## Season 5, Episode 15 - The New Teacher

The episode begins with Hermione Granger, a teaching assistant at Hogwarts, announcing that they are looking for a new magical creatures teacher, as Mr. Wogglebug has left to become the chancellor of Oz. She says that they have received several applications from various candidates, and that they will conduct interviews and trials to select the best one.

She then introduces the candidates, who are:

* Hagrid, the former gamekeeper and magical creatures teacher at Hogwarts, who was fired from the position due to giving students firewhisky and endangering their lives with dangerous creatures. He says that he wants to redeem himself and prove that he is a good teacher.
* Gollum, a former hobbit who was corrupted by the One Ring and lost his purpose in life after the destruction of the Ring. He says that he wants to find a new meaning and happiness in teaching magical creatures, which he loves and calls his “precious”.
* Gandalf, a powerful wizard and a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, who helped defeat Sauron and save Middle-earth. He says that he wants to share his wisdom and experience with young wizards and witches, and that he has a fondness for magical creatures, especially dragons.
* Other candidates, such as:
	+ Newt Scamander, a famous magizoologist and author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He says that he wants to educate students about the diversity and beauty of magical creatures, and that he has a collection of rare and exotic specimens that he can show them.
	+ Fluttershy, a pegasus pony who lives in Equestria and has a special talent for communicating with animals. She says that she wants to teach students how to be kind and gentle with magical creatures, and that she has a lot of friends who are magical creatures that she can introduce them to.
	+ Steve Irwin, a muggle wildlife expert and television personality who died in 2006 but was resurrected by Dr. Strange. He says that he wants to teach students how to respect and appreciate magical creatures, and that he has a lot of enthusiasm and passion for them.

The episode then follows the interviews and trials of the candidates, as Hermione Granger and the other teachers ask them questions and observe them teaching a class of students.

They each have their strengths and weaknesses, such as:

* Hagrid is friendly and loyal, but he is also clumsy and reckless. He tries to impress the students with his knowledge and affection for magical creatures, but he also puts them in danger with his lack of caution and control. He brings a blast-ended skrewt to the class, which causes havoc and chaos.
* Gollum is cunning and resourceful, but he is also greedy and selfish. He tries to charm the students with his stories and riddles about magical creatures, but he also tries to steal their belongings and food. He brings a giant spider to the class, which scares and disgusts them.
* Gandalf is wise and powerful, but he is also mysterious and secretive. He tries to inspire the students with his magic and adventures with magical creatures, but he also keeps them in suspense and confusion. He brings a dragon egg to the class, which hatches into a baby dragon.
* Newt Scamander is knowledgeable and curious, but he is also eccentric and shy. He tries to educate the students with his facts and observations about magical creatures, but he also struggles to communicate and interact with them. He brings a niffler to the class, which escapes and causes trouble.
* Fluttershy is kind and gentle, but she is also timid and nervous. She tries to teach the students how to be compassionate and caring with magical creatures, but she also fears their judgment and criticism. She brings a phoenix to the class, which sings beautifully but also bursts into flames.
* Steve Irwin is enthusiastic and adventurous, but he is also reckless and loud. He tries to teach the students how to respect and appreciate magical creatures, but he also puts them in danger with his daring and risky actions. He brings a basilisk to the class, which petrifies some of them.
