Flying & Quidditch - The Class
"As every school-age wizard knows, the fact that we fly on broomsticks is probably our worst-kept secret... we were careless for too many centuries to be surprised that broomsticks and magic are inextricably linked in the Muggle mind.”
-Introduction-
Welcome to the main page of one of the only combined OWL/NEWT classes, Flying & Quidditch, a required class for all first years. I am Professor Owen Richards, and my main purpose with this class is to have students face their fears of flying and teach them the art of flying and eventually Quidditch.
-The Course-
Flying and Quidditch is for any student, ranging from the ones with a fear of flying to those who are on their way to be Quidditch Pros. We are going to be learning the fundamentals of flying, broomstick selection and care, and of course the game of Quidditch at Hogwarts and in the professional world. This will mainly be a role play class, but on 'rainy days' there will be assignments that will be short.
-The Expectations-
I expect my students to come, participate and do the assignment for each and every class, as they are just once a month. If you miss the deadline, your house will be docked ten house points. If you miss the deadline twice it goes to twenty and third time is thirty plus detention, so keep that in mind. This will be a fun course and interactive so let's have fun with it.
-The Materials-
Students in Flying and Quidditch should purchase Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp. A personal broomstick is recommended but not required; Nimbus 2002s will be on hand for any student without a broom.
