Note on names

In canon, the forenames of Professors Binns, Sinistra and Vector have not been revealed, the characters simply referred to, according to the school custom, as Professor [Surname]. However the characters are named on a sheet of scribbles revealed by Rowling on her website. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


The canonical worth of the sheet is debatable. It contains other names which are wrong, or are of characters who have never appeared in canon, and references to clearly discarded concepts; this means that the information is sometimes discarded as 'non-canon'. Others accept the non-contradictory information due to it being unquestionably from Rowling (as opposed to other names, such as 'Rolanda Hooch' or 'Quirinus Quirrell'), and without contradictory information. In this article, the names derived from the sheet are included, but should not be accepted as unquestionable.

Charity Burbage is identified as the Muggle Studies teacher in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Because she teaches a favorable study of Muggles, evidenced by an editorial article in the Daily Prophet, she is in direct opposition to the Death Eater philosophy of the supremacy of pure-bloods, and therefore raises their ire. She is a prisoner of Lord Voldemort, and he tortures her and kills her in front of the Death Eaters, and she is fed to Nagini. She is replaced, at Voldemort's will, by Death Eater Alecto Carrow who begins to brainwash students to despise muggles. Charity herself replaced Professor Quirrell, who after a year off studying to get experience came back to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts in Harry's first school year.

Cuthbert Binns

Cuthbert Binns
Gender Male
Status Deceased (Ghost)
Species Human (Ghost)
First appearance Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Cuthbert Binns teaches History of Magic and has the distinction of being the only teacher at Hogwarts who is a ghost. It is said that he was so old when he took a nap in a chair in the teachers lounge/staff room that he died in his sleep and simply got up to go teach his next class... as a ghost, but his teaching didn't change one bit; one could speculate that he doesn't know he's dead yet, were it not for the fact that in Harry's first class with him, Binns "floated through the blackboard". This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ... Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (film) or Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (video game) Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (published in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone) is the first novel in the Harry Potter series written by J...

In the fictional universe of JK Rowlings Harry Potter novels, ghosts play an important secondary role, mainly as supporting characters. ...


His classes are infamous for being dreadfully boring. Binns does not engage with his students at all; rather, he drones interminable rote lectures about "The International Warlock Convention of 1289", or "a subcommittee of Sardinian sorcerers" in a monotonous voice described as sounding "like an old vacuum cleaner", while the class takes occasional notes in a state of torpor. So tied is he to his dull routine that he barely seems to notice he has students. On the one occasion when his class does attempt to quiz him on a historical subject, he cannot remember any of their names, and seems surprised that there is any class in front of him. Torpor is a state of regulated hypothermia in an endotherm lasting for periods ranging from just a few hours to several months. ...


Some of the botched names he called his students:

  • "O'Flaherty" (Seamus Finnigan)
  • "Miss Grant" (Hermione Granger)
  • "Miss Pennyfeather" (Parvati Patil)
  • "Perkins" (Harry Potter)

His forename is derived from the sheet of scribbles, and has never been used by the author in any up-to-date source. However, it unquestionably derives from Rowling.


Binns has not appeared in the films. His explanation in the second book of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets is instead given by Professor McGonagall in the film. In the related video game, the explanation is given by Flitwick.

She is a reasonably competent teacher, passing even Dolores Umbridge's inspection without incident. She seems always level-headed, cheerful and efficient, and fends off Umbridge's questions without losing her temper or incriminating anybody. She claims to be very happy with the way Dumbledore runs the school. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry trusts her enough to ask her to heal his owl, Hedwig, when she is injured. Nevertheless, he is always somewhat annoyed by the fact that she is a much better teacher than Hagrid, to whom Harry remains loyal no matter how undisciplined or incompetent his classes may be.

Rolanda Hooch taught broomstick flying to Hogwarts first years and was the referee of intramural Quidditch matches. She was described as having short grey hair and "yellow and hawk-like" eyes. Madam Hooch learned to fly on one of the old (and discontinued) Silver Arrows, which were considered the true forerunner of the racing broom.

Like Professor Quirrell, Madam Hooch did not have an official first name. The Internet Movie Database listed her first name as "Xiomara" prior to the release of the first film, while her Chocolate Frog collector card (produced by Cap Candy) listed it as "Rolanda." [1] The latter was generally accepted by fans as her first name, though neither was officially canon. "Hooch" is a slang term for illegally-produced strong liquor, though it is undetermined whether Rowling took this into account when naming the character.

Madam Hooch was played by Zoë Wanamaker in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone; she retained her role as flying teacher and Quidditch referee, and was last seen declaring Gryffindor's victory after Harry nearly swallowed the Golden Snitch in his very first match, but she was written out of the sequels. A reference to Wanamaker's appearance in the movie was made in the British sitcom My Family, in which she plays Susan Harper: her eldest son Nick opened a cereal packet, withdrew a card and declared, "Hey, look, Madam Hooch!" Hooch has not to date appeared in any subsequent films,despite being frequently mentioned in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, as Wanamaker declined to reprise the role because she was unhappy with her payment for the first film.

Galatea Merrythought was a former Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, mentioned in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She retired during Professor Slughorn's previous term as Potions Master, in Tom Riddle's last year as a student. Riddle's ambitions to succeed her in this position were thwarted first by Armando Dippet, and later by Dumbledore.

Professor Sinistra's first appearance is in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, helping to move a petrified Justin Finch-Fletchley to the hospital wing, though, because she was merely mentioned as "Professor Sinistra" her identity or even gender was not yet known. She appears again during the Yule Ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, dancing a nervous two-step with (a presumed) Professor Moody, who is male. From that can be deduced that Professor Sinistra is a witch rather than a wizard. Sinistra is also mentioned talking to Professor Grubbly-Plank in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She does not appear in either of the final two books, and as these are her only appearances and mentions in the entire series, Sinistra has never had any dialogue parts.

Professor Sinistra's name may originate from the Latin sinister, meaning left or with a direction to the left, this could possibly be a reference to the fact that the planets of the solar system rotate counterclockwise (left). However it might also derive from the star Nu Ophiuchi, which is also called "Sinistra." The contemporary meaning of the word sinister is "having bad intent", but considering Professor Sinistra's lack of involvement in the plot, this is a less likely theory. Latin is an ancient Indo-European language originally spoken in Latium, the region immediately surrounding Rome. ...
