And what is the distinction between Aurors and magical law enforcement?

That's got me confused, too. I thought "Magical Law Enforcement" was the department, and "aurors" were the employees.

I believe Aurors are like the police and law enforcement is like a district attorney

My impression has always been that “magical law enforcement” are cops, and Aurors are more like James Bond. MLE show up for exploding toilets and violations of statutes; Aurors go after Dark wizards and vampires and things like that.

oops, that link won’t open, and the site won’t let you copy/paste due to copywright laws. However if you google Harry Potter lexicon it will take you to a neat site that provides explanations for everything magical. :)

And what is the distinction between Aurors and magical law enforcement?

About the same as the difference between a street cop and a SWAT team. Same basic function, maintaining societal order, but different skill sets and 'clientele'...

I'd assume police vs lawyers.

The the wizarding community is more accepting of other magical creatures, I can see Hermione turning to that portion of law.
