Divination: My go-to real life parallel would be something like tarot reading. If we're talking about school subjects, I'd go for Psychoanalysis.

Charms: Physics. It may be a bit of a stretch, but I see Charms as a foundational science the same way Physics is one.

Transfiguration: Materials Science or Visual Arts (sculpture making in particular).

I agree with @thegestaltprince on the rest with the small correction that Ancient Runes is the equivalent of Classical Languages or even Mathematical Linguistics.
