History of The Wizard Police: Aurors - Harry Potter Explained

[@Matt_Villines]

I absolutely love that it’s canon that Harry became head of the Auror office and basically said “anyone who was ever my friend gets to be an Auror if they want, idc”. Sorting Hat was right.

[@cathylanders2479]

yay

[@CaptainM792]

He’s the head of magical law enforcement, he had the right to go wherever he pleased.

[@nithqueen]

all his friends were DA members tho, he knew they could do the job

[@iowaredneck9416]

With Hermione as the current Minister of Magic and Harry as the Director, I’d like to think the UK is at its most peaceful time that there has ever been… unless of course Ron constantly being overshadowed is his villain origin story

[@ironlungs3170]

Hermione probably gave the goblins back many of their rights, and she probably freed the elves

[@theflyingdutchman1301]

Interesting how dangerous "Aurors" can be. Its very vulnerably actually. Even when they believe they are doing good and following orders. (Same as our soldiers/police) It depends hard on the Ministry and the people controlling it. As example the Ministry vs Harry Potter and they would have used force even deadly force against Dumbledore when Fudge wanted him arrested if commanded so, we can all agree those orders would not have been just or good, but they would have followed it believing they are doing good with just actions.

[@takemetothethreshold2085]

Well said sir 😎👌

[@why_is_gamora1221]

Another example was in Secrets of Dumbledore, when Theseus Scamander went through a character arc and became a more open minded person who didn't follow every order from the ministry. Thus, allowing the rest of the characters to progress easier and more efficiently against Grindelwald.

[@ShaggyRogers1]

Aurors can't use explicit deadly force. The only explicit deadly force is the killing curse(naturally) and the unforgivables were only allowed during the rise of the two Dark Lords in recent memory. Would they have used all of the rest of their arsenal? Sure, but the rest of the spell library has weaknesses and ways to block them. You have to keep in mind that British Wizard society is still British, meaning that the use of force standards are similar. Even if Dumbledore attempted to start throwing out killing curses, it would have been just as illegal for an auror to throw one back.

I love all your content but this is one of your best in a while

[@jorgecarbajal8076]

2:42 Prior to Harry, Mad-Eye Moody was considered the best Auror of his time. Anyway, this was an interesting history lesson even if the amount of books on the subject is surprisingly limited.

Always nice to come home to a new HPT video!

Aurors: both the Wizards and Muggles first line of defense against the Dark Side

[@Yourmumsrectum]

This is off topic but all I can think about when when you say first line of defence is will smith doing that MIB rap but dressed as a wizard.

has anyone ordered harry potter legacy

[@Huskytabby]

Video idea for you to do: What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?

[@adamnwizard]

That's a question a wizard would ask 🤨

[@theinsanewraith1]

Other dark creatures

[@obsidious9809]

Light the way

[@TrailBlazer5280]

What I love about HP is how its still a growing society. They have their government and laws but its still a highly classist society with openly repressed and enslaved creatures. And like many "good" doers they still participated in that repression in certain ways because its what was acceptable. I don't blame some for viewing the aurors the same as any dark wizard

[@FIRING_BLIND]

The issue tho is that JKR doesn't really frame much of that as bad. In her mind, it's not the system that's bad. Just the ppl in it. So of course she made Harry a fucking cop 🤦

[@darthseverus89]

I confess I have been waiting for this video (it would be my ideal career in the wizarding world,but I wouldn't hate teaching D.a.d.a at ilvermorny) P.s. thanks very much for another greatly appreciated and anticipated videos quite possibly EVER.👍😁

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@baldrian22]

i wonder if things changed with harry leading the Aurors and Hermine later on getting the posission of minister of magic. I can see them trying to make the relationship with the other species better, afther all Harry is quite firendly towards them like houseelfs and centaurs, and he isent someone that would push away a werwolf for no reasons.

"Damn those Wizard Cops."

[@kimgrod]

Very interesting. Thanks for this vid

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

I believed that the Office of Majical Enforcement was like a magicans version of a Police Officer, but the Aurors were like an FBI Agent in their jobs.

[@CasperDaugaard]

What's the background music in this excellent video? So haunting!

[@CB-THE-OG]

In all honesty, if I were to choose a profession in the wizarding world, my job would either be an Auror or Hogwarts Professor. Definitely Auror would be preferred as my first career choice.

[@cesaravegah3787]

You kidding? The kind of parties you can throw with magic and the many ways you can support yourself without actually holding a job on that universe would mean that the planet would be a giant Las Vegas, even if some people would care to do some work as cops or teachers it wont be for long and certainly not my first options

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

Was Cedric related to the Minister who founded the Aurors office?

[@riffdex]

Yup

Having served in the military, Auror would totally be a profession I would do in The Wizarding World.

[@markmagician2471]

Are Aurors basically the cops of the magical world?

[@aidenharper6013]

Sort of like Swat+Detectives, than say a patrol officer.

[@rxauger01]

More like Spectres from Mass Effect

[@ismaelsantos5378]

Think of them as the Adeptus Arbites of the Wizard World.

[@RRP6632]

I think they more like FBI

[@littlefoot5013]

What exactly did the Aurors do when Voldemort ran the Ministry? Also, it seems that not all Aurors were good. The one named Dawlish seemed pretty corrupt.

[@aidenharper6013]

They filled the office with Death Eaters and basically just kept doing what they were doing, which qas hinting down the Order/Dumbledores Army.

[@abdirahmanidris290]

Dawlish was very skilled but he definitely didn't seem to bright

[@reiniernn9071]

A lot of them (auror before Tom took over the ministry) joined the order of the phenix.

Awesome thanks

i have to wonder if magic and science was combined if diseases like lycanthropy could be treated or cured.

[@TalonSky]

I hate that Harry became an Auror. First off, he knew he was the master of the Elder Wand and wanted to bring it to his grave, to break it's power, and he knew just how fickle the wand could be. So he pursued a career where he was in constant danger of being disarmed/taken out? By the very ministry that had persecuted him for years? Nah, I don't buy it. Harry had won his peace and quiet; he should have sought a far less dangerous career, probably as a professor at Hogwarts, his one true home.

[@aidenharper6013]

Except that goes completely against his character. He constantly leaves comfort behind to go headlong into whatever fight is happening ahead of him. He almost cant help himself from jumping in when someone is in danger, how do you think he could justify teaching children to go out and fight when he stopped as soon as he wasnt the one in danger anymore?

[@aidenharper6013]

@@abdirahmanidris290 that doesnt really matter, since if he lost a duel then hed still lose mastery over the Elder wand. It would prevent people from taking it, unless they already knew he had it. Honestly the movie answer made much more sense (except he never repairs his own wand)

[@wookieschnitzel7595]

What about a TV show based on the Auror's office? Like a crime show

[@nasmatique]

While being an Auror seems cool in a resume, I don't think it's that great of a job for a wizard/witch. You must be able to follow orders, even when you don't agree with them. (Imagine if the Ministry is as corrupted as during Fudge's mandate) That's a red flag for me. Of course, it's also very risky since you're constantly hunting dark wizards/witches. So, it's not 100% sure you will grow old. That said, it's still very selective and must be a vocation. Not something to do for clout. Though, I think Neville and Ron understood that it wasn't for them despite being powerful wizards. (They did the job for a couple of years before moving on to healthier jobs) If I was a wizard, I would probably be a freelance curse-breaker. Choosing my own contracts at Gringotts, taking vacations whenever i want, paid well, and from time to time fighting dark wizards responsible for cursed places.

[@naraj85]

I wonder if we’ll be able to become an auror in a future wizarding world game, maybe a sequel to hogwarts legacy

[@ismaelsantos5378]

They could just do some tunning to the combat system of Hogwarts Legacy and make a 3person shooter ala Battlefield or CounterStrike, with players able to choose between being a Dark Wizard or an Auror.

[@AdmiralofU2]

Did Voldemort fulfill a prophecy by trying to stop it from being fulfilled?

[@DrakeSmith-tn6ij]

Yes.

[@adamnwizard]

I'd prefer to just learn as much as I possibly can at hogwarts, and then live a peaceful life on some land like the Weasleys property, growing mandrake roots and raising newts for their eyes. Staying out of the way of both Death Eaters and Aurors.

[@rxauger01]
