Can anyone think of Halacha questions that would come up specifically related to the Harry Potter universe? My sister asked me to make a series of source sheets/shiurim on various Harry Potter related questions. I have one down - Halachic Hogwarts: Can A Jewish Muggle Born Get A Wizarding Education? But I still want to find more questions to answer.

An interesting shiur regarding names and the Jewish idea that a name describes the essence of the person. (Includes interesting stories and anecdotes - by a mohel, so you know they’re gonna be good.)
It seems like all the women's shiurim I can find in this city are intro level - including not one, not two, but three separate women's intro to Tanya shiurim taught by three different people just today - and this is really frustrating. Isn't there any audience for a more advanced level of anything?
Anyone have any tips for concentrating on/paying attention to audio shiurim? I have zero trouble paying attention when I'm physically sitting in the shiur, perhaps because there are less available distractions (e.g. no option to go make tea, check my email, look to see if I brought any gloves with me to EY) or perhaps because I have a visual to focus on (the teacher). I also have zero trouble focusing when I'm learning from a text rather than audio, even if there are potential distractions around.
I can focus on recordings if I'm doing something else while learning (e.g. walking somewhere, riding the bus, doing various things I used to have to do at my old job that required very little brain power) but sometimes I just want to sit down and listen to a shiur without being on the go or relying on being at work and having a task that doesn't require concentration. Especially since once I'm back in America, at least while I'm living with my parents (not sure about after since I don't quite know where I'll be living), I won't really be walking places or taking the bus (they live in the suburbs and I own a car).
What happens in a chasidus shiur? (Or any type of shiur really, and how does a chasidus one differ?)
A shiur is a lecture-style class.
A chasidus shiur is a lecture-style class on the topic of chasidus.
Depending on the context there may or may not be time prior to the shiur for students to prepare textual sources related to the shiur with a chavrusa (learning partner). The core classes at my sem have 1.5-2 hours of preparation followed by 1-1.5 hours of shiur.
