The Harry Potter Saga has swept over all the land, stealing the hearts of many. There are several people that love the story so much they have started clubs who get together and play Quidditch in their spare time. The books are full of lessons about good and evil mixed with fantastical creatures that will either scare or fascinate you. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Fort Lauderdale, Florida is here to talk about another lesson to be learned from this beloved series; the importance of criminal background checks before hiring employees! In each book, it seemed there was one person, usually a teacher, that ended up being a rotten egg. They caused problems for Harry and Dumbledore, and allowed evil to seep into Hogwarts.
A Background Check Would Have Revealed Professor Quirrell’s Alliance with Lord Voldemort
This seemingly shy, and introverted teacher was the last person you would have thought would have evil intentions at first meeting. He could barely get a sentence out without the whole thing falling apart. He had a strong alliance with Lord Voldemort and even became his host which allowed the Dark Lord to enter into the school. If Dumbledore would have just gotten a background check, surely it would have uncovered his past dealings with Lord Voldemort. Instead, Harry had to find a way to conquer evil before Quirrell helped the Dark Lord get his hands on the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Gilderoy Lockhart’s Employee Screening Would Have Uncovered Illegal Magic
Surely this man had a resume that spoke to whoever read it. He was supposedly doing good wherever he went, and was an accomplished author. Perfect for a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher right? Wrong. Had Dumbledore just conducted a background check on this man, it would have shown that he used illegal magic to do all of his heroic acts. Erasing the memory of those around him to take credit for their good deeds doesn’t exactly qualify you as a hero. His childhood mischief would tell you that he wasn’t to be trusted and lacked integrity.
A Background Check Would Have Shown How Dolores Umbridge Advanced in Political Career
Who can forget this border line psychotic woman. Her hunger for power would overtake her sense of right and wrong. But there was no reason not to trust her. She was a prominent public figure with a long history in politics. However, a background check would have uncovered the shady way in which she got to the top. Her prejudice against coworkers and mistreatment of others, isn’t the kind of person you would want leading and guiding the young generation of witches and wizards.

If Dumbledore had only known. If he had, we wouldn’t have had a story to fall in love with through all these years. However, in the reality we live in, you can’t afford to forego background checks on future employees. The lesson here is that no matter how qualified and wonderful a person may look, they could have a dark past they are trying their best to hide.
