Do you think VWI *is* included in the history of magic
courses?  

...we might just get more info on VWI in later books. 
So far, Harry relates that HoM consists of Goblin
Rebellions and all that.  I'm not about to go look it
up, but I know Hermione mentions sheer facts every
once in awhile, I guess if she's bored.  For example,
"the Goblin Rebellion of <insert year here> was
organized in that building."  I believe she says
something to this effect in PoA?  So if these Goblin
Rebellions were a few hundred 

Me: Yes, she says that in PoA, and the year is 1612.
You're right of course, VW I might be taught higher up
in the school. But I still don't think it's a very
good curriculum. I mean, we have to cover almost 400
years of history in 3 years. And there are at least 2
events during this time span that have great effect in
WW, the Grindelwald war and VW I.

Also, Grindelwald can not be the first dark wizard
around! There would be similar war in the past. 
And I think wizards and muggles shares history some
centuries back, why don't the kids learn about this?

They don't need to learn Goblin's rebellion in
depth... certainly not spending 4 years on that topic
alone!

Laura:
Which could potentially be Professor Binns second
successful class of 
the series.  =)  

Me:
I agree...Makes me think, can you sack a ghost? I
think I will sack him! Would he listen to me if I say
he needs to rest? <g>

Also, I've just think of an additional class I would
taught to the student. Perhaps for first year only, or
may be first and second year. 

Hogwarts -  A history
It's a pity that the students know so little about the
history of hogwarts. This course would provide them
with information about the founding of hogwarts, and
how it is run, and bits and pieces like the charmed
ceiling of great hall. I would, of course, banned the
secret passages to be told to students. They need to
find it themselves, much more fun that way!
