At the time of writing this, there are two sets that make up a 'Mini Figure' scale Hogwarts:
75953: Hogwarts Wamping Willow
75954: Hogwarts Great Hall
I have noticed, that on the lower level of the Wamping Willow set there are three rooms, all of which have vaguely potions-related furniture and decorations (One is actually Snape's office). Meanwhile the Great Hall set has two spaces one of which is potions related and the other a store room. Here I am listing classes at Hogwarts and how they can be made in Lego for anyone that wants to refit their Castle with a variety of classes.
Muggle Studies - Proffessor Quirrell
In Harry Potter's first year, he was the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. We know that in the year or years before he was travelling around, which resulted in the whole Voldemort-in-the-back-of-his-head debacle. But before then, did you know he was the muggle studies professor? If you want to bend time a little you can revert him back to his role as muggle studies professor.
The classroom can be made up with chairs for students and a desk or podium for Quirrell, with 'muggle' artifacts dotted around the classroom for good measure. Perhaps, a roller skate to represent a model car. If I remember correctly, electronic items don't work in Hogwarts, so a phone or a tablet might not be a practical display item. In the book they never mention using pens, just quills, so maybe one of those?
Divination - Professor Trelawney
Professor Trelawney is a wonderful mini figure available in this year's Wizarding World collectable Mini Figure Series. Her class is a little to different from the muggle studies in that it might be best served in the rounded rooms of the Great Hall set.
Chairs for students could be placed around the classroom leaving space in the centre for Trelawney, a 2x2 brick atop which sits a crystal ball like the one above (I actually have one embedded with glitter!) if anyone who has this set also has some of the now-defunct Belville sets, specifically 5823: The Good Fairy's Bedroom, those beautiful flower print draws in the blue cupboard strike me as being very 'Trelawney' and could go in the back. Other items you could include would be a tea pot so she can read those all-important tea leaves!
Defence Against the Dark Arts - Professor Lupin
This is based off of his year as the DAtDAs teacher - if we're going to have Quirrell as the muggle studies professor then a little bit of time-turning creativity won't hurt in bringing Remus Lupin to life as the professor of this subject.
His class room can be made with a training doll like that in 41151: Mulan's Training Day (pictured above) which students can practice spells against while Lupin guides them through the process. The famous boggart scene can also be the item that makes up the class room - pictured above is the rather prettily coloured version that comes in 40307: Castle Interior Kit from the 2018 Disney Princess range. You could either use this exact one if you have it or using the design something similar but more Hogwarts appropriate in colour.
Transfiguration - Professor McGonagall
This Mini Figure comes with the Great Hall set - so why not use it? Seeing as transfiguration is changing objects from one thing to another, why not recreate that second year class in which students had to change animals into goblets? (I must admit - I would love a goblet with a scabbers-tail-print on it!)
