The esteemed Seer Cassandra Vablatsky
- "True Seers are very rare, and Professor Trelawney..."
- — Minerva McGonagall being dubious on Sybill Trelawney's ingenuity as a Seer[src]
A Seer was a gifted wizard or witch who had the ability to see into the future with their Inner Eye.[1]
Description
Seers predicted prophecies, which were then recorded and stored in the Hall of Prophecy in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries.[2][3]
According to Minerva McGonagall, true Seers were extremely rare, and she had doubt that Sybill Trelawney could be considered as one despite her sporadically accurate predictions.[1][4]
Albus Dumbledore once told Harry Potter that seeing into the future was incredibly difficult because of the complexity of every single action and their consequences.[5]
Centaurs were Seers with their own brand of Divination, which differed from that of humans.[6]
Hermione Granger expressed scepticism of Divination as a branch of magic, regarding it as imprecise at best and entirely fabricated at worst. Her lack of respect for Divination notably placed her squarely at odds with Sybill Trelawney.[7]
