Magical Trades? - Bella Scrimgeour - May 2, 2018

What are examples of "magical trades" (whether in HP canon or something you can think of~) beyond wand-making, broom-making, and metal-charming? I need a magical trade for a character and idk if I'm into any of those three!

Any muggle trade that can be made cooler via magic — toymaking, brewing, cauldron smithing, masonry, etc.

I've always kind of headcanoned that you can hire professional illusionists for short term jobs or events. Like for one of "Armando's" parties there were illusory dragons flying around, and Ophelia def hired that out because she didn't even get an OWL in Charms :P

Also any magical item you can think of would need to be created and maintained by a magical craftsman, so "pensieve peddler" could totally be a trade. Or anything else you can think of.

I wonder if they have an equivalent to the Guild of Master Craftsmen actually? Slightly off-topic but it would be interesting, and a good alternative for WC kids who can't afford Hogwarts, to become apprentices to masters and it's good networking!
