That really, imo, depends upon how one defines 'fulfilling' and must, imo, take into account what each individual would want or need in order to call his/her life 'fulfilling.'

Well, she was a child of the internet cast back into 1945 to live.  
(Interestingly, Binn's history of magic textbook is published in 
1945--at least the edition cited in the footnote of Fantastic 
Creatures).  Unlike HP, she was loved, well cared for, and I'm sure her 
parents had expectations for her education and career.  So she ends up a 
magical Please-Man.
