What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?
I didn't, I was convinced to finally teach at the school after having been asked a few times. When Analiza Snark pays you a personal visit it's hard to say no.
What do you think of the students as a whole?
Not a bad bunch of kids really, some of the fifth years are a little mouthy but what do you really expect from a group of fifteen year olds?
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?
I have become rather partial to Miss Flickwick and Miss O'Malley, them being fellow seers and all.
Single? Married?
Very single thanks for asking.
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
If I say going home at the end of the night would that put me on your naughty list? Don't get me wrong I do enjoy teaching I'm just not used to teaching people so young, I just don't think they're old enough to really get it.
Least Favorite?
Seeing the disappointment in the kids faces when they don't get it.
What're 3 words that describe you?
Small, Shy, Invisible
What do you get up to during the summers?
 I help run a small divination shop in Hogsmeade, been there for eight years, that's where I started teaching actually. Though my workshops were for older witches and wizards, not teenagers.
Hobbies
Drinking
Anything positive to say about your fellow teachers, or another teacher in particular?
Nothing really comes to mind, I haven't exactly spent a whole lot of time with the other teachers having come in half way through the school year and all.
Anything negative about the teachers as a whole or one in particular?
Well he isn't a teacher any more but Demetri* shouldn't have gotten his arse sacked, he was a good drinking buddy and probably the only one of them I actually spent any time with.

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?
I needed a job Hogwarts has a way of drawing its students back again - I suppose I fell prey to that nostalgia as much as anything else.
What do you think of the students as a whole?
They're a particularly loud lot. Rather overdramatic.
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?
Certainly. Neely Woolfolk is a particular favorite of mine.
Single? Married?
Single. (That's not what we've heard)
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
The children.
Least Favorite?
The children.
What're 3 words that describe you?
Efficient, ambitious, sardonic.
What do you get up to during the summers?
Hard as it is to believe, staff do have social lives. I spend my free time with a few close friends or developing potion skills.
Any hobbies you'd like to share?
Same as the above.
Anything positive to say about your fellow teachers, or another teacher in particular?
Well, I'd like to offer my congratulations to Declan Ó Móráin on his new deputy headmaster post...
Anything negative about the teachers as a whole or one in particular?
Of course not.

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?
The position was open, and I had the appropriate skill set.
What do you think of the students as a whole?
I think that the vast majority of students lack common sense and will flounder when they reach the real world due to over-coddling by parents and some professors.
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?
It is unprofessional to play favorites with one's students.
Single? Married?
My love life is hardly the general public's business.
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
The few bright minds one comes across. A handful of them, really, out of hundreds of students.
Least Favorite?
Disrespectful students.
What're 3 words that describe you?
Intelligent, ambitious, strict.
What do you get up to during the summers?
I doubt that anyone cares to hear about how I spend my summers. Hogwarts Professors do not have lives outside of Hogwarts as far as most students and adults are concerned.
Any hobbies you'd like to share?
I hardly consider attempting to create more effective potions a "hobby".
Anything positive/negative to say about your fellow professors?
It is incredibly unprofessional for Witch Weekly to ask such a question- and I refuse to answer it. Any employed Hogwarts witch or wizard with decorum would feel the same.

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?
My daughter and sister are currently students at Hogwarts, so it was a nice change of pace, and a way to stay with my family.
What do you think of the students as a whole?
There are a few bright, sweet kids in a sea of...well. The student body has changed since I was in school, but the good far outweighs the bad.
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?
My daughter and sister of course! :)* And any of the kids who actually like my class (you know who you are).
Single? Married?
Widower. Not looking. Not looking.
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
Meeting the kids and helping them learn.
Least Favorite?
Having to deal with students who're too bull-headed to accept simple fact.
What're 3 words that describe you?
Neat, well-read, and brown family-oriented.
What do you get up to during the summers?
I continue my work for the University of Cambridge, and spend as much time with my kids as possible.
Any hobbies you'd like to share?
Gaming, reading and writing.
Anything positive to say about your fellow teachers, or another teacher in particular?
Overall? I think the teachers here are good at their subjects and are - for the most part - respected in their field of study. With the student body as flippant as it can be, discipline is as important as ever, and most of my colleagues are good at enforcing that. It's also important, however, to hold the respect of your students - and at that, many of us fall short, myself included.
Anything negative about the teachers as a whole or one in particular?
Strictness can be done badly, however - such as when you have little care for your students. If you don't like children on some level - even just valuing them for the possibilities they represent - then why would you bother to teach?

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?
A change of scenery. I was employed at Durmstrang, and the position became vacant at short notice. I was originally considered to be on loan to Hogwarts, but ceased that arrangement when I discovered how inept British magical teenagers were at defending themselves, bar a few exceptions. In the wider reasons, teaching is somewhat a family tradition.
What do you think of the students as a whole?
The British youth need a bit of stick put about them. Far too complacent in peacetime. They make life interesting, certainly.
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?
What makes you believe I indulge in favourites? Each student who puts in effort will be commended on their achievements by me, and it doesn't require publication in a magazine. ...However rarely I commend students.
Single? Married?
Single.
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?
No two days the same. Keeps the mind active.
Least Favorite?
Discovering that some students really are more dim than you could ever imagine. Merlin help your employers, I can only assume your families are fine, no doubt as witless as their children.
What're 3 words that describe you?
Worldly, erudite, recondite
What do you get up to during the summers?
Distancing myself well away from any students is the main point of it all.
Any hobbies you'd like to share?
I always complete the Daily Prophet crossword, otherwise I'm far too busy teaching sense into the young magical population of Britain to have such trivial pursuits.
Anything positive to say about your fellow teachers, or another teacher in particular?
Fishing for scandal more like. My colleagues are far more likely to see the centenary Hogwarts reunion for this academic year than I will be, by three decades.
Anything negative about the teachers as a whole or one in particular?:
Also, that they're far more likely to see it. Read into this what you will...!

"Professor Ignan Storm's bum is adorable."

"I would like to stick candy in my beard have Professor Storm and eat it."

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?:
Even though I moved to the states to teach for a while and was quite content there, it was nice to come back to where I learned everything about magic. I also came here to be closer to...family.

What do you think of the students as a whole?:
I love my students. I am fairly lucky in that I get to teach an elective class where the students taking it generally want to be there, instead of being forced to take a class because it may be a core one. This allows me to take some liberties in how I go about teaching the subject matter, which to some, can be rather dry and boring.

Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?:
I try not to favor any students.

Single? Married?:
No Answer.

What's your favorite part of being a teacher?:
Opening my students' eyes to learning something new.

Least Favorite?:
Disciplining students who misbehave, break rules or the like.

What're 3 words that describe you?:
Humble. Eccentric. Genuine.

What do you get up to during the summers?:
Camping or anything outdoorsy.

Any hobbies you'd like to share?:
Camping or anything outdoorsy.

What made you want to come to Hogwarts to teach?:
The short story is Knox invited me to take the post as Gamekeeper and, eventually, nurse. 

The slightly long story is I came here to retire.  Or, rather, escape from retirement.  I'd been a field Auror cross-trained as a Healer for just over forty-four years.  Most of my time was, indeed, spent in the field.  I was on assignment in Mombay when I heard word of a yeti giving folks some difficulty at a monastery in Tibet.  I went to give a hand and destroyed my knee in the process.  And, ended up being forced into retirement.  Full retirement was a little too slow-paced for my likings so, once I'd healed, Knox invited me to Hogwarts. 

What do you think of the students as a whole?:

They're wonderfully challenging.  They're a much more punchy and rebellious lot than I was expecting.  But, that doesn't bother me.  Kids are supposed to start testing the boundaries as teenagers - it's the only way they'll learn who they are before they reach adulthood.  This is, definitely, a challenging bunch but, if you look past the rebellion, most of them are good kids.
Any favorite students you'd like to give a 'shout out' to?:

I don't have regular contact with the whole student body like the professors.  I only see them when they've got an issue they've convinced themselves won't just go away with negligence.  There are a handful of students who come to visit even when they aren'd dying, or their owls aren't dying.  I appreciate them all.
Single? Married?:

For better or worse, the fates have decided that I'm destined to be single.
What's your favorite part of being a teacher?:

My favorite part is that I don't have to teach.  I'm not really an authority figure - not in the same sense. at least.  I don't have to worry about conduct and such unless the misconduct leads someone to end up in my cabin.  So, I get to be more of an advisor or a confidant to those who need it.  I can't really do my job if the kids fear they're going to get in trouble if they are honest so what happens in the hospital hut remains a matter for the hospital hut. 
Least Favorite?:

It's a bit more sedentary than I'm used to.  I do, admittedly, get bored and antsy.  I do miss being in the field but I am happy here. 
What're 3 words that describe you?:

Depends on who you ask.  I'd suppose if I had to pick three: Eccentric, wayward and matronly
What do you get up to during the summers?:

I've really only had one entirely free summer from 'school' to do with as I please.  I usually travel as much as I can.  I try to get home to see my brother and nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and nephews if I can.  During my time in the field, I gained friends in a variety of places so I also try to get down to Australia and South Africa and over in Tibet if I can. 
Any hobbies you'd like to share?:

Plenty.  I used to barrel race and do some smaller rodeo circuits in my youth but I haven't done that in years.  I do love to cook and bake.  I also play the banjo. 

Anything positive to say about your fellow teachers, or another teacher in particular?

More power to them.  We've had a lot of changes of staff lately.  I admire they're ability to come in and hit the ground running mid race.
Anything negative about the teachers as a whole or one in particular?:

I just think some of them need to remember that during teenaged years, kids are supposed to rebel.  We all did it, in some way or another.
