A touch of tech magic

The professors from the Harry Potter series were formidable, whether it was strict Snape, severe McGonagall, the seemingly amiable Lupin, or Mad-Eye Moody. Severus Snape “Turn to page 394….” No matter how menacing he might sound, Snape creates interactive AI-powered potion recipes on iPads for students, with élan, and also conducts experiments in potion brewing in smart cauldrons that have automatic stirring mechanisms to practise difficult brewing techniques via VR headsets. He also has a COMC analyser that uses Machine Learning algorithms to help students analyse the behaviours of magical creatures and predict how they might react to a certain situation. As Moody likes to blend theory and practical classes, he often hosts defensive magic workshops where students learn to create and cast real-time protective spells. Though he requires some handholding, Binns creates interactive timelines where his students can elaborately explore historical events, and uses AI to generate succinct summaries of important events from various eras.
