The Wizarding World is full of ordinary and extraordinary professions. There are Aurors, Ministry workers, Diagon Alley shop owners, Dragonologists, Authors, and Professors, just to name a few. Many of the characters in Harry Potter went on to further their studies and work after their time at Hogwarts.
But what if they had the same goals and personality but were muggles? Would their contributions be relatively the same? Or would some have to alter their profession to fit into the realm of muggle possibility?
10 Neville Longbottom - A Botanist
It's no surprise that Neville Longbottom would thrive as a Botanist in the muggle world. He is, after all, the Herbology professor at Hogwarts. A Botanist is an expert in the scientific study of plants. Neville could also put his plant knowledge into Floristry. He could also teach Biology or broaden his field of specialty and study Entomology and Mineralogy.
This career is based on one of Neville's passions and the possibilities are endless. Neville could also be an inspiring motivational speaker, as shown in his ability to stand up for what is right and remain hopeful despite his experiences.
9 Luna Lovegood - A Cryptozoologist
Luna Lovegood believes in creatures seen and unseen. She pursues discovery and believes in the existence of magical creatures that others think are extinct or never existed. In the muggle world, these people are called Cryptozoologists.
Instead of looking for Nargles and Wrackspurts, Luna would be looking to prove the existence of muggle myth and legend, such as Bigfoot, The Lochness Monster, and Sasquatch. Luna could even have her own jewelry shop on the side, creating unique and indie styles.
8 Fred & George Weasley - Inventors/Theme Park Developers
Although many would expect Fred and George to become stand-up comedians, their humor is more within the realm of creation and pranks. Fred and George have flare and charm so they can be both hosts and inventors. Although a Joke Shop is possible in both the Wizarding World and the muggle world, the muggle world would be tamer than what the twins enjoy making.
So, combining all their talents, the twins could run a very successful and brilliant amusement park brimming with their very own inventions.
7 Severus Snape - Saucier/Critic
Severus is a Potions professor, which could loosely translate to a Chemistry teacher in the muggle world, but Snape could also be several other things. He could do something he doesn't openly despise. If only his voice were to be factored, Snape would make a brilliant voice-over narrator.
However, Snape's attention to detail and precise actions could give him the ability to be a saucier or a food critic. He is critical of others and seeks perfection yet is knowledgeable in the art of balance. A Saucier is someone who specializes in the preparation of sauces, who understands the ratio of ingredients needed to "ensnare the senses."
6 Minerva McGonagall - A Principal
McGonagall's Wizarding World job as Headmistress has a muggle equivalent - a principal. However, before McGonagall became a Transfiguration professor and eventual Headmistress of Hogwarts, she was involved in Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic.
That means she has the skills required and valued for a position in law enforcement. McGonagall's ethics, strength, and experience mean she has a wide range of possibilities in the muggle world.
5 Voldemort - A Herpetologist
Tom Riddle was incredibly intelligent, a brilliant wizard, but Voldemort would only use his mind for power, obliterating noble ambitions for his own gain. In the unlikely event that Voldemort would allow himself to be involved in the muggle world. Voldemort would find only true companionship in the creatures of the land, those who would form true allegiance.
A Herpetologist is someone who studies and cares for reptiles and amphibians. After the loss of Nagini and the defeat of his most prized and historically valuable items, Voldemort would isolate himself to the shadows and seek the intelligence of those of cold blood.
4 Dumbledore - A Philosopher
Dumbledore is as wise as he is mistaken. He faces the preconceptions of life and what he believes can alter personal and shared pathways. Dumbledore's trauma and grief burrowed into his being, making him incredibly attuned to introspection.
He was compassionate and provided his wisdom in an effort to help those he saw shared his own parallels. He attempted to understand the world that had become and the nature of the individuals living in that reality, as well as how they chose to exist.
3 Ron Weasley - An Investigator/Owns A Food Truck
Ron is an Auror in the Wizarding World, but he has two loves, and one of those is food. Why not have two careers? An investigator and a food truck owner. Coming from a big family and a mother who made incredible meals, Ron Weasley loved and appreciated his food. This could be seen as he thoroughly enjoyed his meals in The Great Hall.
Ron is rustic and genuine, authentic and knowledgeable. Another possibility is that Ron could also be a professional chess player. His skills were praised in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when he passed McGonagall's wizard's chess obstacle.
2 Hermione Granger - Human Rights Lawyer
Hermione found herself working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the Ministry despite her comment to Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Her career in the muggle world would also be one of noble intentions.
Hermione would be a Human Rights Lawyer, advocating on behalf of those whose rights have been violated. Hermione, whose compassion and intelligence have guided her, has always been repulsed by inequality, wanting to support, empower, and raise voices.
1 Harry Potter - Criminal Investigator
Harry becomes an Auror and the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement after The Battle of Hogwarts. Aurors continue the search for truth and justice and apprehend criminals.
In the muggle world, an Auror is basically a criminal investigator. Harry could be an agent in the FBI, CIA, MI6, or Scotland Yard. There is no doubt Harry would be promoted, excelling in his field.
