French translation

It is important to note that the French translation of Defense Against the Dark Arts remains a a little hasty translation. Indeed, " forces of the mal" would be translated naturally into English by " the forces off evil" , and keeps a strong religious connotation which evokes others sagas, more stereotyped… The Dark Arts is an expression much finer and elegant that " forces of the mal" , which sounds more childish, because so heavy literary stereotypes.

Professors

The post of teacher of DCFM is a station " maudit" since Dumbledore refused to name there Tom Jedusor become Lord Voldemort. Since, the professors follow one another and remain only one school year.
