Defence Against the Dark Arts is a subject and core class taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is one of the classes the Main Character takes in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Defence Against the Dark Arts is taught by Professor Patricia Rakepick.
Description[]
Defence Against the Dark Arts takes place in a classroom in the East Towers. This class requires students to study and learn how to defend themselves against all aspects of the Dark Arts, including dark creatures, curses, hexes, jinxes, dark charms, and duelling. Defence Against the Dark Arts is held in Classroom 3C. Defence Against the Dark Arts is a required subject from first year to fifth year. However, in the game, the Main Character does not take the class until their fifth year. In fact, in Year 1, the Main Character mentions to Rowan Khanna how he doesn't remember anything they learnt in Defense Against the Dark Arts that year, breaking the fourth wall.
