__Warning: this article contains spoilers for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.__

## If you’ve always been incredibly ambitious... you’d work as the Minister for Magic 

Do you always have 14 hobbies on the go at once? Were you that kid in exams always asking for more paper? Are you constantly worrying about how to improve upon yourself? First of all, we think you’re doing great, and secondly, we think you’re doing so great, you’d have the potential to take on the top job in the wizarding world.  

The wizarding world has had several Ministers for Magic over its long rule, some of them good, some of them so bad that one actually proposed a [“Dementor breeding program”](https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/ministers-for-magic). But the ones that succeeded brought great progression to the wizarding community – and we believe that’s exactly what you could do. After all, Hermione Granger was an over-achiever, just like you, and look where she ended up. 

## If you’re good with people... you’d work at the Department of International Magical Cooperation 

This job sounds like it requires a lot of meetings, so if you’re a social butterfly, this could be a role you could really embrace. This is where Percy Weasley started his political career, although the entry-level jobs for this department are more concerned about regulations for cauldron thickness than shaking hands with great wizarding world leaders.

But, if you stuck it out, we imagine this job could take you round the world, involve creating magical laws, and help to unite nations and embrace other wizarding cultures. So, if you put as much passion into the safety of cauldron bottoms as you do when it comes to meeting people, this job could be perfect for you. Eventually.

## If you want something relatively straight-forward... you’d work at the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office  

You’ll know this Ministry of Magic sub-department well, as it’s where our much-treasured Arthur Weasley worked. Ron may call it “the most boring department” but excuse us. Actually, the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts department is sometimes very interesting. Sometimes, it can involve a Muggle teapot that’s gone berserk. Sometimes it gets even crazier, when regurgitating toilets get involved. 

Alright, so it’s not as interesting as, say, being an Unspeakable at the Department of Mysteries (more on that in a moment) but it does sound like a good job to get stuck into if you want a job that’s dependable and relatively harmless. Moseying around London and magically fixing regurgitating toilets doesn’t sound all bad, especially if you have a huge family waiting for you at home. You’d get to travel round, see some of the mad ways Muggle artefacts have been tampered with, and be able to improve a lot of confused Muggles’ days. Not that they’d know about it – you have to perform a lot of Memory Charms in this job.

## If you are good at keeping secrets... you’d work at the Department of Mysteries 

One of the most enigmatic jobs in the Ministry of Magic lies in the Department of Mysteries, where employees are so secretive, they are called Unspeakables. 

Although we don’t know much about what the Unspeakables actually do, we learnt about their department during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where Harry and his friends learnt about different rooms specialising in different abstract concepts, such as love, death and time. So, if you’re good at keeping secrets, this is the job for you. But be warned: as interesting as this job sounds, it also sounds very dangerous – but maybe that’s more the case when Lord Voldemort suddenly has an interest in your department... 

WB-HP-F5-order-of-the-phoenix-harry-ginny-luna-ministry-prophecies

which-job-would-you-have-at-the-ministry-of-magic-text-section-3

## If you’re a competitive person or are a sports obsessive... you’d work at the Department of Magical Games and Sports 

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, with the office was described as ‘untidy-looking’ and a wizard 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. 

## If you just want Harry’s job... you’d work at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement 

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. 

## If you’re talented at solving problems quickly... you’d work for the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes 

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 people who know how to tidy up other peoples’ messes – so you need to be made of strong stuff to work here. 

## If you love to travel... you’d work at the Department of Magical Transport 

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.

What if… Harry had gone through the Triwizard Tournament without 'Mad-Eye Moody’s' help?

__Warning: spoilers for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire are more abundant than gnomes at the Burrow. Proceed with caution!__ 

Harry Potter never asked for help with the Triwizard Tournament. And he certainly never asked to be assisted by Death Eater Barty Crouch junior disguised as famous Auror Mad-Eye Moody. In fact, he never actually asked for his name to be entered into the Goblet of Fire in the first place. It’s complicated. 

Let’s take this step-by-step and explore how we think Harry would have fared in the Triwizard Tournament without Mad-Eye Moody’s help.

Oh, and you might notice we’ve referred to Barty Crouch junior as Mad-Eye Moody in the title of this article to save people from spoilers. For consistency, we’ll be referring to Barty Crouch junior as Mad-Eye Moody throughout, just to put you in the same position as Harry and keep you on your toes.

## The Goblet of Fire hurdle


what-if-Harry-triwizard-without-Moody-text-section-2

According to the new rules of the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore drew an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire, to prevent anyone under seventeen from entering. Harry was as surprised as everyone else when his name came out as a fourth Triwizard champion. Only later did he find out that it was Mad-Eye Moody who put his name in the Goblet of Fire, under the name of a different school. But if Harry had really wanted to enter the Tournament, could he somehow have figured out a way around Dumbledore’s Age Line? 

Fred and George Weasley attempted it with an Ageing Potion and, as Hermione predicted, it didn’t work. But what about if Hermione had really put her mind to it and helped Harry enter the Triwizard Tournament? Could she have used her famous logic to outsmart even Albus Dumbledore? After all, Mad-Eye Moody did, and he wasn’t even the real Mad-Eye. 
One hurdle might have been Hermione not being all too keen on breaking rules. But then she did brew Polyjuice Potion in her second year at Hogwarts, breaking – in her words – ‘about fifty school rules’. 

For the sake of argument, let’s say Harry managed to persuade Hermione to help him, and as a Hogwarts champion, he progressed to the first task… 


## Here be Dragons

It was Mad-Eye Moody who nudged Hagrid into showing Harry the dragons, as well as Mad-Eye who helped Harry see how he could play to his Quidditch strengths to succeed in the first task.

But we’re not entirely sure what difference Mad-Eye Moody’s help actually made on this particular task. Hagrid was never a brilliant keeper of secrets – in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, his catchphrase could have been, ‘I shouldn’ta told yeh that!’. And given how much Hagrid cared about Harry, we reckon he would have been likely to show Harry the dragons anyway, to prepare him. Even if Hagrid hadn’t, we’re not entirely sure it was helpful for Harry to have seen the Hungarian Horntail up close. Arguably, it made him even more nervous just before he was about to begin the first task! 

We should also add into our considerations the fact that Harry wasn’t as unfamiliar with dragons as some of the other Triwizard champions might have been. He’d unwillingly come far too close to a Norwegian Ridgeback in his first year at Hogwarts – a dragon Hagrid affectionately named Norbert. Perhaps this familiarity might have helped him in the first task, even without the dragon warning?

Then there is the small matter of getting past the dragon and retrieving the golden egg. Would Harry have been prepared to do this without Mad-Eye Moody’s hints about using a broom? It’s worth remembering that it was actually Harry who worked out that he’d need a Summoning Charm. And then it was Hermione who helped Harry to learn how to Summon his broom from a great distance. Had they had prior warning from Hagrid about the dragons, we reckon Harry and Hermione might have worked things out on their own. 
On to the second task… 
  
## Anyone fancy a swim?

Mad-Eye Moody told Harry that it was he who told Cedric Diggory to open the golden egg underwater, and then trusted that Cedric would pass the information on to Harry in repayment for the dragons. But it was actually Harry who made the decision to tell Cedric about the dragons himself, so that all the champions were on an equal footing for the first task. Also, Mad-Eye Moody might have pointed Cedric in the right direction with the egg, but Cedric was a clever and resourceful student, as well as kind; he may very well have worked it out on his own and shared the information with Harry anyway.

The trickster Moody also planted (excuse the pun) the book Magical Mediterranean Water-Plants and Their Properties in Harry’s Gryffindor dormitory – and by planted we mean he gave it to Neville Longbottom. When Harry didn’t ask Neville for help, Moody then staged a conversation with Professor McGonagall about Gillyweed in front of Dobby, who ‘ran straight to Snape’s store- cupboard’ to get a mouthful for Harry in time for the second task. 

We think that the question of how Harry would have fared in the second task without Moody’s interference really comes down to loyalty. Harry was a loyal friend and inspired loyalty in others too – perhaps his Gryffindor roots were to thank for this? Neville was great at Herbology and may well have known about Gillyweed even without the book. Perhaps at the eleventh hour, Harry might have sought him out, and no doubt Neville would have helped him anyway.

Then there’s the matter of the second task itself. Moody might have helped with the Gillyweed but he didn’t help down in the lake. Professor Lupin taught Harry about Grindylows – they were in his Defence Against the Dark Arts exam in third year. Harry managed to fight them off in the second task, where Fleur failed. It was also Harry’s Gryffindor courage and loyalty that got him the extra points from the second task – saving both Ron and Fleur’s little sister. On to the third and final task… 


## A-MAZE-ing at the maze

Portkey WB F4 PortkeyInTheMaze Still 100615 Land

'You had an easier time of it than you should have done in that maze tonight, of course,’ said Moody. ‘That was because I was patrolling around it, able to see through the outer hedges, able to curse many obstacles out of your way. I Stunned Fleur Delacour as she passed. I put the Imperius Curse on Krum, so that he would finish Diggory, and leave your path to the Cup clear.’

We don’t want to be rude, but Moody might have had an inflated sense of his own importance here. Harry’s Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons with Lupin the previous year were hugely beneficial to him in the maze – he cast a Patronus and then saw off a Boggart in quick succession. Harry was also very naturally talented at defensive magic, as we saw with his duel with Lord Voldemort only moments after he completed the maze. Also, let’s not forget that the year after the Triwizard Tournament, Harry actually taught defensive magic to a whole bunch of people known as Dumbledore’s Army. 

We can’t say for sure, but we reckon Harry would have had just as good a chance of getting to that cup first as Cedric, or Krum, or Fleur, even without Moody’s interference. 

## Conclusion

what-if-Harry-triwizard-without-Moody-text-section-6

We can’t deny that it would have been tough for Harry to get through to the third task without Moody’s help. But we don’t think it would have been impossible, as long as Harry had help from his friends. 

One of Harry’s greatest qualities was that he knew the importance of friendship and knew that sometimes you just have to ask for a helping hand. It didn’t hurt that one of his best friends happened to be the cleverest witch of her age, either.

From an interactive Hedwig to a Hogwarts castle replica, this new range of toys from Spin Master celebrates the iconography of Harry Potter in all manner of cute ways. Here’s a first glance at this new toy line. 

## Harry, Hermione, Luna and Cho 8” Dolls

first-look-at-new-spin-master-collection-text-section-2

Four beloved characters from the Harry Potter film series have been reimagined as new storytelling Dolls, boasting customisable outfits, Hogwarts uniforms, accessories and of course, wands!

Fans can choose between Harry, Hermione, Luna and Cho – with each Doll coming with mini-additions that complement their character. For example, the Deluxe Brilliant Hermione Doll is dressed like how you see Hermione in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, complete with pink hoodie and Time-Turner accessory. And if you want to take Hermione on a different adventure, she also comes with an additional outfit, cauldron and potion bottle, so you can recreate her famous Polyjuice Potion moment from *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*. 

## Enchanting Hedwig Interactive Plush 

spinmaster-hedwig-plush

first-look-at-new-spin-master-collection-text-section-3

We’d recognise this snowy owl anywhere – yes, it’s Harry’s beloved pet, Hedwig, who is available here as a special interactive plush.

Hedwig can flap her wings, move her beak and turn her head 270 degrees, just like a real owl. She even sits on her own little perch, so she can live comfortably in your home.

Featuring innovative effects, this plush has intuitive ‘ruffle detection’, meaning Hedwig will know when you want to pet her. She’ll also recognise the tone of your voice and respond to you when you fancy a chat. 

And the finishing touch: Hedwig also comes with a special Hogwarts letter, complete with the famous red wax seal, which she can hold in her beak. Only friends with the secret combination of interactions will be able to get Hedwig to release the letter.

## Magical Minis Hogwarts Castle, Small Dolls & Playsets

The Hogwarts Castle comes with 12 accessories, including your very own 3-inch Hermione small doll to wander round the school with. And more Magical Minis are available separately, so you can start to add classrooms and other characters into Hogwarts to let your imagination really fly. 

Keep an eye out for more details on the Spin Master collection, including additional goodies and release dates, very soon.

Wizards and witches may have Diagon Alley, but soon, we will have Harry Potter New York – a new, three-storey retail experience that will house the largest collection of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts products under one roof. From photo opportunities to upcoming virtual reality experiences, this store is expected to be exceptionally magical when it opens this summer, and here’s just a peek at what to expect.

![WEB-flagship-image-3](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/33owqrZAGiovnXFuuLTpkZ/d3242f5f053000b4dc1173842693f643/WW_Flagship_Wands.jpg)

Located at 935 Broadway, next to the iconic landmark, the Flatiron building, Harry Potter New York promises to be so much more than a normal shopping experience, offering 15 different themed areas, exclusive products and interactive elements, all celebrating different facets of the wizarding world.

![WEB-flagship-image-1](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/1LSFhbqgTEM640PLf8jN28/07bfa43d84928a727f1852e04749349a/WW_Flagship_Toys.jpg)

Upon entering Harry Potter New York, visitors will be greeted with a huge, floating model of Fawkes the Phoenix, created especially for this new store. Created by a team of specialist propmakers over a number of months, Fawkes weighs over 100kg and is just one of several meticulously detailed homages you can expect to see. In fact, the shop will be home to hundreds of Wizarding World props, with some authentic items featured in the films on display.

Due to the many glorious details showcased in the store, fans will find several photo opportunities to try out on each storey, from a Ministry of Magic London-style phone box to an extremely immersive setting where you get to pose inside one of Hagrid’s boots! We’re sure you’ve never had that photo opportunity before.

![hpny-store-atrium](//images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/CiNPbSUkHpYQV5530kNNr/7c23ca647e5f910dff67b521d4a67e80/hpny-store-atrium.jpg)

Beyond that, Harry Potter New York even plans to delve into the realms of virtual reality, with special immersive experiences set to be introduced to the store later in the summer. Soon, fans can expect to try out two sensory VR adventures, the first called Chaos at Hogwarts, which invites customers to step inside the beloved castle, and the second called Wizards Take Flight, where fans will be gifted with the feeling of flying on a broom across the skies of London.  Watch out for more updates on this upcoming feature later in the summer, once the store has opened!

The interactivity doesn’t end there. Members of our very own [Harry Potter Fan Club](https://www.wizardingworld.com/harry-potter-fan-club-tiers) who have our official app will be able to unlock extra surprises as they explore. Simply look out for our Enchanted Keys, which can be scanned in your app to bring up extra details about the store and your surroundings and learn a few behind-the-scenes snippets alongside your shopping experience. These keys have been precariously placed around the store – so keep a watchful eye. 

No rock has been left unturned when it comes to the breadth of detail within Harry Potter New York, with every inch steeped in magical nuances to make visitors really feel like witches and wizards. For example, fans can  test out their wand of choice at an interactive wand table, just like Harry did at Ollivander’s. The store even has its very own Wand Shop, which is host to over 50 wands, inspired by the characters, locations and props within the Wizarding World. This includes wands you won’t have seen anywhere else – such as the Golden Snitch Wand, especially created for Harry Potter New York.  

Even the products that fans can buy in the store have been made extra-special, with a Personalisation Area also being introduced. Here, shoppers can browse a selection of unique products, as well as get their name added to a number of selected items, such as having it engraved on a wand, embroidered on a Hogwarts house robe or embossed on a journal. 

Harry Potter New York is set to be a store of many firsts. For example, this will be the first time US fans can visit the House of MinaLima, home of the graphic designers that created the iconic props you see in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films. An area of the store will be specially dedicated to MinaLima’s graphic art creations, that range from Daily Prophet and Quibbler covers to Harry’s very own Hogwarts acceptance letter. You can learn more about MinaLima at their official website.

The sheer breadth of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts items on display means every type of wizarding world fan will find something special for them here, alongside taking part in a number of other unique experiences. We can’t wait until Harry Potter New York opens its doors to you all! 

*Harry Potter New York opens 3rd June. You can learn more details about the store from HarryPotterStore.com, with some of the store’s products online right now at [HarryPotterShop.com](https://harrypottershop.com/). Covid-19 guidelines will be in place at Harry Potter New York once it opens to the public.*
