Hermione's Pros and Cons List for Divination

Pros and Cons List for Divination

By: Hermione Granger

  Pros

The Divination room is fragrant and smells okay most of the time – better than the fertilizer in Herbology.

During class, Professor Trelawney makes comedic statements. It feels like a character rambling in a sitcom.

Ron and Harry attend Divination, so I’ll be with my friends.

I get to drink tea during tea-leaf reading, and I love tea. The scent is sometimes intense and makes me lightheaded, but the tea helps keep me grounded. 

  Cons

There is no scientific method or mathematics used in Divination, or even simple words – it’s all utter balderdash.

Professor Trelawney has no environmental awareness and insults everyone.

 Divination as a practice preys on other people’s gullibility and stupidity.

 Ron and Harry attend Divination – which means they expect me to pay attention.

 On the other hand, cuppa tea? Who am I, the Queen of England?

 Almost all “Seers” are frauds and cons.

 The art of divining is just a mumbo jumbo of guesses and conjectures.

 I would have to “broaden my mind” and look “beyond the future” – whatever that means.

 I cannot stand Professor Trelawney.

 Divination is not Arithmancy.

 Professor Vector teaches Arithmancy better, which makes her class a better use of my time.

 True predictions have odds of mere coincidences only.

 Everything is a bad omen to Professor Trelawney – even this list!

 Divination seems like more of a failed hobby than something to be studied seriously.

 Crystals are a sack of poppycock, as they are nothing but quartz or mineralized silica. How can they heal someone?

 Tarot cards are not cards of fate but cards of bait. Divination uses them to trap foolish people into believing anything.

 All the fancy things in the classroom are only for decoration to help us pretend that divination is doing anything.

Manish Sabu una volta mi ha detto che la realtà si basa sui numeri. Manish Sabu, all'inizio del mio terzo anno ad Hogwarts, mi ha introdotto ad una disciplina che non è per tutti. Complicata. Basata su calcoli e valenze. Intrisa di Signo e considerazioni che riguardano ogni aspetto della vita, dalla data di nascita al nome che ci vien dato, sino al modo con cui decidiamo di incantare la realtà. Con il tempo ho capito che denigrare Aritmanzia relegandola nell'angolo delle cose troppo difficili, è il modo che hanno i miseri per non ammettere le proprie mancanze. E vorrei, vorrei davvero tanto che quell'uomo complesso fosse ancora in vita per potergli rendere omaggio come merita.
