	Movies - Minor Hogwarts teachers

The following are minor teachers at Hogwarts in the popular Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling.

The more important teachers, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Filius Flitwick, Horace Slughorn, Professor Quirrell, Gilderoy Lockhart, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody (Barty Crouch Jr.), Dolores Umbridge, Rubeus Hagrid, Pomona Sprout, Sybill Trelawney, and Firenze have their own pages, as do caretaker Argus Filch, librarian Irma Pince, and nurse Poppy Pomfrey.

Professor Binns

Professor Binns teaches History of Magic and has the distinction of being the only teacher at Hogwarts who is a ghost. It is said that he died while taking a nap in the staff room but continued teaching as though nothing had happened; one may speculate that he doesn't know he's dead yet. His classes are infamous for being dreadfully boring; the most exciting event being his entrance (through the blackboard). A site of some old scribbles, which JK Rowling put on her website in March 2006 reveals his first name to be Cuthbert. This is not really canon however, since some other informations from the scribbles have changed in the books as well.

Binns hasn't appeared in the films. His explanation in the second book of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets is instead given by Professor McGonagall in the film.

Professor Everard

Professor Everard was a former headmaster of Hogwarts and a prominent member of wizarding society. He has a sallow face and short black hair. His picture hangs in the Ministry of Magic and he is able to speak to the minister as well as travel from that portrait to his other one that hangs in the office of the Hogwarts Headmaster.

Professor Grubbly-Plank

Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank is a substitute Care of Magical Creatures teacher. She first appears in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, taking lessons when Hagrid is unable to teach, and again in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when Hagrid is away on a mission for Albus Dumbledore.

We know little about her except that she is a very competent teacher, passing even Dolores Umbridge's inspection without incident. She seems always level-headed, cheerful and efficient, and fends off Umbridge's questions without losing her temper or incriminating anybody. She claims to be very happy with the way Dumbledore runs the school. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry trusts her enough to ask her to heal his owl Hedwig when she is injured. Nevertheless, he is always somewhat annoyed by the fact that she is a better teacher than Hagrid, whom Harry remains loyal to no matter how close to fatal his classes may be.

Madam Rolanda Hooch

Madam Rolanda Hooch is a flying teacher and the referee at Quidditch games. Madam Hooch is described as having grey hair, cut short, and "yellow and hawk-like" eyes. Madam Hooch learned to fly on one of the old Silver Arrows, which are now no longer made. They were considered the true forerunner of the racing broom.
