after he was expelled from his tribe.
As a teacher of No-Maj music and band, this video was such a treat to watch. Profs. Helga Hufflepuff, Flitwick, McGonagall, Sprout, and Lupin are my top 5 #teachinggoals :) . I feel even more inspired to help my students reach their instrument playing goals after remembering how Profs. Sprout and Lupin did that so well.
LOVE LOVE LOVE McGonagall. also Lupin, will always make me made the movies left out some of her best parts and dealing with Umbridge. I also love when she tell Neville she is going to tell his grandma that charms isn't bad!
I totally agree with lupin’s place in the list. And when it came to that lesson where Snape was harassing Neville, he responded in the most Marauder way possible, and I mean it.
Every time he comes out with a new HP video, I think Ok there’s nothing else he can cover and then he finds something! I love the never ending HP videos
I'd STILL like to know exactly why Barty taught Harry to fight off the Imperius Curse. Did Rowling ever answer that? And I'm not counting Dumbledore as DADA professor as canon. Galatea Merrythought, going by what Rowling wrote in The Half-Blood Prince, had been teaching that position for 50 years by the time Voldemort was 16, which would've also meant she taught it during Newt's time at Hogwarts. (And I'm still salty we never got to see Snape teach DADA in the films, after so many years of waiting for him to get the job!)
He did not teach him that, he wanted to evaluate wether Harry could reliably be put under the Imperius Curse and quickly realized that it probably will not work out.
I think when it comes to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, they wanted all magical people at Hogwarts, they just wanted to teach specific students, but I do see where you’re coming from
Rowena Ravenclaw demanding intelligent students is not "toxic". Universities in real life have minimum requirements for grades, 6th and 7th year courses have minimum OWL test score requirements, etc.
I see it that way too. She just called for intelligence and diligence, which is what today's elite schools do. That's why these schools have such a good reputation and most of them want to go to these schools and have the best opportunities after school to make the best of themselves and become rich and famous or simply make the world a better place. There's a difference between forcing students to be diligent and smart, and forcing students to be smart and not forcing anyone to work so hard and hard to achieve high standards. Or in business at all. Would you rather live in a home designed by an elite architect who is committed to designing the best home ever and is always willing to learn and develop or by someone who has just become an architect and doesn't have the aspirations at all building good houses, let alone improving as an architect. It's the same with sports etc. One should always strive for the best of oneself and not rest on one's genes/blood or just being nice or brave and think that's enough Ravenclaw has the best philosophy of any house.
I see your point, but this is just a school. To teach the kids basic magic so they can survive in this quite dangerous world. It should not a be a privilege like a college
Well, if she valued intelligence so much, shouldn't she want to spread knowledge instead of choosing a select few? Also, these are just literal kids, they have yet to understand or prove themselves. Neville didn't become confident until the last few books. 🤨
I don't remember anything about Lockhart after the movies, but love to think he reads his books after memory loss and believe that is who he is and becomes that brave adventurer and enjoys it, he has his own stories that are true.
A movie joke that you'll only see if you are patient enough to sit out the entire end credits is a book sold in Diagon Alley called "Who am I?" by Gilderoy Lockheart depicting a picture of him in a straightjacket. This is non-canon though, as this book only exists in the movies. In the novels the trio meets him again at St. Mungo's when they are paying Arthur Weasley a visit after Harry saw the attack on him in a vision. Now the attack itself is shown in the movies, but the visit to St. Mungo's was entirely cut out in the film. Lockheart would not remember who he is and whatever he did before, but his desire to show off and give out autographs didn't fade away from him and even tries to enforce his autograph onto Harry and friends. Lockheart was (if I remember correctly) at the same department as were Frank and Alice Longbottom (Neville's parents) spend the rest of their days after they went insane.
1:49 I'm not sure if that alone is sufficient. I'm not just saying that because I'm biased against Umbridge (okay, I am. But my point remains). While she (usually) doesn't get her hands dirty herself: -She was willing to send dementors to attack Harry. At this point, the ministry had no idea he could perform the Patronus charm, so it wasn't like they were trying to bait him into using underage magic in the presence of a muggle (of course they were happy to take advantage of the situation when he did). We are both fully aware that the dementor's kiss is described as a fate worse than death. -When disciplining Harry, she used an enchanted quill that etched his lines directly into his skin as though someone were carving it with a knife, similar to Bellatrix with Hermione, except she only carved the infamous slur once. -In her role as High Inquisitor, she had no qualms about interrogating students which, while not outright stated, presumably includes 1st and 2nd years (which are only 11 and 12 respectively). -She threatened to use the Cruciatus curse, and nothing about her behavior leading up to that point suggested she would hesitate to follow through on that threat if Hermione didn't intervene. 2:16 True, but she would have if they didn't decide to trick her. 10:14 Surprised that didn't bring him down a little. As for the thing with Neville, Crouch Jr. had to have known full well what he was doing when he called him up to demonstrate the torture curse as he was present for the Longbottom fiasco. Cheering him up was probably part of the act.
If Crouch wasn't evil and legitimately taught DAtDA, I'd argue he'd been better than Lupin was, and that's a high standard. Just from what is seen in both movie and book, Crouch definitely had a protective instinct that you rarely saw in the series. Alas, he was evil and wouldn't surprise me if what he did was just a ruse. Though it is a compelling what if.
It just shows how smart he was, despite being evil. Quite a shame, he didn't put that to use and follow in the footsteps of his father Barty Crouch Sr. I found, always so strange, that betrayal.
Severus might not have been nice, but he did teach. He taught a lot actually. Teaching how to make all those potions, (including indirectly “teaching” Harry crucial spells potions, and counter-charms) teaching Harry “expelliarmus” and protecting Harry all along, he deserves a much higher rank
I think Hagrids biggest mistake as a professor was that after the Malfoy Incident, he didn't really TEACH anything on his own. If he wanted to teach how to figure out how to take care of an unknown species, which would be a great thing to do, he could have explained what to do to figure out food, what precautions to take, what else the creature need. Instead, he only gave them different foods to offer and that's it. His lessons were more getting helpers or allowing the students to spend time with the magical creatures.
FINALLY someone who doesn’t look past Snape’s horrendous attitude just because he was bullied by James and Sirius and his love for Lily. The way he treated his students, especially Neville, was truly disgusting and he truly was pathetic. He gave his life for Harry but he had it coming for years
Movie flame! Thank you for these incredible videos, they are incredibly informative, entertaining, and straight up fantastic. I love watching them from time to time and they are a wonderful distraction from the anxieties of life. Keep up the incredible work plz. 😊
11:00 that's what makes her one of the best professors imo. Being a smart student is so hard when you're constantly surrounded by people who can't compare, but that's the thing. Ravenclaws understand each other. Roweena wanted them to be able to share their intelligence so they could flourish, without someone pouting about how they didn't get it. A professors job is to make students thrive, and that's what she did
I only have one disagreement here. I think Quirrel should be pushed to just one above Umbridge, mainly because he didn’t really push for bullying, didn’t harm anyone other than Harry, and didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable in class, which I really can’t say about Umbridge, and definitely not about the Carrows
@@bloodysimile4893 I don't think so. Killing unicorns seems to be such a strong taboo in the Wizarding World that "I was only following orders" should not be an excuse.
Agree with the top 3, it’s amazing that the top 5 are related to my house Hufflepuff which have such loyalty, kindness, patience and hardworking. They don’t have anyone as enemies or don’t exclude anyone like the other houses!
I love how all the worst teachers were evil, cruel, manipulative and pretty scary people and then there’s Lockhart. A complete idiot, who’s just obsessed with himself and has almost no brains
Never understood the edgy people that defended Snape. Yes, he kept his promise and was pivotal in the end of Voldemort but doing it for selfish reasons. The same people always say Dumbledore is corrupt and unfair because of awarding points to Harry and the rest for saving the school from Quirrell but Snape literally took points away from Hermione and Neville for just existing whenever they went to Potions class. Snape is not a good dude. He just happened to do the noble thing by keeping his promise
Thank you for putting an honest ranking for Hagrid instead of putting him higher up just because most of us like him as a character. He was definitely one of my favorite characters from the books and I adore the actor who plays him in the films but he was a pretty awful professor Lol I pretty much agree with the rest of the rankings as well, you've given a very fair and balanced ranked list. I hope you're doing well, Morgan, and I'm greatly anticipating the next easter egg/breakdown video! 🙂
I have not heard one person who says they liked the story of Cursed Child. They say the quality of the play was good or it has good songs or the actors were good but they always say the story sucked.
@@occheermommy The story is actually the worst thing I've ever seen in Harry Potter ever, I would rather be in Dolores Umbridge's class than read that book
Mcgonagall is by far my favorite, she very much reminds me of my grandmother who I was very close with but passed years ago. The tough part of her never makes people feel less than but pushes them to be better.
One of the great McGonagall moments for me is in the chamber of secrets, when Harry went after Neville's ball that Malfoy threw with his broom and McGonagall saw him. When she called him out I thought she would put him in detention, I stead she took him to the quidditch captain feeling him she found a seeker for the team
10:02 I do get it, but at that point you have to consider that he is basically in this sense professor quirl. Quirl wasn’t as good, teaching wise but he was still a teacher that held decent classes, but had an alterior motive to kill and betray the school, which in all honesty is the same thing here. He was a great teacher but he is still evil and shouod probably be around top 25 following your previous logic
Actually, the only house which never produced a Death Eater was Hufflepuff. Grifindor has Pettigrew, Ravenclaw has Quirrell (who is not technically a Death Eater, but can still count).
Dude you read my mind every time.the Harry Potter screen time compared to the book’s video came out right after I started reading the books. Now that I’m reading them I I noticed the books has a lot more information on the professors
The only problem with snape being so far back on list is the fact that snape actually did everything he could to protect Harry even though he was tough on him
1:12 Just one thing I was always confused, there was one mobile game called the hogwarts mystery, indicates that Quirinus quirrel was a muggle studies professor before harry enrolled, and he went on the travel to Albania and then became Voldemort’s follower, then came back as the defense against the dark arts professor…… according to the game, he was a overall good professor. And I really liked him in the game, he act totally normal and has a very interesting background story, I really hope the game is canon tbh😢
I LOVE how the Hufflepuff qualities of loyalty and kindness are so important in this ranking, putting Helga Hufflepuff at number 3. And I agree that any professor putting children in danger, mocking or excluding them should place them way down on the list (although it's the exclusionary nature of the other three house namesakes that give each house its character). Do NOT underestimate the power of a Hufflepuff for loyalty and kindness are not their only traits! They are also brave, intelligent, and resourceful just in a quieter way. 💛
Like Voldemort’s Dada lesson (since he most likely got his role) 1)make this in to Dark arts lesson wth is this called DEFENCE AGAINST the dark arts 2)let’s teach crucio 3)let’s teach Imperius 4)let’s teach Avada Kedavra nowwww 5)crucio for detention 6)Avada kedavra for expel 7)if u break 1 rule u get a detention,2 and u get expelled 8)no quitting school or death 9)after 17,u need to become a death eater or death 10)no secret lessons or get expelled immediately 11)write using blood in every lesson 12)no hogmeades 13)if your parents got killed by me u also got killed (I left to rule ‘13’ on purpose)
To be fair, Dumbledore as a headmaster sacrifices the education for the students for years to optimize his fight against Voldemort. Just look at the people he hires.
So while in the chamber of secrets, Lockhart actually said that he was going to go back and tell the staff that he was "To late to save the girl, and that harry and ron lost their minds at the sight of her" which infuriates me.
The thing about Trelawney is that even though she's not always right, she isn't entirely wrong. If you watch the video by SuperCarlinBrothers, they prove that Trelawney isn't just making stuff up, and is likely just misinterpreting what she sees. If she is making it all up, then she has some pretty lucky guesses. I personally believe Trelawney is a true seer, why else would Dumbledore keep her around, and why would he put so much faith in the prophecy she made, if he didn't see something in her that others don't want to. I wouldn't change her placement, since there are many occasions where Harry and Ron made up random stuff for their homework and got passing grades. However she's one of the few teachers who've made a personal connection with more than one student.
It's a tough job placing Snape in the ranking. On the one hand, he has a lot of bad characteristics, but on the other hand, he is incredibly knowledgeable, and he sets high standards.
I love how you put Dumbledore number 1. I agree with all the ranking. The only think I might have differ with is I would have switched the Carrows and Quirrel.
What’s baffling with Barty is that he was one of those responsible for ruining Neville’s childhood and ripping his parents away from him permanently, but was also responsible for making Neville a confident and truly gifted force in hogwarts. He ruined his early life but gave him the rest of his life
I appreciate your hard work that makes your video entertaining i enjoy your content and don't ever give up because your audience is always with you keep doing amazing videos❤just wanted to spread positivity ♥️
There was nothing to protect about Lupin. He drank Wolfsbane all the time except for when his friends, one of which were dead and the other on the run after “killing” the former. It was pure malicious revenge
that's two things of value Snape truly did as a professor across 6 books (the lupin incident doesn't exactly count as he was acting far outside his duties as a professor, and he vowed to protect Harry to Dumbledore). The fact of the matter is that his faults FAR outweigh his successes as a teacher.
I think Snape should be higher because he vowed to protect harry and played a huge role throughout the series by giving Dumbledore useful information about Voldemort.
I would personally argue that the Carrows were on par or maybe even worse than Quirrel. In Deathly Hallows when the golden trio return to Hogwarts before the battle, Neville tells his story and says how the Carrows would torture him and the other pure bloods and bash them around, but "they wouldn't actually kill" them bc they were pureblood. Insinuating that they were in fact systemstically murdering muggleborn and possibly half blood students
My top 3 :) 1.Prof.Dumbledore : do i need to explain? 1.Prof.Snape : i simply adore him and i believe he's an absolute genius in both DADA & Potions and since I consider myself Slytherin,it's very much justifiable I believe :) 2.Prof.Mcgonagall : A queen 3.Prof.Lupin : he's genuine and absolutely fantastic in DADA and idk he simply seems like a teacher you could go to with your problems and he'd understand.
@@John-xr9ry well just because he wasn't good with harry Or neville doesn't make him any bad for me and he was really good to draco and other Slytherin's as much as I'm aware of so yea I like him and ig I'm allowed to have a choice :)
I think you're pretty much right on most of the teachers however I think Snape should have a little higher number. He was probably the bravest men in Hogwarts because he knew he was going to have to kill Dumbledore and he didn't back down.
My top 5 was close to yours. I had Dumbledore as one. I think that is "pretty obvious" than McGonagall, flitwick, lupin, and slughorn. It was a really close call for the 2 and 3 spot. flitwick really is a great teacher. Even the twins say he always gets his students through their OWLs. Neville got the same grade as Ron and Harry if I remember right. Everyone did well in his class. McGonagall got it in the end though. She seemed a lot more strict but also very fair. She was also teaching a class that I feel was more difficult.
My best professors in the Harry Potter series: Luvin, Dumbledore, Mcgonagell, Hagrid, Snape, Godric Gryfandor, Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin. And my most hated professor: Umbridge for cruel detention sessions in Order of the Phoenix.
Even though the Carrows are objectively the worst, I'd still put Umbridge as the worst for one big reason. She is so relatable. Many people have always had that one teacher at school who they just absolutely hated for being really nasty. Teachers like the Carrows however would just never be allowed to happen, at least in places with more reasonable human rights records.
Yes! Scary because it's true! When I was teaching, I worked under a principal that we secretly called "Umbridge". She wasn't cruel per se, but she physically resembled Umbridge and made our lives miserable with her incompetence. (She ended up being demoted 😁)
McGonagall will always be my personal number one professor. She is stern, yes, but at the end of the day, she cares for the students, helps them see the best in themselves and best of all for me, she put Umbridge in her place more than once, which says a lot about who she is as both a person and as a teacher. The Order of the Phoenix book is THE book for McGonagall moments.
Maybe Voldemort lived vicariously through Quirrell in more ways than one. His main goal of possessing someone in Hogwarts was to get the Sorcerer's Stone, but by using Quirrell, he got to be closer to the Defense Against the Dark Arts than ever.
the funny thing about snape is that he could easily be the best potions professor hogwarts had ever seen,he had an incredible talent in potions and harry managed to get on the top of his class in potions just by reading his instructions,every student on hogwarts could be a potions master if he taught them properly
He also developed his own spells and taught classes well. Honestly although he is mean he actually is a pretty great teacher
@@infamousz5260 he is not a great teacher because you don't bully your students while being a great teacher haha

@@infamousz5260 naah omg, how would you feel if your kid gets bullied by a teacher 😂😭
@@Leonschii as long as they actually learn something
Great ranking! I think one I would switch would be the Carrows and Quirrell. Even though he literally had Voldemort on the back of his head, he Quirrell actually taught students and didn’t torture them like the Carrows. I get why you ranked him last but I thought I’d share
I mean the Carrows also taught them how to brutally murder people so that's pretty useful
Yea same lol
agreed
Agreed!
I agree!
The fact that Remus just missed the top 3 is both inspiring and depressing. With just 1 year, he proved just how good of a teacher he was. Imagine if he hadn't died and all the students he could have inspired, including perhaps Harry's children. He really is a tragic character.
Remus dying is sometimes sadder to me than Fred dying. He lived a very, very difficult life, having a painful childhood with his transformations, left school never able to live up to his full potential, scorned and shunned wherever he went until he was forced to live in poverty, finally found some happiness with Tonks and Teddy, only to die never having the opportunity to see him grow up. I know Teddy ending up an orphan was meant to be a Harry parallel, but I really, really wish Remus hadn't been killed off. It would have been nice to have just one surviving marauder. He would have been such a good teacher and a good father.
@@gracexconi always said that i hate JK rowling for killing lupin instead of umbridge. Lupin is one of the best character ever, even tho james and sirius were bullies he didnt took part of being a bully. He deserved so much more than died as hero.

@@pearlleeooo9955EXACTLY WHY ON EARTH WHY HAVEN’T THEY HAVE THIS SCENE IN THE MOVIES THAT SHOWS HOW BRAVE SHE IS! THIS IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!
This is one of my favorite McGonagall moments from the movies, and what I was coming down here to comment. Did it happen in the books tho? I'm not sure, its been a while since I read them.
Her connection with Harry was so important to him, that he used the cruciatus curse, one of the 3 unforgivable curses on Amycus Carrow because he spit at Mcgonagall's face.
Hearing you talk about Neville and Sprouts relationship as student and teacher was very nice to hear, you should do that for a full video. Best/worse student-teacher relationships at Hogwarts.
Worse: Snape with literally every single student minus the Slytherins 😂
I wish movieflame did this
Damn that's a good topic
A thing you didn't mention about Lupin, is that when he was exposed for being a werewolf students didn't want him to leave, Harry even argued with him, wanting Lupin to stay. If that isn't a symbol of being an exellent teacher, I don't know what is.

Brilliant! 😂
it's such a shame that lupin didn't last long in Hogwarts as a teacher since he's so fantastic at it.
Yeah, but unfortunately lycanthropy can carry some serious consequences. Best to just nip that problem in the bud away from school than live with the fear of gravely mauling a student without even knowing it
@@Prophet-dw9gzyeah which was caused by voldemort cursing the position because in 1973 when he returned dumbledore rejected him
This isn't related to the video, but it's a cool detail I've noticed. For the entire Prisoner of Azkaban, they keep referring to Sirius as "Black", but the very next chapter after it's revealed that he's innocent, they call him "Sirius" and it stays that way for the rest of the series.
one of my favorite moments from mcgonagall was in the fifth book. just read this conversation and you'll see why i like it so much:
McGonagall: Is it true that you yelled at Professor Umbridge?
Harry: Yes.
McGonagall: You called her a liar?
Harry: Yes.
McGonagall: And you told her that You-Know-Who is back?
Harry: Yes.
McGonagall: Have a biscuit, Potter.
Harry: What?
McGonagall: Have a biscuit.
**a few minutes later**
McGonagall: Have another biscuit.
Harry: No, thanks.
McGonagall: Don't be ridiculous.
That was so sweet
I think harry deserves an honorable mention in this video since even though he was never an actual professor at Hogwarts Dumbledors Army was basically a DATDA class.
Harry would return to give occasional lessons on the dark arts and how to defend against them. So I guess you could make the argument that he did teach a little
The irony of Harry, one of the best teachers in Hogwarts History, is suggested to be an honourable mention, which in terms of ranking is worse than last place!!!
You basically said Harry is worse than Quirrell, which I know was not your intention.
Professor Potter does have a nice ring to it
I'd have Barty Crouch Junior even higher. He connected and inspired so many students during his time. He may have been very evil, but he didn't bully students or play favourites. He taught Harry how to throw off the Imperius Curse from Voldemort. Even more than that we only saw him in his first year teaching and Fred and George were raving about his classses on Day 1. Think how great he would at teaching if he'd had as much expierence as McGonagall or Slughorn.
He did get 12 owls
he used unforgivable curses on children😂 Thats not a good teacher, it's an Askaban life sentence
@@marcopolo1472in a perfectly legal context though. Otherwise he would’ve been sent to Azkaban even as Mad-Eye
Honestly I’m curious as to why he decided to become a death eater rather than a full time teacher, he would’ve been set for life as a permanent teacher
If anything, Barty Junior did more harm than good for Voldemort by being an excellent DADA professor
I think it's important to remember that Hagrid was harassed and bullied in his early teaching years. On top of that, he is probably the most knowledgeable person in the school on magical creatures. It's just that we saw him in his formative teaching years where his confidence was being hit a lot. He definitely has LOADS of potential.
We see less than 3 years of Hagrid as a teacher. I imagine he got better as time went on.
Also, since he was so big and strong and had the protection of giant's blood he didn't see many dangerous magical creatures as dangerous because he could handle them, unlike the average student or teacher.
Potential doesn’t mean anything if we don’t see him reach it. I love Hagrid but as a person not as a teacher
No he did not have potential. He sent 12 year olds into the Dark Forest to clear his name, the blast ended screwts were actually illegal but once again Dumbledore got him off the hook, he brought a full giant back and tied it in the forest bidding Harry and Hermione to take care of him even after Grawp almost crushed Hermione to death, held a funeral for the very spider that ordered his kids to eat Harry and Ron, and....he never GRADUATED school. In real life, whether he was guilty or not, no school would ever hire someone uneducated to teach any classes. Ever! It's not legal. No, Hagrid was a full on menace and never should have been a teacher.
Potential, yes. But you must admit, if you've red the books, he was knowledgeable but he wasn't a very good teacher and inspired no one with his teaching.
I would personally put McGonagall at #1, since she seems to be the Professor that does the most behind-the-scenes work for the good of Hogwarts on top of her great teaching
yeah and dumbledore was bad with his judgement letting snape teach harry legilems and keeping harry away from him for a year, mcgonagall never made any mistakes
And she shows a lot of faith and trust in her students to, no matter what. She will always be Loyal, fair and honest. She definitely deserves 1st. Even though Dumbledore has the most bravery, McGonagall protected Harry in the last book/movie. And Dumbledore clearly liked Gryffindor the most. Proof: In the first movie when Dumbledore was revealing all the house point for the house cup, he could have just put the ‘last minute points’ to Gryffindor instead of getting slytherins hopes up first, so he was just mainly trolling slytherin lol.
Thank you. I'm tired of many fans defending Snape's bullying behavior, denying his behavior is bullying and thinking that Snape being bullied in school somehow justifies all his awful actions.
exactly. if he was billied so much why would he make his students feel the same why?
I am a snape fan but I definitely agree no teacher should be bullying students(Half of teachers lol-)
@@anjalikarao8669 Well unfortunatlly sometimes parents who have been beaten beat their children as well.
@@sawanna508 i dont understand that, if you have gone through a horrible experience, why would you want a inncocent child to suffer as well
Being bullied never justifies becoming a bully. Snape more or less took out the bitterness he understandably had against James on Harry.
As a Ravenclaw, glad to see my house professor so high. Flitwick's quiet "Yes!" at the Twins humiliating Umbridge is one of my favorites.
if it was down to teaching quality I would probably have him even higher because of the general proficiency of pretty much all the students being able to use charm spells and they would perhaps use them more than any other branch of magic - for instance I love Sprout, but in all honesty how proficient were the students in general in Herbology and how many that you read about really used it that much, aside from Neville who was really enthusiastic about it we don't really see anyone else use it as much or displayed the same degree of proficiency or usage that the vast majority did in charm spells - but I do get that this list does take the teacher's personality and relationships with the students into account also. I could actually probably see Rowena Ravenclaw being pretty similar to Professor McGonogall as a teacher (with a similar demeanor) Firm but Fair and not suffering any Fools Gladly 😄
same here! im a ravenclaw
I love him. He is one of the reasons I'm so proud of being a Ravenaw! His background actually helped me deal with some things in my past and move on! 💙🦅
And not just charms, but he's an extremely skilled duelist, plus the choir director! Very well rounded skill set. I had no idea that he was half goblin. I would LOVE to know more about his family. Flitwick is absolutely a teacher that I would love to have!
wasn't Footwick one of the best duelists ever?
It's a shame it wasn't shown in the movies. Unfortunately, it was rather unimportant and a joke.
I mostly agree with your placements, and reasons for them, they make sense, but I would switch McGogongall and Dumbledore if it were my list, but that's because she's my favorite Hogwarts professor. I love how she's strict without being mean and shows care for her students, she even showed concern over Draco Malfoy when she saw Moody/Barty Crouch had transfigured him into a ferret. But your reasons for putting Dumbledore as number 1 make sense, I understand why you did, and love that McGogongall was number 2.
Thinking about it, I agree although I don't have any problem with the ranking. Dumbledore did say in the Order of the Phoenix, that Hogwarts needs her before he dueled Fudge, Umbridge, and the aurors in his office. He was soooooooo right about that. She had wayyyy too many moments throughout the books, but her in Deathly Hallows during the Battle of Hogwarts sticks out like a sore thumb
I too would have put Prof. Mcgonagall as #1. I think, as a teacher, she was more even handed and inspiring even over Dumbledore. Part of me believes that the students were more at ease confiding in her than any other teacher (besides, maybe "the Golden Trio" with Hagrid).
I agree, because Dumbledore still had some bias. The fact that in the first book he almost invents points to reward the Gryffondor house just to win over Slytherin, is yeah, I don't know, not really fair. Slytherin won fair and square. He also let Harry & co break the school rules multiple times, while McGonnagall was very reasonable, but she was fair when even the students of her own house broke the rules. When Harry deserved it to be punished, she did, while Dumbledore let him get away with almost everything. And I think that's a quality of a great professor, making everyone equal.
It really says something that Neville's boggart was Snape. Neville's parents were tortured into insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange, and his greatest fear was his potions professor. If that doesn't tell you what kind of teacher Snape was, I don't know what will
Because there's a difference between hate and fear. Neville feared Snape. He hated Bellatrix. He'd avoid Snape if he could. He'd go after Bellatrix.
Great list! I wouldn't put Dumbledore so high though. Yes, he is a good person and wants what is best for everyone, but he is also extremely secretive and manipulative. He is quite obviously biased towards Gryffindor and often gives them extra points. He has also put several students in real danger. I would probably put him at number 3 or 4.
McGonagle deserves that top spot! She is extremely sweet and really cares about her students and their wellbeing, but at the same time she is firm, strict and insists that her students take her lessons seriously, because magic can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. She has a commanding presence that demands respect, but her kindness and caring make you want to respect her anyway.
Agreed. You could argue that many of his administrative decisions actively put students in danger.
I was thinking the same.
Yea he was not the best at making safe decisions if he got put through an inspection as a muggle school Hogwarts would be shut down
True! McGonagall deserves the number one spot. She always stands up for students like she did for Harry in Order of Pheonix against Umbridge.
I also thought he would have McGonagall at number 1! I will say though, I think Dumbledore gives Gryffindor so many points because he knows Snape takes so many points away from them, specifically 🤷🏻♂️
McGonagall will always be my no.1 🖤 I think dumbledore should be a bit lower, just like Slughorn he too gathered a group of students and people around him that would be loyal to him and do stuff for him, only Dumbledore collected the outcasts..
And yeah, McGonagall just has it all. I think we can all relate to a teacher in our lives that pushed us to see the best in ourselves, and handled classes with great knowledge and righteousness.
I'm a diehard Slytherin, but McGonagall have always been, and always will be, my favourite.
idk he didnt really "collect" them he only had them in the order after they graduated and while they were there he didnt REALLY play favorites that much
I wouldn’t call what Dumbledore did “playing favorites”. One could argue he’s acting as a mentor to said outcast students who may not be getting that kind of relationship from their peers or even other teachers.
McGonagall has always been my favorite character overall!
Mcgonagall is a queen but she's too strict ro be first
@@guyhathansaintil5218 ah yes dumbledore didn’t play favorites but he didn’t punish harry after countless rule breaking he even gave points
Neville(I think, I haven't read the books in a while) also said that the Carrows made Umbridge look tame.
Yeah i mean they’re probably less annoying but more brutal and evil than her imo.
@@denizkenger52well I would rather be annoyed then chained up, beat and hit with the torture curse.
In defence for the founders. If you are one of the gratest wizard and you make a school with great friends you might want to choose your own students. And since Helga chose the rest, the others could be more picky about their students.
That’s the same argument real life companies/organizations use to justify racism, sexism, homophobia etc. though 😅

@@pikachu3b366mGood character doesn't mean good person. Just like thousands would argue Voldemort was a great character but obviously not a great person.

Possibly the best wrriten character in the series, i love how jk linked him to dumbledore(my fav character,rip micheal gambon and the character itself),while still maintaining his demenor,bullied into bullying others, while showing harry(his last moments) the truth
Snape was an amazing wizard though. During their duel, you could tell Snape clearly feared McGonnagul’s skills. Yet he managed to avoid being hit, avoid hurting her, knock out both the Carrow’s (making it look like an accident,) and still escape unharmed.
That was impressive.
(Plus if you notice, none of Harry snd Ginnys kids were named Gilderoy.)😂
I would put Barty Crouch Jr. much higher on the list. Despite him being a Death Eater, he actually did a great disservice to Death Eaters and Voldemort-he taught the kids how to fight and not be afraid of the pain. He did not treat them as kids and I believe prepared them for the Battle of Hogwarts, along with Harry’s lessons to the DA.
On the other note, why is Harry not on the list? He was quite good, although didn’t have a “professor’s” title attached to him 😊
Harry was on the list. Also you said "Hogwards" instead of "Hogwarts" but that's not really a big deal. I do think Barty Crouch Jr should be higher though for all the reasons you outlined.
@@slightlymaddog Where was Harry? I must have missed it.
In my opinion the fake Moody was the second best Defense Against The Darks Arts teacher.
On the other hand, a number of those kids were future Death Eaters. Particularly the older ones.
Could Draco have disarmed Dumbledore, without Crouch?
I don't get get how two death eaters that tortured students regulary are better teachers than Quirrell.
Pretty weird and stupid honestly
Only because Quirrell planned to bring Voldemort back with the Sorcerer’s(or Philosopher’s) stone. Which I think the Carrow siblings should’ve been worse than Quirrel
Yh I bet they didn't show them an iguana
Did quirell teach muggle studies
@@caseellovelike143 No, he used to teach Defense against dark arts.
I re-read OotP pretty recently, and the scenes in Firenze's divination class are awesome. The centaur methods seem like the real deal in-world, they're just on a more cosmic scale than a personal level, and iirc some of the students really enjoy it. Absolute crime for him to be below Trelawney imo, especially since Grubbly-plank's teaching outranks Hagrid's connections with the students
Firenze insulted human divination during a class rather than politely explain the difference. He may have been banished but kinda had a superior mindset of his herd. That’s why Pavarti and lavender still prefer Trwany
You cant say they prefer Trelawny because one of them had a crush on him. Also him saying that about human divination is understandable because he is still a centaur. You cant expect him to understand all the human rules of etiquette. He has rarely been around humans. It’s like expecting a chimp to act like a Lord or Lady of the upperclass and then saying he is terrible because he uses the wrong fork.
Agree.. I would put him above Trelawney. I actually would put Trelawney lower than Sinistra and other not much known professors. They were at least real professors. Trelawney was a fake. Dumbledore hired only only to protect her
@@madeyed2702 agreed
My daughter is 7, and I've spent the last two years or so reading the series to her out loud. As a second grader, she's not had all that many teachers, but we do spend time taking about which teachers are good, bad, otherwise... and why they are so. Hardest part however, is coming up with different voices while reading to distinguish each teacher (and other character), similar to the
way Stephen Fry does in his rendition. Grubbly-Plank is fun... she (along with Nymphadoa Tonks) get hard Scottish. Dumbledore gets London upper class, Sprout gets British Cockney, etc. Often, I try to base it on either their social class, or how exotic a specific professors background is. Kinda a fun game.
Your child/children will remember that though.

Considering the Carrow siblings have committed literal war crimes I don't understand how the hell they were let through the doors of hogwarts.
I love watching Neville's evolution, especially in the third movie
Because Voldemort through his puppet Minister had control of the Ministry and Snape who at the time was still acting as a Death Eater spy for Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
It was during voldemort comeback era. Everything is under his control including hogwarts.
Because Voldemort had control of the school at that point.
Great video! You got me all emotional with the way you described Dumbledore as a person
4:50 The reason why Snape hated Neville so much is unforgivable:
Neville could have been the chosen one, meaning that Lily would still be alive.
Honestly, that's more of a fan theory. Snape never 'hated' Neville he often abused his power as a professor and Neville was just an easy target to pick on because of his lack of talent (at the time) and his forgetfulness.
I didn't realize that actually! That makes me think of even less
This is a fan theory
But that was never the reason given for Snape’s treatment to Neville. It’s just fanon.
Neville’s literally the opposite of Severus Snape.
I watch your videos already for some years and i never get disappointed! Thank you so much for all your hard work so we understand better. This ranking list is on point!
I would switch Helga Hufflepuff and Remus Lupin because we knew more about how Lupin was as a teacher and he definitely was very accepting of everyone, too.
I would also put Professor Vector on the higher ranked triple tie because she was able to make Hermione love a subject that is basically Mathematics in the wizarding world so that makes me think she's great.
But Hermione would likely already be interested in that subject. Now if she got someone like Ron interested...that would be something.
Although I understand Snape’s story arc and how seeing his thoughts in the pensive following his death changed Harry’s opinion about him, I will never understand why he gave his son the middle name of Severus. He was a monster to those students all 6 years!
And I’ll never understand why Harry’s daughter’s middle name is Luna and not Minerva considering all McGonagall did for Harry
Think about it this way, Snape was the third main character of the entire series, after HP (the trio in fact which i consider as one) and Voldy himself, which he had fooled until the very end "you have been a truly loyal and devoted servant" truly deserving the 'bravest man' accolade so i think it is in fact well deserved.
Even as a professor, during hp's years at hogwarts, to protect his students he: confronted Quirrell, helped hp during quiditch, confronted a troll getting injured in the process, was strict with the students to make sure they take his classes seriously, taught his classes about werewolves when Lupin arrived so they could protect themselves, challenged Lupin(a werewolf) and Sirius(escaped killer extremely dangerous top security convict) alone, helped students avoid pregnancies and more (until deathly hallows when he had to keep up the facade).
I have never considered him as being evil or a monster, only strict, efficient, proficient, misunderstood, callous at times, and, in the end, underappreciated, unrecognized.
@@oTurkish13x I get what your saying, but you need to realize that he was no where near perfect. He was biased towards own house, severely against Gryffindor, terrorized many kids to the point, like Morgan says in the video, where Neville's worst fear is Snape, and he literally was a world class jerk to the son of the woman he had loved for 3/4 of his life. Yes, he did majorly redeem himself in the last book, but that doesn't excuse what he did during his time as a teacher.
@@persassyjackson8 prob bc of ginny and lunas friendship ykyk
While I don't entirely excuse Snape's treatment of students and him calling Lily a mudblood, a lot of people forget that the things that had happened to him throughout his life would likely turn anyone into him. He had a poor childhood due to crap parents, he was bullied and humiliated to the point where James and Sirius nearly killed him which caused him to insult Lily in which he very quickly felt intense remorse for, and then when things couldn't possibly seem worse, James got with and married Lily and had a kid with her. Then to cap it all off Lily was killed by Voldemort. He just couldn't catch a break.
Agree with everything, but I'd put minnie at top! I just adore her, especially in the order of the phoenix; every single scene with her and umbridge together is phenomenal and really shows how amazing and supportive she is of other students as well as teachers (even trelawany, who from the third book, you can see she doesn't like too much)
Your storytelling of the Wizarding Universe is amazing, Morgan. Every time I see one of your videos I immediately watch it because your style is awesome
aren’t you supposed to admired by Percy Jackson’s style, not by Harry potters?
Totally agree with the ranking. For Dumbledore, I love how he kept Trewlany on-site to protect her after her prophecy on the end of Voldemort, and Firenze after he was expelled from his tribe.
As a teacher of No-Maj music and band, this video was such a treat to watch. Profs. Helga Hufflepuff, Flitwick, McGonagall, Sprout, and Lupin are my top 5 #teachinggoals :) . I feel even more inspired to help my students reach their instrument playing goals after remembering how Profs. Sprout and Lupin did that so well.
LOVE LOVE LOVE McGonagall. also Lupin, will always make me made the movies left out some of her best parts and dealing with Umbridge. I also love when she tell Neville she is going to tell his grandma that charms isn't bad!
reminding her that just because she failed charms, doesn't mean the class is worthless.
Would so have loved to have seen that letter
I totally agree with lupin’s place in the list. And when it came to that lesson where Snape was harassing Neville, he responded in the most Marauder way possible, and I mean it.
Oh? You didn't think he sould be at least higher than Hufflepuff?
Every time he comes out with a new HP video, I think Ok there’s nothing else he can cover and then he finds something! I love the never ending HP videos
I still have a list over 150 Harry Potter video ideas lol. They won’t stop any time soon
@@MovieFlame We are here for the long run!!!! You’re amazing!
Im here for it
@@MovieFlamecan you make a timeline about the life Gellert Grindelwald he’s my favorite 😍 bad guy 💙💙💙
Love this video! 😊 So much humor with these characters, like Lockhart, Umbridge, Snape, Binns, Trelawney...
I'd STILL like to know exactly why Barty taught Harry to fight off the Imperius Curse. Did Rowling ever answer that? And I'm not counting Dumbledore as DADA professor as canon. Galatea Merrythought, going by what Rowling wrote in The Half-Blood Prince, had been teaching that position for 50 years by the time Voldemort was 16, which would've also meant she taught it during Newt's time at Hogwarts. (And I'm still salty we never got to see Snape teach DADA in the films, after so many years of waiting for him to get the job!)
I guess he impersonated Moody a bit TOO well.
He did not teach him that, he wanted to evaluate wether Harry could reliably be put under the Imperius Curse and quickly realized that it probably will not work out.
I think he was hoping to make Harry a Death Eater one day. (If he survived.)
I think when it comes to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, they wanted all magical people at Hogwarts, they just wanted to teach specific students, but I do see where you’re coming from
Rowena Ravenclaw demanding intelligent students is not "toxic". Universities in real life have minimum requirements for grades, 6th and 7th year courses have minimum OWL test score requirements, etc.
I see it that way too.
She just called for intelligence and diligence, which is what today's elite schools do. That's why these schools have such a good reputation and most of them want to go to these schools and have the best opportunities after school to make the best of themselves and become rich and famous or simply make the world a better place.
There's a difference between forcing students to be diligent and smart, and forcing students to be smart and not forcing anyone to work so hard and hard to achieve high standards.
Or in business at all.
Would you rather live in a home designed by an elite architect who is committed to designing the best home ever and is always willing to learn and develop or by someone who has just become an architect and doesn't have the aspirations at all building good houses, let alone improving as an architect.
It's the same with sports etc.
One should always strive for the best of oneself and not rest on one's genes/blood or just being nice or brave and think that's enough
Ravenclaw has the best philosophy of any house.
I see your point, but this is just a school. To teach the kids basic magic so they can survive in this quite dangerous world. It should not a be a privilege like a college
Well, if she valued intelligence so much, shouldn't she want to spread knowledge instead of choosing a select few? Also, these are just literal kids, they have yet to understand or prove themselves. Neville didn't become confident until the last few books. 🤨
Your first point is valid. As to your second, I think Rowena may be the reason for those minimum OWL scores.
I don't remember anything about Lockhart after the movies, but love to think he reads his books after memory loss and believe that is who he is and becomes that brave adventurer and enjoys it, he has his own stories that are true.
Omg that would be cool
The new version of him could probably be that hero he wrote about
A movie joke that you'll only see if you are patient enough to sit out the entire end credits is a book sold in Diagon Alley called "Who am I?" by Gilderoy Lockheart depicting a picture of him in a straightjacket. This is non-canon though, as this book only exists in the movies. In the novels the trio meets him again at St. Mungo's when they are paying Arthur Weasley a visit after Harry saw the attack on him in a vision. Now the attack itself is shown in the movies, but the visit to St. Mungo's was entirely cut out in the film. Lockheart would not remember who he is and whatever he did before, but his desire to show off and give out autographs didn't fade away from him and even tries to enforce his autograph onto Harry and friends.
Lockheart was (if I remember correctly) at the same department as were Frank and Alice Longbottom (Neville's parents) spend the rest of their days after they went insane.
I like to believe he reads about this guy, and hopes that one day he can grow up be brave and heroic, like the character in those books!
1:49 I'm not sure if that alone is sufficient. I'm not just saying that because I'm biased against Umbridge (okay, I am. But my point remains). While she (usually) doesn't get her hands dirty herself:
-She was willing to send dementors to attack Harry. At this point, the ministry had no idea he could perform the Patronus charm, so it wasn't like they were trying to bait him into using underage magic in the presence of a muggle (of course they were happy to take advantage of the situation when he did). We are both fully aware that the dementor's kiss is described as a fate worse than death.
-When disciplining Harry, she used an enchanted quill that etched his lines directly into his skin as though someone were carving it with a knife, similar to Bellatrix with Hermione, except she only carved the infamous slur once.
-In her role as High Inquisitor, she had no qualms about interrogating students which, while not outright stated, presumably includes 1st and 2nd years (which are only 11 and 12 respectively).
-She threatened to use the Cruciatus curse, and nothing about her behavior leading up to that point suggested she would hesitate to follow through on that threat if Hermione didn't intervene.
2:16 True, but she would have if they didn't decide to trick her.
10:14 Surprised that didn't bring him down a little. As for the thing with Neville, Crouch Jr. had to have known full well what he was doing when he called him up to demonstrate the torture curse as he was present for the Longbottom fiasco. Cheering him up was probably part of the act.
Placing Helga Hulpuff on the top of the other 3 founders ❤️ No words. You really worked hard for this video. Love it Morgan
If Crouch wasn't evil and legitimately taught DAtDA, I'd argue he'd been better than Lupin was, and that's a high standard. Just from what is seen in both movie and book, Crouch definitely had a protective instinct that you rarely saw in the series.
Alas, he was evil and wouldn't surprise me if what he did was just a ruse. Though it is a compelling what if.
It just shows how smart he was, despite being evil. Quite a shame, he didn't put that to use and follow in the footsteps of his father Barty Crouch Sr. I found, always so strange, that betrayal.
@@HandsUpforThePanther I think at some point he was a doctor at some point 😏
@@diamonshade7484 Excuse me? 😂
@@diamonshade7484 10/10.
Severus might not have been nice, but he did teach. He taught a lot actually. Teaching how to make all those potions, (including indirectly “teaching” Harry crucial spells potions, and counter-charms) teaching Harry “expelliarmus” and protecting Harry all along, he deserves a much higher rank
I think Hagrids biggest mistake as a professor was that after the Malfoy Incident, he didn't really TEACH anything on his own. If he wanted to teach how to figure out how to take care of an unknown species, which would be a great thing to do, he could have explained what to do to figure out food, what precautions to take, what else the creature need. Instead, he only gave them different foods to offer and that's it. His lessons were more getting helpers or allowing the students to spend time with the magical creatures.
FINALLY someone who doesn’t look past Snape’s horrendous attitude just because he was bullied by James and Sirius and his love for Lily. The way he treated his students, especially Neville, was truly disgusting and he truly was pathetic. He gave his life for Harry but he had it coming for years
I agree with the list, you explained so well and I was so convinced, thanks for the awesome vid!
Movie flame! Thank you for these incredible videos, they are incredibly informative, entertaining, and straight up fantastic. I love watching them from time to time and they are a wonderful distraction from the anxieties of life. Keep up the incredible work plz. 😊
11:00 that's what makes her one of the best professors imo. Being a smart student is so hard when you're constantly surrounded by people who can't compare, but that's the thing. Ravenclaws understand each other. Roweena wanted them to be able to share their intelligence so they could flourish, without someone pouting about how they didn't get it. A professors job is to make students thrive, and that's what she did
I only have one disagreement here. I think Quirrel should be pushed to just one above Umbridge, mainly because he didn’t really push for bullying, didn’t harm anyone other than Harry, and didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable in class, which I really can’t say about Umbridge, and definitely not about the Carrows
Unicorns?
@@TV-ge3uj that more Volemont doing, or cause behind the action.
@@bloodysimile4893 I don't think so. Killing unicorns seems to be such a strong taboo in the Wizarding World that "I was only following orders" should not be an excuse.
Agree with the top 3, it’s amazing that the top 5 are related to my house Hufflepuff which have such loyalty, kindness, patience and hardworking. They don’t have anyone as enemies or don’t exclude anyone like the other houses!
I love how all the worst teachers were evil, cruel, manipulative and pretty scary people and then there’s Lockhart. A complete idiot, who’s just obsessed with himself and has almost no brains
U post...I SCREAM OYESSES another amazing vid i dont even needto watch it 😅 (I'm so SO early omg)
15:17 Facts and Love ❤️ your videos
Great video!
Next you should rank death eaters based off loyality
Ooooooooh that’s actually a great idea!!
Oooh, yea please.
I'd put Bellatrix as first.
@@beatriceretops and Lucius Malfoy toward the top too
well Bellatrix was the only loyal death eater honestly nobody else cared to follow Voldemort
Hey!
I'm quite proud to see my fave teachers ranked so high. Neville (the love of my life), Pomona, Sluggy, Remus and Minerva. Thanks for this video!
Never understood the edgy people that defended Snape. Yes, he kept his promise and was pivotal in the end of Voldemort but doing it for selfish reasons. The same people always say Dumbledore is corrupt and unfair because of awarding points to Harry and the rest for saving the school from Quirrell but Snape literally took points away from Hermione and Neville for just existing whenever they went to Potions class. Snape is not a good dude. He just happened to do the noble thing by keeping his promise
Thank you for putting an honest ranking for Hagrid instead of putting him higher up just because most of us like him as a character.
He was definitely one of my favorite characters from the books and I adore the actor who plays him in the films but he was a pretty awful professor Lol I pretty much agree with the rest of the rankings as well, you've given a very fair and balanced ranked list.
I hope you're doing well, Morgan, and I'm greatly anticipating the next easter egg/breakdown video! 🙂
I love your Harry Potter videos because I am a huge Harry Potter fan and thank you for agreeing with me that the cursed child was absolutely awful.
Same
I know right the cursed child was terrible it ruined everything great about Harry Potter
@@Sondoku12 Exactly why I hate it
I have not heard one person who says they liked the story of Cursed Child. They say the quality of the play was good or it has good songs or the actors were good but they always say the story sucked.
@@occheermommy The story is actually the worst thing I've ever seen in Harry Potter ever, I would rather be in Dolores Umbridge's class than read that book
Mcgonagall is by far my favorite, she very much reminds me of my grandmother who I was very close with but passed years ago. The tough part of her never makes people feel less than but pushes them to be better.
One of the great McGonagall moments for me is in the chamber of secrets, when Harry went after Neville's ball that Malfoy threw with his broom and McGonagall saw him. When she called him out I thought she would put him in detention, I stead she took him to the quidditch captain feeling him she found a seeker for the team
That actually happened in the first book "The Philosopher's Stone"
10:02 I do get it, but at that point you have to consider that he is basically in this sense professor quirl. Quirl wasn’t as good, teaching wise but he was still a teacher that held decent classes, but had an alterior motive to kill and betray the school, which in all honesty is the same thing here. He was a great teacher but he is still evil and shouod probably be around top 25 following your previous logic
Love your content ❤️
3:16 “There’s not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin.” Well, until Quirrell that is.
Actually, the only house which never produced a Death Eater was Hufflepuff. Grifindor has Pettigrew, Ravenclaw has Quirrell (who is not technically a Death Eater, but can still count).
@@anastasiiabobeshko proves that Hufflepuff even though being called the “worst” house bcs only dunderheads go there, THAT MAY AS WELL BE THE BEST.
Dude you read my mind every time.the Harry Potter screen time compared to the book’s video came out right after I started reading the books. Now that I’m reading them I I noticed the books has a lot more information on the professors
The only problem with snape being so far back on list is the fact that snape actually did everything he could to protect Harry even though he was tough on him
Protecting one kid who you know to be the chosen one doesn't matter if you spend the other 50% of your life bullying small children until they cry
1:12 Just one thing I was always confused, there was one mobile game called the hogwarts mystery, indicates that Quirinus quirrel was a muggle studies professor before harry enrolled, and he went on the travel to Albania and then became Voldemort’s follower, then came back as the defense against the dark arts professor…… according to the game, he was a overall good professor. And I really liked him in the game, he act totally normal and has a very interesting background story, I really hope the game is canon tbh😢
I meant when he teaches muggle study, he was genuinely very nice
I LOVE how the Hufflepuff qualities of loyalty and kindness are so important in this ranking, putting Helga Hufflepuff at number 3. And I agree that any professor putting children in danger, mocking or excluding them should place them way down on the list (although it's the exclusionary nature of the other three house namesakes that give each house its character). Do NOT underestimate the power of a Hufflepuff for loyalty and kindness are not their only traits! They are also brave, intelligent, and resourceful just in a quieter way. 💛
I was sure she would be number 1, to be honest.
@@Laramaria2 💛
The idea of Voldemort being a professor at Hogwarts is honestly kinda scary considering what he's like 😰
Snape would be a teddy bear in comparison...
@@cannabishornliu6119lol
Like Voldemort’s Dada lesson (since he most likely got his role)
1)make this in to Dark arts lesson wth is this called DEFENCE AGAINST the dark arts
2)let’s teach crucio
3)let’s teach Imperius
4)let’s teach Avada Kedavra nowwww
5)crucio for detention
6)Avada kedavra for expel
7)if u break 1 rule u get a detention,2 and u get expelled
8)no quitting school or death
9)after 17,u need to become a death eater or death
10)no secret lessons or get expelled immediately
11)write using blood in every lesson
12)no hogmeades
13)if your parents got killed by me u also got killed
(I left to rule ‘13’ on purpose)
To be fair, Dumbledore as a headmaster sacrifices the education for the students for years to optimize his fight against Voldemort. Just look at the people he hires.
For dada? Its pretty complicated to choose someone else from only one single option.
With Voldemort around though, soon there wouldn’t be an education
I feel like Dumbledore knows the truth to take Voldemort down and chooses people to teach the subjects he taught himself who he trusts most
So while in the chamber of secrets, Lockhart actually said that he was going to go back and tell the staff that he was "To late to save the girl, and that harry and ron lost their minds at the sight of her" which infuriates me.
The thing about Trelawney is that even though she's not always right, she isn't entirely wrong. If you watch the video by SuperCarlinBrothers, they prove that Trelawney isn't just making stuff up, and is likely just misinterpreting what she sees. If she is making it all up, then she has some pretty lucky guesses.
I personally believe Trelawney is a true seer, why else would Dumbledore keep her around, and why would he put so much faith in the prophecy she made, if he didn't see something in her that others don't want to.
I wouldn't change her placement, since there are many occasions where Harry and Ron made up random stuff for their homework and got passing grades. However she's one of the few teachers who've made a personal connection with more than one student.
It's a tough job placing Snape in the ranking. On the one hand, he has a lot of bad characteristics, but on the other hand, he is incredibly knowledgeable, and he sets high standards.
I love how you put Dumbledore number 1. I agree with all the ranking. The only think I might have differ with is I would have switched the Carrows and Quirrel.
Only thing I'd change is adding Harry to the list! He did teach DADA in secret after all in Hogwarts!
He didn't teach all the students though
@@hogwarts4291 No, but neither did any of the others on the list :)
What’s baffling with Barty is that he was one of those responsible for ruining Neville’s childhood and ripping his parents away from him permanently, but was also responsible for making Neville a confident and truly gifted force in hogwarts. He ruined his early life but gave him the rest of his life
I appreciate your hard work that makes your video entertaining i enjoy your content and don't ever give up because your audience is always with you keep doing amazing videos❤just wanted to spread positivity ♥️
Im very pleased to see u putting in so much effort at just the young age of 25!
This talent is not something everyone has!
Keep it up!!!
Yet Snape taught Harry about the abezor and about Expelliarmus. He also protected the trio from the wolf Lupin.
Still a horrible person
There was nothing to protect about Lupin. He drank Wolfsbane all the time except for when his friends, one of which were dead and the other on the run after “killing” the former. It was pure malicious revenge
that's two things of value Snape truly did as a professor across 6 books (the lupin incident doesn't exactly count as he was acting far outside his duties as a professor, and he vowed to protect Harry to Dumbledore). The fact of the matter is that his faults FAR outweigh his successes as a teacher.
FYI protecting the trio from transformed Lupin is only in the movies
@@vignotum132 yeah that too
5:36 bro annihilated snape
I think Snape should be higher because he vowed to protect harry and played a huge role throughout the series by giving Dumbledore useful information about Voldemort.
I would personally argue that the Carrows were on par or maybe even worse than Quirrel. In Deathly Hallows when the golden trio return to Hogwarts before the battle, Neville tells his story and says how the Carrows would torture him and the other pure bloods and bash them around, but "they wouldn't actually kill" them bc they were pureblood. Insinuating that they were in fact systemstically murdering muggleborn and possibly half blood students
My top 3 :)
1.Prof.Dumbledore : do i need to explain?
1.Prof.Snape : i simply adore him and i believe he's an absolute genius in both DADA & Potions and since I consider myself Slytherin,it's very much justifiable I believe :)
2.Prof.Mcgonagall : A queen
3.Prof.Lupin : he's genuine and absolutely fantastic in DADA and idk he simply seems like a teacher you could go to with your problems and he'd understand.
Snape may be talented but he cannot teach at all
@@John-xr9ry haha i respect your opinion :) but like as for me yea he's a great prof
@@nahyd9965, interesting, love to know why you think he’s a great prof

@@nahyd9965, I could argue with you and explain why I 100% disagree but it’d be futile
I think you're pretty much right on most of the teachers however I think Snape should have a little higher number. He was probably the bravest men in Hogwarts because he knew he was going to have to kill Dumbledore and he didn't back down.
+1
My top 5 was close to yours. I had Dumbledore as one. I think that is "pretty obvious" than McGonagall, flitwick, lupin, and slughorn. It was a really close call for the 2 and 3 spot. flitwick really is a great teacher. Even the twins say he always gets his students through their OWLs. Neville got the same grade as Ron and Harry if I remember right. Everyone did well in his class. McGonagall got it in the end though. She seemed a lot more strict but also very fair. She was also teaching a class that I feel was more difficult.
My best professors in the Harry Potter series: Luvin, Dumbledore, Mcgonagell, Hagrid, Snape, Godric Gryfandor, Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin.
And my most hated professor:
Umbridge for cruel detention sessions in Order of the Phoenix.
7:52 man, my favorite RUclipsr roasted my second favorite RUclips channel💀
Even though the Carrows are objectively the worst, I'd still put Umbridge as the worst for one big reason. She is so relatable. Many people have always had that one teacher at school who they just absolutely hated for being really nasty. Teachers like the Carrows however would just never be allowed to happen, at least in places with more reasonable human rights records.
Yes! Scary because it's true! When I was teaching, I worked under a principal that we secretly called "Umbridge". She wasn't cruel per se, but she physically resembled Umbridge and made our lives miserable with her incompetence. (She ended up being demoted 😁)
My head of year in year 8 who teaches maths is somebody who nobody likes
McGonagall will always be my personal number one professor.
She is stern, yes, but at the end of the day, she cares for the students, helps them see the best in themselves and best of all for me, she put Umbridge in her place more than once, which says a lot about who she is as both a person and as a teacher.
The Order of the Phoenix book is THE book for McGonagall moments.
3:03 Don't forget she ALMOST used the Cruciatus curse on Harry
He already said that
Bro really said everything in my heart about snape, finally someone said it
Maybe Voldemort lived vicariously through Quirrell in more ways than one. His main goal of possessing someone in Hogwarts was to get the Sorcerer's Stone, but by using Quirrell, he got to be closer to the Defense Against the Dark Arts than ever.
