Did the DADA Curse Lift after Voldemort's Death? - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the curse that Voldemort placed on the Defence Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts and whether or not it lifted after the Dark Lord's death.

Over the course of Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, many things within the school remained steadfastly the same. The magic within the walls of the castle itself, the eerie ghosts that roamed the hallways, as well as the many familiar faces of the teaching staff. From Professor Minerva McGonagall, the constant Transfiguration teacher, to Professor Cuthbert Binns who continued to teach History of Magic even after he DIED, many of the men and women who worked at Hogwarts had been in their roles for many, many years.
