Professors are the lifeblood of any school, and Hogwarts is no exception. Their teachers are all quite memorable characters with different talents, personalities, and teaching methods. They also cover a wide variety of classes from Care of Magical Creatures to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

So, which Hogwarts professor is most like you? Why not compare through the traits of the 12 zodiac signs? (Note that this list is based on personalities, and not the actual canon birthdays of the Harry Potter characters.)

Aries - Moody

professor

Aries are born from March 21 to April 19. Their symbol is the flying ram and they are associated with the element of fire. They are known to value action and are often courageous but also can be impulsive and moody.

Moody would understand any Aries, as he holds many of the same traits. He is tough, brave, and known to be impulsive.

Taurus - Madam Hooch

Born from April 20 to May 20, Tauruses are known for their stability. They are down-to-earth people who value hard work and commitment.

Quidditch teacher Madam Hooch is the same. While she does teach a sport that is literally about flying, she is quite grounded. She keeps things fair while still being strict.

Gemini - Quirrell

Geminis are born from May 21 to June 20. They can be gentle and adaptable people, but also prone to nervousness and hate being alone.

While Quirrell was the main villain of the first book and film, he was not always evil. In his youth, he was emotionally delicate and enjoyed quiet activities like pressing wild flowers and studying academia. These are all Gemini-like traits. Like many Gemini, Quirrell also hides another side of who he is.

Cancer - Snape

Cancers are born from June 21 to July 22. They are known to be persuasive and loyal. However, they can be insecure and manipulative as well. Their symbol is the crab and their element is water.

Snape is the dark side of a Cancer. He is a Slytherin who teaches Potions, and he reveals very little about himself to others, and is quite moody, manipulative, and pessimistic.

Leo - Lockhart

Born from July 23 to August 22, Leos like to be treated like they are important. They are cheerful people who can be generous and compassionate, but also lazy and inflexible.

Lockhart fits many Leo traits perfectly. His ego is enormous and he loves to be the center of attention, even if it means telling some little white lies.

Virgo - Hagrid

Virgos are born from August 23 to September 22. They are often the kind of people who are shy, love animals, and are loyal and practical.

All those traits describe Hagrid. He teaches Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts, and never likes to be the center of attention. He is also fiercely loyal to the school's headmaster, Dumbledore.

Libra - Sprout

Born from September 23 to October 22, Virgos value harmony and sharing. They are gracious, fair-minded, and social people who hate violence and injustice.

These are all very Hufflepuffian traits, and Herbology teacher, Sprout, is the Head of the Hufflepuff House. She is positive, loyal, and often cheerful.

Scorpio - Dumbledore

Scorpios are born from October 23 to November 21. They can be very brace, resourceful, and passionate. However, they also can be quite secretive and manipulative.

Dumbledore is a complex character who fits into all these traits. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts and keeps many secrets. He also is not afraid to manipulate others in order to keep a situation handled.

Sagittarius - Firenze

Sagittariuses are born from November 22 to December 21. They value freedom, philosophy, and being outside.

Firenze isn't Sagittarius just because he is a centaur, as he is also someone who loves to to discuss big matters and hates being confined to the indoors.

Capricorn - McGonagall

Born from December 22 to January 19, Capricorns are people who value tradition and family. They often are known for their self-control, discipline, and manners. However, they do have a bad habit of sounding condescending at times.

McGonagall is one such teacher. She is stern, has a dry sense of humor, and is fair-minded. When she shows kindness, it is in a reserved manner.

Aquarius - Lupin

Born from January 20 to February 18, Aquariuses are known to be aloof people who enjoy intellectual conversation. They love to fight for causes and are progressive-minded, but also do not like to be emotionally vulnerable to others.

Lupin is similar. He values intelligent conversation and justice, and is a good listener who puts a lot of value on friendship.

Pisces - Trelawney

Pisces are those born from February 19 to March 20. They are often quite artistic and intuitive. They love all things immaterial, like music, dance, and the spiritual.

Divination teacher Trelawney is all of the above. It was clear from her teaching that she was incredibly passionate about spirituality.
