10 OVERLOOKED Careers in Harry Potter's Wizarding World - Harry Potter Explained

[@HarryPotterTheory]

What type of wizarding career path would YOU go down? What video do you want next? Leave a comment a down below!

[@iimax_9135]

What career path would YOU choose?

[@Benjirmen]

Magizoologist

[@drdreddmanofmystery9482]

I'm curious about the Unspeakables.

[@Timberwolf69]

My choice would be broombuilder.

[@just_kit1402]

Potions maker

[@HamkkeTogether]

I'm not the only one wanting a HP Series about Bill Weasley adventures curse-breaking amazing and hidden places right?

[@SerenaSilverMoon]

LOL The second that I read that the Indiana Jones theme music started playing in my head. I'd want it to start when he was still in school, how he picked his job and how he went about getting it and becoming as good as he is. I think that'd be really fun to watch. Like he did it originally to get away from his mom but ended up loving it, something like that.

[@zellafae]

Also would be nice to have a movie about the marauder’s

[@truerain1752]

Yes.

[@U.K.N]

Ur right

[@yyyyure2425am]

I want that too

[@zerastardust1712]

I hadn't put that much thought into it before. After seeing this, you've convince me that curse breaking is what I would want to be. It being lucrative is nice, but what really sells it is that it probably the closest that there is to being "Magical Indiana Jones".

[@SerenaSilverMoon]

LOL Would you get the hat and a magic whip too? If you do, don't forget the cooling and sticking charms so that you never overheat and/or lose it like Indy almost always seems to do. Make sure your bag looks like his, but it tricked out better then Newt's or Hermione's were. Does anyone know if there's a translation charm or something to help when in new places? Would come in VERY handy for the "Magical Indiana Jones'" out there.

[@georgeharris6851]

Yeah, but this may be more dangerous than being an auror.

[@normansmith9110]

Do a video on magical jobs that involve interaction with Muggles. I can think of a few: • Obliviator • Magical Accidents and Catastrophes Squad •Auror (Dark wizards often end up in the Muggle world. They must go their and arrest them.) • Hogwarts Professor (As they have to meet with Muggle-born kids and their Muggle families.) • Minister of Magic (Has to meet with the Muggle Prime Minister.)

[@benjaminacuna8013]

The fact that hair dressing, and magical cooking or even broom repair to name a few were not explored is ghastly, much the same with magic custodians or plumbers. Then again most people in Harry Potter wanna be cops which is weird

[@spaceodds1985]

I know right. All the jobs in the magical world seem to be either in the service of the Ministry or St Mungo’s… Fred and George were an exception.

[@danielsmith225]

I always figured that kind of stuff would be carried out with a wand

[@FrostDJakki3529]

Wtf?? You have a weird interest sir. Those are not jobs, but they all can be done by magic. But for those that can afford it. It would be done by house elf. By all means do the job yourself i doubt you'd get paid for it.

[@mallorys.8066]

Filch is tech a custodian

[@camwyn256]

I'd love to be a Master of the Custodial Arts

[@avalonkemi]

I'd want to be a magical portrait painter! Like the ones in Dumbledore's office, where the subject can impart some of their knowledge and personality!

[@jayrey5390]

I certainly would love to hear more about the various other careers of the wizarding world and the economy and lifestyle and society in general in fact. So yes please! More of this!

[@morrigankasa570]

I agree, also my career choice would be a combination between Alchemist & Troll Trainer who in free time also studied/experimented with Potions:)

[@solomonwiggins8815]

I absolutely love all of your videos, it's so funny that every time one of your videos come out I creek out when I see it haha. Love you man, also I would love to be a wand maker or a potions master.

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Thanks for all of your support! Good choices ⚡

[@kitchenwitchin3143]

I’m a professional dog trainer by trade and I’d have to go with Magizoologist...each magical creature has their own preferences, capabilities and drives. I was shocked and dismayed when I saw the dragon guarding Gringotts...there are FAR better ways to train and house creatures...any creatures, magical or non-magical. Positive punishments are so unnecessary 😎

[@sit-insforsithis1568]

Unless it’s a dementor lol

[@SerenaSilverMoon]

Some of the job kinda seem like you might need another job just to help out. Like your main job is a Magizoologist but you have a side hustle as a Kneazle breeder or do what Newt did and write books. Or do something completely different like from being a Magizoologist, like Herbology, though that might also help with your main job.... but still.... Or being a bookseller or accountant on the side?

[@Thecenterofmyworld]

@Stephen's Epic World the porblem is that the dragon in Gringotts is after Newts time when they should have known better then to treat a magical beast like that so magizoologist is still greatly needed even in present day in the wizarding world

[@moonstar312]

I'd love to hear more about other magical careers and jobs! I love hearing about what an everyday life for witch or wizards would be like! For myself, I wouldn't mind doing something with magical plants/ingredients growing, harvesting, or gathering for potion making or woods and cores for wands!

[@SerenaSilverMoon]

You want to be a Herbologist, just not a teacher. You could provide stock to the potion shops and sale wholesale direct to clients.

[@Lysandra_Bouquet]

I’d love to be a healer. I find magical healing really fascinating even if we don’t see it in great detail in the series.

[@dawnieangel76]

I'd love to be a healer, but I've always been fascinated by the wandmakers. I'd love to hear how you'd learn to become one.

[@mk_9116]

Man... Your titles are next level! You always find unique questions that makes us really want to know the answer to them. Anyway keep it up, because if the questions stayed like this you'll never run out of viewrs!

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Glad you like them!

[@harryboyes2812]

When I worked as a maintenance man at a girls high school, for some reason I was nicknamed Professor Boyes, care of Magical Creatures teacher. I thought that was pretty cool. I've always preferred the company of animals over people, so I'd be the magizoologist.

[@andrenertz1685]

sometimes I wan‘t to watch an harry potter movie but then I start watching your vids instead and I just can‘t stop. Keep up the great work, I love harry Potter and your videos are like an extension to my so loved harry Potter world.

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Glad you like them!

[@paridhigupta]

Here are the 10 magical professions in the form of a list (I do recommend watching the entire video for detailed descriptions) Activist Alchemist Apparation examiner Bartender Magical Creatures Breeder Curse-breaker Dragonologist Healer Duellist Troll trainer Professions which weren't in the video's list (+ Auror + Professor +Quidditch Player +Quidditch commentator +Business/ shop owner + Wandmaker)

[@ravenregards]

I would like to be a shopkeeper at Hogsmeade, anything really such as a novelty shop or a bakery.

[@spaggymerbles]

Always wanted to be a Curse Breaker, specialising in magical animals. In other words, I wanted to be a Curse Breaker, but I'd rather do Care of Magical Creatures than Arithmancy in my 3rd year (though I believe Arithmancy was only required for the Gringotts job application). Addition: I'd also do Study of Ancient Runes, but definitely not Divination, as a second 3rd year subject choice.

[@Kuyr1Fx]

Congrats on 500k !!!

[@ucasl8179]

I always wanted to work at Ollivanders or be a Qudditch Chaser that played for the Ballycastle Bats

[@dicyanoacetylene6220]

I don't think I'd go down any of these stated paths, possibly alchemist as something that always hangs me up is that whenever alchemy has the spotlight in fictional media, they always frame the creation of something that turns lead (one of the least pure metals in alchemical texts) into gold (one of the most pure), and then leave it at that when there was one metal that held an even higher regard than gold when it comes to alchemical purity: platinum, the most esteemed metal that is virtually never touched in media. The only example that I can think of is in Legend of Kora where they make mechs out of platinum to thwart metal benders because it's too pure for them to manipulate. If I was to be any of the jobs you listed, it would probably be an alchemist trying to go that extra step and find a way to turn other metals into platinum. Other than that, I think I'd be most interested in spellcraft, and the roll language plays. Not just the aspect of magic comes from your native language's root language, but what about the root language of other languages, could that work? Or the root language of a root language, given the area where Latin and Greek come from, would saying the spell in Linear B, or even Linear A work? Some media (mostly DC comics as far as I'm aware) depict the verbal component of spells to be a command in your native language, but said backwards, whether "no a drow yb drow sisab" (on a word by word basis) or "ecnetnes elohw eht" (the whole sentence), does that work in the Harry Potter universe? What about the verbal component of the spell being a command said in an ancient language backwards? My career path would be trying to answer these questions.

[@edopronk1303]

I like those. I certainly agree with the alchemist part. I would also think that for all the potion brewing and other magical activities, metals have to be transformed and that sounds like alchemy for me

[@susankuhn4510]

I’ve been a massage therapist for 18 years and a reiki master for 12 years, so, I think I would be in the healer business. Thank you for this video.

[@dragontear1967]

A Dragonologist would be a dream job for me, but I'd be happy owning an inn, cooking for travelers n local wizards! Money isn't everything 😉🧙‍♀️

[@thulcandra1975]

I was always a little disappointed that none of the characters, main, secondary, or whatnot ever went into wand making. I realize it's highly specialized and there weren't many wand makers. But I was always surprised that no one wanted to at least try to apprentice in after the surprise twist of an all-powerful wand with skeptics like Hermione having to accept such a thing as something more than a fairy tale.

[@lahavzaken6638]

Magical Historian would be fun

[@joshuaott7783]

I wonder how much you could make, doing underground troll fighting? I bet there would be a great market for that and enough to make a goblin jealous.

[@makaihana975]

"Distilling an acid that was strong enough to dissolve anything" Good luck trying to find a container to store it 😂

[@princeprinston5218]

Amazing you should make a second video of this👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@blakeshearer4023]

I still would either be a professor, or I think what I would really want to do is be a Wandmaker. I think the wand lore is fascinating and I love reading on wand woods, and wand cores. I would love to experiment with that!

[@Nemivicous]

Wow what a creative video! U r the best KZbinr

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Gosh, thank-you so much ☺

[@saintzeroinfinity]

If this an option than I’d choose to be in the entrainment industry trying to educate nomaj’s on wizard culture or a wizard ambassador to the muggles.

[@1Katakana]

I'd definetly would want to try to be a dueller. Possibly a breeder on the side in case the 1st career doesn't earn me enough. I certainly wouldn't mind a part 2 video with this topic.

[@BjornV1994]

Seeing how I decided to study chemistry and works as a Lab Assistant, it is very likely that I would go in the direction of a potioneer. Going by the variety of potions in Harry Potter, it does strike me as an interesting field to work in (though odds are, if I had a teacher like Snape, he killed any interest in the field). Magizoologist would be a fine second option.

[@di3486]

@@di3486 Thanks, I often miss that in translation (from dutch to english). I will corrected it.

[@di3486]

@@BjornV1994 To your merit, English is definitely easier to learn than Dutch!

[@BjornV1994]

@@di3486 No argument there, it is just that even in English, I still think in native tongue sometimes, particularly with words that mean the same and have very similar spelling.

[@ethanomcbride]

I would just go rogue and use magic to improve life on the muggle world via subtle social manipulation

[@Kasha0211]

I would love to hear more about this I found it quite interesting!

[@chiquitalove05]

i was always drawn to either the healing part of it but also magical cooking is still on my top spot of my list

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

I would want to come up with enchantments for objects. There are all kinds of cool items like sneakoscopes, wizard's chess kits, and omnioculars, and I'd bet that creating these items would be like electronics engineering in the muggle world.

[@edopronk1303]

This! I missed this in the list.

[@tanjabrauer6391]

Love it! I would do something with creating and repairing tapestries. My lifelong research would be dedicated to solving the mystery of the invisibility cloak and trying to create one.

[@soulwagon1251]

For me, working at Ollivanders learning the art of wand making is where I would be

[@UltimateSpider1385]

The two careers that I'll do are Quiddich and being a Magizoologist like Newt Scamander.

[@FrostDJakki3529]

I would try to be a quidditch player and use the winnings to fund my travels to be a Magizoologist. 😁

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I think I would love to be a Magizoologist!!! I’ve always loved being out in nature and I’ve always loved animals!! I would really love to see a vid done on more careers of the wizarding world!!

[@edopronk1303]

As an alchemist I would try to make more rare earth elements. Or try to build stuff like Molly her clock, so I would definitely try to study alchemy.

[@MsRenachan]

I always thought I'd go along the Alchemist or Healer route, but I think a Potions Mistress would also be fun, and then open my own apothecary.

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

I think being a treasure hunter and using my powers to track down magical artifacts would be pretty cool.

[@MrTremagnus]

It would be so cool to be an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries

[@taltroshin7933]

As a future doctor, naturally I am drawn to the Healing profession. I am currently reading the 5th book where this profession is explained in detail and I am just so disappointed how they overlooked it in the movie making. Honestly it would bring so much more light and colour to the Wizarding World just simply showing of their main hospital and some of the healing properties. We see it so little with Madam Pomfrey in Hogwarts and it gives and idea of a simple school nurse but it so not! As even Hermione mentioned to Ron, it is a profession for very advanced wizards and witches.

[@ginantsfan5]

I'd like to be ether a: 1. Defense Agents the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts!!!! 2. Engineer of the Hogwarts Express!!!!!! 3. Quidditch Referee!!! 4. Head of magical games and sports!!!!!! 5. Wandmaker (maybe start out as an apprentice to Mr. Olivander!!!!!!!) 6. Bartender at ether the 3 broomsticks or the hogshead!!!!!!! 7. A news reporter for the Daily Proffit (Not like Rita!!!!!!!)

[@barbiquearea]

As a programmer I wonder if there are jobs that involve enhancing objects to behave certain ways? Like say someone wants to charm their toys to come to life and engage with them but don't know how, could they hire someone to do it for them but for a fee?

[@Wi-Fi-El]

Honestly if I could have a job in the wizarding world, I'd probably want to be a craftsman. It may not be as glamorous or lucrative as curse breaking, but I bet I could make a beautiful broom or quill, and I would seem insignificant to dark wizards like Voldemort so I could help the good guys low-key

[@elizabethoneill8612]

[@ellagoreyshorrorstories7524]

After I read the Harry Potter books, especially the last one, I thought it would be interesting to be a wand maker. Then I thought what courses would you need at Hogwarts? Herbology, so you'd know what trees to carve them from. Care of Magical Creatures so you can obtain things like unicorn hair and phoenix feathers for the wands' cores. Charms and Transfiguration so you know spells very well.

[@mattbarrett41]

I’d make magical objects such as wands. But wands are recognizable and limited. I’d go for the same power as a wand in jewelry

Here's a wizard money making scheme: - Gringotts allows exchange of muggle money for wizard money, because muggle-borns exist. - you can trade about 5 USD for a Galleon - 1 Galleon is about 2 grams of pure gold - 1 gram of gold is worth about 55 USD - *Profit* You're not even breaking the Law. You're just abusing a loophole in the system. You could even bring Galleons to a pawn shop and say they're old medieval coins and get MORE money from them.

[@truerain1752]

Alchemist,Wandmaker and Potion maker.

[@HirokazuTakeda]

idk I would want to do wand crafting mostly because wands should be an extension of the user and should be able to adapt to the user's will. Turning it into a bracer when not in use and calling it to its normal shape ready to use. Finger replacement, enough said. there are many more ideas that I have had and I am sure other have had as well.

[@channelgyarados]

over the course of the career’s in the wizarding world these career’s find what is interesting in title of it that’s cool and would be interested, dragon tamer, unspeakable, azkaban security guard and potioneer, but should i pick one i was thinking potioneer, but i think a azkaban security guard sounds better, plus azkaban is awesome. i will not be afraid there!

[@modelermark172]

What about an Apothecary? Someone has to make magical potions and prepare ingredients for potions used by other mages. A related field would be the Farmers and Herbologists, who grow the magical plants to be prepared for these potions and ingredients. Not only would these tasks be time consuming and tedious work for the average wizard or witch, they could even be done by muggle / no-maj spouses or even squibs. That said, I imagine that most work in the Wizarding World would be relatively 'mundane,' such as manufacturing, store clerks, and other service work. Not part of the "Potterverse," but in "Charmed" and "The Wizards of Waverly Place," the Halliwell and Russo families are involved in the hospitality industry, with little if any actual magic being used. The "Addams Family" are shown to be venture capitalists, who are heavily (and successfully) invested in all businesses, both Magical and No-Maj. Plus, in some iterations, Gomez Addams is shown to be an attorney on the side. Getting back to "Harry Potter," an email friend in the UK suggested to me that the Malfoys are probably Landed Gentry, who live off the rents they collect to sustain their (Victorian) Aristocratic lifestyle. I also get the idea that the average wizard or witch would want as little contact with the MoM and MACUSA Aurors and Officials as possible, as they are likely to 'ding' them for sundry Statute of Secrecy violations that would involve heavy fines. I can even imagine that typical wizards and witches may even fear them only slightly less than Dark Wizards, and would just want to be left alone in their day to day lives.

[@Bricksgaming710]

A master thief getting invisibility cloak or learn how to become invisible like Dumbledore aren't even try and become an animagus but I don't think I would have the patience for that lol. Or get one of those little guys like newt has and fantastic beasts that steal all the gold and then just live in a briefcase that's magical like nuts 🤣
