History of Aurors (Dark Wizard Catchers)...

Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Hey everyone, welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re diving in to the history of AURORS. How do you stop a Dark Wizard? Especially when you don’t have the likes of Harry Potter and his friends to help you out.

Well, for much of wizarding history, the defense of the magical world fell to a small handful of powerful ministry workers tasked with one simple goal: the enforcement of wizarding laws.  

Those responsible were known as Aurors… or dark wizard hunters…, and even though you’ve probably heard about them plenty of times, you’ve likely never heard their full history.

And that’s the tale we’ll tell today.
