ABOUT THE SUBJECT
Herbology is the study of magical and mundane plants and fungi, making it the wizarding equivalent to botany. Herbology was a core class and subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Castelobruxo, in which students learned to care for and utilise plants, learn about their magical properties and what they are used for.Many plants provided ingredients for potions and medicine, while others had magical effects of their own right.
Herbology is a mandatory class at Hogwarts for the first five years of a student's education. Students spend class time learning about the different varieties of magical plants that exist.The further into a student's education the more difficult and dangerous the plants become.
REQUIRED TESTS AND EXAMS
In the fifth year, when students took Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations, much of the year was spent working with a variety of more dangerous plants like the Fanged Geranium, as well as revisiting the past four years of lessons. As part of their Herbology O.W.L, students had to sit a written exam, and then complete a practical exam, during which the students worked with a wide selection of plants.
Students who achieved a pass grade on their Herbology O.W.L. could move on to the advanced class, where the plants become even more dangerous. At the end of their seventh year, students prepared for their N.E.W.T.s.
FUN FACT: Students were permitted to use profane language loudly should any of the dangerous plants sneak up on them, such as the Venomous Tentacula, seemingly as to warn others or to cope with the stress.
That is it for today, in the next study buddy article of Herbology, we will study on the basic herbological equipments, till the study well and let the magic be with!
