As for other classes, History of Magic is incredulously boring, with Mr. Cuthbert Binns, the ghost teacher, being so uninteresting even the ones who thrive in academia, like Maud and Hermione, have trouble remaining awake in his class.
At least the teacher of Ancient Studies, Ms. Faneeza Mohamed, tries to make her lectures interesting. Indeed, her lectures were that much more tolerable.
Defence Against The Dark Arts is a bit of a joke, as Mr. Quirinus Quirrell, who often wears a purple turban, and indeed a lot of purple clothes often stuttered and definitely seemed out of his element. Draco and his goth gang absolutely despised him, referring to him as a "prep".
Ms. Rolanda Hooch, the flying teacher, spent the entirety of the first week going over health and safety regulations, which was quite boring. Everyone just wanted to go into the air already.
Ms. Pomona Sprout, who teaches Herbology, is very interesting, and people actually wondered how she managed to make plants seem so interesting.
Charms class is taught by little old Mr. Filius Flitwick, who is so small he has to stand on top of a pile of books to be seen.
Ms. McGonagall is quite like Mr. Snape in teaching Transfiguration, only she isn't abusive to her non-Slytherin students and therefore Enid, as well as most others, actually like her.
The Astronomy Teacher, Ms. Aurora Sinistra, is fittingly spacy, and thoroughly modern. Homework for her class often involves taking pictures of certain stars and identifying them (this was done by magic, as electricity doesn't really work around Hogwarts. Everyone does typically electric things using magic at Hogwarts to compensate for this).
The Arithmancy teacher, Ms. Elaine Leduff, makes her lessons as fun as she can, even if arithmancy is really just a magical name for math.
English predictably involves lots of reading and writing, and the teacher, Ms. Jennifer McAfee, is quite like McGonagall in how she teaches her lessons.
Magical Theory is essentially memorizing how spells work, which is a big help in other classes involving them. It also helps that the teacher, Ms. Antonia Johnson, is very helpful and always willing to answer questions.
Alchemy is by far the most fun class of all, even if the teacher, and indeed the last of three Deputy Headmistresses, Ms. Hecate Hardbroom, is strict about health and safety. This is understandable, though, as alchemy is quite a dangerous science and Ms. Hardbroom would rather her students live through their laboratory work.
Ms. Eleni Maureas, who teaches music, is a very patient woman, which is good as the first years had likely never touched a musical instrument before. When it was time to choose which instrument they wanted to play, Harry ended up choosing to play Flute, with Ron going for Tuba, Hermione choosing the Trombone, Mildred choosing the Saxophone, Maud going for the Trumpet, and Enid choosing to play the Clarinet. Draco, Vincent, Gregory, and Ebony all chose the Horn. Ethel and Drusilla chose the Saxophone. Everyone often has to cast tuning spells on their instruments to change the key they were in, as many different keys are used to play their music. They also learned how to transfigure their instruments into different forms as necessitated by their music.
Ms. Marigold Mould, who taught art, is certainly encouraging, and the students were quickly able to let their heart and creative minds go off to many wonderful places to draw and paint. Her class is also the easiest, as the assignments are simply to turn in one work per week with the techniques covered in class that week. This is easily Mildred's best subject.
Finally, Mr. Hagrid, who is the groundskeeper, also teaches Care of Magical Creatures. This is also a very fun class, as the animals studied range from absolutely adorable to divinely dangerous.
