Well so it was cursed since back when Voldemort applied for the job which was well before Harry was even born so had to be the 70s or earlier, so presumably it took them several years to even make the connection. Also from the sample size we've seen only 1 of 7 died in the role, and that was forced suicide by Voldemort, so it could very well be that the actual deaths were pretty rare (also like I mentioned earlier I gotta imagine Dumbledore started stepping it up a bit when Harry was getting to a more formidable age and Lupin and Mad Eye probably took the job understanding that it was dangerous but as OotP that they would want Harry and his peers to be well taught)

I forgot Umbridge was DatDA, whoops. She lives, afaik. Also Lupin dies. It's been a while since I read Deathly Hallows, about twelve years in fact.

Wizards are so rare because they're all armed with automatic rifles and they don't get a proper education and when they do they get taught at a prison camp where half of them are accidentally killed every year.

I looked up if Rowling ever said what happened to Umbridge and apparently she got sent to Azkaban, lol. I keep having to remind myself that nothing about the status quo changes after the books wrap up, and Harry goes on to be cop who throws people into a remote island jail guarded by soul sucking creatures of dark magic.

Wasn't Quirrell a DADA teacher before book 1 returning for Harry's first year? Or was it, like, non-consecutive terms like the Grover Cleveland of curses?

Assuming The Cursed Child is canon Lucius Malfoy gets pardoned a third (?) time and uses his vast wealth to create a device that nearly revives Voldemort again, it's absolutely mind boggling.

No Quirrell for sure is new and it's kind of a missed opportunity that we don't hear about the previous teachers, not even from like Fred and George

One of the cleverest things she did was to resist the urge for the hero and lead girl to fall in love, so of course she has repeatedly said she hosed up and should have just had Harry and Hermione end up together

Wait if he was just a bum in the Forbidden Forest until Dumbledore offered him the gig, then why was he on the Hogwarts Express with Harry? Shouldn't have already been at the castle to start with? Did he decide to pop out to London to get a new suit just before the year started?Guy A.

The soul sucking creatures all get fired at the end of the series. Except they’re creatures of pure evil and being prison guards was the only remotely useful they could do, so now they’re just freely flying around the world loving people up?

Expecto patronum just summons a patronus that'll shoo them away and keep them from attacking you, but it won't actually kill/destroy the drat things as far as I could tell from the descriptions of the spell at work in the books.

Yeah the Carrows siblings ((although I didn't remember if they were twins) One teaches Dark Arts, the other teaches a twisted form of Muggle Studies where they learn that muggles are filthy animals etc. Presumably neither lasts to the next year, although I don't think either of them are mentioned to be killed

Dumbledore mentioned that after Voldemort got rejected after applying as the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, that was when the position got cursed. Though since the curse was on the school subject itself, I think Dumbledore could have rules-lawyered his way out of it by removing it from the curriculum and just making a new subject called General Defense.

That bit seemed more like Voldemort or more likely one of his minions actually being smart; since Harry and his friends have gotten notorious at this point for saying Voldemort's name out loud, tracking anyone who says it becomes a good way to find them.
