Bill Weasley, a Curse Breaker
A Curse-Breaker is a profession at the wizard's bank Gringotts, in which a wizard or witch is asked to break curses in ancient tombs to bring back lots of gold to Gringotts.
It is said to be a very dangerous and serious profession, in which a wizard or witch could be killed as a result of an old curse, jinx, or hex. An O.W.L. in Arithmancy is required, and known job functions are synonymous with the name as such. The Goblins that run Gringotts generally do not care what the Curse-Breakers look like in terms of appearance or dress, as long as they bring home lots of gold. Curse-Breakers are known to operate in Egypt.
