What Your Hogwarts Professor Says About You

The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are a unique and complex bunch! They've each got their own specific teaching styles and personality traits, so the one who's most similar to you reveals a lot about what makes you so special! In this quiz, we tell you which Hogwarts professor you'd be—here are the possible results, and what they might mean about you:


Professor Dumbledore
Like Professor Albus Dumbledore, you're a deeply intelligent person with a special touch of whimsy and charm. You're understanding and empathetic, but you're definitely not timid—with your bold and courageous spirit, you never hesitate to stand up for what's right. As a teacher, you'd be the wise, caring mentor, always looking out for your students and sharing the important knowledge you've gained over the years. Students wouldn't just respect you—they'd look up to you and dream of being like you someday!

Professor McGonagall
You're a rational, no-nonsense person with a strong set of morals, just like Professor Minerva McGonagall! With your deeply principled personality, you're the kind of person who respects the rules, but you aren't afraid to stand up to authority when needed. As a Hogwarts professor, you'd have a pretty strict and demanding teaching style, but only because you believe in your students and want them to reach their full potential. Through all the homework and tough love, they'd see how much you care, and they'd have the utmost respect for you!

Professor Lupin
You're a caring, kind, and intelligent person, just like Professor Remus Lupin! With your empathetic personality, you can connect with just about anyone, and you'd have a super encouraging teaching style. This doesn't mean you'd be a pushover, though—you're also incredibly smart and talented, and you'd want your students to become just as powerful and capable as you. You'd push them to reach their fullest potential, but you'd do this with endless support and understanding, rather than strictness or anger. The entire Hogwarts student body would love you for it!

Professor Snape
You're a deep, complex, and slightly mysterious person, just like Professor Severus Snape! Sometimes, you might come off as a little cold to others, but there's so much more going on underneath the surface. Beneath your closed-off exterior, you're incredibly intelligent and brave, and you'll always do what's right when it matters most. As a teacher, you'd be pretty tough and demanding, but you expect excellence because you know it's possible. You believe in pushing people to reach their fullest potential, and even though your students might resent you for it at times, they'd also have a ton of respect for you!

Professor Trelawney
You're a mystical, creative person who believes there's a whole lot more to life than facts and logic. With your totally magical and intuitive energy, it's clear that you'd be Professor Sybil Trelawney, Professor of Divination! You have a special talent for thinking outside the box, and you'd encourage your students to open their minds to new ideas, too. Some of them might be hesitant to take a leap into the great unknown, but that's okay—the path of a Seer isn't for everyone! Those who have the special gift would totally love you and hang on your every word.

Professor Sprout
Like Professor Pomona Sprout, you're a deeply caring and down-to-earth person who loves the great outdoors. As a Herbology Professor, you have a strong connection to nature, and as Head of Hufflepuff House, you embody the classic Hufflepuff traits of hard work, loyalty, and kindness. Your teaching style would be understanding and fair, and you'd always have your students' best interests at heart. You'd spend your free days enjoying the castle's beautiful grounds or curling up with a mug of hot tea and a pastry in your office, and your life at Hogwarts would be incredibly peaceful and fulfilling!

Professor Flitwick
You're an intelligent, friendly, and cheerful person, just like Professor Filius Flitwick! As Professor of Charms, you're quick-thinking and capable, and as Head of Ravenclaw House, you embody the classic Ravenclaw traits of wit, wisdom, and creativity. Your teaching style would be incredibly encouraging and fair, and students would look forward to your entertaining and engaging lessons. You'd also have a ton of school spirit, so you'd take it upon yourself to oversee the fall and winter decorations at Hogwarts to make the seasons feel extra magical!

Professor Hagrid
You're a fun-loving, friendly, and courageous person with a heart of gold, just like Hagrid! Originally the groundskeeper at Hogwarts, Hagrid also taught Care of Magical Creatures for a time, which goes along perfectly with your adventurous and animal-loving personality. Your teaching style would be laid-back and relaxed, but this doesn't mean your class would be too simple or easy. You'd craft super entertaining and valuable lessons (like how to approach and ride a Hippogriff, for example), and your students would totally love you for it—even if they'd be a little scared at first!
