bboyminn:

While some good ideas, but many are not likely as others have already
pointed out.

HARRY:

Harry has made a substantial financial investment, although he is not
aware of it. Based on my own fiction, I suspect the Twins will offer
to pay Harry back his Tri-Wizards winning, but Harry will refuse. So,
instead, the Twins will make Harry a silent partner in their business.
 When the famous Harry Potter has tired of Dark Wizard fighting, which
I suspect will be very quickly if not immediately, he will join the
Twins in running their company. Once he puts his mind to it, I think
he will have many brilliant ideas for products. 

RON:

In my own expansion of the wizard world, Ron is indeed a Chess
Champion, World Grand Master Chess Champion in fact, but over the
years he has invested all his winnings in Weasley Wizarding Wheezes,
keeping a small but comfortable amount to live on. Eventually, he will
have invested so much money, that he too will become a part owner in
the Twins company, and take part in the business.

HERMIONE and GINNY:

Will open a magical consulting company where they will solve magical
problems for various wizarding companies and businesses. On the sly,
they will also live modestly and invest in the Twins Company and will
become minor shareholder and make a nice income off company profits.

NEVILLE:

Most likely will become the new Herbology Teacher at Hogwarts. If not
that then he will start an Herb and Potions ingredients farm
specializing in rare and hard to get items.

ARTHUR:

While JKR has said that Arthur won't be the NEXT Minister of Magic,
she never said that he would NEVER become the Minister of Magic. So
while that is a very possible fate for him, I suspect he and Molly
will retire early and live off the substantial fortunes of their Sons
business venture which I speculate will become the largest Wizarding
business in the world and will eventually expand into the muggle
market with appropriate muggle products.


For the fun of it... several products invented by Harry (mostly) and
Ron that have expanded Weasley Wizarding Wheezes -

Dragon Flying Boards - Harry's idea, small flying boards, similar to
Skateboards, that hover 6" off the ground and are all the rage with
the young crowd.

Harry Potter's Wizards Brew  - All-Natural Suprisingly Strong Ginger
Brew (ginger beer or ale depending on where you live - no alchohol).
Standard which is strong, Premium which is slighlty sweeter to offset
the extra strength which will set your mouth on fire.

Harry Potter's Ginger Cream Ice Cream - better than you might expect.
Made by Fortescue. Plus monthly variations; raspberry swirl ginger
cream, strawberry swirl ginger cream, etc....

Port-Pagers - an ingenious blend of magical portkey and muggle
electronics designed by four genius muggle-born wizards. Programable
with 25 pre-set destinations. Completely revolutionizes magical
travel. This item has the advantage of being able to transport an
entire family at once. The Weasley Brothers buy a controlling interest
in the company. Side Note: There is a way around the Ministry
restriction on Portkeys.

Weasley Transport Service (Local) - as long as you have Port-Pagers,
why not hire them out as Taxis. Faster and better than the Knight Bus.

Weasley Transport Sevices (International) - as long as you are
transporting people with your innovative portkeys, why not transport
them in groups to any destination in the world.

Weasley Travel Service - as long as you are transporting people around
the world, why not plan vacations for them; booking Hotels, giving
tours, providing personal quides, etc....

Harry Potter's Emerald Eyes Gin - Harry discovers this long forgotten
Wizard's gin that is smooth like London style gin but full flavored
like Dutch gin, and buys the company, revitalizing it under his own
brand name.

Ron Weasley Chess Boards - Standard, Deluxe, Premium, and Custom. The
big money is in the custom made boards which soon become collectors
items. Boards are a copy of McGonagall's Philosopher's Stone chess
set. Autographed by Ron, Harry, Hermione, and McGonagall all of whom
get a share of the profits.

Plus an assortment of other food items like - Ron Weasleys Red Hot
Meat Sticks (think Slim Jims, or ginger spiced pepperoni), assorted
ginger flavor products like Harry's Ginger spice mustard, Ginger feed
- cured - glazed Hams, etc...

Assorted personal care and cleaning products. Can't get into this in
details in a public forum - Harry Potter's Magic Soap, Shampoo,
Conditioner, lotion, etc....

Several assorted Broom innovations in cooperation with Comet broom
company.

The Rubeus Giant Broom - a broom custom made for Hagrid (birthday
present from Harry and Ron) that catches on for mass transport and
cargo hauling. When combined with the Rubeus carriage, it make the
perfect family transportation; much better than magic carpets. Hargid
gets royalties on the invention of the Rubeus Carriage.

Harry Potter Publishing - Harry, Ron, and Hermione tell their story to
the world in seven volumes. Though the books are ghost written from
notse made by the Trio by a ghost writer call Joanne Ro... 'Just call
me Jo, everybody does'.

Oh yeah... Ron and Harry buy the Chudley Cannons and as a direct
result of doing that, they take over the food and drink concessions at
all the national Quidditch Stadiums. Food which now includes Chocolate
dipped ginger cream on a stick.

Yes... yes... I know this has nothing to do with JKR's world, but it
shows the potential for Harry and Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. 

I really think that Fred and George's company will be Harry's saving
grace in the future. When this war is over, Harry, I really believe,
is going to have had his fill of danger and dark wizard fighting, so
working for Fred and George will be a safe relaxing way to spend the
rest of his life.

Just having some fun.
