Divination Class

Though the number of people that believe in the power of Divination has dwindled over the years, the class remains as part of Hogwarts curriculum. In this class, students are taught the art of telling the future--a talent that many believe to be either innate or nonexistant, which further discredits the course as a class.

However, those students that do take Divination--which has become an elective for fifth years and above--will work extensively with tea leaves and crystal balls as well as palmistry, fire omens, tarot cards, and astrology. Each year, students are also required to keep a diary in which they will log their dreams over the span of the year, later attempting to decipher them.

Divination is also a class that is taught by an approved Ministry Official, ensuring that no false prophesies or misread grims crop up to frighten the children.
