HP Fan Trips
, a series of Harry Potter-themed tours around the world, is hiring chaperones for their July 2009 programs to England and Scotland. Founded in 2004, this will be the sixth consecutive year for the events.
If you have always wanted to experience an award-winning HP Fan Trip, this is your opportunity to do a little work in exchange for an amazing adventure.
Download the Chaperone Interest form to apply for a position. Completed forms must be received by Jan 31, 2009.
If you need a chaperone, you can let FanTrips.travel know by sending in this form instead. Questions about the position or about finding a chaperone can be directed to chaperone@fantrips.travel.
FanTrips.travel is a new division of Beyond Boundaries Travel, which has been operating HP Fan Trips since 2004 and introduced Twilight Fan Trips and other specially themed tours recently.
[Editor's note: As one of the original founders of HP Fan Trips, I had the honor of attending every tour from 2004 through 2007 and can vouch for its attention to detail and the authenticity so important to discerning Harry Potter fans. The new FanTrips.travel will continue to provide innovative tours for fans of all ages and fandoms, and I am glad to endorse them wholeheartedly. Neither HPANA nor myself receive monetary compensation for helping promote these tours.]

Oooooooh, cool! It sounds great! I'm afraid I can't afford to go on any such trips, plus, I only have one trip in mind at the moment, which is to go to Australia!!! Sounds like a great opportunity for somebody though!

If I could afford to do it I would be there asap. Being on the other side of the world in a lovely little country called Australia makes it a bit hard with my current finances.

How fun! What a cool job that would be. They probably get to dress up. I only get to dress up as HP characters at the movie premiers, and also randomly at home L0L.

I would apply, but this summer we are hoping to buy a house (finally) and I really don't think I could afford plane tickets overseas, even if the rest of the trip was paid for. But it sounds like an extremely awesome trip!

Sucks that you have to be 25 to do it. I would have applied otherwise. It would be something worth doing for sure.
