Andrea:

I find it amusing that 5 classes is all you allot for actual magic in 
your magic school.  Isn't that the reason they're THERE?  No 
Transfiguration at all, nor Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, 
Defense Against the Dark Arts, etc that was apparently important 
enough for the entire school year to be devoted to them at pre-Bill 
Hogwarts.  This is like taking out English and Science in favor of 
nothing but Home Ec!  These are the core classes, and the rest of 
your schedule should really be built around them, IMO.

Mel:

Agreed. They're there to learn magic.

Me:

Actually, I thought that they were there to learn what they need to 
know as an adult.  All of the other subjects would be available as 
electives, but is learning how to harvest Venemous Tentacula really 
more important than learning how to balance a chequebook?  Is knowing 
how to transfigure a hedgehog into a pincushion more important than 
knowing how to use the Internet?  

I do agree that Muggle Daily Life and Wizarding Daily Life could be 
integrated into one class.
