Slytherin Arithmancy Challenge




Arithmancy at Hogwarts is taught
by Professor Vector.

In her class, students are
expected to write essays and to be able to understand
complicated number
charts, which are part of their homework.
Arithmancy is a branch of magic
that is concerned with the magical
properties of numbers; someone who
practices Arithmancy is called an
Arithmancer.
For example, in the 1200s, Bridget Wenlock, a famous
Arithmancer, discovered the magical properties of the number seven.
An O.W.L. in Arithmancy is required to apply for a
curse-breaker's job at
Gringotts.
