Top Ten Tuesday #41

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Bookish People I’d Like to Meet

Today’s prompt nearly stumped me enough to skip this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. However, since I haven’t joined in the fun since January, I decided to work through it. The original prompt is “Bookish People I’d Like to Meet.” I decided to put a spin on it and go with “Hogwarts Teachers I’d Like to Take Classes From.” Here are my top ten:

Albus Dumbledore

Any Subject

Minerva McGonagall

Transfiguration

Filius Flitwick

Charms

Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank

Care of Magical Creatures

Rolanda Hooch

Flying

Horace Slughorn

Potions

Bathsheda Babbling

Ancient Runes

Aurora Sinistra

Astronomy

Septima Vector

Arithmancy

Remus Lupin

Defense Against the Dark Arts

I don’t really have an interest in Herbology or I would’ve had Professor Sprout on my list. If I had to take Divination, I’d take it from Firenze not Professor Trelawney so I’d actually learn something. Because I’ve been sorted into Slytherin, I may take potions from Snape but I’m a little iffy on that since he’s so moody. And, even though I love Hagrid and could learn a lot, I think Professor Grubbly-Plank would be safer, LOL.

What about you? Which bookish characters would you like to meet?

I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

      Ha! Yeah, the mandrakes are pretty scary. I think if I were more into yard work and gardening, I’d love Herbology. As it stands, though, I’m not really into plants. 😀

    I would definitely love to take Transfiguration, though I do think McGonagall would probably scare me a little in person. Charms too would be a fun class and of course flying. Lupin seems like a great teacher so I’d definitely take DADA from him, and I actually think I’d quite enjoy the potential carnage of one of Hagrid’s Care of Magical Creatures’ classes. I don’t think I’d particularly want to do Runes, Arithmancy or Astronomy. Such a fun take on this week’s topic!

      Ha ha! McGonagall would be scary. But, I think she’d be a great teacher. And, I love Lupin so much that I’d brave DADA. I’d love to lear about some of the creatures Hagrid would teach–hippogriffs and thestrals–but I’d probably be like Neville and get eaten by the textbook. LOL.

    I skipped TTT this week because I was stumped. I might do it next week. I love how you twisted the topic this week. It’s perfect!

      I understand. I could have done a list of authors I’d love to meet or spend quality time together with, but my list would only be of 5 or so authors. 😀 I love forward to seeing your list next week!

    Fun way to twist the topic – and I read HP SO long ago, I don’t remember most of the teachers, but actually I think it would be fun to have a class with any of them. Thanks for stopping by.
