Headmaster Dumbledore

As Headmaster, Dumbledore has done much to improve teaching at Hogwarts. Firstly, he carefully selects teachers, not allowing cruel people to teach. Secondly, from the beginning of his headmastership, he completely abolishes corporal punishment. Thirdly, always staying informed about events at the School, Dumbledore tries to nip problems in the bud, promptly reacting to any hint of danger for students or teachers. Alas, he does not always succeed. He is a powerful wizard, rightfully considered the genius of the century, but somewhat eccentric: he loves jokes that only he understands and adores speaking in riddles. He loves raspberry jam and is fond of knitting - he gives his creations to professors. You can never tell exactly what's on his mind, but his kindness and responsiveness make up for his secrets, of which he has plenty.

Minerva McGonagall

The professor has a strict disposition, stingy with praise. However, she is very fair. She rarely shows emotions, but she is the kindest woman. Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Head of Gryffindor, Transfiguration teacher, and later Headmaster of Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall is not only an experienced teacher and expert in Transfiguration (she has been working there since about 1956), but also a powerful witch. For example, she is a registered Animagus, meaning she can take the form of an animal, namely a tabby cat with markings around her eyes.

Severus Snape

Potions professor and head of Slytherin. He is very gifted in the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts and secretly, at the age of 18, developed several spells and improved some potions. Wears all black, waves his cloak pompously. His speech is distinguished by sarcasm, irony and coldness. He is often rude, caustic and cruel in words, just like a snake, but his colleagues have known him for a long time and are accustomed to his manner of speech. In his own way, he still cares about his students and colleagues. Very strong in his affections and antipathies. Hates and loves with all his heart. Behind an impenetrable face, he hides strong feelings and skeletons in the closet. They, along with Minerva, are two teachers who are tired of the antics of the children and sometimes complain to each other about life over a glass of firewhiskey. A former Death Eater and secret agent of Dumbledore's is among them, something no one but the two of them knows about.

Sybil Trelawney

Sybil is the Divination teacher at Hogwarts. Aware of her low status among the schools' teachers, who are almost all far more talented than she is, Sybil spends much of her time secluded from her colleagues in a stuffy, cluttered, motley office in the tower. Unsurprisingly, she has an excessive dependence on alcohol. Sibyl is gifted with the tricks of a fortune teller and, in general, is a very nice woman. Her signature moves include predicting someone's death and saying, "First, you have to turn off your brain and let your intuition fly!"

Filius Flintwick

Filius Flitwick was born on October 17th to a family of wizards of goblin descent. At Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw. The Sorting Hat, after five minutes of hesitation between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, placed him in the latter. This incident later became the subject of polite jokes between Filius and his colleague Minerva McGonagall, about whom the Hat had similar difficulties, but chose Gryffindor. The heads of the two houses were amazed that, if not for the turning points in their childhoods, they could have swapped places. Professor Flitwick has goblins among his ancestors and is therefore quite short. However, his small stature is more than compensated for by his high magical knowledge and abilities. In addition, Flitwick is very kind in his dealings: he is even able to express his complaints and criticism in such a way that formally there will be nothing to be offended by. Belonging to the Ravenclaw faculty does not imply the presence of encyclopedic knowledge (although this is not superfluous), but a special mindset, unconventional thinking, the ability to find non-obvious analogies... And, apparently, the ability to avoid unpleasant situations in life too. Flitwick corresponds to all these qualities as well as possible. In addition, he is very friendly towards students, and they reciprocate. Filius Flitwick has never been known for his courage, the storms of this world rarely touch him, so he does not belong to any organizations. However, if his friends are in danger, he will not hesitate for a second.

Hagrid

Gamekeeper, Keeper of the Keys, and Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts. Rubeus Hagrid may have been physically intimidating—he was, of course, half-human, half-giant—but he was also soft-hearted, especially when it came to caring for the Hogwarts beasts. From monstrous spiders to feathered hippogriffs, majestic unicorns, and explosive skrewts, there was nothing too creepy or creepy that didn’t find a place in Hagrid’s heart. Very simple-minded and trusting. Speech is rough and simple.

Pomona Stem

Pomona Sprout is the Herbology professor and head of Hufflepuff house. She is a short, plump witch with tousled grey hair who wears a tattered, patched hat and threadbare robes. Her clothes are often soiled, as Professor Sprout spends a lot of time in the Hogwarts greenhouses, growing plants. During her school years, Pomona met Minerva McGonagall, a friendship that lasted her entire life. Thanks to the students, the young witches forced each other to study the disciplines that many years later they themselves began to teach. Professor Sprout is a smiling and cheerful woman who truly loves her subject and is kind to her students. However, despite her apparent softness, Pomona can, if necessary, scold negligent students. There is always a friendly atmosphere in her classes, and she enjoys well-deserved respect among her colleagues and colleagues.

Quirinus Quirrel

Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, but Quirrell's classes were more like a comedy show than anything serious. His office smelled of garlic, which, as everyone assured, Quirrell hoped to scare off the vampire he met in Romania. The professor was very afraid that he was about to come to Hogwarts to deal with him. The turban on Quirrell's head did not add any seriousness to his classes either. The professor assured that this turban was a gift from an African prince, whom he helped get rid of a very dangerous zombie. But no one really believed this story. Quirrell was a gifted but pampered boy, likely teased at school for his shyness and nervousness. Struggling with an inferiority complex, he tried to prove himself. He developed an interest (initially theoretical) in the Dark Arts. Like many people who felt worthless and were bullied, Quirrell secretly desired to make the World submit to him. Although he was generally a timid and shy, albeit gifted wizard.

First meeting

Minerva and Severus will meet the new professor at King's Cross Station in London and travel with him on the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts.
