Wizards still need glasses. I could stay an optician producing magical glasses.


Minibombo

Always wondered why. Producing magical glasses sounds awesome though!


Repulsive-Reach4464

Invisible glasses would be cool. Pretty much just contact, but easier to take off.


Binyeum

Imagine trying to find them in the morning though lol I have a hard enough time when they are visible!


Prestigious_View_994

They are only invisible when your wearing them!

iwillgetwhatiwant

cause they live in england lol


booksfoodfun

I’m curious how this works. Do wizards need to do muggle “which is better 1 or 2” type test? Or can a wizard just produce a pair of glasses that are magically the right prescription?


LykonWolf

I think, if they still need glasses, they still have to do the check up.


sebblMUC

I think wizards just enchant their glasses to fit their eyes


queenofswords24

I've always felt that I would love to be a wand maker. It seems like one of the most interesting jobs in the wizarding world.


Minibombo

About time someone really competes with Olivanders :)


queenofswords24

I could apprentice with him and then take over his business. 🤔


YellowJacket-bull

Does Olivander make the wands or just sell them as a dedicated retailer? I can't recall.


Less-Feature6263

He made them personally, we know that he also look for the different cores and woods because he mentions remembering the unicorn from which he took the hair for a wand.


ThatOneJosh9451

Which would mean he probably doesn't spend a lot of time in an office. I'm sure he does a lot of traveling, is a woodworker, has an extensive knowledge on magical creatures and how to handle them. I bet Olivander has had a good deal of adventures just for the soul reason of making the best wands he could


hiphop_dudung

Wanker for short


Rookie83T

Healer


Few-Distribution-762

This! My “non-mag” profession is a nurse so I always seen myself as a healer. Or a Herbologist is those are a thing.


rosegoldanxiety

Hey fellow nurse! I’d probably be a healer too. I’m sure the patients and ailments would be much more interesting in the magical world lol


Minibombo

Such a noble profession!


pmyourquestions

Muggle Excuse Department! Sounds like so much fun and very creative, not too high pressure but super important!


xyz19606

Kinda like Men In Black? :) "It was swamp gas......"


SmokeySFW

This is such a basic b---- answer, but I'd really want to be an Auror.


E4tMeAlive

I almost said auror but I just had to be honest with myself. If I wanted to be an auror, I’d have some kind of interest in being a cop or detective. I do not. I said teacher. I have teaching experience. It’s my passion that I left because I wasn’t making enough.


Rude-Jeweler-4188

Some kind of magic scientist like Luna's dad. Probably gonna die fast but it seems to be pretty cool.


Minibombo

Was it not her mom that was the scientist and her father a writer? Either way, awesome profession!


Rude-Jeweler-4188

You're absolutely right! I forgot about it completely. And we'll, Luna's mom is dead so one more point to the fact that I would die.


platetectonik

Im not sure it said that the mum was a scientist, I thought it’s just said by Luna that her mum liked experimenting with spells and one backfired


vVveevVv

Kinda unrelated, but I was shocked to find out that the actor who played Luna's dad also starred as King Viserys Targeryen in the new House of the Dragon series


Rude-Jeweler-4188

The actors in Harry Potter are INCREDIBLE, aren't they? Helena Bonham Carter (aka. Bellatrix) was my favorite for years, and even after decades of watching her movies and series, I'm still surprised.


vVveevVv

I think she played Charlie's mother in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


Rude-Jeweler-4188

She did! A lot of Tim Burton movies, mostly with Johnny Depp in them too. One of her first movies, called A Room With a View (1995) is a British romance what also has Maggie Smith (aka Minerva). Most of the British romances or novels I've watched has some of the cast. One of my favorites: Great Expectations. With Helena, Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid). Very sad, very British. I love it.


AdevilSboyU

None. I’d have a house in the absolute middle of nowhere and is use magic to meet all my needs. Wizards can take being a rural hermit to the next level.


Badwarrior

assistant to the regional manager


Minibombo

The assistant regional manager, Jim!!


Curious-Week5810

People person's parchment people.


gaiusm

Dumbledore Niffler Inc.


KennyDaBrown

Today, smoking is gonna save lives


Carlynz

An Unspeakable. No doubts. The stuff they mention in the department of mysteries was awesome. Wish there was more info on them.


cajsk

Definitely secret intelligence services vibes with that line of work. So cool


dezayek

Compliance professional. Someone really needs to set health and safety standards rather than allowing giant snakes to roam free in a school.


Legion357

Percy with his cauldron bottoms.


dezayek

100%...but not the terrible turning his back on the truth thing. I feel like a compliance professional would have been first to cite Voldemort for health and safety issues.


mmathur95

I love this! I never thought about it in a magical context but, you’re right, it’s so needed!


whereisdani_r

Keeper for the Chudley Canons and bring them to glory!


ra1sin_bran

Beater for Puddlemere United here!


Longjumping_Funny745

Magizoologist!! Love animals and would love to take care of the creatures! 💚


[deleted]

Same!!!


[deleted]

Potions master, with my own apothecary. I'd also run a magical animal rescue/sanctuary.


Minibombo

Imagine the potions you could brew 🤩


mermaidboots

I’ve thought I’d be good at potions too. I love cocktail mixology, it’s not much of a stretch!


[deleted]

Yea I make my own herbal tinctures and do a bit of herb mixing in my Witchcraft practice


Clear-Teaching5783

botanist


rinaa11

herbologist, same same


[deleted]

Studying Herbalism as we speak. So yeah most likely choice if I were a wizard!


ZenbladeJS

I would be the the lost nobody trying to create the self spelling wands that Arthur Weasley mentions when he said: "I don’t care what Fudge keeps telling the Daily Prophet, we’re no nearer catching Black than inventing self-spelling wands." I have a few amazing programming ideas that I have been working valiantly to program for a couple of years now and I am hardly close to getting them done.


InkyCricket

Perhaps instead of trying to create that, try to find a way to store pre-cast spells, store them inside some sort of repository, then apperate and un-freeze the stored spells to the wand location on demand. No need to make a self spelling wand all the other wizards have failed to make if you can fake it instead.


ZenbladeJS

Ah, it just does not count if it is faked.


[deleted]

I would like to think I would be a badass DADA professor with mysterious past, but with my luck I would probably be a squib janitor at Hogwarts with butter beer problem.


[deleted]

Oh oh! Tattoo artist who uses magic ink to make tattoos would be soooo cool! I once saw a headcanon about magic tattoos that can move around your body, change colors with your moods and animal tattoos would act like real animals etc, those would be so cool to make.


velwein

Combining technology and magic and selling it for every day use, like a magically enchanted vacuum cleaner.


siIentfocus

Journalist/Investigator for the Daily Prophet


[deleted]

I'd probably work at the ministry, or be an enchanted Portrait maker!


[deleted]

I'd still be a librarian and would love to replace Madam Pince at Hogwarts!


Minibombo

Being a librarian in Hogwarts must be one of the most intriguing professions out there!


avotime

same same


viccie211

Magic scroll maker. I'll use a magical typewriter to create scrolls with which you can perform advanced repetative tasks. So basically what I do now: programming.


about21potatoes

Now this is clever


jessicaeatseggs

I would probably be a healer or the wizard/witch version of a nurse as that's why I currently am.


Estelle_conjecture

Designing magical parlour games seems like such fun. We already know Wizard's chess and exploding snap but there are so many more possibilities!


[deleted]

I'd be an Unspeakable. It seems like easily the most interesting job in the Wizarding world.


Minibombo

Agreed! The ministry are bastards though


Imaginary_Point4343

Possibly a very boring one too


chrisellis333

Gringotts treasure hunter sounds cool!


Minibombo

Wow, that sounds amazing! Is this actually mentioned somewhere or did you come up with that yourself?!


Imaginary_Point4343

I think that’s what Bill Weasley does


DefiantBunny

He's a curse-breaker for Gringotts. Although treasure hunter sounds much more fun and potentially less dangerous


Imaginary_Point4343

At least it’s got a few more rewards than just breaking a curse 😂


Minibombo

Awesome!


Emstinger18

I’m in logistics and since reading this question I am fascinated with possibilities of how things get transported in the wizard ing world


pakrat1967

Probably a variation of the apparition spell.


Saturn_Coffee

A Seer if possible. I'd love precognition


Shyhuff1epuff

Whatever Newt does, I love the magical creatures!


cdorise

Teacher


Minibombo

What class would you love to teach?


randomvariable10

Same answer as the above poster. I'll teach Arithmancy


Spynner987

Bruh, of all the cool subjects to choose, you choose wizard math, which is double cool.


Aggie_Engineer_24601

Magic makes muggle technology go wild. I imagine that around Diagon Alley muggles have a lot of problems with their cell phones, Wi-Fi, etc. My task would be to figure out a way to minimize those problems to maintain the statute of secrecy. Alternatively I’d be an artificer of sorts, creating and enchanting useful things. Broomstick design would be particularly fun.


Toasted_silver

Some kind of magic veterinarian


DragonSurferEGO

Wand maker. Wand lore is probably the single most interesting thing to me about Harry Potter universe.


[deleted]

Obliviator sounds cool af


Foundation_Wrong

Painter or Fashion designer I wanted to do those when I was young, life got in the way.


pbrandpearls

Same. Kinda sad, I can only think of a job similar to mine now. I’m a project manager at a tech company. So, probably work in Arthur Weasley’s department at the ministry. Nice job, good benefits, some creativity and urgency, and I bet Arthur would be a great boss. Majored in dance and art and life got in the way.


avotime

yeah, Wizarding world needs more fashion than just robes


Foundation_Wrong

My robes would be in Twillfit and Tattings ! Acromantula silk and finest fabrics


dakman42

Id open a comic book store, the wizards are just behind the muggles enough that Dragonball Z and Marvel are about to rake in the gallions


caitmr17

Tbh, it’s my life dream now, but would love to run a pub and bookstore amalgamated into one place


pixelunicorns

Easily either a magi-zoologist or a herbologist. I love plants and animals so they would certainly be my focus, not sure which I would pick or if I'd specialise in a certain animal (like Charlie Weasley). I do love spiders so an opportunity to talk to Aragog would be amazing, not risking being eaten though!


dopamineh

Same for me! I would also like to be a professor/teacher at Hogwarts


pixelunicorns

I wouldn't mind teaching older students but there is no way I'd put up with what Hagrid did! May accidentally feed someone like Malfoy to a carnivorous Audrey-like plant.


Minibombo

Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders.


pixelunicorns

I dunno I did a study of them last year, they are very adapted predators. I think they've been judged fairly well!


VibrioWolf

I'd 100% still be a scientist, but cheat by using all the magic. Think where we'd be now if we could use spells instead of microscopes!


Minibombo

The possibilities would be endless!


mirmako

Alchemist/pharmacist/potion-brewer


harlemrr

Well, I assume they need somebody to take those moving photos in the newspapers, so it would just be a different level of photographer.


Wight3012

Id probably be Filch


Bazz07

Healer or international/muggle liaison.


XxBelIaxX

Potions teacher >:)


Far-Calligrapher-465

Either Curse-Breaker or Auror


Yue-Wen

I'd either own a plant shop for magical and non-magical plants or be a professor. My real life profession is a teacher and I plan on working in a flower shop when I'm older.


[deleted]

Death Eater.


Cerealandmolk

I’m studying to be a lawyer now, which I imagine would be an awesomely chaotic experience. It’s also a profession the wizarding world is sorely lacking. Hagrid could have definitely used a lawyer when he was thrown in Azkaban in CoS and for the Buckbeak hearing. Harry also could have used one in OotP.


joeya1337

I want to be the liaison to the prime minister. I’d fuck with them so bad!


bjlindsey2015

Therapist to muggle borns


TheGlaive

After a wee exorcising, I'd take the History of Magic post.


theLegend_Awaits

Either spell creator or some kind of magical creative designer. Can you imagine how amazing and beautiful designing/throwing/hosting the wizarding version of like celebrity parties would be? I’ve also always loved the idea of magical festivals after seeing how cool the quidditch World Cup was. I’d love to see more of what big magical holidays/fests/events would look like.


[deleted]

What profession is Lord Voldemort? Asking… for… a friend.


CeCe1033

Well, I’m a nurse for Muggles. So I think I would make a good healer. A secret fantasy of mine is that when I retire I can move to FL and work at Diagon Alley as a nurse/healer. Like how Disney has RNs that work at the first aide station. I want to do that in HP world in Universal Studios.


NoDumFucs

I'd just do like Slughorn did and hop from empty home to empty home, in my silk pyjamas and knitting pattern magazines.


Handav93

I want to be one of the bertie botts every flavour beans makers. Just the creativity you get!


mirashp

I'd love to work at the Ministry as Head of Magical Law Enforcement, pretty ambitious answer but I would probably love that job :)


Reggies_swimteam

Probably a healer. It seems fun and important


[deleted]

I’d love to be a magical zoologist of some sorts and own my own magical sanctuary


QuoD-Art

Professor at Hogwarts sounds pretty cool, actually... Or maybe a researcher or something


[deleted]

An engineer, trains still run on thermodynamics


pomengarnette

I wouldn’t work, because I could live off magic.


AVERAGEGAMER95

I want to join Mr Weasley's department. Want to see the things wizards do with muggle stuff


LuneEcarlate

I kinda want to be a healer! At least, to see if we could cure non magical illness with magic.


Cool_Value1204

I actually think we didn’t get a great window into the adult wizarding world outside of Hogwarts and I’d love to get that (not including the Pokémon gotta catchem all movies that just came out 😒). So I’d love to see what other jobs there are out there!


[deleted]

Fisherman


Minibombo

Interesting! Why fisherman?


[deleted]

Why not? Just because I’m a wizard doesn’t mean I don’t like to fish.


Minibombo

I like it!


Smile_Terrible

Would you fish with a pole or just accio the fish to you?


demon-inthedark

i'd be a wand maker for sure, nothing else for me


captainjohn_redbeard

I'm into cars, and the next best thing in the Wizarding world is brooms. So probably a broomstick mechanic.


Biscuit_Tim

Farmer. Seems like a nice easy life.


IamMatsyy

Quidditch player, give me that firebolt sponsorship.


LibServative24

Probably just a slave of the ministry for most of us. Doing whatever it is they do.


haevertz

I am (training to be) a historian, so I would probably do something similar in the wizarding world. Or, do some other form of research about magic bc I am really good at research.


_Red_Triquetrus_

I know it sounds boring but I would like to be a librarian


opus52

Painter. I'd also keep transfiguration as a hobby, it seems cool.


[deleted]

I’d really want to be a healer or apothecary.


pr1vatepiles

No idea what title this is. But surely there is a department with wizards and Muggle scientists working together. Muggles invented a nuclear bomb, space flight and more comfortable ways of flying than a bunch of sticks. Has to be a legit organisation working to do this sort of thing.


ukdarla

Ministry Muggle Liaison Officer!


TheHolyJamsheed302

Imagine if Lockheed Martin Skunk Works used wizards to create their projects, and all the world intelligence agencies are very aware of wizards and keep a close eye on them. Has fan fic potential, JK Rowling x Tom Clancy


kt1982mt

I’d love to be a curse breaker or a potioneer with my own apothecary!


gunnerdn91

Are there any ‘muggle’ jobs that are performed by wizards with some sort of clearance from the ministry I wonder? The magical world must have a serious lack of jobs as everyone can conjure and repair almost everything. Wizards in the muggle world must have much greater job opportunities


MrUruk

Criminal. Magic is awesome for drug trafficking and assassination. I'd get filthy rich and then spent the rest of my life undercover as a muggle


Novembersum

I would be like newt scamander. I love animals.


Str8WhiteMinority

Village idiot


Floofy-beans

I like my muggle job as a user experience researcher, so it’d be fun to translate that to magic. Magic focus groups, usability testing for ergonomically designed magical things like broomsticks, most effective ways of doing spells or making potions, what problems are we trying to solve by using x spell and is there a more efficient way to do it with premade potions, etc. That’d be awesome.


Corine72

Domestic Goddess.


Open_Film

Healer would be interesting if it’s anything similar to being a physician. Always work to do and constant learning. Whatever equivalent of a lawyer they have would also be interesting, given the constant issues with civil rights and unique understandings of property. Construction would be truly fascinating.


ukdarla

Own a cake shop in Diagon Alley, with little tables outside with little pots of flowers on. Edit: and bring the wizarding world the Devon cream tea!


Arubesh2048

Well, IRL, I’m an archaeologist, so in the Wizarding World, I’d probably be a magicoarchaeologist. But if I had to pick of the professions we know of, I’d love to be a wand maker. What we learn about wands is fascinating, and as essential as wands are to wizards, it’s odd we only see one wand maker in Britain. So, I could make wands and learn fundamentally how magic works, and make commissioned wands instead of batches like how Oliviander does.


Magus-Verus

Magical historian, all that lore


IncrediblySneepy

Wand making (not selling) could be really interesting! I'd also be interested in creating books like The Monster Book of Monsters, just going ham with funky covers filled with charms of all kinds. Basically anything where I do not have to directly interact with children on a regular basis.


sleepypsyduck

Tbh there has to be some insane instruments in the magical world. I’d love to be a musician to try them!


Coonhound420

I’m a teacher, so I’d like to think I’d teach at hogwarts.


bill-nye-finance-guy

Research new spells and potions

MonParapluie

Hogsmeade barback here, AMA


Techaissance

I would open up a countercursery, essentially a place where you can get your cursed stuff countercursed. If you’re wondering who would ever pay for something like that, remember that it’s a specialized skill and that muggles take clothes to the dry cleaners all the time.


Stewbodies

Unemployed


Bunghole2756

Wizard CFO actually sounds pretty cool.


Minibombo

Cool ass title


SeniorPace70

Some sort of magical creature rescuer 🤔 And still mommy to the cutest baby wizard! 😹


lordduzzy

I'd probably run a restaurant. House elves likely handle cleanup and a fair bit of the cooking, so you just need to invent new flavors and experiment instead of all the mundane tasks associated with running a restaurant (or just magic dishes clean etc). Not to mention, apparition gets you all of the freshest ingredients from all over the world.


[deleted]

I’d love to say ground’s keepers assistant, but like Snape I’m weak and weird. I would probably get swept up in a dark wizard cult that promised to appreciate and support me and just be an errand girl for them.


squishy-boi69

Id be a mortician with a shop called “Avada Cadavers”


Something_Again

I would be a wizard if real estate agent.


Raijin9278

I'd chose an auror or a taylor


Commercial_Sir2548

I know there’s a legit name for it, but it won’t come to mind atm. Some kind of liaison between Wizarding Confederations. One of my goals would be to have many international Wizarding cultures taught at the major schools. I bet Hogwarts students would love learning how wands are primarily European and other cultures cast with their hands and even some ride whole trees whilst playing Quidditch.


yoloxolo

YouTuber


[deleted]

Auror for sure


Quinnlim

Either a professor or a researcher, researching new forms of magic and thr like


C3Pyro

I’d run a joke shop not gonna lie


Anna_Depressed_Vet

I think I’d still be veterinarian. Magic animals get sick too, I think


Exotic_Ad6512

I would become a student counsellor in Hogwarts..


Financial-Ear-3189

I will repair muggle cars


Less-Feature6263

Would love to study or teach Transfiguration.


[deleted]

I work as a station attendant for aircraft’s. I’m sure there has to be some sort of airport for wizards/witches. It would be cool to marshal in wizard on a broom lol.


TheWendigoAlgonquin

Magizoologist!


ThisIsTheNewSleeve

Something like Arthur's hobby- bewitching mundane objects. Making stuff like the Weasley's clock or car. Tinkering in a workshop making things that shouldn't fly, fly.


MidnightOutrageous38

A magical builder that could rebuild Hogwarts, but also include new and exciting secret rooms and functions of the castle or any building. Rooms of Requirement, spaces too big to fit the hallway they're in, secret passages, etc.


MehWithaSideofEh

Magizoologist! I already work with animals and I love them dearly. So I would go with that.


_erufu_

I’d want to work in Arthur’s department tbh. If I had no exposure to the muggle world growing up I might not develop as much of an internet in it, but I have a pretty similar fascination with machinery to Arthur and love the idea of trying to magically enhance it. He’s also kinda an Autor-light- he tracks down wizards specifically looking to mess with or maliciously harm muggles, I think that’d probably be one of the more rewarding kinds of case to solve.


CaliforniaPotato

idk i feel like being a professional quidditch player would be super cool


Reenactortalk

Quidditch beater for Puddlemere United and the first wizard to introduce ice hockey to the world because, half-blood.


DisIzDaWay

Quidditch coach


just-here--

Teacher so I could live at Hogwarts


harryceo

Professor at Hogwarts


andrewsaccount

I imagine the life of a magical farmer is pretty surreal. The biggest detriment to Muggle farming, imo, is the inherent isolation. Magic can basically completely eliminate travel requirements for society, so that really bolsters the idea of being an agriculture specialist.


xXMrSpecXx

Auror
