Re: What Job?

Harry- DADA teacher (Snape became a teacher one or two years after finishing school besides think of DA he pretty much runs that); bc snape will go back to teaching potions

Hermione- More schooling before marrying Ron

Ron- Probably work for his brothers at the shop or go into the ministry

Draco- Auror because he is actually on the good side

Re: What Job?

The climax of the book will be a massive spell—the last resort to stop Lord Voldemort—that will render everyone in the world a muggle. Harry will get a job in a liquor store. Hermione will go into dentistry. Ron will drive a cab. Draco will sell luxury cars. Neville will become a junkie and be killed in a knife-fight. Hagrid, of course, will go into professional wrestling as the Manchester Mangler.

Re: What Job?

Kinda, yeah. Hard to imagine him doing anything else. After beating Voldy, other magical evil things are going to be a lot less hazardous for him...

Re: What Job?

Interestingly, the last book only mentions Neville's job.

Re: What Job?

I haven't seen that article yet, but here's what I think:

Harry is definitely an Auror for the simple reason that he's wanted to be all along, and it's kind of obvious that JKR wants him to be, too. It's the simple answer, but it's logical.

Hermione, I'm not so sure. In DH, she says that she wants to do some good in the world. That means she'll probably work for some sort of non-profit organization, or possibly many non-profit organizations. As for Ron, I see him in the sort of small-time Ministry job that his father had, if not necessarily one dealing with Muggles.

As for Draco, I actually don't think he's going to have one. Did Lucius have a job, as such? I doubt it. Not that he hung around doing nothing all day, it's just that he had way more than enough money to take care of the family for several generations, centuries even, so he probably spent his time hanging around the upper echelons, putting his money where it would do him and his friends the most good, but without an actual employer. If the wizarding world has a stock market, he might have spent some time on that. But I can't see any of the Malfoys getting their hands dirty in the way a job implies.

Re: What Job?

If you look at the "Wizard of the Month" feature on J.K.Rowling Official Site - Harry Potter and more, it says there -- for 01/10/07 -- that "Harry Potter joined the reshuffled Auror department under Kingsley Shacklebolt at age 17, rising to become Head of said department in 2007" (at the tender age of 27!).


There's also lots of nice information on various famous wizards there, such as Dumbledore being born in 1881.
