* Magical Games & Sports
	+ Taught by: Madam Rolanda Hooch
	+ This is the only elective, and in fact the only class, offered at Hogwarts in which there are no exams and in which you cannot earn an OWL or NEWT.  Class time is spent playing a variety of magical games and sports, from Exploding Snap and Wizard's Chess, to Winged Horse Racing and Quidditch.  Due to the popularity of this class, a strict limit of only eighteen places are available for each year, so, if you pick this, it's highly suggested you pick a backup elective in case you don't get in.  If you don't pick a backup elective and the eighteen places for your year have already been filled, an alternate elective will be randomly assigned to you.  Also, if you only picked two electives, you will be unable to drop the randomly assigned elective until the following year to ensure that you continue to have the required two electives in your schedule.
