Classroom 4F was filled the room with books on history, with a Draconifors spellbook locked in a side-room, protected with minor magical defences. History of Magic classes took place in Class 72 on the third-floor and Classroom 4F on the first-floor. To mix up their lectures, Khanna sometimes brought in another guest lecturer of sorts- a portrait of Rowena Ravenclaw, allowing classmates to hear about the founding of Hogwarts directly from the memories of one of the founders. Another, unofficial, lecturer was Rowan Khanna, who took advantage of Binns' frequent naps and inattention to practice their teaching technique as they aspired to be a professor after graduation. Peeves and other Hogwarts ghosts sometimes came in and lectured the class. ĭuring class, Binns sometimes fell asleep and students played and practised games. Professor Binns was also very dismissive of the legend of Chamber of Secrets when he responded to Hermione's question about it, calling it "Legend" and maintaining that he taught only "Fact". When Hermione ventured a question, Professor Binns did not even remember her name, calling her " Miss Grant," even though she was the only person in his class that actually paid attention. Ron Weasley and Harry Potter both found History of Magic terribly boring, and only managed to pass the class by borrowing Hermione's notes. He did not seem to mind (or notice) that the class rarely paid attention or even slept through his class (with the exception of Hermione Granger, who alone " seemed able to resist the soporific power of Binns' voice"). Binns' lessons consisted of him reciting (or " droning", as many would put it) lectures to his students.

Īs Professor Binns was very old at the time of his death, he was very set in his ways and students find him difficult to relate to. According to Hogwarts folklore, Professor Binns had failed to notice that he was dead: he simply got up from his chair in the staff-room one morning and left his body behind. The class was taught by the ghost of Professor Cuthbert Binns. This class was similar to the study of History in the Muggle World, as particular emphasis was placed upon remembering dates, names and events. The lesson plan usually consisted of lectures on the 'History of Wizards and the Magical World' (in which goblin rebellions appeared most memorably). I deal with facts, Miss Granger, not myths and legends." - Professor Binns
