Puppy Professors

Professor Ignotus Wagstaff teaches Transfiguration at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is currently the only registered Animagus on staff at Hogwarts, and is seen here in his animal form. During his time as a student at Hogwarts, Professor Wagstaff played Chaser for Gryffindor, and was drafted to the Chudley Cannons, but retired after breaking both arms and his left leg during a match against Puddlemere United. After Minerva McGonagall’s official retirement, Wagstaff returned to Hogwarts to teach Transfiguration. He has been described by his students as a “jolly good bloke” and “a bit of a nutter, but aren’t they all.” He is good friends with Donaghan Tremlett, bassist for the Weird Sisters, and on weekends and during his summer holidays, the two can often be found in London, laying rap to the pretty young witches in many of the city’s magical pubs.

Dr. Helen Ann Julius chairs the anthropology department at Tufts University. She doesn’t believe in exams or research papers, has a lenient policy on late work, and sometimes misplaces her wig. She will often shorten lectures to let students out early on days like Halloween, 4/20, or whenever there’s a new episode of Bones. Because of her vehement anti-paperwork policy, she has never once been late in posting grades. The final is always optional. She has a flawless 5/5 rating on Rate My Professor.

Adjunct Professor Steve Zoller teaches Intercultural Communication at Arizona State University. He is a xenophobic ass seemingly stuck in the Cold War who mostly uses his class as a platform to rant about communism. The best way to pass his class is to firmly align yourself with him against communism. His hobbies are McCarthyism and waterskiing at Lake Havasu.

Professor Joanne Feinstein teaches International Media, Cultural History of Advertising, and Language & Literature of Films at NYU, as well as acting as interim chair of the Media Studies department (the official chair recently came down with a bad case of rabies). Joanne is a no-nonsense teacher and a harsh grader who takes the school’s anti-plagiarism policy extremely seriously, even if it was an accident. Plays blatant favorites, but should you be lucky enough to be one of those favorites, she can hook you up with some pretty sweet internships at NBC-Universal. On her days off, Joanne enjoys going to the theatre and playing the occasional game of tennis.

Dr. Mackintosh “Big Mack” Morton teaches Intro to Political Science, Global Civics, and International Relations at Western Michigan University. He holds a Ph.D in Political Science from Cornell and has published several well-reviewed books on the subject; his most famous, Power & Choice: Political Science Today, is one of the market’s best-sellers. He is really tough the first two weeks “to weed out the pussies,” and then relaxes into one of the friendliest teachers you’ll ever have. Big Mack’s interests include crossword puzzles and the Socratic Method.

Professor Edie Barclay teaches Western Theatre History and Applied Drama at Oberlin College. She holds an M.A. in drama from Carnegie Mellon University. Her play Drinking Mirrors, a look at womens’ issues in Gulf War Iran, was nominated for the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play or Musical in 2005. When she’s not teaching, Professor Barclay enjoys camping and brewing her own beer.

Professor Burt “Buster” Farnsworth teaches Puppy Economics at Wesleyan. In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking.
