Jobs of Harry and the gang

I'm not sure it's right to say that Hermione doesn't understand the intellectual limitations of others - ok, maybe in PS she comes across as pretty patronising, but look at how good she is with Neville, for example. Neville never seems to feel patronised by her but is grateful for the help and sees her as a nicer person because of it (GoF). I think in temperament as a teacher she would be similar to Prof. McGonagall - not someone to cross or mess around with, but sympathetic to those with limited abilities, and able to see the potential in people. She is definitely not a Snape-like character who does withering put-downs on less able students.

I also couldn't see her becoming a Death Eater, then a double agent for the Order. She is becoming more like McGonagall, understanding of others' limitations and all that. I think the point when she saw that the House Elves don't want freedom is a real turning point for her. Up to that point, everyone must join SPEW, and after that she changes her plans to be more subtle. I don't remember her forcing anyone else to join SPEW in OotP. She won't be knitting any more hats, she saw Dobby and probably guessed that he is taking all of them. Eventually she will find a balance between her radicalism and everyone else's views.

I think one of the reasons we don't know what Hermione's career choice is, is because she has alot of choices. She would be very good at anything she chose. I see her like a Secretary of State, the woman behind the President, instrumental in getting laws passed regarding muggle relations, and magical creatures' rights. Sort of the way she acts with Harry and the DA.

Hermione will probably be a healer. Consider some of the foreshadowing... when Harry sits down with McGonagall, she discusses a few options and states that Healer is one of the few professions that requires excellent test results/many OWLS. To quote Wayne'e World, "Hmmm... it seemed extraneous at the time..."

Someone will become a healer and Hermione fits the bill perfectly. It will be a comfortable choice given her family's background (her parents are dentists), it will suit her academic talents (she excels at everything) and most importantly she will view it as a "meaningful" career choice.

Hermione will also be able to bring something unique to the profession because most healers do not have her muggle experience. The wizarding world is starting to embrace an occasional muggle technique (they tried "stitches" on Arthur when nothing else worked) and Hermione will help bridge that gap. Remember when she had to have her teeth shrunk? She discussed how her parents would have preferred to treat her teeth in the traditional way -- they would have frowned on her using magic for that purpose. Yet she went ahead and did it anyway. It shows she will be effective at blending both muggle methodology and the wizarding ways.

I'm not sure it's right to say that Hermione doesn't understand the intellectual limitations of others - ok, maybe in PS she comes across as pretty patronising, but look at how good she is with Neville, for example. Neville never seems to feel patronised by her but is grateful for the help and sees her as a nicer person because of it (GoF).

She is definitely not a Snape-like character who does withering put-downs on less able students.I agree with you, Rosmerta. Hermione is intolerant of people who do not try to live up to their potential and/or people who are lazy or procrastinate (usually Ron and Harry.)

Hermione could want to be a teacher - possibly Defence Against the Dark Arts? That could be why she didn't want to say, because of Umbridge.

Has to be an auror, doesn't it? Hermione - quick thinking (apart from maybe ' There's no wood!') clever, determined and fatastic at every subject. Apart from being a teacher, I think this is the only other career Hermione would be suited to. I we go along the lines of the trio - Harry = auror, Ron = possible auror Hermione = ? An auror too? I hope so...

ok, i think that hermiones job is very importent to the plot.

i think hermione had chosen to be a healer or a writer for the daily prophet or something like that but i think i know why we don't know yet....


i think hermione has thought things through (so have i) and won't tell anyone becuase she doesn't know what will happen in the furture with voldermort and harry.
i think if she is with harry when it is time for the final battle and voldermort goes to kill harry, i think she will jump infront of him and die herself to give him another chance. she is a girl that will do anything for the good of the wizard world and the muggle world and if it comes to it she won't become it since see will be dead.
she knows that someone will be sacreficed and she is willing to be that person.
i think she hasn't told anyone because she is scared that she won't be able to or harry or ron will stop her.

when it comes to it i think she will die and thats what she has chosen to do when she is older for the good of the muggle and wizard world. and if she does live she will be a healer or writer.

i don't think she will be a good teacher becuase she doesn't understand that people aren't as smart as she is and would be a kind-of snape like teacher, institing they know everything and study all the time. but i think she will be understanding for students like neville. i just don't think a teacher fits her personality.

if one, two or all of the trio dies i think it will be her first, that way she doesn't have to see anyone esle die and will be giving harry and ron another chance at voldermort.

sorry that this is a lllllooooonnnnnggggg post but i am trying to get a point across that i don't think anyone else has said it and i'm sorry if someone has.

thanx for reading this (if you have) rochelle

I have to disagree. Remember what she said about being an Auror is not the only worthwile thing. As I said in my last post I really think that Hermione wants to do something that she feels very passionate about.. and that is human (and elf) rights as an Aruor you are given assignments, orders and I gather its alot like being a cop. Would there be time to intellectualize, fight for equality and all that good stuff? I think she would rather work for the good rather than against the bad.

then again here job may just be unimportent to the plot

my last post my be wrong by a long way...LOL

I'm going with the Magical creatures rights crowd, possible outside the Ministry. Her own pressure group - think Amnesty in the magical world

I honestly don't think Hermione has any intention of becoming an auror. Yes, Hermione is quick thinking, it's in her nature. But she's not Harry: she doesn't thrive under that type of stress. Hermione is willing to go into a risky situation if need be (never saw her blink about leading Umbridge into the forest if need be), but in general Hermione is cautious. She doesn't go seeking out trouble, or at least not that sort of trouble. The trouble caused by activism, yes. But being an auror is essentially putting your life on the line all the time, whether or not Harry and Ron realize that. Hermione does see it that way, though she doesn't say so because she doesn't go looking for abuse from her two best friends. She doesn't have an auror's tempermant, though Harry does and I can even see Ron scraping through with it too.

Becoming a Healer is something I hadn't really thought about, though I hadn't thought about it. Give me some time to digest that one.

Teaching is something Hermione would be good at, at least for older kids (NEWT level classes only?), but I don't think it's what she would choose. Unless she starts a school to educate House Elves or something like that. Hermione would have been patronizing once, but she's a highly empathetic and compassionate person (once you get around her intelligence) and she's grown up a lot in the last few books. As people have said, Hermione would be like McGonagall: strict, with high expectations, and not someone to mess with. I actually think Hermione might be a little less brusk as a teacher.

I think something fuzzily in the area of creature rights (Bowtruckle tree protection?) and government may be what Hermione really wants to do. Maybe she's afraid to tell them because of their reaction to SPEW? I don't know.

Since it's been brought up: the question of sacrifice. Unlike Ron, Hermione will have already thought by now of the possibility that she might have to sacrifice herself for Harry. I think she'd do it too, if she thought it was the only thing she could do. However, I think Hermione will be find some loophole or some protective magic she can give to Harry. It's one reason she's so obsessed with the library and with learning DADA really well in particular. I don't think Harry will see it coming. I can see Harry ready to die, accepting his own death as a sacrifice for others (because ultimately it is Harry who will have to accept death, not Hermione. And I think acceptance of death is going to be the key to defeating Voldemort), and Hermione at the last second doing something to protect him, possibly making a living sheild of her own magical potential (I don't know if you can, but if it's possible it would be cool), a shield that will allow Harry to defeat Voldemort, but at the cost of her magic. It would really mean something for the one with the greatest power to give it all up and become no better than a Squib. But maybe if she did so they'd accept her sacrifice and allow her to continue to work/live in the magical world? I dunno. I realize that this is a wild theory. Hermione may never be in a position where she has to make such a choice. But I think we do know that if she ever is, she will be ready to make it (because when is Hermione not ready with an answer?). Sorry this is so dark and that the post as a whole is so looonnng.

In Hermione's case, I have no clue the job she will have. She will however be fantastic at it.

Ron's job will prolly be something in the way or gardening (ya know pushing up daisies).

One thing I would to see Draco do (besides sacrificing himself for Harry in book 7) would be to take over Filch's job as the "janitor" of Hogwarts.

Hermione would probably bcome a teacher, either arithmancy or transfiguration,
Ron, some minestry job, not sure which, but he'll probably end up there

Good conection hermionedancr, i can definately see her as the ministress of magic, or whateva u call a girl minister. She's strong with her ideas and doesn't back down. I also think it would be a good idea if she's Headmistress of Hogwarts

I really think Hermione will take on something that will further her interest in S.P.E.W. . She did mention it in passing but I don't think that Harry and Ron know that she's truly serious about it. JKR did leave us a warning/clue beforehand in book 5 when Hermione said she was considering something with S.P.E.W. . So she just might end up doing something with it. On the other hand, I'm not quite sure what Ron will do. When it comes to him, it could be anything really. Harry will almost definitely become an auror. That's what he would be best at.

It is sad how Hermione has so much potential and she only wants to get SPEW to go further. She really has no ambition -that is why the last place she belongs would be Slytherin. Second place she belongs is Hufflepuff-she is very fair, hard-working, etc. then Ravenclaw. The only place she could never belong is Slytherin. I think Hermione has to find something more realistic than SPEW. Possibly a teacher.

Ron does not try his best and I don't think he will become an auror.

Harry probably has the best chracter traits because he reacts well under pressure.

harmine has not said what she wants to be
but her parents are dentes they are doctors
with this fact it is a resonable concuion that she would
want to fallow in her parents footsteps and become a healer

there has to be a reasn jkr didn't have harry ask her after she had her cerrer
advice meeting with magonagel

Why should Hermione be criticized for doing what she loves, be that S.P.E.W. or whatever else? If that is what she wants to do, then she should do it. She could eventually make a difference in the way house elves are treated. If she doesn't want to be a teacher, why should she be one? For many people, doing what you love is more important than gaining power by having a more prestigious job. That's like saying that someone good at math is wasting their life if they go into the english field, which is certainly not true if that is what he or she wants to do.

I'm going with the Magical creatures rights crowd, possible outside the Ministry. Her own pressure group - think Amnesty in the magical world

Yeah, I kind of thought she sounded like she just wanted a niche in the world to make her views shown to people about creature rights and stuff. I sometimes have to agree with her, but in some cases... I don't know. She could eventually devise a well-thought out, workable plan to freeing house elves with that brain of hers... But I don't think that will happen. She will do something that will show her thoughts, at least that's what I think.

I think Ron will go on top do something in the proffesional quidditch league, not an auror. Once Voldemort is deafeated all that'll be left is a mop-up of his supporters, Plus Ron is always talking about quidditch in the books, perhaps he could take over Ludo's job in th department of sports and work at the ministry at the same time.

Ron - Quidditch, even if not playing, his job will relate to quidditch. Hermione - Healer or teacher.. she will continue her work with Spew.

I think if anyone is going to take over Ludo's job, it should be Lee Jordan, he has had a lot of practice commentating at the school games, he would be pretty good for the job.

what ever H/R/Hr or any in harry's year chose for after shool
will not mater (unless someone(ron for exampel) dosent get the owles thay need)
to the plot of the books they end when harrys time at hogworts ends


so we woun't know what anyone will be tiill we read the book7 epologe
wich will tell us what the serviers due after

hmm......okay just for giggles

Ron will be the keeper for none other........the Chudley Cannons

hermione will be a political figure within the ministry of magic (fighting for equal rights for the underdog)

And our beloved Harry.......I think it is obvious he will be an Auror. Afterall he does have a gift for it doesn't he?

I think that Hermione is going to be a professor or something of Hogwarts. :P Well she is the brightest witch of her age. Ron will do something for Quidditch . I don't know if he will play but he might do something related to Quidditch. If Harry does survive the second war ( which I highly hope he does but JKR said that Harry would survive ) he will be a Auror or do something for in DADA.

I think
Harry=Auror
Ron=Minestry of Magic Department of Sports and Games(if not dead)
Hermonie=Auror or Professor
Draco=Death Eater( and probably dead)

Harry Auror
Hermione Headmaster
Ron Ministery of magic

hmm......okay just for giggles

Ron will be the keeper for none other........the Chudley Cannons

hermione will be a political figure within the ministry of magic (fighting for equal rights for the underdog)

Hermoine: especially the house elves!! She does say she would like to pursue S.P.E.W. further in OOtP!

I think if anyone is going to take over Ludo's job, it should be Lee Jordan, he has had a lot of practice commentating at the school games, he would be pretty good for the job.

Good thought, but what about the joke shop??

I wonder about Neville.... Will he follow in his parents footsteps? Or will he try to help cure and/or help people in his parents state? He has a lot of passion, I wonder how he'll put it to use. And didn't Ron want to be an auror and that's what gave Harry the idea?

Neville will probably turn out to be a Botanist of some sort, as he does love his plants. Either that or he'll be dead :upset:

I see Harry either being an auror, or DADA teacher.
Hermoine I definately see as a Teacher and eventually Head Mistress
Ron, who knows. But I would not be surprised to see him at Hogwarts as well.
All three of them have this unwavering love and loyalty to Hogwarts, it would not surprise me if they all ended up there. Maybe even Neville and Ginny too.

Harry will probably die or leave this world for another--this is sort of referring to the editorial on the veil by BF in the Underground Lake.

Ron thought being an Auror would be neat, but he seems more of a Ministry guy.

Hermione could be a healer or auror, but I am thinking that she's a future Ministeress of Magic (Is ministeress the female for minister?) or Transfiguration teacher.

Neville will take over Sprout's, sorry Professor Sprout's, job. That is if he doesn't die.

hmm...

Hermione - healer is a popular option and I agree. I could also imagine her as a Hogwarts teacher perhaps divination? Haha. Just kidding. Maybe transfiguration? Or maybe a politician and fight for equal rights among all magical creatures.

Ron - I could see him at the Ministry as well but I think he'd be better suited playing Quidditch. Maybe Harry could join him for a while. Ron seems to be a hard one for me to place. I could even see him being an Auror along with Harry.

The Twins - It's kind of obvious but maybe someone else has another career idea. I can't think of any. They're too troublesome to work at the Ministry.

Neville - Herbology teacher or healer.

At some point I could see each member of the Trio (H,R,Hr) at Hogwarts teaching. Maybe not as a first career choice but maybe once they retire from their primary careers? Something like a stand-in teacher like Moody or Lupin. Just a thought. :)

Harry i see becoming an auror or retiring to seclusion from people except for friends. Or both. He's spent a good deal of time in the spotlight. I could see him wanting a career behind the scenes and out of the spotlight. Work in the ministry of some sort comes to mind.

Hermione, though she shows a good deal of book smarts, isn't really one to teach others. Her actions with SPEW and the like makes her apt at politics. She can learn laws and the such and make use of them. As stated a few posts above, she might make a good minister.

Ron, is a difficult person to decide a career for. He hates the fact hes only seen as Harry's best friend at times instead of just Ron Weasly. Yet for the most part he doesn't do much to make the distinction. He's not too gifted in any area. For the most part I'm going to say he is going to continue to follow Harry's lead. Hopefuly he'll do something else.

At least a couple people have said that Ron could become a professional Quidditch player. Thing is that he has not shown nearly that kind of skill so really seeing him as a professional Quidditch player is kinda wishful thinking. However this could change during book 6 and 7 after all Ron is new to playing competitive Quidditch in book 5 so he will almost certainly improve and quite possibly become a solid skilled player like Harry or Wood.

Personally i think Harry will be a DADA teacher...ala Lupin. He showed great apptitude in it from the DA...*shrug*

Hermione will most likely become a professor of sopme sort maybe take over for McGonagall

Ron-Job at the ministry of course...although i'd like to see Ron as an Auror.

Well, I think what we saw with Ron's game skills in book 5 was that he has a lot of raw talent, but also a lot of confidence issues. It looks like he has gotten over those issues to some extent. If he plays consistently well in book 6, then I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we see him getting recruited in book 7. I'd find it very satisfying if Ron got to play pro after spending so much time in Harry's shadow.
Of course, we all know that Harry is the more naturally talented player. But I think he's destined for a career fighting the dark arts (if he lives), and if Ron goes pro I'm sure Harry will be nothing but happy for him.

Plus, even though Ron says he wants to be an Auror, I think he needs to do something different than Harry. If he spends his whole life at Harry's side being the slightly-less-talented one, he'll never really reach his own full potential as a person. He needs to do his own thing.

Here's what JKR has to say on the issue of someone staying on at Hogwarts to teach. If someone posted this a couple hundred posts back, my apologies. From October 12, 1999, JKR in a radio interview:

Anyway, it’s very exciting. We just love Harry Potter. We’re curious ---- well first of all we can’t wait for Books 4, 5, 6 and 7. But after that, we’re curious as to whether Harry is going to have a life after Hogwarts, or if maybe, Harry might be a Hogwarts teacher.

JKR: Well, because all your kids said ‘hello’ so nicely in the background there, I am going to give you information I haven’t given anyone else and I will tell you that one of the characters, one of Harry’s classmates, though it’s not Harry himself, does end up a teacher at Hogwarts. But, it is not, maybe the one you think, hint, hint, hint. Yeah, one of them does end up staying at Hogwarts, but ----

Do the kids want to guess at it, Kathleen?
JKR: Do you guys have a guess as to who it is?
(Kids shouting in background) Ron

They say Ron.
JKR: No, it’s not Ron. I can’t see Ron as a teacher. No way.
Well, we have just been having such a fun time with Harry Potter and we’re so thrilled that you took our call. We’re just all absolute huge fans. Thank you so much. You make our day everyday.

So, it's not Harry, and it's not Ron, and it's not "the one you think" (Hermione). Maybe Neville?

Yes, Neville will become the new potions master. :rotfl:

Yes, Neville will become the new potions master. :rotfl:

:lol:

Good one. But I think Neville would more likely teach herbology since that's the subject he really likes.

What about Lavendar Brown becoming the new Divination teacher? She could dress in flowy shawls and say vague mysterious things, just like her hero, Prof. Trelawney.

On the other hand, maybe Dumbledore will finally eliminate Divination as a subject.

I'm all for Harry as Minister of Magic (Trelawny's prediction...MOM with 12 kids!!!)

I too, see Ron in a Quidditch job, as a player or the in the Ministry.

I see Hermione going into politics (Lobbyist for SPEW) in a Ministry-related job...she doesn't have the patience to be a teacher... 'you're going to put someones eye out...it's leviooosa, not leviosaaaa!' she's too blunt for teaching children...

I also see Neville as the Potions teacher more than Herbology teacher...(yeah he likes Herbology, but Potions is closely linked to Herboloby, and Snape seems to be the reason he dislkes Potions...) Plus Snape's more likely to leave teachinga than Sprout is...

I wouldn't QUITE say that. I agree that 1st and 2nd years would not do well to have her as a teacher, however 3rd years and above should be fine. Basically if she would teach I could only see her teaching a class like Arithmacy or one of the other elective courses.

Hermione - A healer at St. Mungo's, a teacher, or working for the MOM in the "Department of International Magical Cooperation" (she loves to travel)

Harry- An Unspeakable for sure. What better way for Harry to live out his days than solving mysteries.

Ron - Takes Bertha Jorkins old position in the "Department of Magical Games and Sports"

Neville - Dumbledore invents a job ala Hagrid and keeps Neville on as school gardener and Sprout's assistant.

Percy - takes over Argus Filch's job as Hogwarts (when he retires/surrenders).

Ron - Takes Bertha Jorkins old position in the "Department of Magical Games and Sports"


You know, I could actually see this one happening. :agree:

Hermione = Ministry official of some sort or lead SPEW activist

Harry = Auror, DADA Teacher, Quidditch Player, HEadmaster, or Dead

Ron = Maybe he could get Bagman to mention his name to a few team captains...

Lee Jordan = Professional Quidditch Announcer

Ginny = Auror, teacher, Healer

Voldemort = Ballet instructor, stuntman, snake farmer

I think Ron will play Quidditch or work in the ministery. Hermione talks about taking SPEW further but house elves seem like they like to work so it probably wont work. Hermioe probably will teach at Hogwarts or work in the ministery and try to give other species more rights in wizarding society. She seems to take pity on the "little guys".

Hermione is a natural at the Department of Mysteries, I agree. She's already gotten a name for herself by having obtained special permission to use the time turner, so if she took an interest in the job, how many other folks could add that to a resume?

Maybe i'm a bit weird, but i could never see Harry working as an Auror or something like that. He might think he wants to now, but i think his last battle with Voldemort is going to have him shying away from that kind of stuff, even if it's only for a bit. However, i can't see him at a desk job either. Maybe something hands on but not chasing after bad guys?

Hermoine i can see working as an Auror or in the Dept. of Mysteries. She's smart and clever, exactly the traits she'd need.

Ron...another i really don't know...but i can't see him playing Quiddich professonaly either. He might play now, but he's not extremly talented at it.

I do agree with Neville becoming a teacher though.

Hermione will take S.P.E.W. further, or she will go to work for the MOM in a dept. that works for fair treatment of magical creatures.

Ron will become a professional Quidditch player.

Harry will work within the Ministry and eventually become an Auror. Or go to teach DADA at Hogwarts after he gets more life experience :rotfl:

I think Hermione would become a writer she has never writen a essay at the the required langth always alot more beside she is the character JK Rowling has said she is most like and we all know her profesion.

Harry- Auror/Quidditch player

Ron- Ministry Worker/Quiddich Player

Hermione- Activist/Teacher

Assuming that all the characters survive far enough to get jobs:
Harry will be an Auror. JKR has said that he has seen to much to consider a career in academics, so that rules out DADA techer and Headmaster.
Hermione will be the official SPEW founder.
Ron...well I'm not sure what Ron will do. He'll probably go on to play Quidditch. There will be the irony that he absolutely sucks now, but then he'll be like "watch out!"
Fred and George will obviously be the co-owners of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
Neville will be a healer.
Colin Creevy will work for the Daily Prophet as a photographer.
Ginny will be something big, like Auror or Unspeakable.
Luna will follow in her father's footsteps and be editor of The Quibbler.
Malfoy will be so rich he wont have to work, but will take a job at the Ministry just so he can gloat about it.
Crabbe and Goyle will be bodyguards.
Lee Jordan will be the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
Cho Chang will run a tea shop.
Pansy Parkinson will marry Draco and will be so rich she won't have to work. Her job will be to stay home and take care of the little Malfoys.
Seamus Finnigan will open an Irish restaurant/bar called Finnigan's.
That's about all I can think of.

Harry and Ron might get into Auror training and Hermione might take SPEW further as she had said she might in OoTP or I see Hermione as Healer at St. Mungo's.

Harry will likely be an auror. Ron will either join him or be keeper for the Chudley Cannons. Hermione will likely take over as Transfiguration teacher when McGonagall retires someday, or she'll work in the House-elf Reloction office and campaign for their freedom. Or prehaps be a healer at St.Mungo's

Hmmm...

I think Ron will become a Head of Department at the MOM.

Hermione will work for the MOM in the Department for Humane Treatment of Magical Creatures (if there is one if not she will create it)

Harry I think will be a DADA teacher and eventually take DD place a headmaster.

great thread topic.

Harry- I think Harry will definatly become an auror. That is a job he is good at, and wants at the same time. He is good enough in most classes to become one.

Ron- I remember Ron saying he wanted to be an Auror, maybe. But no. I think Ron will work for the Ministry of Magic. Not sure what part of the Ministry, but not something wierd like the guy who has to wiegh wands. I think of him as more of an executive person. Maybe even Secretary or Helper of the Miniter.

Hermione- Hm... this one is hard....ok got it. I picture Hermione using her knowledge wisely in a job. So, I think Hermione will become a hogworts teacher. She knows a heck load of stuff, enough to be standard for a teacher. What teacher you ask? Ancient Ruins... or Herbology? If not a teacher, I would say she would work in either Diagon Alley or Hogsmeed. Diagon Alley as a Quill shop owner or a maker of textbooks for stores. Hogmeed as.. i dont know.

i like the idea of hermione in the department of mysteries. i don't think harry will be an auror, though. it just doesn't seem right for him.

As far as ron, perhaps a position in the department for magical games and sports (his chess ability, his knowledge of broomsticks and his quidditch knowledge/ability probably makes him a shoe in) I see hermione working in the ministry perhaps in the department for the regulation and control of magical creatures (SPEW) and always assuming harry survives he has 3 options the way i see it; professional seeker, unspeakable ( to better understand the veil), and auror of course

Hmm, I think Harry should be an Auror, just because that's what he wants. Maybe that will change when we find out his parents' professions though.

I think he'd be happier being a Seeker, Quidditch is the only time he ever has any fun.

Maybe he could be an Auror and then when he's older become the DADA teacher and eventually headmaster, like Tonks2005 suggested.

I don't see Ron being good enough to get onto the required NEWTs for being an Auror. It's hard enough to imagine Harry getting an O in Potions. I'd guess he'd work for the ministry. I don't see him playing Quidditch professionally, he was barely good enough to manage on the house team and only got on because they couldn't find anyone better. From what JKR has said, he may not even stay on the team.

Hermione could do anything, an Unspeakable would be good.

Neville would be good as an Auror I think, he's getting much more confident and he could follow his parents, but I don't know how he'd get an O in Potions, although Harry mentioned that Neville was doing ok in the exam, away from Snape, so who knows? It seems like they'll need to lower the requirements for Harry anyway.

Don't know Luna well enough to judge really and Ginny has never shown a particular inclination to a career yet.

Not sure what Malfoy will do either. I'm not even sure what his dad did before he went to prison. Just sat around and spent money?

Of course, it all depends who survives 6 and 7.

I think the gang could have many carrers. Here are some ideas.

Harry- auror, qudittch player, defense against the dark Arts teacher

Ron- Ministry, POSSIBLY auror

Hermione- auror, healer, scientist

Luna- dont know long enough

Ginny- ummm.....maybe auror

I cannot see neville as an auror, he may be getting better but he still makes too many mistakes. However, something to do with herbology is a definite possibility.

Neville could be an auror if he keeps improving, a lot can happen in two years. I think Ron will have a job in the Quidditch industry somewhere, he's pretty obsessed with it, maybe a professional seeker if he improves enough. I hope Harry ends up as an auror, because it's what he wants and I hope he gets it. Hermione will probably be a professor, or get another position which involves a lot of brains. Luna, possibly a reporter for the quibbler, she is in Ravenclaw so she must be smart.

Not sure what Malfoy will do either. I'm not even sure what his dad did before he went to prison. Just sat around and spent money?

I believe Lucious (the evil slime that he is... oh sorry I digress) works for the MoM (though I am not sure what the troll... I mean he does). That is how he and Arther Weesly know each other.

Regardless, I think that Malfoy will end up doing something similar in MoM and helping the dark arts flourish in his spare time.

Here are my after school predictions:

Harry:Auror? Quittich player? Pushing up daisies?(God, I hope not!)

Ron:Something in the ministry with his Dad?

Hermione: Some political position? Mrs. Ron Weasley?

Neville: Herbology professor at Hogwarts?

Ginny: Auror? Mrs. Harry Potter?(Hope so!)

Luna: Editor of the Quibbler?

Draco Malfoy: Performing in the circus as "The amazing bouncing Ferret?"LOL

Pansy Parkinson: Mrs. Draco Malfoy?

That's about all I've got at the moment.

I would say that Harry will might become a DADA teacher, or an Auror. Hermione might become an Auror or a teacher, maybe she'll keep working on S.P.E.W.? Ron will probably do something in the ministry. Neville, I think, will work with plants somewhere. Maybe at Hogwarts. Malfoy might become a professor (maybe take over Snape? nah) or work at the ministry.

"One of Harry's classmates ends up teaching at Hogwarts, and it is not Ron."-JKR
I was thinking that this could either be Hermione or Neville. I think that it will probably be Neville teaching Herbology because thats his favorite subject and all. Plus its not like Neville is exactly wonderful in any of his other subjects, i mean what other job would he be good at? I think Harry and Ron will be aurors, but Ron could be in the ministry work, maybe even Minister of Magic. There even could be a possibility of one of the two being on a quidditch team, but I dunno. Hermione is the most difficult to figure out. Maybe SHE would be the Minister of Magic. Or a librarian since she loves books so much. Several people have said she would be a healer, and I thought that too but I'm pretty sure in book five she suprisingly said she didn't want to be a healer.

interesting... i think Harry would probably be an auror. hermione... i can see her carring on with spew, but she will still have to make a living. maybe a professor??
as for ron, i really can't think of a job that would suit him... yet. now i'll have to go and ponder that for a while....

Hmm...
Harry: would love to see him as a Quidditch player, otherwise maybe Auror, then DADA teacher
Ron: Something not so important, a ministry member
Hermione: I hope it doesn't involve S.P.E.W (when will she get the hint) Maybe Minister of Magic when older, or Headmisstress, healer
Neville: Herbiology teacher
Ginny: Auror
Luna: something with Quibbler, or with strange creatures

In book four, Moody (aka Crouch Jr.) said that both Harry and Hermione would make good Aurors, and Ron seemed really excited that they could all be Aurors...but who knows what will happen with all of them.
I don't know if Ron could do this job. Does he have good enough grades?

Hey,
I think Harry will most defrenitly become an Auror. Ron and Hermione though... Acktually I think there going to become Auror's with Harry to. Hemione might make a good Mistress of Magic when she gets older of corse. And I very much doute Ron will become a professional Quidditch player.

~Luv Nikki~

I really see Harry playing professional quiditich. He truly loves the game and after the 2nd year is over he may be so tired of saving the world yet again that he could decide to play the sport instead of being an Auror.

Ron may go on to be an Auror or maybe even the Minister of Magic, he could be great you know!

Hermione is most likely going to be some kind of lobbyist for elf rights. She may even become involved in politics at the elected level. I wonder if wizards have a representive body like the House of Lords or Commons?

Neville is going to be the Herbology professor, head of Gryffindor house, and then Headmaster of Hogwarts! Great things are in store for Neville! :cool:

Harry's Demolition - If I can't break it, nobody can!
Ron's Used Sweater Imporium - We beat the pants off of the Good Will
Hermoine's - Magical Dentistry And Hair Salon!

Adding to my list:
Neville - Longbottom Gym: From Zero to Hero!
Luna - Minister of magic! Vote Lovegood, there have been far quirkier politicians in office.
Ginny - Head of her own business in the growing industry of matchmaking personal ads. "Dear Diary"
Cho - Actress in many plays, winning acclaim for her roles in the great tragedies.
Draco - Used broom dealership salesman.

Ron should be head of Magical Games and Sports. He loves Quiditch and chess.

I've already said my ideas for the trio. As for the lesser trio, Luna will likely take over as editor of The Quibber when her father retires. Neville might become an auor, or he could be Herbology teacher. As for Ginny, she might be chaser for a Quidditch team, or possibly an auror. Or just something fun that appeals to her interests.

Harry wants to be an auror but he might not be able to if he didnt pass his potions OWL. So maybe he could play Quiditch professionally.
Hermione could probably so just about anything that she wanted to. In the fourth book, Moody says that Hermione would also make a good Auror. So maybe she'll do that. Or maybe she'll try and do some more with SPEW and house elf rights.
Ron... well, maybe he'll improve in Quiditch... And then he could go and play for his favorite team. I really have no clue about Ron.

i think that the job that hermoine will pick is going to be a teacher and she will be like mcgonagall ron will most likely be working in the ministry of magic

My guesses for the careers of the character (even though it all depends on whether they live or not. :sigh: )

Harry might become an auror because I don't think he will ever get rid of that Hero-of-the-day syndrome. If he survives, I'm sure that he will pick a profession where he can help as many people as possible. It could be by hunting dark wizards as an auror or teaching students about the magical arts at Hogwarts.

Ron might be a variety of things, but he has to enjoy it if he wants to be skilled at it. He may get a position at the ministry, just like his father. I can't really imagine him playing professional quidditch. I can, however, see him as a commentor or a coach for the Chudley Cannons, perhaps?

Hermione... hmm.. I have a feeling that Hermione might become an auror because of her excellent research skills, dedication to her work, vast knowledge of a wise variety of subjects, and her wonderful abilities as a wizard. Nobody would dare to turn her away from whatever career she wants.

~Sinc

Harry: Auror

Hermione: Teacher

Ron: Unemployed... Kidding. Er... Joke Business w/ Fred and George

Ron: Pro Quidditch Player Ronald Bilius Weasley has led the world-famous Chudley Cannons into yet another stunning victory!

Hermione: Creature Rights Activist I have a dream, that one day, little house-elf boys and house-elf girls will be able to join hands with little witches and wizards and walk together as brothers and sisters.

Harry...I dunno.

Hermione: Teacher -- any subject at all, any level. Or private tutor. Or Department of Mysteries Unspeakable.
Neville: Field Researcher for magical plants, opens his own greenhouse and nursery.
Harry: Auror, professional Quiddich player.
Ron: Waterboy for the Chudley Cannons
Ginny: Owner of a Magical Pet Store, breeder of cats and Kneazles.
Luna: Takes over The Quibbler.

Harry will probably become an Auror (will there be another Dark Lord, or Dark group after Voldemort to fight against? - Probably), Ron will likely follow his father into the Ministery of Magic or become an Auror, and I think Hermione will work to rewrite laws governing what non-human magical beings can and can't do, as she's developed quite the social conscience!

Harry: An auror and maybe in later years he could be Headmaster.

Ron: Maybe a coach or a job in the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione: Maybe something in the Ministry of Magic that has to do with species rights. Maybe somewhere in the law section.

Neville: Herbology teacher.

Ginny: Maybe a teacher.

Luna: A seer or an Unspeakable

Dean: Maybe Astrology teacher.

Draco: A Death Eater (just kidding.) Maybe an executior or a Potions teacher.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Harry: Auror or teacher if he survives that long
Ron: Auror
Hermione: Something to do with House Elves
Neville: Healer unless he screwed up his OWLs
Luna: No idea
Ginny: Something to do with Quidditch

Harry: professional seeker
Ron: professional keeper
Hermione: first head of the first all inclusive department for creature rights in the MoM
Neville: herbology teacher or owner of a herb shop
Luna: unspeakable
Ginny: auror

Luna - take over the Quibbler
Malfoy - hmm... If Voldemort dies (I said if) will there still be death eaters? cause I think that dear old Draco might follow in his father's footsteps and become one. If not, something equally as evil.
Neville - Herbology teacher

Is it just me, or does the fact that Ron and Hermione haven't speculated as to their careers yet seem like foreshadowing? Like they're not going to make it. :sad: I know they both choose their career paths in HBP, but still.

I think Harry is going to be an auror or Headmaster. Ummmmmm.... I think HErmione will work in the Deparment of Caring for magical Creatures or something. I dont know what Ron will be... Maybe Harry's sidekick??

I really like the idea of Neville having something to do with herbology in the future. He could open a herbal shop or be a teacher.
I think Hermione should be an Unspeakable. She is really smart and would do the job well. She wouldn't let anyone manipulate he into telling the secrets of the department.
Harry should become an Auror, then Headmaster to Hogwarts. I, like Dumbledore, find this job more respectable and important than any others.
I would love Ron to become an Auror too - to meet Harry's levels - but he hardly ever said anything about his future plans for me to even consider it.

Assuming they all live through the books...which, however much I try to convince myself, I don't think is possible :sad:
I get a funny feeling that Hermione may become a healer. Although she had not really considered being an auror, she never fails to surprise us, does she? And if the houseelf problem isn't solved by the end of the series, she may carry on with SPEW along with whatever else she's doing.
Ron is kind of tricky. Many say he'll pursue pro quidditch, but somehow I don't think so. I may be wrong, ofcourse. Even the ministry guy image doesn't suit him, but who knows? I am really confused. If he has to become an auror, he'll need to work extremely hard.Hmmm...
Like many others, I too feel Neville will become Herbology teacher at Hogwarts, but that means Sprout has to go. He may become an auror like his parents (needs to improve a lot) or a healer in the Dept. of Spell Damage or something to heal people affected with problems like that of his parents'.
As for Harry, he could become an auror because he has expressed this desire so many times. He has great potential as a pro seeker too, but it just doesn't have the same impact as an auror, if you know what I mean.

I think Hermione will end up as the Transfiguration teacher. First, Hermione says, "I'm particularly interested in Transfiguration." and there are her constant comparisons to McGonagall. McGonagall's post will be open if Dumbledore dies, as she is Deputy Headmistress. Also, I think Harry will end up as the DADA teacher. He wants to be an Auror, but face it, his potions aren't going to hold up. He does do a great job teaching the DA, though. As for Ron, he actually says, "It'll be good practice for when we're all Aurors." I don't think he'll make it as one. If he's smart, he'll go into business with his brothers.

If Harry survives the series, I think he'd be a shoo-in for Auror no matter what his potions grade. Let's think about this for a second... he'd be the vanquisher of the worst dark wizard who ever lived. How could the Ministry possibly turn that down? Even if he wasn't an official Auror, he'd be the go-to guy for handling any other dark wizard who gave the Aurors a challenge.

Hermione would make a great Unspeakable, but I think she'd succeed McGonagall in her job and do creatures' rights work on the side.

Ron, depending on his role in taking down Voldy may or may not get to be an Auror. I don't know if he could make it on grades alone (he's almost as bad as Harry in potions), but if he kicked sufficient dark wizard butt in the final battle, he could probably make it on proven ability. Otherwise, I see him going into the Ministry with his Dad or tagging along with any of his other brothers (save Percy). Ginny will be the one who plays for the Cannons :-P

Luna would definitely go work for the Quibbler.

Neville, I believe, would probably be an Auror. I see him really shaping up in the final two years and salvaging his grades enough to become one. With enough confidence in himself and motivation to avenge his parents, I think he'd have enough drive to make the bar. I mean, if Tonks could do it...

Hmmmm.....predictions predictions. Alright let's see what I can come up with off the top of my head.

Harry-Auror hands down. It's the only career he's ever considered so unless he dies (which I doubt) he'll be an Auror. They'd be crazy not to take him if he defeated Voldemort.

Ron-An interesting puzzle. He wants to be an Auror, but I almost get the feeling he's to nice for it, ya know? But he definately has potential and lots of it. He just needs to step it up a bit and work abit harder and he'll be golden.

Hermione-Not an Auror, that's for sure. I can see her going into the Ministry to work towards equality for all magical beings. Although she doesn't seem like the type who'd be totally satisfied with a desk job, she'd want to p[hysically do something. She's very bright, hard working and will definately go places.

Ginny-I'm gonna agree with SoulFire and say pro-Quidditch. She'll do something to put herself in the spotlight I think.

Neville-He's really big on Herbology and I can see him going places with that. I would say healing but Potions is a little sketchy. Maybe he'll be the Herbology Professor or something. Or maybe he'll be an Auror like his parents, but I somehow doubt it. I think he'd maybe try healing so that he could help his parents regain their former selves.

Luna-Definately will go off on wild goose chases and most likely discover some strange new magical creature in the process. She's quite the character and definately a fun one. :)

Well, everyone has said what harry, ron, and hermione are going to be, so I will take a guess at the rest of the six.

Neville - I doubt he will be a Herbology teacher, I am thinking either Auror or ... um... healer...? Nah, he would never get the required grades...

Ginny - Either Jokeshop w/ Gred and Forge :P or a writer for the Daily Prophet. She is good at lying, and could replace Rita Skeeter!

Luna - .... hmmm .... :| ... Either publisher of the Quibbler, or doing something at the MoM.

i think (or hope!) that they will somehow start something up together, kind of like what Fred and George did. i really hope they stick together!

Harry- He should be an Auror. The MoM would be stupid not to hire him if he defeats Voldy. Plus he seems to be really passionate about Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Ron- He's not necessarily good or bad at one particular thing. I guess he could be a keeper for some unknown quidditch team. He might have some hidden talent that we have not seen yet. Note: I don't consider Ron the reason Gryffindor won. Ginny was the reason they won in my opinion.

Hermione- She's probably going to become an activist for the rights of magical creatures and half-wizards.

Ginny- For some reason I think she's going to be a healer. Not really sure why I think that, but it seems to stick out in my mind.

Neville- With this new boost in confidence shown in OTP, I think he would be an excellent Auror. He needs alot more practice, but he definitely has the heart an determination.

Luna- She's going to make millions after she shows everyone proof the Crumple-Horned Snorlack exist :rotfl:.

Harry- dead

Ron- auror or something relating to Muggles

Hermione- reserch or teaching

Neville- ministry employee, probably pretty high up

Luna- Quibbler writer, or some kind of inventor

Ginny- I hope she dies. If she doesn't... Daily Prophet or some kind of entreprenuer

This is wat i think will end up happening to our characters

Harry-Auror
Ron-Ministry worker
Hermione-School teacher

But JK said that the one who went on to work at Hogwarts (teaching) would be someone we wouldn't think of. Everyone automatically thinks it's Hermione, so therefore she wouldn't be it. My guess is the Neville will be the teacher. He's always been good at herbology . . .

As much as I hate to agree, I think Harry will most likely die in the final battle. (I know, I know, :upset: ) But I think Voldie will die with him, so it's almost all good, right?

Hermoine I could see as whatever she wanted to be -- which she probably doesn't know yet. Maybe something with SPEW? I wouldn't think so, but with Hermoine's talent - she could be whatever she wanted to be.

Ron -- I can't think of what Ron could be. He wouldn't want to do anything that his family is already involved in - he's hated being "Charlie's/Bill's little brother enough that he would never want to be mixed up with them ever again. I can see him as an Auror - he just needs to keep his grades up . . .

Who said that Ron and/or Hermonie will survive to grow up and have a job hmmmmmmm? I think that the trio will not remain in the last book, someone has to go.
