History of Magic
History of Magic is a required class for all students and is taught from the first year to the fifth, with the option of an N.E.W.T. course in the sixth and seventh years. The class is a study of magical history. The lesson plans usually consist of lectures on the 'History of Wizards and the Magical World' (in which goblin rebellions appear most memorably).
This class is similar to the study of History in the Muggle World, as particular emphasis is placed upon remembering dates, names and events.
