You’ve heard of Potions, Transfiguration, and Charms. However, I have no doubt that some well-meaning Hogwarts professor tried to suggest a few new courses to Dumbledore and received a stern “No. For God’s sake, Stuart, there’s a three-headed dog on the third floor and a mountain troll in the girls’ bathroom.
