Careers Advice

Career Advices are special sessions held for Hogwarts fifth year students. They are for the students to discuss with their Head of Houses about their future careers, after graduating from school. Sessions usually cut into a certain class hour, and the student is in their head's office. The students would list their career choices, and the professors would give advices on what N.E.W.T. courses to take, as well as to focus on which O.W.L. in order to be qualified to continue.

During Harry Potter's career advice session with Professor McGonagall, he was rudely interrupted by the then-headmistress, Dolores Umbridge, who kept making annoying scratching sounds with her note-writing, as well as remarks against Harry's ambition of being an auror. The meeting ended up with Professor McGonagall supporting Harry, and having a screaming argument against Umbridge.
