iVillage mom: "I think the teachers are dedicated to their skill and if all of them combined their magic, they would all be a force to reckon with. Plus, I would love to receive owls from their instructors, especially Professor Professor McGonagall, telling me how my child can transfigure an object with the greatest of ease and not cause a whole disaster in the house." -- Sebastian

Dr. Michele Borba, Parenting Secrets: "I adore the Hogwarts staff, especially Professor McGonigal. (Of course, there are a few who should be handed a pink slip). On the whole, they are nurturing, kid-oriented, and love their subject. Wouldn't you love for your kids to have those kinds of teachers?"

Sherry Davey, Funny Mom: "I wouldn't mind an owl from one of the instructors but I don't trust Professor Snape. I think he'd put a spell on it, so that as soon as the owl came near me, it would crap on my head."
