Do you love Harry Potter? Do you like money?
If you've just answered a resounding 'yes' to both of those questions, then boy oh boy do I have some exciting news for you.
JK Rowling's most enduring creation, the Harry Potter books, have become an indelible part of our culture in much the same way as football and the Sunday roast. It's now been more than 20 years since the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published.
These grandparents built an incredible Harry Potter-themed fortress:The rest, as they say, is history. Six further books followed, as well as eight movies, two spinoff movies and millions upon millions of fans all over the world.
So, if you're one of that legion of Potter fans, you'll doubtless be extremely excited to learn that one company is offering $1,000 plus bonus perks to five people who're willing to binge watch all the movies in the wizarding world. In practice, this means all of the Harry Potter movies, as well as the two spinoff Fantastic Beasts movies.
The job description, from EdSmart (the company offering the dream gig) reads;
"Will the real Harry Potter fans please stand up?
"Here at EDsmart, we realize that most people could use a little magic right now, and we love Harry Potter.
"Most of the Muggle world is struggling with self-isolation and not having a normal routine–like we’re all living in the cupboard under the stairs at 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging.
"We realize that at this time, we can’t all head to Diagon Alley to stock up on goods nor Hogwarts to be with our friends.
"So, in light of all that’s going on out there and in our homes, we’ve decided to pay up to five Muggles, Mudbloods and magic folk $1,000 each to watch every Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movie–the Ultimate Dream Job.
"The right candidate will be chosen by the Sorting Hat."
The company notes that they are after a Harry Potter fan (naturally) but also an "active, outgoing social media personality".
On top of the $1,000 pay, the lucky successful candidates will receive a host of other treats, including: Harry Potter Butterbeer Caramel Corn (with containers), Harry Potter-themed candy, a Gryffindor snuggie, a Hogwarts alumni stainless steel tumbler, and a $100 Grubhub gift card.
