- Remus Lupin. Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Remus Lupin quickly established himself as Hogwarts' best and most popular Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in recent memory, being a hands-on teacher like the fake Moody.
- Minerva McGonagall. Transfiguration. Professor Minerva McGonagall is the Head of the courageous Gryffindor House, and she teaches Transfiguration with decades of experience backing her up.
- Severus Snape. Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts. On a personal level, Professor Severus Snape absolutely failed Harry as a teacher, due to his constant verbal abuse, unfair practices, and his clear favoritism for Draco Malfoy and the Slytherins.
- Horace Slughorn. Potions. Harry was in for a shock when Professor Horace Slughorn was hired to teach not Defense Against the Dark Arts, but Potions, a subject he once taught in his younger years.
- Sorcerer’s Stone: Rubeus Hagrid. While Hagrid doesn’t actually become a Professor until the third book and movie, the Prisoner of Azkaban, he gets the nod for the Sorcerer’s Stone because of the way he treats Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger during their first year at Hogwarts together.
- Chamber of Secrets: Pomona Sprout. Hogwarts gets thrown into a state of chaos when, in the second book and movie entitled the Chamber of Secrets, students are attacked with alarming frequency.
- Prisoner of Azkaban: Remus Lupin. The Defence Against the Dark Arts is a subject where, for his first two years, Harry Potter struggles. In his first year, Professor Quirrell is revealed to be working on behalf of Lord Voldemort, spending the whole term trying to restore his master to full power.
- Goblet of Fire: Barty Crouch Jr. Harry has another difficult year at Hogwarts in the Goblet of Fire, having his name entered as a participant for the Triwizard Tournament and then nearly dying at the end of it all.
- Professor Flitwick (Charms) Professor Flitwick was the Charms Professor during Harry’s time (and long before that). He was a half-goblin professor and the Head of Ravenclaw.

- Firenze (Divination) Firenze the centaur took over Divination classes after Umbridge fired Trelawney. He’s the one who saved Harry Potter from Quirinus Quirrell back in the forest.
- Professor Slughorn (Potions) Professor Horace Slughorn, was, according to some, a coward and a manipulative wizard who used his students for connections.
- Gilderoy Lockhart. It's astonishing that Gilderoy Lockhart managed to actually get a job at Hogwarts. While he was able to charm anybody with his looks and personality, there's no doubt that he couldn't teach at all.
- Quirinus Quirrell. Another teacher who took on the difficult role of being the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher was Quirinus Quirrell, and he is another who simply wasn't cut out for that line of work.
- Barty Crouch Jr. Here's when Hogwarts really should have been shut down. They unwittingly let an active Death Eater near their students and even let him teach the most important lesson for Hogwarts at the time.
- Dolores Umbridge. Dolores Umbridge might be one of the least popular teachers to have ever appeared at Hogwarts and how much she truly taught to the students is questionable.
