Gryffindor Professor Interview

Professor Gavin Harnett

Emma Felton: Good evening, Professor Gavin Harnett. I’d just like to say thank you for taking time out of your busy day to make room for this interview.
Prof. Gavin Harnett: You are very welcome.
Emma Felton: Alright, let’s start of then with a question. What made you get into the art of teaching? What was it that inspired you to become a professor at Hogwarts?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Well I have always really been gifted at charms, and I always enjoy helping people. I’m not really into, healing or anything like that. Plus I failed at potions, so, I guess Teaching is my way to pay back to society and I love Hogwarts, who doesn’t? So the more time spent there the better.
Emma Felton: So before, you said teaching was your way to pay back to society. What would you need to pay them back for exactly?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: For giving me the quality education that I have now, and for protecting me from harm when it was needed.
Emma Felton: True. So what classes do you currently teach here at Hogwarts and what do you think you, as a professor, bring to Hogwarts?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Haha, Well I teach Basic Charm. You know basic spells such as Lumos, Wingardium Leviosa, and easy stuff like that. Uhhhh, What I bring to Hogwarts? Well that’s a good question and I think you would have to ask my students what they think before you ask me.
Emma Felton: That I will! What are some of your goals and objectives whilst here at Hogwarts? How do you plan to achieve these goals?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Uhhh, My goals would just to become a valued member in the school, and to help as much as I possibly can. How to go about it? Helping out with Gryffindor as much as possible.
Emma Felton: So, do you happen to be involved in any of the school clubs or events?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Actually I haven’t been able to get involved with them, but hope to be involved soon enough.
Emma Felton: Yeah, it’s always good to think about what you might do in the days to come. Where do you imagine you’ll be in five years? Ten years?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Well haha, hopefully in five years I’ll be married. Yes I’m single, just a fact you might want to know, and in ten maybe be more of a professional at teaching
Emma Felton: I’m sure the female population will be very excited to hear your marital status. Do you have any special woman in mind right now?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Haha, Well that my friend is something to be a mystery to everyone
Emma Felton: Cryptic! Well, thank you for this interview. Is there anything you’d like to add?
Prof. Gavin Harnett: Nothing really, just the usual keep up your studies, and that all the single professors can send their owls to my office.

After that, I went and interviewed a Slytherin student (Sebastian Haviland) of Professor Gavin Harnett’s to get their point of view on him. Since this interview is mainly about Professor Harnett, I just asked very few questions to the student. Plus, I didn’t want to hang around a ickle firstie longer than needed.

Emma Felton: Hello, I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions about a professor of yours. Professor Gavin Harnett.
Sebastian Haviland: Uhhhhh - what teacher is that again?
Emma Felton: He’s the professor of your basic charms class.
Sebastian Haviland: oh the baboon, sure. I’ll be glad to answer any questions about that pathetic teacher.
Emma Felton: What exactly do you think of this professor and their teaching style? Besides the fact that you think he is a pathetic baboon.
Sebastian Haviland: Well I mean it could be worse, I like him better than that blubbering Professor Kane. I mean he’s kind of Puffish in the classroom, but doesn’t give you detention for making a burping reference. like really if he didn’t want someone to answer the damn question he shouldn’t have asked.
Emma Felton: Strong words for a firstie. So, Harnett’s class is pretty easy then?
Sebastian Haviland: yeah so easy, Sioban Ashford could pass it if she wanted.

With that said, I had left to edit and fix this article up. If you have any other questions for either the professor or student I’m sure they’d be delighted to talk to you any time. Just send them an owl and be on your way. Also, if there is a particularl Gryffindor professor you would like to see in the next issue, you may feel free to send Emma Felton and owl as well.
