Flying is a Seminar type class, given to first year students twice per year. It teaches basic broom-handling skills, and a passing grade is required to use a broom on the school grounds. It is strictly pass/fail, and those who fail the first time can retake it in a remedial form in the spring.

It's possible to fail flying for several years in a row, and opt to take the remedial courses. Students who fail the course are not required to pass, but cannot use the brooms or join a house team until they do.

Classroom

Flying takes place outdoors in the fall and against in the spring, usually in one of the larger courtyards. Students are lined up with a school broom at their side and asked to perform basic broom skills.

Class Content

Topics covered in Flying are...

  • How to mount a broomstick
  • Proper form and posture
  • Forward, backwards, turning, up and down
  • Safe falling
  • Broom care, how brooms are made
  • The rules of Quidditch

In the 1920s (and perhaps before and after that date), flying class was broken down into Girls' Broomstick Riding and Boys' Broomstick Riding. [1]
