College Candy recently sent the Harry Potter cast to colleges within the US: due to our love of the series, we couldn’t resist doing the same! The Harry Potter crew is getting internships and joining the working world-we know they can master Transfiguration, but is there a spell to help work an Excel spreadsheet? Microsoft calculatus, anyone?
Luna Lovegood-NASA Internship Program
Luna’s out of this world; working with the space program wouldn’t require her to travel much further. Perhaps she can launch a Dirigible Plum into outer space!
Fred and George Weasely- Funny Or Die
We think Will Ferrel and the Weasely twins would get along just fine-working at Funny or Die would allow their collective comedic genius to flourish. It would be great if the twins created a spin-off of their own–they do love entrepreneurship and creating their own companies.
Neville Longbottom- Duke Botanical Gardens
Let’s hope they don’t grow bubotubers and Mandrakes at the Duke Botanical Garden. Nevertheless, Neville’s knack with plant life will help him tremendously in this competitive internship program
Cho Chang- Fashion Magazine
Cho’s pretty and popular among her friends-and as she’s a Ravenclaw, we know she’s smart, too. Working in the magazine world requires smarts and the ability to stay on top of fashion and media trends.
Draco Malfoy- BP (Beyond Petroleum)
You could say that Malfoy already “interns” for Voldemort, and an oil spill seems within Voldemort’s repertoire. We’re just making the next logical conclusion, here.
Ron Weasely- Intern for the San Francisco Giants
Ron’s a people-person, loves sports, and has a logical “chess player’s” attitude-he’d be perfect for an internship in baseball! The fact that the orange of the Giants gear is the same color as Ron’s hair is just an added perk.
Hermione Granger- Researcher at an international think tank.
She’s clever, book smart, and an excellent researcher-therefore, she’d excel at strategic problem solving. We also hear she has quite the talent for international affairs-remember her boyfriend Viktor Krum, the Bulgarian Quiddich star?
Harry Potter- Intern for a Silicon Valley startup
Harry’s a leader, bold, and never afraid to back down. He’s also a little nerdy and lives on risk. He’d therefore work really well in an innovative start-up environment, attempting to solve the world’s problems with technology on his side. Move over, Google: Harry would ensure his employees “don’t be evil!”
