I often find myself comparing everything in my life to Harry Potter. It makes me exquisitely happy to imagine my world and the world J.K. Rowling created colliding. If you're a Harry Potter fanatic, like me, you'll enjoy reading what J.K. Rowling's characters would be if they were college majors:
Science - Hermione Granger
Naturally, all the science majors go to Hermione Granger. This includes Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Neuroscience and everything in between. Similar to Hermione, science majors are unnaturally smart and extremely dedicated to their work (whether that's because they enjoy it or because they have to be, I'm unsure).
Political Science - Harry Potter
This goes without saying. The only thing that separates Political Science majors from Harry Potter is that Harry didn't choose to be a political figure. Well, that and political science majors aren't magical Horcruxes.
Business - Draco Malfoy
Malfoy would definitely be in a school of Business if he didn't attend Hogwarts. Ask a business major why they're a business major. I bet 9/10 times their answer has to do with income and power rather than enjoying what they do. Cunning and deceitful, Malfoy, like most business majors, is just trying to climb the ranks.
Computer Science - Tom Riddle (A.K.A. Voldemort)
Ok, picture a Defense Against the Dark Arts class as a Cyber Security class. Everyone's diligently taking notes on how to protect against hackers and inside Tom Riddle's head, the wheels are turning. After hours, he approaches his professor (Slughorn, is that you?) and asks questions regarding hacking instead of security. The professor, though nervous, answers his questions to the best of his ability. He can see talent and passion dancing in Riddle's eyes as they discuss illegal hacking.
"This is all just hypothetical, right?"
"Of course."
It is then that a brilliantly dangerous hacker is born. #ModernDayVoldemort
Communications - Ron Weasley
Though not a particularly difficult major, Communications only works for a specific type of person- one who isn't afraid to speak their mind regardless of their audience. Hence, Ronald Weasley.
Math - Severus Snape
Math, at first glance, is a dry subject. However, with further exploration, math has more depth than most other majors. Snape appears evil and terrible. Throughout the series, the character of Severus Snape doesn't appear to have much depth. He is evil through and through. And then you learn about his past. You understand his loss and his pain. You see the good in him. Similarly, it is not until you understand math that you learn to like it. It just takes opening your eyes.
Religion - Sirius Black
When Sirius Black enters the series in The Prisoner of Azkaban, he stays invisible for most of the book. He is a ghost, but with everything he has, he tries to be there for Harry. When they finally meet and understand each other, Sirius serves as a parent-figure that Harry never had. When he dies, Harry still thinks of him often. In my eyes, Sirius is Harry's guardian angel- there to protect him through life and death.
English - Rubeus Hagrid
This is a joke. Hagrid can barely speak English.
Philosophy - Luna Lovegood
Philosophy goes to none other than Luna Lovegood. She and her father epitomize wizard philosophy. This goes without saying.
Psychology - Moaning Myrtle
Poor Myrtle. She has a lot of psychological issues. The only problem with Myrtle going to school for psychology is that she would probably self-diagnose herself with everything. Then again, that might not be the worst thing for her. She probably needs to better understand her own mind.
Education - Albus Dumbledore
Dumbledore, though cryptic, is still probably the greatest teacher of all time. Who better to symbolize education then the man who basically taught everyone everything.
Environmental Science - Neville Longbottom
Through the years, when Neville didn't understand his own worth, herbology was there to show him he was good at something. Neville always excelled in the magical equivalent to environmental science, so it's only right that he gets this major.
Studio Arts - Nymphadora Tonks
Tonks is a superb example of an art major. If she wasn't a Metamorphmagus, she would probably be exercising her artistic creativity through other mediums. Perhaps painting or sculpting?
