Easy choice for me. Lupin was by far the best, and Umbridge the worst.
Jeff Heavlin about 1 year agoLupin was the best teacher, but the fake Moody and Snape were very good at it. But we don't like them, do we? The worst teacher was, of course that Umbridge witch...
Anonymous User about 1 year agoI have to agree, Lupin (RIP) best, Umbridge worst (the stupid cow.)
Rachel Smigielski about 1 year agoyeah, umbridge was evil... but arnt we all forgetting how stupid and annoying Lockhart was? i suppose he wasnt bad, but he was so stupid it was funny
Alta Kreischer about 1 year agoLupin was for sure the best. Umbridge was evil and Lockhart was a joke.
Facebook User about 1 year agoClearly Lupin was the best actual teacher and everyone's favorite. "Moody" awed and intimidated his students while Snape was so unpleasant and judgmental that his considerable knowledge was squandered in petty nitpicking.
As for the worst... well, Umbridge was an awful woman to be sure but she inspired the students to learn far more than they would have ordinarily by starting the D.A.
Facebook User about 1 year agoI agree, Lockheart made my teeth hurt, and Lupin was excellent in both scope and delivery. We don't like Snape, (agreed) but he is very passionate about the subject. If you were in that class (and Not Harry Potter) you would learn a ton.
Lisa Dennis about 1 year agoFor me, the best teacher has to be Lupin, he was really good at it, even thought he was absent a lot. Umbridge was the worst for me too.
Facebook User about 1 year agoYes!!! Very good point! Lockhart was incompetent, Umbridge at least taught them theory even without practical knowledge it is still useful knowledge. What Lockhart "taught" was completely useless for anybody.
As for my reply, while Lupin was definitely a great teacher, for all that warm and fuzzy teacher/student relationship stuff--I have to agree with a post above, Fake Moody and Snape knew their dark arts since both are in love with the dark arts.
What better way to teach magical defence is when the teacher KNOWS what the enemy is doing, rather than an expert in defence on its own.
Personally all three would make a good teaching team since there are so many perspectives.
Since the books just mentioned these lot of teachers, I wonder if there are other teachers that teach the same subject for different grade levels. I suppose not--otherwise Hermione would had been placed in Honours while Harry and Ron would been in Remedial Potions from the start!
Jonathan Weinraub about 1 year agoLupin was the best!!
Facebook User about 1 year agoYes, that does seem odd now you point it out. Hermione would definitely have been in advanced classes. In MY school (Algebra, eg) was open to anyone who qualified, regardless of their age but there was just the one (Algebra) teacher. I don't know how it works in private schools or boarding schools.
Harry & Ron, without Hermione's help would have had to repeat some classes.
Facebook User about 1 year agoShe says (Sorcerer's Stone) that they have to pass their subjects to move on to the next year, what if they get a"T"? Maybe there ARE remedial lessons as suggested by Snape in OoP.
Lupin hands down! He is certainly the most influential and likable, plus he's got an angle that makes him complex and not just the "good guy" teacher. As for worst: Umbridge.
Varina Kosovich about 1 year agoThats a easy Decision... Lupin Obviously. He was one of my favorite characters overall let alone favorite DADA teacher. Plus he was the only one that wasn't Crazy (in some sense of the word) or incompetent.
Facebook User about 1 year agoLupin was the best. Snape was kind of funny especially when he got the class to turn to a page right at the back of the book trying to expose lupin. Lockhart was a wonderful coward and umbridge was what i would call my worst nightmare. Writing in your own blood. Scary.
Facebook User about 1 year agoLupin was by far the best, followed closely by Moody and Snape.
Facebook User about 1 year agoOf course Lupin was da best!!!!!!!
Anonymous User about 1 year agoBy far...Lupin.
Ivonne Garcia about 1 year agoLUPIN!!!!!
Facebook User about 1 year agoActually, Harry was the best, but since he wasn't technically a teacher I'd say:
Facebook User about 1 year ago1. Lupin
2. Mad-Eye
3.Snape (even though everyone hated him, he knew his s**t)
4. Quirrell
5. Umbridge
6. Lockhart
