Wand maker

Those with wandmaking ambitions will no doubt be hampered by the monopoly that existing wandmakers have in the industry. This field requires an excellent mastery in preparing the wood. Each wand has its own feeling depending on its composition. As a wand channels a witch or wizard’s power and abilities, very often, it’s the wand that chooses the wizard but not the other way around. Even if you are interested in developing your career in wandmaking, the opportunities available can be very little as the knowledge is passed on solely within the same family.


Curse-Breaker

Banking seems a more exciting career option for witches and wizards than it is in the Muggle world: “Are you seeking a challenging career involving travel, adventure, and substantial, danger-related treasure bonuses? Then consider a position with Gringotts Wizarding Bank, who are currently recruiting Curse-Breakers for thrilling opportunities abroad." A Curse-Breaker removes, counters or breaks curses placed on objects or places for a living. Apart from working for the Gringotts, curse-Breakers could also work for the Ministry of Magic, removing curses, hexes and jinxes from illegally bewitched objects.


Healer

Though some might consider a Healer as an equivalence of muggle doctors, magical injuries and illnesses can be a lot more complicated than those sustained by Muggles, so to be a Healer is a big job, especially in a world full of dragons. Aside from that, other magical ailments include artefact accidents, Dementor attacks, creature-induced injuries, magical bugs, potion and plant poisoning, and spell damage. Sadly, not all of those things can be cured with a massive slab of chocolate.


Unspeakable

Employees of the Department of Mysteries are forbidden from discussing their jobs or disclosing any information about their department, hence the name "Unspeakable." It’s hard to describe what a “typical day” of an Unspeakable is like - rumors circulate, but impossible to tell which is true or false.


Magizoologist
