i'd cancel Divination. You can't really excel at that unless your a Seer, and they are rare. I wouldn't cancel History of Magic, because the class would be so interesting if it wasn't taught by a ghost.

I agree with most that if I could cancel a subject it would be divination... But personally I think all subjects are there for a reason....

I would cancel Arithmancy or Astrology... Yeah, Astrology... there is no sense in that, it never helped anything in the books (I mean, divination is prooved to be worked in the books, look at the prophecies).

I would totally make History of Magic an elective... Who wants to listen to all that? Okay, maybe I would, but not for a long time. Maybe if they got a different teacher...

I think I'd like History of Magic, it'd interest me. Maybe I'd cancel Herbology, biology isn't really my strong point.

Well to us it seems like a useless class but then again wizards probably don't have enough mathematics to predict star movements

Probably Divination, although it sounds exciting. Most likely Muggle Studies too. I mean, who would want to learn about us? Razz

Auther Weasley, lol. And I think its important that they understand how we work... They'd be useless otherwise because they wouldn't be able to have anything to do with them. Like when they need to take the train in #5 and Auther cant get through the ticket machine thing. Or use our money to buy simple things

Yeah, Divination definitely. Even if I did have the inner eye I wouldn't risk it.

Divination.
You can't learn to be a Seer. You can only be born with the ability.

divination is my choice,but maybe some of those who didn't take divination were visionary,they just didn't know that,we could at least try.we could always quit if we found out that we 're not visionary.every subject at hogwarts has it's purpose!

I think I posted in here before, but whatever. I would cancel Care of Magical Creatures. It's not really a pointless subject as it a subject that doesn't really matter when it school.

i wouldn't cancel anything. i think each subject is useful in its own way.

I would take for the electives: Ancient Runes, Care Of Magical Creatures

divinitation isn't a useless subject; even HERMIONE doesn't think it is, ever since she discovered there were such things as prophecies...

I would cancel History of Magic because:

1. Professor Binns is completely awful
2. We can learn history from the textbooks
and

Also, I wouldn't mind having Arithmacy canceled because I don't like math at all! lol

I would say Astronomy because I can't ever remember it being useful to anyone really, actually wasn't it useful to seers? Or am I mistaken? lol I have horrible memory but I really don't think that class would be as important as all the others.
