Welcome to Gaia! ::

*scratches head* Oh yeah sweatdrop

It was this:
Books one, two, and three all show Harry with some other tool of some sort in hand (broom, phoenix/sword, hippogriff). He doesn't use his wand in many decisive duels. There are no huge magical battles. Sure, he conjures the patronus in book three, but it wasn't an exchange of spells so much, and that seems to be one of the only major spells he learns and then utilizes in a 'real-world' situation. And then there's the fact that he's flying in all of these, instead of on the ground.
Sidestepping for a moment, has anyone ever had flight dreams before? I have. You're dreaming up in the air and it has the lightest feeling to it, euphoric and magical. And always, right before I wake up, I'm dragged to the ground and I feel heavier, more real, more...I guess somber. This is sort of what I think Harry's position (air or ground) could represent on the American book covers. At first, they're magical and fairly light. Harry's still sort of euphoric about magic and what comes with it. And then, around the end of book three/book four, he's sort of dragged back down. Magic is a reality now, as are all of its dangers, which are considerably stronger for Harry than for most others.
Books four, five, and six all show Harry holding his wand up. These are where he starts using magic more often than luck or instinct. His first duel with Voldemort happens in book four, then the DoM in book five, then the fight over Hogwarts grounds in book six.
Book seven shows no wand--just Harry with his hand raised and his mouth slightly open. The absence of a wand--of any obviously magical tool, actually--makes me think that Harry wins this fight with wandless magic.

There have been examples of wandless magic shown in the books.
When Harry blew up his aunt, when Harry lit his wand in Book 5 (his hands wasn't on it)

And then Dumbledore did wandless magic.....when he was in the cave. He did some kind of incantations to see if that was the place.. I might be wrong which means i should check up...

I don't consider those instances with Harry to be wandless magic.

In the first instance, Harry was not saying a spell out loud or in his mind, and was not intending to do any magic at all. Wandless magic is controlled, has to be extremely controlled because you would have to focus a lot of your power into...your hand or something....because you don't have a wand to channel your power. Harry blowing up Aunt Marge was characteristic of instances with young wizards and witches who are developing their powers; it was an uncontrolled surge of power.

In the second instance, while Harry did say a spell and was sort of trying to do magic (I could argue here he wasn't even trying to do magic because he was saying the spell vainly and desperately, not really thinking it would work), his hand was extremely close to the wand when it responded to the 'Lumos' spell. The magic occured through the wand. Harry's powers obviously were strong enough (or the wand was strong enough, or both) to 'jump' a little from himself to the wand, but the light was not made without a wand.

Dumbledore did not use any incantations when he and Harry were looking for the locket, just (as far as we could tell) observation and guess-and-check techniques.

KK i dunno if i've posted my book 7 feelings before, so if you've read them feel free to skip my post. But i have many theories, here they are:

Snape IS IS IS IS BADDDD i don;t care what eople say he is a badman!

Dumbledore IS IS IS IS DEAD! they may find a technicality through which he may help Harry, but he will NOT come back to life. Because it would make no sense if HE can come back from the dead but Harrys parents can't.

Heres a thought, they will stumble upon some place where the spirits of all those killed by voldemort and they all join together to fight his army. That way sirius, dumbledore, and the old order of the pheonix will be there, they can all fight in the final battle.

AND FINALLLY MY FAVOURITE!!!

Harry is actually voldemort's son, now wait wait hold on, don't think I'm going all starwars on you, I have method to my madness.
Whenever someone recognizes harry, they say he looks like his father but "has his mothers eyes" and i think that iwll play a big role in this story. In the second book harry told dumbledore that he noticed alot of physical similarities between Tom Riddle and himself, and that woudl explain his looks but his mothers, eyes came from lily. So voldemort and lily had something i think, and HEAR ME OUT!! I know what your thinking!!! so hold up! That is what Voldemort couldn;t kill harry, not only was he protected by love, but his own blood ran in the veins of the child, and some of the connections between them may be genetic.
ALSO the sorting hat said he wuld have done well in slytherin, might it not be possible that he would have donewell there because thats what house his father was in?
Think about it, and when its not in the book you can laugh at me...lol

Dumbledore is dead. I think his portraits around the Wiziarding world will help Harry.

Harry being related to Voldemort is ludicrous. He looks like James, he has Lily's eyes. Everyone talked about him being their son.

They were connected (Harry and Voldie) because of the spell that failed.
PS I promise I won't laugh.

I'm not saying that magic that does not require a wand is rare or anything. But doing magic that normally would require a wand without said wand, now that's what I'd consider wandless magic. And all kinds of magic without wands are difficult to do.
