Wizards of Hogwarts

Making money by writing books was not an idea that Elrohir suddenly thought of.

In fact, while waiting for Ms. Shicoba Wolfe to make a silver basswood wand in Wolfe's wand shop, Elrohir carefully examined the lucrative positions in the wizarding world. We also specifically asked Ms. Wolfe, wand apprentice Beth, Queenie and others for relevant information.

After summarizing, Elrohir roughly divided the employment positions in the magical world into the following categories.

The first category is education positions.

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the cradle of magic that has cultivated wizards throughout North America, has flourished for more than two centuries and is widely regarded as one of the greatest magic education institutions in the world.

Ilvermorny also contains a lot of jobs, including but not limited to principals, professors of various school disciplines, head nurses, etc.

But the first thing Elrohir ruled out was education jobs.

Regardless of whether he is of suitable age or not, or whether he is not a native North American resident, just saying that Elrohir is not a wizard at all, which can completely exclude him from Ilvermorny.

The second category is government jobs.

MACUSA is the main governing body of the American magical society. From the top leader, Ms. Serafina Picquery, President of MACUSA, to the leaders of various organizations below, to the goblins and domestic children at the bottom who work for Congress. Elf, the number of staff in the Magical Congress is absolutely beyond imagination.

According to Elrohir's incomplete observations, the building where the Magical Congress is located: the Walworth Building, has at least hundreds of floors, and each floor is almost filled with working wizards.

The American Magical Prison, where Grindelwald is currently imprisoned, is also a place in need of staff positions.

However, Elrohir still ruled out this type of government position. He was not naturally suitable for working in this type of institution.Moreover, non-human and non-wizard identities in the Magic Congress represent the lowest level of the contempt chain, and there is no way out at all.

The third category is financial positions, specifically Gringotts.

This is a job category completely controlled by goblins. Although goblins sometimes recruit wizards to act as curse breakers, such as Bill Weasley who works in Egypt, considering the relationship between Elrohir and them. Bad relationships were completely eliminated and abandoned.

The fourth category is commercial positions.

This category is very diverse. Judging from what Elrohir observed on the wizarding trading streets of New York, this type of job covers a really wide range of content.

Wandmaker, wandmaking apprentice, book store manager, sales clerk, magical pet store clerk, veterinarian, magic item making store manager, magician's store

In general, these positions are very rich, but they are the kind of jobs that require magic to support them.

And through Elrohir's observation, it was found that in most wizard shops, one wizard can do all the work, because magic is so convenient. To exaggerate, one person can do the job of more than a dozen people. Work.

Elrohir, who does not know magic for the time being, can only reluctantly give up this type of position.

The fifth category is medical positions.

Elrohir only briefly understood this profession from Beth's introduction. The wand apprentice said that when she graduated from Ilvermorny, she had considered whether to work in a magic hospital.

However, positions related to hospitals require either very rich medical knowledge or very strong psychological qualities.Especially since this is a magic hospital, the staff must have sufficient knowledge of Charms, Potions, Herbalism, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. The injuries caused by magic are all kinds of strange. Without sufficient magic knowledge, not only will the patient not be able to recover, but he may even be injured. Let him die immediately, and in serious cases it may even threaten the life safety of the medical staff themselves.

Unless Elrohir wants to be a male nurse serving tea and water, this type of position can be eliminated directly.

Category [-]: entertainment positions.

Including but not limited to news practitioners, editors, reporters, columnists, columnists, photography assistants, column editors, etc., entertainment industry figures, singers, drama actors, etc.

With his handsome face, Elrohir could consider living in the spotlight, but in the end it could only be an alternative.

Category [-], special positions.

Cough

Don't get me wrong, the special positions here do not refer to "special service industries", but to wizards with special talents, such as dragon tamers who work in dragon farms, prophets and seers as the name suggests, and broomstick makers who make broomsticks. etc.

All in all, serious work in the magical world requires sufficient professional knowledge and professionalism, and most of them require the support of superb magic.Otherwise, Muggles and Squibs who cannot cast spells would not become the objects of contempt for orthodox wizards.

However, after thinking about it, Elrohir classified the eighth category of jobs.

Freelance workers.

Famous representatives include: Newt Scamander, magizoologist and publicly funded travel writer.

Yes, Newt did not write the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at his own expense, but was specially commissioned to travel freely to more than 100 countries on five continents, observing magical animals around the world, and understanding their habits and abilities.

Anyway, it's an enviable career.

In addition to Newt, there are actually some more representative freelance workers.

For example, Gellert Grindelwald is a very famous leader of an evil organization. The source of his funds is unknown. Anyway, he must be very rich, or must be very rich.

Another example is the little Tom Marvolo Riddle who has been sent to an orphanage, the future unlicensed self-surgery black magic doctor, and the leader of the Death Eaters, who are also rich.Voldemort was born on December 1926.12.31, [-], the day Elrohir first met Nagini.

There are also some homeless werewolves like Lupin, the shameless housebreaking thief Mundungus, the traditional aristocratic Gaunt family who are sitting on nothing, not the Malfoy family, etc.

Why would Elrohir think of making money by writing books?

First, he is an elf, an elf prince of the Noldor tribe, and his own abilities and qualities are completely sufficient.

Second, he comes from Lord of the Rings Middle-earth and has a good book template.

Third, magic books are really expensive, expensive, expensive

Because of magic, the wizard's material resource consumption has been greatly reduced.

The Growth Spell and Expansion Spell can make plants grow against the laws of nature and grow to an incredible extent.

Although magical transformation cannot create food out of thin air, if you already have some, you can make it transform or even increase it.

The most expensive things in the wizarding world are those rare magic materials, high-end magic props, ancient magic books, creative magic knowledge, and extremely expensive labor costs.

None of the new books Elrohir saw in the magic bookstore were priced below 1 Zhuo Guo, and the best-selling books were all priced between 35 Zhuo Guo.

A well-decorated best-seller, even worth the price of a magic wand

Newt did not directly deny Elrohir's opinion. He was very happy that Elrohir could integrate into wizard society so actively and decided to help Elrohir recommend several book companies after returning to the UK.

Of course, Elrohir also needs to examine the current book market to see if the book Lord of the Rings is suitable for this new world full of magic.
