Care of Magical Creatures is the most popular course after Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Because this course is also a practical course.
Hagrid has been highly anticipated since he brought the hippogriff to the first class. The second class did not disappoint everyone. Hagrid brought the father of the hippogriffs, a physique. A powerful gryphon (Gryphon).
Although the gryphon's personality is different from that of the hippogriffs, and it does not allow anyone except Hagrid to get close to it, so the little wizards failed to successfully ride it, but just observing it up close made everyone excited.
Creatures like griffins are so powerful and handsome.
The third lesson is about Dudley and Harry's old acquaintance - the three-headed Fluffy.
The huge size gives people a great sense of oppression, even just standing in front of it feels great pressure.
Until Lu Wei saw Dudley.
It turns out that three-headed dogs have very good memories.
The moment he saw Dudley, the originally mighty three-headed dog immediately changed into a flattering expression, and its three heads began to rub up against Dudley in turn.
Maybe Lu Wei has already equated Dudley and Hagrid in his heart.
Listed on a list that must not be messed with.
"Dudley, have you seen him before?" Hagrid asked curiously.
Dudley gently pushed the three huge heads away and replied to Hagrid, "I guess."
Magical creatures like three-headed dogs are also very popular. With Hagrid protecting him, many little wizards have successfully touched Lu Wei, which makes everyone even more excited.
Every time you can see a new magical creature, and occasionally you can get started with it, the little wizards will naturally like it.
Naturally, the popularity gradually increased.
By the way, the carnivorous slug eggs from the previous hybridization have not yet hatched.
The agreed three weeks have come, and in this potions class, Dudley successfully handed in a satisfactory answer sheet to Snape.
He successfully improved the formula of the shrinking potion.
A new type of shrinking potion has been produced.
The medicinal properties are more stable. The most important thing is that the taste is not so unacceptable, and there is even a hint of the unique fragrance of water chestnuts.
"Perfect answer, then as agreed, Mr. Dursley can conduct his own research in Potions class from today on."
Snape held up the new potion that Dudley had completed and said to the young wizards with a little pride.
"If any of you can do it, then I can also grant him this power."
"Of course, if you fail, you will have to clean the entire school's toilets."

When the bell rang, Dudley and Hermione stood up from their seats and began to pack up the textbooks on their desks.
This class is about ancient magic texts.
The professor is a witch named Basilda Barbling with a serious and serious expression.
A few figures walked out of the classroom.
There are not many people who choose this subject. It can even be described as pitifully few. There are fewer people than Trelawney, a big liar, in the divination class. At least in the divination class, you only need to say that you saw death, and then briefly describe it. You can get extra points.
Most of the people who choose this subject are from Ravenclaw and Slytherin, and people from the remaining two houses will never choose it. With the exception of Hermione, she is the only one with a Grandord score in the entire Hogwarts who chooses this course.
It is worth mentioning that Hermione finally followed Dudley's advice and gave up these three courses after taking Divination, Arithmancy and Muggle Studies.
Choose Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes with Dudley.
Human energy is limited, as Dudley said, it is better to specialize in a few things than to be broad but not precise.
Ancient magic texts sound very advanced, but in fact it is a very boring subject.
It's not like Dudley's impression in those fan works, where you just learn the arrangement and combination of runes and rune characters at the beginning. Although they are also involved, they are all content that will be covered in the later stages of this subject, and even Don't think about it until you graduate from Hogwarts.
The content I learned in the early stage was quite boring, well, even more boring than the history of magic.
The most basic part of this course is to first learn a language, an ancient magic language system.
Then translating ancient magical literature records into modern languages is what is done in every class of this course.
Use simpler words to describe what ancient magic texts have to do - language learning + translation + archeology
Dudley and Hermione listened very carefully.
Ancient magic language is the basis for using ancient magic. If you want to use runes, if you don't understand ancient magic language, you won't be able to do it.
It's like you get the Nine Yin Manual, but you don't know the meaning of the words in it. Let alone making the Nine Yin Divine Claw into the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, you can't even practice chicken claw madness.
"Today's class is finally over."
Dudley twisted his neck slightly and made a "crack, click, click" sound.
This made the little wizard sitting in the row behind him and Hermione feel frightened, fearing that he might accidentally twist his neck off.
"Dudley, what are your plans for the evening? Do you want to watch Quidditch?" Hermione suggested while putting the textbook into the small bag that had been casted by the Invisible Stretching Charm: "I heard that today is Gryffindor and At the Hufflepuff game, Harry was invited by Gryffindor captain Wood to be a special guest."
When Dudley heard it was Quidditch, his interest suddenly dropped, and he shook his head decisively: "What's interesting about Quidditch, dogs won't go there."
If you have time to watch Quidditch, you might as well play a game of Wizards Cards or do a set of pull-up exercises.
More and more wizards like this game. According to incomplete statistics, the number is no less than that of wizards who like Quidditch.
The money Jin Jialong earned was a huge amount of money.
"Yeah."
There was a flash of disappointment in Hermione's eyes, which was keenly caught by Dudley.
In the past three years, apart from daily exercise, Hermione basically spent time in the library, occasionally sneaking away to the Forbidden Forest with Dudley to play wizard cards.
She had never been to Quidditch, the most popular sport among wizards.
Hmm. Dudley went there once and wrote down two things to be corrected in a small notebook.
"Hermione, you want to watch Quidditch?"
"Well, that's not true. Mainly, the two of us have never watched a Quidditch match together."
Hermione wasn't that interested in Quidditch, she wanted to watch it with Dudley.
The point is to watch it together, not to play Quidditch.
"Then let's go together."
Dudley clapped his hands and stood up.
"Didn't you say that dogs don't go to Quidditch?"
"Yeah, I'm not here to watch Quidditch."
"Then what are you going to see?"
Halfway through her words, Hermione reacted immediately, and her little face instantly turned red, making people want to take a bite.
He and Hermione were not watching Quidditch together, so what were they watching?
You can't just go see the Dementors, right?
