Jobs of Harry and the gang

[Carbito]

We all know Harry wants to become a Auror but does it ever say in the book what jobs Ron and Hermione want to get once they leave Hogwarts? If not what do you think they will become?

[Llopin]

Ron will probably end up at the Ministry, or at least that's what I think. I'm not sure about Hermione though, she could do a lot of jobs.

[Europa]

I think Hermione might become a Healer or something. I agree with Llopin, I think Ron will work for the Ministry.

[Jinxie Cat]

In the chapter called: Career Advice, I think it was Ron who asked what everyone wanted to be. No one gave a definite answer. Hermione, Ron and Harry were all looking at different pamphlets and brochures but no one sounds very sure about what they want to be.

[DWeasley]

I really don't know, but I still think that Ron has a lot of potential in Quidditch. He loves it so much, and was doing better without his brother's breathing down his neck. Perhaps he will go professional some day.

Hermione, who knows, she could do just about anything.

[keskin_snape]

I reckon Hermione could make a good teacher [probably won't be much different than McGonagall]. Ron however...I have no idea. His skills lie in chess,... and even quidditch to some point. Maybe he'll work for his Dad as the minister for wizarding chess? just kidding. Honestly I have no idea at all. Have to wait and see...
But I like the idea of Hermione being a teacher, she seems the kind of person who would enjoy teaching.

[kenji_cat]

I thought of Hermione being a healer as soon as they went to the wizard hospital. It was just something I can imagine her doing, fixing up where people had done incorrect spells to them selves

[xxquixx]

for hermione - i hope she becomes an Arithmancy teacher at Hogwarts, for ron - would replace his father at the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts (when his father becomes Minister), Harry - auror of course, i would like to add neville - replace Professor Sprout

[Ame]

Hermione - anything she wants to be. But a political job of some type seems best. I think she would be good for a high ranking job at the Ministry. She's good at solving things... maybe in the Department of Mysteries.

Ron - it has to be something he can enjoy or he'll hate it! Maybe Qudditch, will be his thing. And chess may suggest his skill at strategy. So, a Qudditch player may be his thing. He certainly has a talent and a passion for it. Maybe a military strategis for the Wizarding World - that's an Auror isn't it? Oh, I don't know I'm thinking of things of the top of my head.

Harry - Auror. Seems like the only job he'd be good for.

Neville - Healer, with an emphasis on herbal remedies. Or Herbology teacher for Hogwarts.

[moon_lit_raven]

i think hermione would be good as a healer or in the department of mysteries cause she's good at solving things.

I think ron will either join harry in becoming and auror or a quidditch player cause he does like even if he isn't good at it maybe he'll jion the chudley canons!!

Harry will become an auror thats all he thinks about being, he doesn't even look at the other panflets

I think nevillie may become a teacher of herbology at the school, or maybe follow his parents and become an auror aswell, cause he is getting better at jinxes and things.

[AutumnCro]

I just read some where last night that Ron wants to be an auror so he's probably going to take the same classes as Harry again.

Hermione I think will probably do something like make SPEW full scale or something.

[JenJen]

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.

[Ollivander]

I think Ron and Hermione will end up being Aurors w/ Harry.. that is the best job in the magical world.. thats what i would do.. oh and if i had Hermione as a teacher, i would shoot myself

[familiar]

Ron and Harry will probably become aurors, and Hermione will have a political office so she can campaign for half-human rights. She might also find a voice as a journalist for the Daily Prophet. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Neville will become an auror as well (I think the 5th year had a huge impact on him and he has changed quite a bit). I'm more curious about how he did in the potions OWL than Harry - without Snape to glare at him he might just get a good score. I kind of think Ginny might join her brothers in their joke shop.

Except Barty Crouch never mentioned Ron as suitable for being an auror.

[JenJen]

Yeah...but Ron would probably make a good Auror anyway :)

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

If there aren't nonprofit or lobbying organizations in the wizarding world, I think there will be when Hermione starts working. It'd be the most direct way for her to carry out her house elf rights crusade. Of course, if they've been emancipated by then, the Ministry might put her in charge of a new department to help them.

Ron does seem headed for the Ministry track. Before this book, I wanted Hermione to be Minister of Magic, but now I think I'd almost like to see him get it more, just to show up Percy.

[FawkesBox]

I agree. Ron is problematic. I just don't see him going into the MoM. Perhaps he will play Quidditch for the Chudley Cannons. Maybe they will finally win a game.

[jmk623]

I see Hermione carrying on the SPEW further. She seem really interested in promoting the underdog. She might manage to be in the Minisry as some sort for better treatment of magical creatures. Ron, I don't really see his future. He seems OK at Quidditch, great at chess but so-so in his subjects. Dunno....maybe a Quidditch player?? But I won't lean on that one. As for Harry, I think he'd be a terrific Auror. He definetly has the skills and courage and brains for it.

[rikuownsyou]

I have no idea but maybe Ron would be in Qudoritch more and stuff and Hermione said that she wanted to try and take the spew thing further and Harry said a auror for himself. One of them might find a way into the ministry jobs and have a good job their but I belive a auror is and could be considerd one of a ministry job.

[Quidditch Capt.]

I think Ron is going to play Quidditch. He has his confidence now and will only get better with time. I beleive that Harry and Hermione will both become aurors, like Mr. and Mrs Longbottom were Aurors together ;-)

[Inkwolf]

I have no clue for Ron, but I feel certain that Hermione will be looking at a post in the Ministry in a department for dealing with non-human beings, and trying to improve the equality of house-elves, centaurs, giants and other creatures.

[trev2023]

*darkly* Well, everyones assuming that they wil live to be adults and get jobs */darkly*

honestly though i think that all three of them will become aurors, except maybe hermione will start some new department at the MoM regarding SPEW and everything

[Europa]

trev2023 has a good point. We know that Nevillie won't live, unless Harry is the one who gets killed. Now that I think about it, Ron, Harry and Hermione aren't exactly pro-Ministry in this book, does anyone think that after the experiences they've had with it they'll want to join? But I could definately see Harry as an Auror. But Ron couldn't play if he was under pressure, so I don't see him as a Quidditch player. Harry could be a Seeker, has everyone ruled him out for Quidditch?

[Sirius83]

Harry and Hermione may both become Aurors - i think Moody...well, Crouch's words could have been forshadowing. Hermione may take S.P.E.W. on further but she would still need a career...so yeah, i think they may both become Aurors. Ron...i don't know, he's a problem. A Ministry job perhaps, or maybe professional Quidditch if he gets good enough.

[Perdita]

During chapter 29, Careers Advice, Prof. McGonagall was describing the courses you need to excel at in order to be accepted for Auror training. Hermione excels at all the courses that Prof. McGonagall mentioned, including DADA, potions, transfiguration and charms.

I think this sets up Hermione very nicely for a future as an Auror.

She might make a good teacher, but she seems to love adventure and mystery a lot. Being an Auror would allow her to use her skills to the farthest degree.

[animagus1369]

Harry will become an Auror.

Hermione (who said she doesn't want to be an Auror, if I'm remembering right) will end up at the Ministry. Hard to say, though, as there's not a single class she's not good at (possible exception of Divination--I'll bet a sack of galleons she won't be a Seer. LOL)

Neville will become professor or Herbology at Hogwarts.

Ron, sorry to say, IMHO isn't going to make it through.

[Quidditch Capt.]

I don't think that she ever said she didn't want to become an Auror. She hasn't showed as much interest in it as Harry or Ron. However, I agree that she does have an adventurous side, and that after all this fighting death eaters she will realize that she has great skills in this area, and will feel a responsability to the wizarding world to use it in becoming an Auror.

[Ollivander]

i do not think ron is going to play quidditch pro... he started as a 5th year.. and he isnt very good.. harry has a way better chance... however i think he is going to die when voldemort kills him in book 7... JKR is hitting to that so much its worrying me..

[animagus1369]

Here's what I was going off of: (US version p228):

"Well, it'd be cool to be an Auror," said Ron in an offhand voice.
"Yeah, it would," said Harry fervently.
"But they're, like, the elite," said Ron. "You've got to be really good. What about you, Hermione?"
"I don't know," said Hermione. "I think I'd really like to do something worthwhile."

IMHO that means that she doesn't see being an Auror as the most worthwhile thing she could do. I think it would be silly for JKR to have brought SPEW into things so heavily without having a purpose, and I think that's what Hermione's going to end up working with, somehow.

[Arissya_00]

How do you know they will make it to adulthood??

well if they do HArry definately an auror, Ron, some kinda quidditch player, and Hermione, she could be part of the ministry

[Mutant for Hire]

The problem is that one requires a certain amount of diplomatic and political skill to get anything done in the Ministry of Magic. Hermione means well but she tends to rub people the wrong way. Outside of her immediate circle of friends she isn't all that popular. She impresses, even scares people with her magical abilities, but on the whole she is not terribly well liked. Popularity counts a lot more in politics.

My feeling is that Ron would do far better in the Ministry despite his case of foot in mouth disease, which he'll probably end up outgrowing as he matures. Of course with Ron in the Ministry, Hermione might ask him to push through the legislation she drafts up. One of the reasons I'm in favor of a Ron/Hermione pairing is that with Hermione backing him, I can see Ron making it all the way up to Minister of Magic, which she would be in favor of as it would give her the ability to push through legislation on non-human creatures and Muggles.

Hermione is brilliant, but the fact of the matter is that she's not all that good on selling ideas. Ron has shown occasional flashes of diplomatic ability. He mollifies Hermione when she threatens to withhold her History of Magic notes. And of course he and Harry do well in Diviniation because of their mastery of telling their teacher what she wants to hear. And interestingly enough, he's the one who senses Harry's reservations about asking Cho out when Hermione doesn't see it. Of course his calling the first years midgets and a few other abuses of Prefect power indicate he's got a bit of maturing to do first. But then he was only fifteen and hopefully he'll improve as he gets older.

Ron wants to be an Auror because they're cool and elite, but I doubt he's going to get enough OWLs to continue on and get enough NEWTs to be an Auror. So he'll be resigned to a Ministry job like his dad and Percy. However I think he'll do better than Percy because he's far more likable. And of course Ron will have the brilliance of Hermione backing him.

Hermione is likely to become a profesor at Hogwarts in time. She is a brilliant magician after all, technically. However I don't see her becoming an auror. She has already said she'd rather do something worthwhile. There is also the fact that she doesn't do as well under pressure as Harry does. She admitted he beat her in their final exam third year. She knows her limitations and would rather focus on something else.

Harry I see having a distinguished career as an Auror, and then retiring to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts (and manage to survive for longer than a year) and in time becoming headmaster.

Neville might well become a professor of herbology. Luna will take over her father's job as editor of the Quibbler someday. Ginny strikes me as the type who might be interested in becoming an Auror, after her scarring experience her first year at Hogwarts.

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

I don't know, Mutant for Hire--I find something deeply distasteful about the idea of Hermione as the "power behind the throne." I'd rather see each of them succeed on their own terms, or at least with mutual and open respect (if not support) for each other's goals.

[Quidditch Capt.]

Your right, she did say that, I had forgot. However, don't you think that after what she and her friends have just been through that her tune may change as to how imprtant it is??? She seems to be really good at it too, she was really giving it to those DEs huh?

[animagus1369]

I don't know. I think there are a lot of things Hermione's good at, and while she'll do them, she wouldn't want to make them a career. She seems to me to be the one of the trio who lives most by her principles, and I can't see her tossing SPEW aside once the war is over. Not, of course, that I see her parading around for House Elf Rights while there's a war going on; I'm talking about after school (which is, I'm assuming, at the end of the war as well).

[Rosie B.]

I think Ron will really want to be an Auror. We just have to see if his grades agree with that concept.


What do you think Malfoy's career counciling was like?

Snape: Are you intrested in anything in particular Draco?

Malfoy: A death eater.

Snape: Wouldn't you be interested in a job at the Ministry?

Malfoy: No.

Snape: Well then, keep up the good work Draco.

:devil:

[Arissya_00]

ah hahaha Rosie, I bet that's how it went!

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

Draco's response was probably more along the lines of: "Work? Who needs to work? I'll just inherit my father's fortune and continue his--*ahem*--charitable works."

I wonder if Snape even bothered.

[Arissya_00]

Well, looks like Draco's "future" has been blasted to smithereens, now that Lucius is in Azkaban.

[Grace Granger]

Well if Harry wants to be an Auror fine, but I'd like for him to lead a normal life if he survives. Living a life of danger is not what I'd hope for for Harry.

Hermione, I haven't got a clue. Mutant is right in that she does gets nervous under pressure and Animagus said she's good by following her principles, but I have to admit Hermione is the only one who constantly surprises us by actions and decisions she makes that are quite un-Hermione-ish. So who knows.

Ron, haven't got a clue either. I hardly wonder what he'll want to do just Hermione. :p

[Hawk 92]

Ron- I can see Ron becoming a writer of sorts. He has a good sense of humor, a fair amount of imagination, and a certain way of telling stories. After all he was telling a thrilling tale of capture and heroics after the second task in Gof.

Hermione- I think that she'll have a lot of options open to her as I think she'll get a record number of OWLS. But as JKR was a teacher and Hermione has a little bit of JKR I can see her being a teacher and later Headmistress of Hogwarts. Besides one can combat ignorance and prejudice through education as well.

Harry- I think that he'll be the last DADA teacher in the epilogue of Book 7. I saw that he was enjoying teaching the others in the DA this year. And I think that now that he has a taste of it he'll want to continue teaching. It would also explain why DADA teachers get bumped off at the end of the books. Current book 7 DADA gets bumped off, Epilogue to the books Let me introduce you to your new DADA Harry Potter.

Cheers!

[Eva]

I think Harry will definitely become an Auror--that's practically a given.

I agree that Hermione will become a teacher at Hogwarts, but I think that Dumbledore will get killed (that's a whole nother theory, though), McGonagall will become Headmistress, and then Hermione will become the Transfiguration teacher and eventually the Headmistress (that's three Transfiguration teachers in a row becoming Head, though--might be a little overkill).

I've always kind of wondered about Ron, but now that I think about it he would be an excellent Quidditch captain, since he's so good at strategy. Maybe Harry will sustain an injury that will stop him from playing Quidditch and Ron will kind of take over as the excellent player.

Neville will definitely become a Healer--he's good at Herbology and after his parents, he's going to want to be able to help people who are hurt like that. The only thing is that Healers need loads of OWLs, which Neville might have trouble getting. I can see him kind of experiencing a turnaround, though, and becoming really good at classes.

I have no real ideas about Ginny, except that since she idolizes Bill, she might follow him and work at Gringotts.

[tizzy weasley]

I would think Ron would become an Auror or part of the Ministry some how. Hermione might go into something that we would never think of, like something that Bill or Charlie do. Harry, I'm not sure. I still would have to think about what he would do.

[remusjlupin1980]

I'm currently developing an idea for a Harry Potter TV series that takes place 10 years after the events of Book 7. Harry, Ron and Hermione open up a kind of private investigations office branch for the Ministry of Magic. This office is open to both wizards and Muggles with problems involving magic. Their job is to ensure the secrecy of the magical world and protecting wizards and Muggles from each other by solving cases using both magic and Muggle technology. Joining them is a newly divorced Dudley who had to take the job so he can take care of his 5 year old daughter who happens to be a magical child. I know, I know. It sounds silly but it's an idea. LOL.

[haycheng]

I believe Hermione want to take Spew a step further. Therfore, she may interested in a post in ministry of magic in the magical creature department.

[Quidditch Capt.]

I think that Hermione may finally realize that Spew is stupid and that fighting for the rights of somone who doesn't want any is pointless. Then we can all be saved from hearing about it anymore :-)

[Lauren Strohfeldt]

hermione will probably become headmaster for hogwarts

[Raven]

I think the SPEW thing is a way of showing how much Hermione needs to grow up. Eventually she will figure out that House Elves don't want to be freed. She's a smart girl. She's just making a mistake that people (her age and older) have made throughout history. She's assuming that the people she is trying to help need her help and will benifit from it whether they like it or not.

Read up on the Progressive Era in American History...I really don't have the attention span to try and type out a long winded example.

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

I think Dumbledore's concurred with Hermione too many times--he tries to pay his house elves and give them greater liberty than even they want, he felt Sirius should have shown Kreacher a little more kindness, etc.--for her to be completely off-base on the subject. Rowling's said she uses both of them when she wants to make a point about something, so if they're both saying that the status quo for house elves isn't good enough, we ought to pay attention.

But that's a separate thread.

[Turambar]

I agree, Rowena, that Hermione shouldn't become a "power behind the throne" and I don't think she will be. Especially not with Ron because she's always been the more talented of the two. If they are going to be put together they should both have good careers.
I think OOTP in comparison with GOF showed Hermione calmer, gaining a bit of leadership experience and showing subtle planning ability. So I don't see why she couldn't go into the ministry and eventually be Minister for Magic. She could work on legislating on behalf of half-humans.
I think Harry enjoyed the teaching role with the DA so I could see him becoming a teacher and headmaster if the auror idea doesn't work out.
Ron will have to become consistently good at quidditch to be a pro-player. But working for the ministry sounds a bit too conventional.

[shelly_potter]

ron: i don't think he has the potential to become an auror.
I think he 'll work for the ministry and maybe become minister for magic. who knows ?

hermione:I think she'll become a journalist and start her own paper and work for spreading awareness about SPEW.
But i personally think she should be an auror or join the department of mysteries.

harry:An auror ofcourse ! or a dada teacher.

ginny: A DADA teacher ???

neville: A healer or herbology teacher.

[Delirium]

Harry- He probably becomes an auror afterall somebody is needed to straighten out the organization seeng how they are practically incompetent getting knocked out by everyone from Dumbldore to Hagrid of all peopes.

Hermione-Auror since I think the whole issue with SPEW is going to be settled in books 6 or 7 and she helped set up Dumbledore's army.

Ron-Quidditch player. He has shown in that last game with Ravenclaw that he has the making of a great quidditch player.

Neville-Probably another auror following in his parents' footsteps.

Luna-A writer.

Maybe it's just my Dumbledore-is-the-coolest fixation, but I don't think that a bunch of Aurors getting knocked out by Dumbledore is exactly something they should be ashamed of. In my opinion, there aren't many people in the Wizarding World who could take on Dumbledore and win, even in groups.

Hagrid, though, is another factor. I like to think that the reason they got knocked out by Hagrid is that they didn't want to be arresting him in the first place. Too, Hagrid is half-giant, and giants appear to be particularly resistant to Stunning. (I think I remember that being in the book somewhere, but I could be wrong.)

Still, it would be very cool for Harry to end up as an Auror, if only to prove Umbridge wrong yet again. :)

Except it was Dawlish, the one loyal to fudge, not Shacklebolt who came to arrest Hagrid. Also the display of cowardice by Dawlish's partner and his attempt at running away just shows you how the quality of the auror have gone down.


Too, Hagrid is half-giant, and giants appear to be particularly resistant to Stunning. (I think I remember that being in the book somewhere, but I could be wrong.)


There are other ways of arresting Hagrid besides stunning such as binding him. The fact that they didn't think of using other methods also goes to show their incompetence.

[M a r v o l o]

Based on the OWLs and NEWTs required, I think Harry will be an Auror, Hermione a healer, and Ron a Muggle Relations-type worker for the Ministry.

[rachael_22090]

i think ron will be something important like and auror. he has a ton of potential and even though he doesnt do as well as he could in school he can be anything he wants and if he wants it bad enough he will try his hardest to get it. i think that is one of the reasons dumboldore made him prefect.

hermione can be anything but i think she will work in the minestry(they need her brains and common sense) she will most likely make a huge difference.

[cuong2u]

Harry would become an Auror (if he lives that long of course...) but I personally think that he would travel around the world a bit with Sirius's bike after the duel with Voldemort. I can see girls swoon over Harry Potter on his bike with dragon leather looking like some leader of a bike gang :D

Hermione reminds me of those activist hippies in the 70s during the Vietnam War. Probably will join the ministry promoting half-breed's rights or become the member of the Department of Mysteries. She would love to solve the Mysteries of the Brain of course.

Ron is going to be the owner of the Chudley Cannons! He'll get his money from Harry and start the enterprise of a new Quidditch Dynasty of Winners :rotfl:

[migo]

I think Ron and Hermione will end up being Aurors w/ Harry.. that is the best job in the magical world.. thats what i would do.. oh and if i had Hermione as a teacher, i would shoot myself

Aurors isn't the best job in the magical world! That's like saying that belonging to a Special Forces team is the best job in the real world.
Nevertheless I believe Harry will undoubtedly be an Auror.

As for Hermione I would see her as anyone who has to work with charms. Charms teacher, maybe healer if you add potions to the resumé. Never an Auror! Hermione isn't the Auror type at all she isn't even specially talented at DADA !

Ron... Ron is tricky because he's an underachiever. It is suggested in several occasions that he is talented. I don't think he'll become an Auror though. Ministry is the path for Ron unless he turns out to be in book6 and 7 a huge quidditch success.

Neville is the future herbology teacher without a doubt.

Ginny and Luna... I have no idea. I just thought there are no longer three major characters but six so I had to speak about all six of them. :)

[Liselle]

I'm sure that most ppl here will agree with me when I say that the twins were possibly the most memorable characters from OOTP...who can forget their last instruction to Peeves "Give her Hell!" I split my sides....

to my point, I read somewhere that JK said in an interview that some student will become a teacher during the series.....ok she may have meant Harry with his DA but I think that its possible that in the future the twins my come back as teachers (substitutes maybe?) and teach charms

what do you think?

[hesdead-dealwithit]

That'd be awesome! But since we haven't seen any sort of substitutes as we Americans (and maybe you Irish?) see them, I doubt it. In America, a substitute just teachess for one day if the teacher is sick or at a conference or something. They're usually retired people or college students, both looking for easy, extra money. They usually know nothing about the topic. Grubbly plank does, however. It seems to me that most subs in HP are just real teachers filling in, not people (that would be like the twins) doing what the teacher had written out for them to do while they were gone.

[The Quibbler]

I'm sure that most ppl here will agree with me when I say that the twins were possibly the most memorable characters from OOTP...who can forget their last instruction to Peeves "Give her Hell!" I split my sides.... -/
-/
Ya, Fred and George are definetly among the funniest characters in the HP bools! :elaugh: :lol: :elaugh: :lol:

But, them becoming teachers seems a little odd to me. I think they will be just fine having a joke shop, and Flitwick is a very good charms teacher. Why wreck something that is good?

I think that Harry will become DADA teaacher if a student does end up teaching. I also think that after Hogwarts, Neville will become Herbology teacher (or maybe even DADA teacher, but that is a little far-fetched :) ). That is only if he survives though :sad: .

[star22]

I think that Harry will be an auror. Hermione will be either minister of magic, hogwarts teacher or headmistress, or an auror. Ron will either be quiditch captain for the chudley cannons or work in the ministry. Neville will teach Herbology at Hogwarts. Luna will take over at the quibbler for her father. Ginny will probably play quiditch or work at the ministry.

[Gnomida]

mmm.... I think that Ron 'd be a good doctor (healer) and Hermione why not an Auror like Harry.
I also think that Neville'll be a Herbology Professor!!!
Pavarti and Lavander Divination professors!!

[hesdead-dealwithit]

I also think that Neville'll be a Herbology Professor!!!


Then what'll happen to Sprout? She doesn't seem to have a large enough role to end up dead in the Second War (but she could gain more importance in the last two books, granted, it has happened before)

[Lucha Lovegood]

I believe:
HARRY:
-He is gonna be an auror coz...remember macgonagalls promise!
or he could try being a quidditch player!
Hermione:
-I believe she will carry on with spew, may be it wont work out the way she always wanted spew to work like but at least she will let ppl know that they have feelings and all that!
-She could also write a book directed to boys that would explain the "mad things we girls do so boys understand them"...ron said it would be a great hit!
-She would great as a teacher...and also as a healer but the previous options were more on my mind!
-Im not sure she is interested to work at the ministry...though it would be a nice professional career to work at gringotts.
RON:
-Im not sure what is the best proffesion for ron...he wants to be an auror, i believe he'll try for quidditch player...but I dont see him in any of those jobs...I see him in something serious but that he really enjoys( he might enjoy quidditch but that isnt a real career!)so I dunno he likes mystery and to use his mind so I guess the Ministry would have a position he enjoys!
NEVILLE:
-I see him as a teacher...he is very nervous so I cant see him as an auror...unless he gets over all his fears or something like that!I think he would do great as a teacher or taking care of plants..or as a healer finding cures and stuff!
LUNA:
-I dont know in what she is good at...I dont know if shes a good student either...we just know she is nice and enjoys everything and likes to help and stuff but I have no idea what she could be ...maybe she will experiment with stuff just like mom did!
Ginny:
-I reaaaaallly have NO idea!

[RAC wEASLEY]

I think Hermione will work in the Ministry in a new department, regarding the SPEW, she'll work in pro of the equality of all magical creatures and also muggles since she was born one.
Ron will be a Quidditch player, maybe captain, since he is good at the Wizarding chess, he would make great atrategies if he was a Quidditch captain, or maybe he would become a Seer, since when he jokes about something that comes true.
Harry, even though all of you see him as an Auror, I don't think he would be one. I don't know in what other job he would fit, but not Auror.
Neville will become an Herbology teacher at Hogwrats, or maybe an Auror (many of you will want to kill me because I said Harry will not be an Auror and Neville yes, but really I don't see Harry becoming an Auror and I do see Neville doing it. Neville will get the "O" in Potions I'm sure, since he was bad at it when Snape was with him, but maybe without Snape he feels more confident and passes).
Parvati or Lavender, one of them will replace Trelanwey, but like Trelawney they wouldn't have the Eye that it requires and would be big frauds like the actual teacher.
Draco will become a DE and be sent to Azkaban or maybe he at the end he would be good and want to teach DADA at Haogwarts but the new headmaster or headmistress(McGonnagll I think) would not let him and he would become the Potions teacher, but I think my first theory is the correct one.
I don't know inwhat Ginny will work, but Luna, maybe will continue publishing the Quibbler when his dad dies, or she'll be a great scientist by discovering the Snorckack-thing and all the other strange creatures she mentioned.
Arthur Weasley will become Minister of Magic and McGonnagall headmistress of Hogwarts.

[Stncold]

i seem to remember JKR saying none of the trio would become teachers, officially anyway, dont think the DA counts, though that somebody else would but knowing her who knows if she really meant it or not .
anyways

(shippiness talking) Harry and Hermione=husband and wife aurors, like Nevilles parents.

(shippiness not talking) Harry=auror, Hermione=something to do with SPEW prob.

Ron=keeper for the Cannons or co-managing 3W with the twins or if he gets enough OWLs which i doubt then auror also.

Neville=herbology professor

Seamus&Dean=i really see them replacing the twins as beaters, maybe they'll go pro.

Luna=working with her dad on the Quibbler

Draco=something to do with the ministry or replacing Snivelly as potions master

Ginny=i can see her becoming editor of Witch Weekly or something to do
with it.

Parvati&Lavender=co-professors of Divination.

Lee=co-managing 3W.

and i dunno bout rest.

[MaraudersGirl]

I think that Ron and Harry will become Aurors and Hermione something to do with SPEW. I say that because of you look at Fantastic Beasts during the introduction, it said something about him woring in the house elf department, so maybe she'll end up there.

[chop]

HARRY - Auror
Hermione - Minister of Magic changing the entire Magic world in an SPEW way
RON - Quidditch player, then substitute for BAGMAN position at the ministry.
NEVILLE - He WILL overcome its fears and mental blockages and become an auror.
LUNA, GINNY and the rest I don't feel we have seen enough of their capabilities to guess.

[ducky1515]

I like the idea of Hermoinie as Minister of Magic. That would irritate the few purebloods left after the second war.

[Coolman]

Harry going to be a auror or you gonna be:censored:

[hermione_fan]

Hermione- I think she will do something for the ministry. She's really good at solving mysteries. I think she'll either be an auror or do something for the department of mysteries.

Harry- Definently an auror

Ron- I hope he continues playing quidditch or maybe he'll take over his dad's job.

Neville- Herbology Professor or a healer. Or maybe an auror? Maybe if he gets a new wand he'll be able to do spells better. He wont have his father's wand anymore, he'll have his own.

[Magi]

Harry:
I think he'll be a DADA teacher, instead of an Auror. If he survives his showdown with Voldy, he'd probably have had enough of Dark wizards, and want to take on a less dangerous job. He's good at teaching, he enjoys it, and if he survives the war, he'll have plenty of experience to boot.

Hermione:
I think Hermione will be an Auror. She's got the dedication and attention to detail needed for that sort of job; not to mention her problem solving and research skills. Animagus1369's quote doesn't mean that she dislikes being an auror... she was only giving a blanket answer... ie. she doesn't want to commit to a career choice yet, but she doesn't want to exclude being an auror, either. She was enthusiastic enough in Book 4, when Moody said she has what it takes to be one.

Ron:
IMHO, Ron could be a lot of things, but he'll have to really like what he's doing, or he won't be good at it. He could be an Auror.... he apparently gets pretty good grades. He could also be a Quidditch player, or perhaps follow his father's footsteps into the MoM (maybe in the Dept of Magical Games and Sports)?

[Doggy]

Harry'll definately become an auror - he's to used to going around "saving the world" to stop when Voldemort's dead. He'd be a good one too.

Ron - I don't know. He wanted to be an auror, but he doesn't seem like the auror "type" if you get my meaning. I can agree that he'd be great for something in the ministry (or maybe coach for some quidditch team).

No idea about Hermione - she may keep working on SPEW, but she should be intelligent enough to relaisr that it'll all run out in the sand.

[Hpmons]

If all of them survive (which I highly doubt!) then this is my prediction:

Harry: Auror if he is able to, and isnt too distraut about several deaths, and his life. If he finds that he cant/doesnt want to for some reason; he will be a professional Quidditch player. He cant be DADA teacher because JKR said so!

Ron: Work in the ministry, Auror (only if Harry is one too), Quidditch player (if he gets over his insecurities) or Minister of Magic (if he is particually sucessful). But I am not strongly keen on any of them.

Hermione: Minister of Magic (Id love that!) Headmistress, SPEW founder and leader, Auror...Most likely something where she is able to spread SPEW.

Ginny: Headmistress (dont ask me why...), work at the ministry, or DADA teacher - she would be quite a good choice, as she has improved a lot!

Luna: Continue with the Quibbler, a writer in general (she would be good!), teach Divination (that just popped into my head, I dont believe it at all). Most likely something that isnt particually sociable, I dont know why.

Neville: Herbology or DADA teacher! Or Auror (his confidence will improve, and I bet he will be wonderful), or healer (he goes to St Mungos so often, perhaps he will try and cure his parents himself). Healer...I suppose...



Draco: DIE DIE DIE! Er...The Darker Lord?

Crabbe and Goyle : training security trolls

Cho: Er...Something minor like Healer, or working for Gringotts

Blaise Zabini: Something important like...Care of Magical Creatures teacher!

Theodore Nott: Ruler of the World, Mwhahaha!


Odd post.

[rotsiepots]

Aren't we all being rather presumptuous to assume that these characters will live to have jobs outside of Hogwarts? ;)

Hypothetically, if they all do get through unscathed, I can see Ron having something to do with his favourite Quidditch team, the Chudley Cannons. I can't see him playing professional Quidditch, but he might turn his hand to coaching, refereeing or something similar.

Hermione, no doubt, will either work for the Ministry, Gringotts or Hogwarts. For some reason she seems destined for an office-type job. I can't see her working with dragons in Romania, for example.

[prancer]

i think ron's perfect job would be coach of the chudley canons-combines his great strategy skills which were developed from chess and his love and knowledge of quidditch and the chudley canons.
harry and hermione, i see numerous of possibilities for-aurors, one a headmaster, the other a teacher, one minister, the other in the department of mysteries, harry being a seeker, hermione being a healer, etc.
or, the three of them could publish 7 books about their 7 years at hogwarts under one name-jk rowling, make lots of money and not need a job!

[Sarmi]

Well, we know that Ron wants to be an Auror, but I don't think it'll happen. He'll do something at the Ministry.

Hermione, I can see her becoming an Auror with Harry. But I can also see her doing something else, especially concerning her plight with freeing the house-elves. She was concerned about that. Heck, I can even see Hermione becoming Mistress of Magic.

Sarmi

[NIrvanaFreak]

I think Ron will do something with the Ministry, and I think that Hermione will be Headmistress of Hogwarts or Transfiguration teacher.

[Zachary1993]

Did it ever say in the book what jobs Ron and Hermione want to get once they leave Hogwarts? If not what do you think they will become?
I think Hermonie did mention what she wanted to be in book five when she was lecturing Harry and Ron about studying their OWL"S. Anyways if Hermonie will probably do something that has to do with muggles. Or maybe she may try getting more involvement in S.P.E.W. I think it even mentioned this in the book i am not sure they could have also mentioned this in a forum or another website. Ron will probably became an Auror or work in the ministry of Magic like his father or he may join Fred and George's joke shop for a while until he can do something else that is if they let him.

[morgan le fay]

i dont know that SPEW is going to fly for too much longer, but i definitely imagine hermione doing something humanitarianish. shes going to have to marry rich to fund all these endeavors she wants to take to save others. ;)

as for ron, i dont think hes strong enough or smart enough to be an auror. although he has many positive personality traits, strength and high intelligence just arent some of them. i see him working in the ministry in the dept of magical games and sports working in the headquarters for the british and irish quidditch leagues.

that is, if they both live through the series...........

[Morgan LeFay]

Did anyone watched an anime series called "Gundam Wing"? Everytime I think about Hermione's job I see Relena Peacecraft. She was fighting for the world peace, and I think Hermione would give all her powers to do things she started in SPEW. That's what I think: she wouldn't be happy if she had to sit behind the desk all the time. Meetings, conferences, showing people her rights - I think she would be happy doing this.

I can't think about job for Ron. he doesn't seem to be very good in everything. He could be very good in quidditch, if he got more self-confident.

Harry - and auror of course. Or DADA teacher, but I don't know if he would be very happy doing this all the time. One year, maybe.

Neville - a healer. It would be perfect for him.But we'll see - maybe Neville will be a good auror?

[morgan le fay]

ooooo neville a healer !!!!!! .... i like that! :agree:

everyone keeps saying harry will be an auror, but if he vanquishes the dark lord in the end (and lives :scared: ) then why would he NEED to be an auror??? someone explain this if u can cuz i dont see it. lol. if he lives, i like your idea of him being a DADA teacher, Morgan. he has so much talent and knowledge, it would be a sin for him not to pass it on and teach.

ron i dont think can do PRO quidditch. hes just not confident enough. maybe something in the series will change that (if he lives :scared: ).

[Jonny Boy]

I think Hermione will be an Auror with Harry after they get married and Ron will take over his dads job.

[NYCwitch920]

I think Ron mentioned in one of the books that he would have wanted to be the captain of a certain professional Quidditch team but I'm not so sure if I'm correct. Other than that, he has expressed interest in being an Auror. Hermione I think might pursue something with the elf-rights movement that she has going on. It's far-fetched but it's the subject that she seems to devote the most effort to.

[lupe]

Many people think that Hermione would make a great teacher but I don't think she has enough patience. She always gets irritated when Ron can't do his work, and who could blame her, and she hates to see him do poorly so she does his work. I like the whole healer idea where she undos spells that have gone wrong.She has experience in that area like whenever Neville got in a bind she un did it.Hermione would even be good at something in the ministry for magical creatures.She could pass laws that are more fair to them if that is how it works in the wizarding world.

[deedlit]

Harry will be Auror obviously! then in later life, become a DADA teacher in Hogwarts

Ron will be working in the Ministry, possibly becoming MoM in later life. Since he is the youngest of the Wisley guys (and always in their shadow), i feel he will eventually outshine his elder brothers.

Harmione will be working in the Ministry as well, at the same time, fight for non-Human rights! In later life, will be Transfiguration teacher in Hogwarts, eventually head-mistress.

Ginny, will be an Auror with Harry. Then marry Harry, and become a loving housewife with lots of children. Like her mum.

[Jerry]

Well I think Harry would make a great auror but I think he will have had his share of fighting by the end of the 7th book. I think he will end up being hogwarts defense against the dark arts teacher. As for Hermonie I think she will eventually end up the minister of magic. She has to much social conscience and has vast plans to make the world better for the underdog. As for Ron, he will end up in the m.o.m. because he is talented but he is not a leader or originator but an exellent follower. This is not a insult to Ron (as he is my favorite) but rather a observation that he is stunch supporter of his friends now and later his employer.

[*Maven*]

I think Ron will become a Ministry Lawyer or something. He did help Hagrid with buckbeak right?

[DumfriesFawkes]

I'm not sure I believe this, but thought I'd put it out there for discussion and consideration. I saw in another thread that Hermes is the god that has the caduceus, the staff entwined with serpents and wings, and has come to be the symbol of the medical profession. Hermes could be an origin for the name Hermione. I have little knowledge about mythology or any of this, so I cannot verify any of this, but I thought I saw a possible connection.

I remember when they trio were talking about careers and they had the pamphlets spread around them, Hermione was reading the healer pamplet and she said they didn't seem to require a lot. At the time, I took it to mean that she thought it wasn't a demanding field, but after further thought, I think maybe she was saying that it wouldn't be too difficult for *her*, and we all know she has extraordinary academic records. Under my first impression, I took it to mean she wasn't interested at all, but under my second perception of her comments, it makes it seem like she is considering the healing profession.

Thoughts?

edit: I forgot to mention my thoughts on the SPEW thing. I am hopeful that with the results from defeating Voldemort, the Ministry will have a massive turnover and the attitude towards magical creatures and house elves and goblins and giants, etc. will change, therefore making Hermione's campaign for the house elves unnecessary. If there is still work to be done on this front, though, I can see her taking SPEW further.

[synergy]

I see Hermione working in the Department of Magic Creatures. Where better to promote SPEW? Besides after the coruption we saw in PoA I think that department needs someone like Hermione!

[kismetgirl]

Many people think that Hermione would make a great teacher but I don't think she has enough patience. She always gets irritated when Ron can't do his work, and who could blame her, and she hates to see him do poorly so she does his work. I like the whole healer idea where she undos spells that have gone wrong.She has experience in that area like whenever Neville got in a bind she un did it.Hermione would even be good at something in the ministry for magical creatures.She could pass laws that are more fair to them if that is how it works in the wizarding world.


She never does his work, she looks over it and corrects it. Is that not a mark of a teacher. Many people seem to think that will be Neville, but I think it will be Hermione.

First, it seems to me that there is not much to support that the herbology position will be vacant. Prof. Sprout is not old and it is never mentioned that she is in the Order of the Phoenix. So, unless she just happens to decide that she doesn't want to teach anymore or has some tragic accident, I think she has a lock on the position.

However, Hermione has always shown that she values knowledge and she has shown since CoS that she is an excellent potion brewer. (Remember the polyjuice potion was extremely complicated and in the restricted section of the library.) In OotP, she never did say what kind of career path she wanted to take. I think she has the temperament to be an excellent teacher and probably every students worse nightmare.

You might ask why I think the potions position will be open. I believe that Snape will not make to the end of the series. In fact, I think he will die saving Harry. Why would Snape die to save Harry, when he loathes him? If you go back to PS/SS, Dumbledore tells Harry in the end that he thinks Snape tried so hard to protect Harry to clear the debt Snape owed James for saving his life, so he could go back to hating James' memory in peace. Well, was that debt ever really cleared. I think not.

If in deed book 7 is the last, you have to wonder how Rowling will reconcile the Harry/Snape relationship. When Harry defeats Voldemort, I don't think Snape is just going to all of a sudden realize Harry is okay. There is too much hatred for Snape to give up and I think for Harry to give up. So, the answer--Snape sacrifices himself to save Harry. And that leaves the potion's position open for Hermione the best student in the school.

PS I think Neville, if he makes it will become the healer. He has the determination and the passion for it b/c of what happened to his parents.

[Tonks08]

I think Hermione would be a GREAT healer.... I can imagine her doing that. And plus she has all the classes manditory.... Or well I think she does... I doubt that she'd need Divination, and muggle studies for that.
Ron on the other hand I could imagine him working for the Department of Magical Games and Sports when he graduates.

[RonnyBoy]

I bet Ron ends up working for the Ministry of Magic. I could see Hermione becoming Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts. But, I could also see Harry becoming Headmaster, and I doubt Rowling would make them both end up working at Hogwarts (that would seem kind of stupid to me).

[Jill]

In GoF on page 495 (British version), it states the following:

'Moody's magical eye quivered as it rested on Hermione. "You're another one who might think about a career as an Auror," he told her. "Mind works the right way, Granger."Hermione flushed pink with pleasure.'

This expression suggests that Hermione given the chance would grab at an Auror position as she went pink with pleasure at the thought of becoming an Auror. Hermione does have the correct attributes to do well at the Auror career as she has a very enquiring mind.

I have a feeling that this is a hint as to what career Hermione is being lined up for if she lives.

[kismetgirl]

I forget which book at the moment, but Hermione has also expressed never feelings about being an Auror. I think that she flushed pink with pleasure just b/c of the compliment. She likes it whenever any teacher or for that matter anybody tells her she is smart and intelligent.

I think brain wise she is very qualified to be an Auror, but emotionally I don't think she has the right mind set. It is kind of like the saying there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.

I have always gotten the feeling that Aurors are somewhat like SWAT or Special Forces and my experience with special forces members is that they are all somewhat crazy (in a good way), reckless, and thrill junkies. Just look at the characters we know are Aurors---Moody and Tonks. Not much to say about Shacklebolt did get a real feel for his character, but I think that he has it in him too. I think of what we know of Hermione, she is too cautious. I think the first time a dark wizard did something that was not logical or out of character she would be stuck.

Another thing to mention is that many people put a lot of weight on that particular Moody passage in reference to Harry and Herimone but lets not forget that was Barty, Jr in disguse, so what makes him the authority on what makes a good auror.

I still think that she would be a great teacher, although every students worse nightmare. I kind of imagine her very much like McGonagall.

Although, if not a teacher I definitely see her as a healer.

[Jill]

Yes but she also went on to attact out the role of an auror in the following sentences:

"Well, he wasn't invisible," said Harry, "the map shows invisible people. He must've left the grounds, then."

"But under his own steam?" said Hermione eagerly. "Or because someone made him?"

This sounds like someone who actually likes the idea of being an auror not hating the idea. Hermione is even making more effort than normal to figure out what had actually happen.

On the same page Moody states this, "Now, Dumbledore's told me you three fancy yourselfs as investigators."

This suggests that the trio have already been to Dumbledore and discussed there careers with him or am I just miss reading that. :)

[braggyboy]

I think that Hermione will definately set up Spew and take it very far. Why would JK go on about it so much in goblet of fire and order of pheonix if it wasn't a career path

[kismetgirl]

This suggests that the trio have already been to Dumbledore and discussed there careers with him or am I just miss reading that. :)


I don't think that they discussed there careers with Dumbledore but that he was just relating the events of the first two years.

I don't think that Hermione thinks it is a worthwhile career for her, but who really knows in the end except Rowling. As a matter of fact, who even knows if she will even survive to have a career.

[Cheeseheads]

Hermione runs a retirement for house elves (those poor creatures need somewhere to go when their back won't let em run around after a family of wizards)
Harry opens a shop beside the Weasleys and sells wizard brooms and Quidditch apparel
Ron goes on to work at The misuse for Muggle Artifacts like his dad and tinkers with cars and colletcs plugs (oh and he marres a rich witch)

[Jena Evans]

I think that Harry (if he lives) may end up becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. The position is always needing to be filled and Harry has proven that he's good at it with Dumbledore's Army in OotP.

I'm not sure about Ron...he's definately got good strategy skills. I'm not sure about him playing pro quidditch because I don't really think he is good enought (at least with people watching him, so maybe if he got over that he could do it). But he also could be an auror, I'm pretty sure his grades are about the same as Harry's and he is determined, so he could probably do it.

Hermione I could see as being a healer. She is good at fixing things and cares about people so I think she would find some fullfillment and purpose in helping heal people. If Dumbledore dies and McGonnagal becomes Headmaster (Headmistress) then I could easliy see her taking McGonnagal's place as assisstant Headmaster, she's already proven herself capable of being an exellent prefect and has shown that she will do whatever is necessary to protect those she cares about and has repsonsibility for.

[enowonkenobi]

I think it would be fantastic if all three of them became Aurors. Moody/Crouch has said in GoF that Dumbledore told him the trio "fancies themselves as investigators". If the trio all became Aurors they could very well be legends of the wizarding world... something like the Three Musketeers, eh? :eyebrows:

On what someone posted earlier, I can see Seamus and Dean becoming beaters for Gryffindor in book 6 too :)

[xray]

I posted this in another thread but this one seems more appropriate.

I think Hermione will end up working with Fred and George in their joke shop.
Here are the clues that lead me to believe this:

She's impressed by the magic Fred and George use for their merchandise.

(OotP, Ch. 24: Occlumency, p540, Scholastic press)
"Headless Hats!" shouted George, as Fred waved a pointed hat decorated with a fluffy pink feather at the watching students. "Two Galleons each, watch Fred, now!"
Fred swept the hat on to his head, beaming. For a second he merely looked rather stupid; then both hat and head vanished.
Several girls screamed, but everyone else was roaring with laughter.
"And off again!" shouted George, and Fred's hand groped for a moment in what seemed to be thin air over his shoulder; then his head reappeared as he swept the pink-feathered hat from it.
"How do those hats work, then?" said Hermione, distracted from her homework and watching Fred and George closely. "I mean, obviously it's some kind of Invisibility Spell, but it's rather clever to have extended the field of invisibility beyond the boundaries of the charmed object… I'd imagine the charm wouldn't have a very long life though."

(Ch. 38: The Second War Begins, p848)
"Well, Flitwick's got rid of Fred and George's swamp," said Ginny, "he did it in about three seconds. But he left a tiny patch under the window and he's roped it off—"
"Why?" said Hermione, looking startled.
"Oh, he just says it was a really good bit of magic," said Ginny, shrugging.
She's impressed by the magic.

She's already solved one of their problems for them without realizing it.
(OotP, Ch. 15: The Hogwarts High Inquisitor, p324, Scholastic Press)
"Here," she said anxiously, pushing a small bowl of yellow liquid towards him, "soak your hand in that, it's a solution of strained and pickled Murtlap tentacles, it should help."
Harry placed his bleeding, aching hand into the bowl and experienced a wonderful feeling of relief.

(Ch. 15: Dumbledore's Army, p378-379)
They found Fred and George debating whether to use one of their own Skiving Snackboxes to get out of flying.
<snip>
"Does it work?" enquired Ron hopefully, as the hammering of rain on the roof intensified and wind howled around the building.
"Well, yeah," said Fred, "your temperature'll go right up."
"But you get these massive pus-filled boils, too," said George, "and we haven't worked out how to get rid of them yet."

(Ch. 25: The Beetle At Bay, p551)
When Harry next saw Lee, the back of his hand was bleeding rather badly. Harry
recommended essence of Murtlap.

(Ch. 26: Seen and Unforseen, p574)
"Told you already, we're not fussed about N.E.W.T.s," said Fred. "The Snackboxes are ready to roll, we found out how to get rid of those boils, just a couple of drops of Murtlap essence sorts them, Lee put us on to it...."


She wants to do something worthwhile for her career and after more Voldemort stuff, she'll come to realize that making people laugh is worthwhile. She starts to realize this after Fred and George's fireworks display:
(Ch. 28: Snape's Worst Memory, p634)
Fred and George were heroes that night in the Gryffindor common room. Even Hermione fought her way through the excited crowd to congratulate them.
"They were wonderful fireworks," she said admiringly.
"Thanks," said George, looking both surprised and pleased. "Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-bangs. Only thing is, we used our whole stock; we're going to have to start again from scratch now."
"It was worth it, though," said Fred, who was taking orders from clamoring Gryffindors. "If you want to add your name to the waiting list, Hermione, it's five Galleons for your Basic Blaze box and twenty for the Deflagration Deluxe…"
Hermione returned to the table where Harry and Ron were sitting staring at their schoolbags as though hoping their homework would spring out and start doing itself.
"Oh, why don't we have a night off?" said Hermione brightly, as a silver-tailed Weasley rocket zoomed past the window. "After all, the Easter holidays start on Friday, we'll have plenty of time then."
"Are you feeling all right?" Ron asked, staring at her in disbelief.
"Now you mention it," said Hermione happily, "d'you know… I think I'm feeling a bit… rebellious."

Hermione could help them solve a lot of problems in creating new 'joke' items for their shop.

I can see Ron doing something like playing keeper for a decent quidditch team. He doesn't have the determination to be an Auror.

Hermioen I can see taking S.P.E.W a lot farther. I think it is what she desires most, to do something meaningful with her life.

[LumosSoleil]

I searched to see if there's any match so hopefully there isn't, but if there's one similar to this I don't mind the merging.

Say, that Harry does survive LV and graduated from Hogwarts (and JK lovingly decides to continue with HP-dear goodness please) what can one speculate about Harry's future life?

Well, I can say that he will work on becoming an auror. But who would his new nemesis be? new love interest? or more importantly, new home? what new exciting adventures will he undertake?

[sanchou]

I heard about the initial of Head of each house are same from a hp site, so maybe Luna will be Head of Ravenclaw house.

[Doggy]

I heard about the initial of Head of each house are same from a hp site, so maybe Luna will be Head of Ravenclaw house.
Isn't Sprout's first name Pomona? (I think I read it somewhere.)

But I can still see Luna as a teacher, and then someday head of Ravenclaw - unless she takes over the Quibbler of course.

I'm going with Ron as a quidditch player, but I'm not sure about Hermione. She might later understand that her SPEW efforts aren't appreciated even by the house elves.

[devoweirdman]

JKR said that one of the students will become a teacher and it WON'T be Hermione. Of course she could always change her mind. But if this stays true I think Harry will become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That's basically what he's already doing with the D.A. anyway. Maybe he will be the one to finally break the jinxed position. I think Hermione will be a Healer becasue the position requires a lot of responsibility and talent, both of which she has a lot. If not this then something to deal with magical creatures so she can continue S.P.E.W. I think that Ron really wants to be an auror too, but I don't think this will happen. I have no idea what he will do. Maybe he will help Fred and George with their joke shop?

[sykosis17]

Harry maybe an Auror.
Ron maybe an auror too but most likely he would be an accomplished Keeper for a 5 star quidditch team.
Herminone could either be a teacher at Hogwarts or she could pursue a career in Muggle Relations. The SPEW thing might not hold up any longer.
Neville yes...a healer or teacher at Hogwarts for Herbology.
George and Fred obviously they're running their own joke shop.

[Pansy]

Well, while I realize the popular vote for Harry's future profession is Auror, I realized last night that he would be the perfect DADA teacher. Heck, JRK is practially hitting us over the head with the idea in that he teaches fellow students in book 6. I think once he defeats Voldemort, he'll be tired of hunting down the evil wizards and witches of the world. As a professor, he'll get to live at Hogwarts forever. Just my thought.

I think Hermione will end up at the ministry, and I'm assuming as she and Ron end up together, he'll be there too.

Just my thoughts for the day!

[maeve]

I can definitely see Hermione becoming Minister of Magic someday.
As for Harry, Hogwarts is clearly his home so maybe a teacher or headmaster.
Ron would make a good auror or another position in the ministry.

[playmaker9]

i definitely don't see harry becoming an auror. as he has stated tons of times, he hates the fact that he is the-boy-who-lived and that it is his destiny to fight voldemort. he has lived for five years now fighting off voldemort, and he definitely doesn't find happiness in that, so why would he, after defeating voldemort, continue with the life that he hates so much? no, i see him as either a teacher or possibly a philanthropist. he's already rich, he probably doesn't want all of the attention that quidditch stardum would bring him, so i see him settling down with hermione :) somewhere and living out his life in peace.

i definitely see ron becoming a quidditch player, he loves the sport and i've got a feeling he's going to become even better than wood was at keeper.

hermione...i don't really know. i could see her as a teacher, but i wouldn't be surprised to see her start some kind of magical-creatures liberation front with lupin and eventually rid the world of all racism and bigotry towards magical creatures and muggle-borns, etc.

i totally see neville becoming an auror (if he survives the series :()

i also see dean thomas as a professional footballer for west ham.

seamus - possibly a quidditch announcer for ireland?

creevey's - photographers

patil twins and lavender - reporters for witch weekly

well, that's about it i guess.

cheers!

[Discordia]

I think brain wise she is very qualified to be an Auror, but emotionally I don't think she has the right mind set. It is kind of like the saying there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.

I agree. She's clever but I don't think that she could actually deal with all the emotional aspects of it. It's like those people who can't wait to get out onto the battlefield until they realize that these aren't toy guns they're holding and there's a very good chance that they will end up either taking or losing a life. I think that she's be better suited to being a healer or working for the minstry.

Ron I can see working for the minisrty. He wouldn't make a good auror that's for sure

Harry I think would make a good Auror but for some reason I always have this fantasy od him playing professional quidditch. It's one of the few things that he's exceptionally talented at and he loves it.

[Godrics_Heiress]

I don't want any of them to become Aurors. They deal with dark forces enough as it is and it's just a dangerous job for them. I would love to see Hermione teach at Hogwarts and Harry and Ron become professional Quidditch players, or heck become anything they want to be.

[koli]

i know this is horrible, but i want harry to die at the end of the 7th book... and hermione and ron should be professors at hogwarts.

[daz]

Ron will not be a famous quidditch player as he sucks he only got on the team because of harry and they won the cup because they were luckey not because of Rons skill.

[lauradonaghy]

Sorry Daz, but you're a bit... off... there. He doesn't suck, he's "good when he's on form" and he got on the team because the only better candidates were either annoying or didn't care enough about Quidditch. And they did win because of Ron's skill. He said to himself, "you can do this" and he did.
I think Ron will work in the Ministry.
Harry will spend a while eradicating any remaining DEs after the Final Battle, then become a professional Quidditch player.
Hermione might go into politics, campaigning for elf and part-human rights, eventually becoming the first Muggle-born Ministress for Magic.
(Oh, and Harry and Hermione will get married and, as Trelawney said, have twelve children - but that doesn't have much to do with careers.)

[The Black]

I've become convinced that Harry will be a teacher. I just don't see Auror as a true fit for him.

At Grimauld Place, he didn't appreciate Moody showing him the picture of the original Order. It made him uncomfortable to even think about it. That doesn't sound like someone that would be good for hunting down dark wizards.
I think that once Voldemort is gone, Harry will be done fighting.

Obviously he would make a good teacher. He already practically taught a year of DADA.

[giantsquid28]

At Grimauld Place, he didn't appreciate Moody showing him the picture of the original Order. It made him uncomfortable to even think about it. That doesn't sound like someone that would be good for hunting down dark wizards.


I thought he was uncomfortable because of Moody's narrative; he realized all of the destruction that the DEs could cause and that made him ill. He also saw wormtail sitting with his parents. How would you react to seeing (probably) one of the last pictures of your parents with the person who would cause their deaths? I think that is enough to upset most people, not to mention the fact that he was still feeling jealous about the whole prefect thing. I think if Harry wants to be an auror, he will become one. I guess I could also see him becoming one, and then becoming a teacher at the auror school.

In the end, I think he will realize that being an auror isn't as glamorous as he thought it was.

[devoweirdman]

In her most recent chat JKR said that she can't see Harry in an academic position. This blows my previous theory that he would be the DADA teacher, the one who breaks the curse of the jinxed position.

But I came up with a new, much better theory. He will be the minister of magic...eventually. References to it have been made twice already. In the third book, when they are reading tea leaves for the first time, Ron looks into Harry's cup and says he sees a bowler hat. He says something like, "maybe you're going to be minister of magic." When he jokes, he's sometimes right. Also, in the fifth book, Trelawney, after Harry gives his interview, predicts that he will be minister of magic. I find it interesting that two different people in two different books would predict him becoming minister of magic. He does have the skills necessary to lead the magical community, IMO.

[monig3]

What will happen to our favorite Harry Potter charactors after they Graduate from Hogwarts. What Jobs will they have or will they even be alive.



I think Harry definitely has a future as an Auror - that is if he lives past the 7th book! Hermione would make an excellent McGonagall-esque professor at Hogwarts. I can definitely see Ron in the Ministry of Magic just like his dad.

Luna will probably be running the Quibbler. Neville? I have my suspicions about Neville's future and they include the fruition of his potential! I'm intrigued by Neville's character. I think he's a slow starter but will prove to be an excellent wizard!

[SimGrand]

Yeah, but don't you kind of get the impression that Harry will not really want to deal with fighting more evil, and watching more people around him die, after he defeats Voldemort? I dunno, I just think he wants to lead a much more normal life. I would lean towards a teaching or quidditch career for him - although I'm pretty sure JKR said something about Harry not becoming a teacher. As for Ron, well I think he would definately want to become a prof. quidditch player, and I can't really see him as an auror or a ministry worker. Hermione - I could definately imagine her as a professor; I think the minister of magic route would be too cheesy, and I'd say she definately would NOT be an auror or quidditch player (ha ha).

I could see Ron as a Quidditch player, if only he could keep that insecurity out of the way...he has time.

I see what you're saying about Harry. True, you can tell he gets frustrated with his "growing up to soon" situation. He has to deal with things that only the most talented Aurors would be expected to deal with. I can see him becoming weary with it all and wanting nothing more than a "normal" life.

What about following in the footsteps of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore? After he grows out of his immaturity (and hastiness) he could make a great headmaster. He's fair...most of the time.

[Rattan]

Harry: I'll go with him as an Auror for a bit, finishing things off as a DADA teacher at Hogwarts and maybe Headmaster.

Hermione: Something in government. She seems to have the ambition to do it.

Ron: He seems to be down on himself to much to really do well. However when he gets into it he really does a good job. He's good at chess. So maybe something that involves strategy. Hell if i kbew what that was.

Draco: Bum on the streets.

[Lucius]

What about following in the footsteps of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore? After he grows out of his immaturity (and hastiness) he could make a great headmaster. He's fair...most of the time.

You know monig3, I had never even considered that possibility yet I think it's on the right track. I agree with people's comments that Harry, (if he survives which I'm sure he will) won't take up a position of high authority, especially in the Government.

I think he would shy away from the public after such traumatic experiences at such relatively young ages. Dumbledore is slowly becoming a father figure now with Sirius gone, I think it would be the perfect position for him once he grows out of his negative qualitites, which he will.

I really hope Ron shines, after all he's got so many siblings, (and Harry) to compete with for attention. And Hermione, perhaps a teaching position but I think Rowling won't be going no where with Hermione's obsession for social justice.

[monig3]

I have to say I'm a fan of the underdog, that's why I'm so partial to Ron and Neville. I could see them both living up to their potential. I've read threads with a lot of people begrudging Ron for his negative qualities, i.e. catching on more slowly than Harry & Hermione, not helping solve the mysteries much, etc. but he does have that strategy thing going, plus he's loyal to the core.

I forgot about him having to live in the shadow of his brothers and now Harry. With that in mind, it's easy to see where the insecurity he shows when playing qudditch comes from.

I can't wait to see him grow a little.

Neville has a lot of potential too. The plot line about him being the only other possibility in the prophecy has a purpose. I expect bigger and bigger parts for Neville in the next 2 books! JKR don't let me down!! :p

[Lucius]

I have to say I'm a fan of the underdog, that's why I'm so partial to Ron and Neville.

I agree completely, Ron is very similar to Sam in LOTR, (which I'm sure has been pointed out a million times before, sorry!) But I can see him showing his true colours in the end, perhaps in playing out the archetype role of the 'loyal sidekick' or perhaps even something more. Obviously Ron would never abandon Harry, but he might have an independent, influential role to play.

And Neville, now that's an interesting question. I mean he doesn't have the same talent as Harry or Ron but I've been getting the major hints from Rowling too. Perhaps Neville will die fighting against Voldemort, after all we saw the very first glimpse of 'Gryffindor' bravery from Neville in book 5.

Who knows, all this speculation is really exciting though!

[Sienna]

I can see Harry as minister of magic funnily enough... auror, well I think he'd have had enough of violence after Voldemort... I can also see him eventually replacing Dumbledore... but I can also see him as a professional Quidditch player. Ah, gotta love that kid... he's capable of anything.

Hermione I think will definitely reach high and achieve big. I liked someone's suggestion of her becoming the first muggle-born Minster of Magic... that'd be great. I think she'll definitely get into political lobbying for the rights on non-wizarding magical creatures. Once again, I think she's capable of anything.

Now Ron... interesting. Maybe Ron will actually be the one of the trio to become an auror? That said, I could also see him captaining the English Quidditch team. Whatever it is, I think he'll surprise us that one.

Luna... journalist. She'll marry Ron and they'll become the celebrity couple (in a nice ironic turn of events)... ;)

[Miasma]

I think harry will probably become an Auror - it's what he said at his meeting thing, and McGonagall says she'll help him get the grades no mater what. So it would be a bit hard to back out now..
Hermione I can see as a healer, because she's caring, she's got the brains and she'd probably enjoy it. It's also a well respected job (I'd think anyway)
Ron - I dont see him as a Quiddich player. I think that he'd be too self consious. If he got over that, then maybe. Like most people here, probably the ministry of magic.
Neville I'd like to see working in the Minsitry of Magic with the Unforgivable Curses, or possibly in St Mungos, but I don't think that that could ever happen with him, so maybe a professor? Something to do with Herbology - maybe mixing up herbs and things for St Mungos?

[FirefightingMuggle]

Harry will be an Auror. I just can't see him being anything else.
Hermione I think has too much of a social consciousness to her to become a teacher. I can see her founding the Wizarding World's ACLU and becoming influential in the fight to make all magical creatures equal.
Ron will have to do something cool. Government just isn't really a cool job so I don't see him there, but maybe he would become the DADA teacher and be just as cool as Lupin.
Neville will be a healer. His abilities in Herbology will lead him to natural healing remedies. I think he will get a pretty good score on his OWL potions too, just because he is gaining confidence and Snape wasn't there to make him nervous.
Luna will work for the Quibbler.
Ginny will have a cool job like her brother Bill did. I can see her working as a curse breaker just like Bill used to.

[hermione_luvr94]

I can see harry being an auror but ron having a cool job,never.Hermione is probally going to be a teacher or keep on with "SPEW."Neville is probaly going to be the herbology teacher.

[hermione_luvr94]

I can see harry being an auror but ron having a cool job,never.Hermoine would either be a teacher or keep on with "SPEW."Neville will probally be the herbology teacher.

[Pegasus]

At Harry's age, I wanted to be a concert pianist, but I'm not good enough and I have stage fright! I didn't find what I really want to do until my mid-twenties. What I'm saying is that it's hard to say what you want to do for the rest of your life when you're 15. If Harry decides not to be an auror, I can see him more as a DADA teacher, anyway, but Rowling said something about him having too much excitement to be stuck in a school the rest of his life. I'll just have to see. Neville has a definite future in herbology, and I can see Hermione as an inventor of sorts. Ron, I don't know yet--I think he will step out on his own two feet now that his big brothers are out of the way, and we have yet to see what he's made of. Draco=future DE.

[magicmaffia]

Quote my previos thread:

"I have always wondered what occupations the trio would take up after the series, but have never had a chance to discuss it with someone untill now.

Well, I think that once out of school harry might go searching for information about his family. Then settle down to a nice quit job as an auror *giggles*

I think ron might apply for a job at the Ministry of Magic, but fail. Then I think he will either join Fred and George at Weasleys Wizard Wheezes.

Now Hermione is the difficult one because she is capable of working as almost anything. I think she might become a teacher at Hogwarts and later become Headmaster."

[Inkheart7890]

Hermione- Healer or teacher. I don't think she would make a good Auror

Ron- He loves Quidditch, but he's not that good at it so I think he'll work at the Ministry doing somethink with sports

Harry- Harry could do so many things....I think he'll become an Auror but he could also be a Teacher, or work at the Ministry for various jobs

[Kelroy]

Harry: Auror and later Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts

Ron: Quidditch Player and later Minister of Magic

Hermione: McGonagall-esque Arithmancy Professor and later Headmistress of Hogwarts

[monig3]

Harry: Auror and later Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts

Ron: Quidditch Player and later Minister of Magic

Hermione: McGonagall-esque Arithmancy Professor and later Headmistress of Hogwarts



Oh, I forgot about Defense of the Dark Arts teacher...that's a good one.

I don't know about Hermione though, as a professor maybe, but she might be too much of a stickler for Headmistress. IMO Harry would be a better choice for Headmaster of Hogwarts...after he learns to be patient and gains sounder judgment.

[purplepretzel]

In book 5, Ron was considering on being an Auror.

[EurasiaFelton]

Ron and Harry would be both playing professional Quidditch
Hermione will probably take up further magical studies. (W.A.N.D)
Wizard's After N.E.W.T. Degree. It's like wizarding Masterals or PH degree~hehe
after which Ron would work as an Auror. Harry will replace Dumbledore as Hogwart's Headmaster and Hermione will be the Minister of Magic! How does that sound?

[sour]

Hermione - I could definately imagine her as a professor; I think the minister of magic route would be too cheesy, and I'd say she definately would NOT be an auror or quidditch player (ha ha).

Too cheesy??? But the job's perfect for her! She is SO gonna be M f M! :clap:

I can't see her becoming headmaster of hogwarts though, she's very clever and probably wise by then I suppose, but I'm not sure if she has dumbledore's skill of getting the best out of people.

[Bjornar]

I think that though harry will have been through a lot by book 7 he will still have the ingrained desire to help and proctect others. While he could stay in the school and teach DADA you know the cliche' "those that can't do, teach" and Harry can most certainly be out there in the real world. Hypothesizing he both survives and defeates Volde ( I guess i can't assume this) there wouldn't be much out there more traumatic than what he had already seen. I think auror would be a good fit. I agree with those that see Ron in a Quidditch related occupation, or perhaps he'll just be a big fan all of his life. Perhaps all of the students, much like most college undergrads, will change their majors or intrests 2 or 3 times before reaching an occupation. I do think though that Neville will become this chisled Punisher-esque auror!

[Cat]

Somebody's probably already suggested this, and I'm sorry for being too lazy to go through the thread, but I think Hermione would make a great reporter for the Daily Prophet or some other paper.

- She's obsessed in facts and research.
- She's daring.
- She's bossy.
- She has a huge political conscience.
- She really hates Rita Skeeter.

She could be the anti-Rita. I can imagine her barging around all over the place going 'Hermione Granger, Daily Prophet, let me through!'

[FreckledApples]

She could be the anti-Rita. I can imagine her barging around all over the place going 'Hermione Granger, Daily Prophet, let me through!'
i love that! i want her to be either a reporter or healer
i think ron's quidditch playing will get much better and he will play for chudley cannons and they will be good again
i think harry will die but if he doesn't he'll be an auror

[yo_dawg_sup?]

yeah that sounds good too me
im not exactly keen on hermione being what you said, i dont know why, but yeah. I think she will need something very hard and very interesting to do to keep that large brain of hers working

hello :rotfl: whats your name again? i dont believe we've met :cool:

my name is elle
being a reporter would let her work that brian of hers! so would a healer...she could think up a lot of new healing stuff

id like to add neville- he will be the DADA teacher

[yo_dawg_sup?]

and i think neville will be a good DADA teacher, or herbology teacher, but i think since nevill is getting his own wand and stuff, and already has improved a lot, i think he will start to be excellent in DADA

[yo_dawg_sup?]

my name is elle
being a reporter would let her work that brian of hers! so would a healer...she could think up a lot of new healing stuff

id like to add neville- he will be the DADA teacher
wow! i totally just posted that about neville! haha!
its like we think alike
yeah, i think a reporter will be good for hermione, but, i dunno... i just think its weird..
i can see luna as a reporter for the daily prophet, then she will exaggerate everything and then get fired, then restart her dad's (who died tragically becuase of heart complications) Quibbler business

[Zelkiiro]

Well, if Harry lives, it'd be obvious that he'd be an Auror, or something along those lines. Hermione might be a librarian of some kind. Ron would probably take Bagman's job as the Magical Sports Head guy.

[hermioneclone9]

I don't think Hermione would be a librarian. I'd like to see her write books, or something. Or a Healer. I can see her being a Healer.

Neville DADA teacher? Nah, I think that if he becomes a teacher, he would porbably the Herbology teacher.

[DogStar87]

I think Harry will most definitely be an Auror. It's perfect with his background. Yet I think the possiblity of a professional Quiddtich carreer will be very tempting. But when it comes down to it, I think he'd choose to be an Auror.

[Bjornar]

Are these supposed to be the characters careers or the jobs the get upon leaving Hogwarts? I think there have been some very interesting choices posted for careers, but really Harry, Ron, Hermione are going to have to work a few McJobs before some of those careers become possible. As I've already posted i think Harry would make a great Auror, but if Neville becomes an Herbology Prof and Hermoine works her way up MoM or becomes a journalist what comes before those sought after occupations? Perhaps Ron will be a stockboy at the twins' joke shop while he toils in the minor leagues of quidditch.

[Zelkiiro]

I don't think Hermione would like writing books. Remember, her passion is reading them... geez... what would that make her then...?

[hermioneclone9]

True. She does more reading. But she could be a really good writer too. She always wrote more on her assignments and Ron CoS page 147
"And Hermione's done four feet seven inches, and her writing's tiny"

Normally, if people write a lot in their homework, they tend to be good writers.

Of course, she probably won't become a famous author, but it still is a possibility.

[albustomove]

i think it would be funny if draco becomes a janitor at walmart :lol: :lol: :lol:

[OmarGama]

I think that they are going to be teachers or something like that.

[Marix]

I think that Harry will take Dumbledore's job,Hermiona will take McGonagall's job and Ron will be a DADA teacher.

[Marie Lexis]

I think that they all might be Aurors. It just seems like something that they all could do.

[skatay]

I think Ron will become ultimately, someone at the ministry. Hermione will be an instructor, Harry an Auror.

Harry may later become a professor of the dark arts teacher, ron can head the ministry (with hermione's help) and hermione can head hogwarts. she has often been called the cleverest wizard of their age, as dumbledore must have been.

I just hope Harry gets some pro years at quidditch before settling down with ginny.

[FarhanaK]

I think all of them will be fantastic aurors :cool:

[bloodywicked06]

Harry after Hogwarts.....Maybe we'll find out in the 7th book, or maybe she'll leave that up to our imaginations. I think if Harry doesn't die, (and I don't think he will) I think he might come back to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. I think Hermione would be a good teacher, too....she could be head mistress when she gets old....eh?

[Barbara Kennedy]

Try this thread.
Jobs of Harry, Ron and Hermione (http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=11640)

[OmarGama]

ok, I think that they will make a family together (Harry and Hermione) and Ron will be the godfather.

[dance2impress]

I think Harry will be an auror because that's what he's good at. 'Course he might be tierd of actually fighting off evil wizards, so he might turn to teaching, I'm sure they'll always be interesting things happening at Hogwarts, even after he's left. Hermione will probably be a teacher. I dunno about Ron.

[RJBradbrook]

i think that harry will become an auror, hermione, the minister of magic and ron a professional quidditch player, or perhaps follow in his fathers footsteps and work in the missues of muggle artifacts division

[doge_elphias]

Harry will ultimately become an Auror with help from Dumbledore, McGonagall and some other people from the Order, since some of them are Aurors themselves. Later, he might become a DADA teacher in Hogwarts since he is one the best candidate for the job. He might even become the minister of magic (this is based on Trelawney's prediction when she is on probation because of Umbrigde's inspection, which I think still can be be trusted a bit.

Ron may be a quidditch player. I think his mother may want him to be in the ministry. If he ended up in the ministry, then I think he will follow his Dad's footstep in the department of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts.

Hermonie may become either of these choices:
1. Auror (she qualified all the requirements easily as she is smartest witch around.)
2. Healer (she also fulfiled all requirements.)
3. A member in the ministry under the department of Care and Control of Magical Creatures (she loves house-elves and loves to change their working conditions etc. Perhaps bring another forward in S.P.E.W)

[angy potter]

Hello everyone!!! I'm new here and I'm totally obsessed with Harry Potter!
Now,I think Ron will either become a quidditch player or work in the ordinary Magical Law Enforcement Patrol.
I cannot imagine Harry working though. I think he won't live to work [tears]. However If he lives it would be cool if he became an auror.
As for Hermione I agree with doge elphias.

[FreckledApples]

JKR said she tells us all this in the last chapter of book 7. i think ron is going to die but if he doesnt then i think him and hermione will get married and have a son and name him harry after harry b/c i think harry is going to die.

[DarkMark]

when did JKR say that? If she has, then there definetly will be no chance of her writing another in a few years time.

[pasalita]

Even if JKR may not write any further books after book 7 continuing the saga of the kids, we can still imagine what she may include in the "appendix" she has said may be included at the end of book 7.

Considering that this thread is mainly discussing what their jobs may be after Hogwarts, and someone has mentioned an opinion that is better discussed in the "Who will fall in love with whom" thread, I'm tempted to close this thread.

However, "the gang" can also refer to others that are not Harry, Hermoine, and Ron. So, I'll keep this thread open for now.

It would be great if Harry became a teacher after Hogwarts. He showed with the DA a knack for teaching. Also, he seemed to really enjoy watching his fellow students mastering the spells and working hard to learn to defend themselves. However, I would love to see him fulfill his dream of becoming an Auror. Anyone who thinks that the defeat of LV will be the end of dark wizards is naive. There will probably be a new deranged wizard who will see LV's absence as an opportunity to take over the role of "he-who-must-not-be-named" status. Aurors will still be very important after the end of this series.

[bubs]

Ron. Dead during the last fight with Voldemort.
Harry. Survive the fight and become an Auror.
Hermione. Will be so emotionally drained and scarred aftr Ron's death she will leave the wizarding world and study Dentistry like her parents.
Neville. Become Professor of Herbology.
The Malfoys. All dead thanks to the final battle.

[Droobles]

Malfoy: Could take Voldemort's spot if Harry kills him. (but i doubt)
Harry: Gonna get married to ???? and maybe coming an Auror
Hermoine: Headmistress of Hogwarts (sorry if i spelt anything wrong)
Ron: He could turn bad besides that i have no idea
Neville: I agree with Bubs he will become a Professor of Herbology
The Rest: ??????????????????????

[Nathaniel]

Ron: Not sure
Harry: an Auror
Hermione: This is a hard one. Maybe a teacher, but she might be an Auror as well

[dirty_harry]

every body dies and lord voldemort takes his rightful place has ruler of the world

[Angelina]

I think Harry will die, and if he dies and Ron lives then Ron will feel guilty for the rest of his life and Hermione will have to help him. I think the Weasley's (other than Ron) will move on. Most of the Order will die, and the Malfoy's. Maybe not Draco, I think he might see a bit of error in his ways. I think the only survivors will be most of the Weasley's (except for Percy, I have a feeling about him), Neville, Hermione, Draco.

[DarkLordNev]

Harry: Will be an Auror
Ron: Only thing i see him doing is something with quidditch
Herm: If alive(hope not) Married to Ron and working for the M.O.M
Neville: The next great Dark lord :-).lol. or Teacher at Hogwart Or Auror If he gets better. Like Frank and Alice.
Draco: Life term In Azkaban(sp)
DD: Dead bk6
Snape: Dead bk6
Lupin: Dead bk7
Dursley(sp): Bk7 dudley lives
Ginny: IMO Dead or Azkaban the next wormtail or married to harry or neville if harry is dead.
Tom Riddle: Will become the first dark lord of the after world.

[Sunfish McCaul]

Dirty Harry, I like the cut of your jib. ;)

Now, I'm not entirely sure about the fate of some of the characters... some of 'em are definitely going to die, but who knows who? Provided that Harry's friends live to adulthood, I think that
Ron is going to follow in the footsteps of his dad and end up quite cheerfully in a low-end position in the Ministry, that
Hermione might up as the head of Hogwarts, that
Neville will probably end up as an herbologist somewhere, perhaps wandering the Rain Forest, hopelessly lost, Remembral clutched in hand, trying to remember where he parked the helicopter.
Luna I think will either end up owning the Daily Quibble or working somewhere in the Department of Mysteries.
Draco will probably end up in Azkaban.
Everyone else will end up owning a chocolate factory with Charlie Bucket and be happy until the end of their days sharing their wealth of love and candy with all the unfortunate souls in the world.
Well, that'd be pretty cool at least.
I think a lot of the teachers are going to die in the battle, and the ones who survive will skitter off to the French Riveria or wherever it is that magic folk retire. Where would they retire? :huh:

[AcrylicDrama]

Ron and Hermione will be together, but Ron might be killed in the final battle.

Dumbledore will die.

Harry will live. I think there's a possibility of Ginny playing a role in his life.

The Malfoys will probably be killed too.

Arthur Weasley will become Minister of Magic (maybe before book seven?)

[linzee4life]

Harry- Auror married to Ginny
Ron- Probably guidditch(sp?) and married to Hermione
Hermione- Auror married to Ron
Ginny- Maybe and auror too she has show skills oh and married to Harry
Neville- Herbology teacher
Voldemort- Dead
Draco- dead
Luna- ?? maybe working for the quibbler(sp)
Fred & George- Joke shop, but more matured
Percy- Dead
Bill and Charlie- ??
Mr weasley? Minister of magic
Mrs Weasley Mrs minister of magic? lol

[angel spirit]

Harry will more than likely die in the end of the series.

J.K. probably doesn't want to be pestered to write more books because Harry lives. Fans will just get out-of-control and start demanding more and more books.

I mean it's really silly to keep writing more and more books. What would you call it?

In order now...

Harry Potter and perils of College
Harry Potter, Professional Quidditch Player
Harry Potter and his third Divorce
Harry Potter and his mid-life crisis
Harry Potter on Social Security

[glugunkwen]

when did JKR say that? If she has, then there definetly will be no chance of her writing another in a few years time.

In an interview, JKR said she has already written the epilogue for the 7th book, and it will explain what happens to all the characters.

[Venus_77]

Harry will get married for sure! It's either with Hermione, Ginny or Luna. (your pick) If they'll have a child, Ron will be godfather. While Hermione will be godmother.

Ron will be married to Hermione or Luna (insert your your pick). And Harry will be godfather and Hermione will be godmother to their daughter/son.

I don't think Hermione would be a teacher. She would be better off as an Auror. Just like Harry and Ron.

Fred and George's Joke shop will be a sucess. Putting Zonko's out of business.

There will be new elf-rights. Due to Hermione's hard work and perseverance on S.P.E.W.

And a new werewolf rule.

[Albusdaughter]

Dumbledore - dies in a blaze of glory

McGonagall - becomes headmistress

Arthur Weasley - voted Minister of Magic heralding a new age of kindliness to muggles and magic creatures who have been hitherto denied their rights.

Dobby - either becomes Harry's elf in a paid, wearing clothes kind of way and lives happily to a ripe old age OR becomes the first elf working for the Ministry.

Lupin - finds a job, maybe even finally a woman!

Hermione said in OotP careers advice chapter that she wanted to do something 'worthwhile' maybe connected with SPEW. I can see her working for the Ministry under Arthur's regime (maybe eventually senior undersecretary to the minister - the opposite of Umbridge!) drafting nice legislation. Maybe also researching new spells or writing books and eventually a spell of teaching at Hogwarts replacing McGonagall as Head of Gryffindor House - maybe eventually becoming Headmistress. Our Hermione is destined for greatness! Oh and married to Ron too.

Ron - married to Hermione. Possibly working for the Department of Magical Games and Sports - eventually rising to be the Head of Department. Not a mega-career, but well-liked and well-respected.

Fred & George - 'Weasley's Wizard Wheezes' becomes the definative wizarding joke shop beloved by generations of Hogwarts students. They become mega-rich, never marry and become the BEST uncles imaginable to the hordes of Weasleys who descend from the others! Eventually leave their joke-shop empire to a son of Ron and Hermione (much to Ron's amusement and Hermione's outrage).

Percy - dies in the second war - only mourned by Molly Weasley

Mrs Weasley - happy as a grandmother to hordes of grandkids

Neville - makes a career using Herbology somehow, perhaps breeding Mimbulus Mimbletonias or whatever they were. Marries Luna who takes over the Quibbler from her dad. They have the bizarrest household in the wizarding world!

Draco Malfoy - survives the war but the family reputation is much sullied. Marries pug-faced Pansy Parkinson, has several pug-faced brats, and mutters darkly a lot about 'that Harry Potter' and plots revenge...

And finally our hero

Harry - Turns down an offer to play pro quidditch and trains as an auror. Tries to keep a low public profile despite being the greatest wizard of his generation and becoming a much sought after chocolate frog card! Marries Ginny and gets the family he never had. Has a spell as DADA teacher at Hogwarts later in life where students say things like 'he knows man!'. At a ripe old age finally succumbs to years of public pressure to write his story (having resisted for so long with memories of Lockhart uppermost), Promises to publish 7 books calls the first; Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone...

[FoxyDoxy]

[voldemolt14]

Harrys Gonna shaving his head! oh and he'll turn evil.......

Hermione decides become minister for magic and also turns evil

Ron tries to be evil but fails misrably........

[jstanothaname35]

i think thats anyones best guess :)

[Albusdaughter]

Harrys Gonna shaving his head! oh and he'll turn evil.......

Hermione decides become minister for magic and also turns evil

Ron tries to be evil but fails misrably........

:cool: Love it!

If Harry shaved his head he could never conceal that scar again!! More likely Hermione will get the razor, she won't have the worry about her bushy hair then.

Love you signature too voldemort14 - being a baddie is just work, work work!

[FizzingWhizboy]

Regarding Hermione, I have always had this gut feeling that she is going to be an author. J.K. Rowling has said numerous how she relates to Hermione. After the war, many people she cares for will be dead, including Harry. She will get an idea that to show her respect to Harry and others who died, she will write a series of books about Harry, about his life through his seven years of Hogwarts. That would be cool and would be a really interesting twist to Hermione's career.

[voldemolt14]

:cool: Love it!

*Laughs off chair*

That was exellent thanks. Hermione does deserve the razor :rotfl:.

[vitacus]

I'm leaning towards the thought that before any of the characters would take a job at Hogwarts as a Professor, they'd first have careers outside for life experience.
Hey, picture Fred and George Weasely after decades of being rich and famous businessmen return to Hogwarts as Professors.
Characters with living legend histories like Albus Dumbledore. Faces on Chocolate Frog cards. All the cool prestigious stuff like that. Celebrity is as... okay, no more of that nonsense rambling.

[coolalien312]

well, GoF, Ron want Moody(impersonater) to tell him that he wil make a good auror
as for Hermione, I always thought she might end up as Headmistress if good old Dumbledore ever dies. Or she might become the MoM...

Wow. VERY creative. I have to say that I agree with everything except for Fred and George. I think that they will get married and have lots of children. Also, I disagree with Molly Weasley. I think that she will be known throughout the wizarding world for her greatness in helping the cause.

[linzee4life]

Hermione will probably end up being an Auror, but I don't think she will give up on S.P.E.W. altogether. Maybe she will change some things in the wizarding world.

[free_girl]

Hermione will be editor in cheif at the daily prophet, only producing news worthy news and of course giving the facts about the "real harry potter" not some junk. Ron will probaly be an auror and harry the same making a undefeatble dou. :tu:

[story]

Hermione - Writer of Harry Potter the untold story
Harry - Writer of How to get ahead in the Wizarding world
Ron - Writer of How to get ahead in betting

Throw a party - with lots of stormtrooper helmets.
