Magical Theory was a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry studied by students in an unknown capacity.[1]

Class information

Magical Theory was a class available to Hogwarts students, and taught by an unknown teacher. Given its common name with the textbook, it likely covered lessons on the Fundamental Laws of Magic, how spells work, and spell creation.

Behind the scenes

  • This class is only seen on Harry Potter's timetable in the film version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
  • It is unknown what students this class was available to, but it is possible that this class was an optional subject for students in certain school years.
  • Although the class was presumably about the study of magic from a purely theoretical standpoint, the actual curriculum of this class is unknown. If the textbook by the same name is any indication (which is possibly used in this class), however, it might cover the Fundamental Laws of Magic and the topic of how spells work.
