The Daily Prophet & Witch Weekly
Hi Hogwarts,
It has been far too long!
My name is Saffron Macauley, Senior Editor at The Daily Prophet for Current Events, Columnist for Witch Weekly, and – most importantly – I was formerly the Editor of The Owl Post before my graduation.
In the summer of my 6th year I was lucky enough to organise work experience with the indomitable Philomena Pest at The Daily Prophet, which mainly consisted of getting her drinks, sharpening her quills, and making sure her fur coats were properly dry cleaned. It was one pointy heeled toe in the door, however, securing a job for me on graduation in 2024 and I’ve been here ever since!
Work Experience was eye opening, as well as door opening, so I endeavoured to establish it for all 6th year students at Hogwarts and it has met with success every summer for the last eight years!
So what can you gain from opting in to Work Experience with The Daily Prophet? Lots! Successful students will be allocated to work with the Editors and to join them on their assignments. Assignments will include day to day reporting around the UK as well as trips to report on the International Confederation of Wizards, and the British and Irish League Quidditch Cup Final – both of these will include transportation, accommodation, and meals! Access all area passes, meeting famous wixen, and also the opportunity to write your own article for publishing in either The Daily Prophet or Witch Weekly!
So if you haven’t already, meet with your Head of House and let them know you want to have your work experience with the Prophet and Witch Weekly reporters!
