This department specialised in Quidditch, Gobstones and other wizarding world activities. We got to learn a little bit about it during the Quidditch World Cup, where former player, Ludo Bagman, worked during his post-sporting career. We even got a glimpse of its office in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where the office was described as ‘untidy-looking’ and a wizard was spotted with an armful of brooms.

All in all, this job sounds like a lot of fun for a sports enthusiast and would certainly involve getting tickets to all the big matches. But we imagine, with a dangerous sport like Quidditch to look after, it wouldn’t be all... fun and games.

This department is perhaps most famously known for the fact it is where Aurors work, although it has a series of sub-divisions. It was Harry’s main goal to become an Auror (no surprises after his dealings with Lord Voldemort) which he fulfilled after the events of the Battle of Hogwarts. In his later years, he would go on to become the head of the department.

So, if you want to follow in the footsteps of the Boy Who Lived, defeating the Dark Forces of the wizarding world and helping to attain justice wherever you roam, this is the job to sign up for.

This job requires quick-thinkers and people who don’t get stressed out easily – and the clue is in the title as to why. Jobs within this department include the likes of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, who help sort out situations such as... inadvertently blowing up your Aunt Marge, for example. Those that are particularly adept at Memory Charms may become professional Obliviators.

Basically, this department is for selfless people who know how to tidy up other peoples’ messes – so you need to be made of strong stuff to work here.

From Portkeys to Floo Powder, this department takes care of all the magical ways a wizard or witch gets from point A to point B, and gave us the likes of the Hogwarts Express and the Knight Bus.

Depending on which section you worked in, you could end up developing the next big mode of magical transport – or maybe you’d just end up fining people for unauthorised Apparition. Either way, we imagine this job would require a bit of travel, just from the sheer nature of it.
