I put charms too! I'd love to be able to charm ordinary things to see what they do!

What about Flying/quidditch practise? Thats a lesson isn't it? Like PE?

I dont' know if flying is a lesson, Harry etc had one once, but then it was never mentioned again... And so I just thought, no, since they have mentioned stuff in the books about Bill and Percy getting 12 OWLS, so I just figured that there must only be 12 subjects... and Flying would have been no 13, so I left it out...

Also levitation is learnt in charms! :)

To Sonken, I didnt' know that we could pm Paul to add a poll to a thread, or I would have just done that instead! :( My bad! \

I think that Herbology and potions sound very interesting, because there really is nothing requiring magic to do with them, just turning stuff around you into magic... or using the plants for magical purposes! :D

so technically muggles could make things around them magical too? or does it require magic to make certain potions?

I was wondering if there was maybe a way to make it so that you could vote more than once... like your top 3 classes or something...

But I was too slack to pm Paul and ask! :grin:

Arithmancy sounds like it would be the most fun. It seems like it's the most mathematically based subject and Yay for Math. Historically, it was a means of divination through the use of numbers and that just seems like a cool thing to know how to do.

Sorry, it's currently only possible for one vote per person.

Mist, it should be more than adding one and one; I have a book to, and it seems very simple, but surely at Hogwarts tehy teach high level classes of Arithmancy that we don't know.

Blast, Arithmancy sounds not so fun anymore. I just loked at some web site and it's just about adding the number of letters in your name and stuff. But the way that it's described in the book makes it look a lot harder. Alas, will still change favourite class from Arithmancy to Transfiguration. Just think of the endless possibilities that you'd be presented with from changing a mouse into a cup...;)
