Hello I am Professor Fynn

Welcome to the History of Magic class

History of Magic is a core class and subject taught at SMILE. This class is a study of magical history. This is one of the subjects where the use of magic practically isn't necessary. History of Magic is taught from the first year to the fifth, and is completed with an O.W. L. exam with only a written section.

History of Magic by common consent the most boring subject ever devised by Wizard-kind.

"My subject is History of Magic. I deal with facts, not myths and legends." 

Let's start the class by brainstorming. What do you think:

• When was magic first discovered?
• What are the origins of magic?

Don't forget to write your name, country and house name in the text. For every assignment you do in this class you will earn magic beans for your house. 

I want you to research your favourite magician of all time and post a picture of him/her along with a few lines about what you admire about him/her.  Just click on this link and you can add your piece and I will see your name too.

Your second task is the find a trick you like the most.  Perform it and add as a video.  The other countries must figure out how you did it!  Here is a link to a few suggestions, but of course if you have a favourite trick you can choose yourself or as a class.
