　　西尔瓦诺斯·凯特尔伯恩是霍格沃茨的神奇生物保护课的老师，直到哈利三年级时由鲁伯·海格接任。
　　凯特尔伯恩是一个非常热情的人，有时也有些鲁莽和粗心大意。他对于他研究和照看的危险生物的热爱使得他多次受重伤，有时甚至伤及他人。这使他在校任职期间曾经历不下六十二次留任查看（这个纪录至今无人可破）。和继任的海格一样，他在照看类似鸟蛇、格林迪洛和火蜥蜴这样的生物时总是低估可能产生的危险。他有一次给火灰蛇施魔法让它在"好运泉"里演一条蚯蚓，结果使整个大厅都着火了。这件事广为人知（1）。
　　凯特尔伯恩虽然有点古怪，但却可亲可敬，他长期任教的事实也足以证明全校师生对他的喜爱。他退休时至剩下了一条胳膊和半条腿。阿不思·邓布利多在他退休后送了他一整套魔法木制假肢，这份礼物在那之后不得不经常更换，因为凯特尔伯恩习惯在闲暇时间去参观龙保护区，这意味着他的义肢经常会着火。

　　【威尔米娜·格拉普兰】（Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank）
　　格拉普兰教授生于1930年之前，有着灰白色的短发和突出的下巴。她曾在1995年1月海格被丽塔的报道重伤，以及《凤凰社》开头海格奉邓布利多之命离开霍格沃茨后为海格代课，受到一众学生的喜爱。

Silvanus Kettleburn was the Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts until Harry's third year, when he was replaced by Rubeus Hagrid.
Kettleburn was an enthusiastic and occasionally reckless man whose great love of the often dangerous creatures he studied and looked after led to serious injuries to himself and, occasionally, others. This fact led to no fewer than sixty-two periods of probation during his time of employment at the school (a record that still stands). Like Hagrid after him, he was prone to underestimating the risks involved in caring for creatures such as Occamys, Grindylows and Fire Crabs, and once famously caused the Great Hall to catch fire after enchanting an Ashwinder to play the Worm in a play of 'The Fountain of Fair Fortune'.
Kettleburn was a loveable if eccentric man and his continuing employment at the school was evidence of the great affection in which staff and students held him. He finished his career with only one arm and half a leg. Albus Dumbledore presented him with a full set of enchanted wooden limbs on his retirement, a gift that had to be replaced regularly since, because Kettleburn's habit of visiting dragon sanctuaries in his spare time meant that his prosthetics were frequently set on fire.
