It is said that Hermione "took nobody´s advice but signed up for
everything". By doing that she had to study arithmancy, ancient
runes, care of magical creatures, divination and muggle-studies.
the other subjects we´ve get to know of are history of magic,
herbology, transfiguration, charms, potions, astrology, DADA (and
Advanced DADA). there is also a broomstick-riding-course, although
this one is short.
I don´t think Hermione took any other course beside those we get to
know about, considering that she usually speaks a lot about what she
studies. However, this doesn´t mean that there are nothing more is
taught at Hogwarts. There might be courses added as the student gets
older (example: Studies of Magical Languages, like troll, mermish or
gobbledegook...Alchemy...or Mugglestudies like the Arts, Modern
Languages, Mathematic oand the much awaited sexeducation :)
Durmstrang and Beauxbatons does seem to teach English, since Fleur as
well as Krum (although with a rather noticeable accent) speaks it.
This could of course be some kind of translation-charm, thrown over
everybody - but this being the case, shouldn´t it have been mentioned?
