Ron could also be a partner. He has a good understanding of the wizarding world's market, especially when it comes to things like magical games and treats. He could be in charge of marketing and public relations, using his charm and knowledge of what wizards like.
Hermione would be a great partner. She is extremely intelligent, well - read in magic, and has a great sense of organization. She could handle all the research, paperwork, and strategic planning in the company.
Hermione would be an obvious choice. With her intelligence and vast knowledge of magic, she could handle the more academic and research - related aspects of the business. For example, if they were starting a magical library business, Hermione would be in charge of cataloging and sourcing rare books. She could also help with any legal or ethical issues that might arise in the wizarding business world.
Dumbledore (if he were still alive) could be an advisor. His wisdom and experience would be invaluable. Also, some of the Weasley family members like George, who already has experience in running a joke shop, could bring his business acumen to Harry's company, helping with sales, marketing, and product design.
Another possible partner could be Hinata. She is very kind - hearted and detail - oriented. She could be in charge of customer relations, making sure that every customer feels welcome and satisfied. And her Byakugan might be used to keep an eye on the bank's surroundings for any signs of trouble.
Hermione would be a great partner. Her intelligence and knowledge of magic would be invaluable. For example, if Harry opened a potion - making business, Hermione could handle the research and development of new potions, while Harry dealt with the business side like marketing and customer relations.
His first recruit could be Neville Longbottom. Neville has proven himself to be brave and skilled in magic, especially after his growth during the Battle of Hogwarts. He would be a great asset to the sellsword company with his knowledge of herbology, which could come in handy for making potions for protection or healing in their missions.
A magic education company. Harry has had a unique educational journey at Hogwarts. He could start a company that offers supplementary magic courses. For example, advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts for those who want more in - depth knowledge, or courses on the history of magic for those who are interested in the past of the wizarding world. It could also have a virtual Hogwarts experience for young witches and wizards who are not old enough to attend the real Hogwarts yet.
One possible plot could be that Harry uses his skills from fighting Voldemort and his knowledge of the wizarding world to form a sellsword company. He might recruit some of his old Hogwarts friends like Ron and Hermione. They could offer protection services to wizarding families or even to magical creatures. For example, they could protect a family of centaurs from poachers. The company could also get involved in solving magical disputes in a more hands - on way than the Ministry of Magic usually does.
Definitely Hermione and Ron. They are his closest friends and always by his side. Also, Neville would be a great addition. He has shown great courage in the original story. And of course, the members of the Order of the Phoenix like Sirius (if he were still alive in the fanfiction) and Lupin.
There's a chance he meets a group of nomadic magic - users. These are people who travel across the universe in search of new sources of magic. They could introduce Harry to different forms of magic that are not based on the traditional elements like fire, water, earth, and air that he's used to on Earth. Instead, they might use things like starlight or cosmic energy as a basis for their spells.
Well, in some fanfiction, Ginny Weasley might be the one in the betrothal contract with Harry, which could add more drama to their relationship. Or perhaps a character from another wizarding family, like a pure - blood from a foreign magical community. For example, a French witch from Beauxbatons. This would introduce new cultural elements into the story as they navigate the betrothal contract.
