Harry Potter Question
Does anyone else find the amount of teachers at Hogwarts slightly unrealistic?
(Going by the fact that JKR has stated that there are roughly around 1000 students at Hogwarts).
This didn't actually occur to me until a few months ago when I started a much larger school than I had previously attended.
My new school has about 950 - 1000 students and throughout the school, eighteen subjects are taught.
For each subject, we have around five - ten teachers.
Now let's look at Hogwarts.
Astronomy
Charms
Defense Against the Dark Arts
Flying (first years only)
Herbology
History of Magic
Potions
Transfiguration
Study of Ancient Runes
Arithmancy
Muggle Studies
Care of Magical Creatures
Divination
Apparition (Sixth year, those of age only)
Alchemy (Sixth and seventh years, only if sufficient demand)
Ancient Studies
Art
Earth Magic
Muggle Art
Music
Muggle Music
Ghoul Studies
Magical Theory
Xylomancy
Frog Choir
Hogwarts orchestra
(I got this list from Harry Potter Wiki).
Twenty six subjects.
Yet, for the subjects that were mentioned, we only saw one teacher per subject.
Considering some of the above listed are required for 1st to 5th years, I really don't see how the teachers manage to teach so many students.
Anyone know a logical explanation for this?
