An Auror is a highly trained wizard or witch in the Harry Potter series of books. Auror's are 'dark wizard catchers', they hunt down Voldemort and his followers. To become an Auror, you need top grades, particually in Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions and Charms. During the books, Kingsley Shacklebot is the head Auror. Harry Potter later becomes one.
