The Top 10 Most Powerful Hogwarts Professors
We polled our expert team of power rankers, and here is their annotated list of the most powerful Hogwarts professors that ever roamed the school’s halls.
Albus Dumbledore (Transfiguration, later Headmaster) At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the name Albus Dumbledore is synonymous with power, wisdom, and magic. As a highly respected professor of Transfiguration and later the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore's influence and authority were felt throughout the wizarding world.
Minerva McGonagall (Transfiguration, later Headmistress) McGonagall's magical abilities are among the most impressive of any Hogwarts professor. Her talent for Transfiguration is legendary, with her ability to turn animals into inanimate objects being a particular specialty.
Severus Snape (Potions, later Defense Against the Dark Arts) Snape is, without a doubt, one of the most fascinating wizards to have ever graced the hallowed halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Filius Flitwick (Charms) Flitwick’s expertise in charms makes him a formidable adversary in any magical duel. Furthermore, his experience and knowledge of the subject allows him to wield his powers in innovative and unexpected ways.
Remus Lupin (Defense Against the Dark Arts) In many ways, Lupin is the quintessential “jack of all trades, master of none.” He was a skilled dueler, able to hold his own in a fight, and possessed a deep knowledge of both defensive and offensive magic. But he did not excel in any one particular area, like McGonagall or Snape.
Horace Slughorn (Potions)
Pomona Sprout (Herbology)
Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (Defense Against the Dark Arts)
