		The speed of the jet is controllable: Harry used it to refill a small goblet in the Horcrux cave, whilst a short while later, he and Hagrid used it to douse the flames on Hagrid's Hut when it was on fire.
		Harry decided he probably wouldn't be able to use it to dry up the entire Hogwarts lake.
		She then tries the spell again in an attempt to get Harry's socks to fold themselves and uses a wand movement only (with no incantation at all) and so this seems likely to be a spell which requires no verbal element.

	Never Snitch: The Mythology of Harry Potter
		The sign of Harry's greatness is a scar on his forehead, where a lightning bolt hurled by the evil wizard Voldemort hit him when he was still a baby and would have killed him, but for his mother's self-sacrificial intervention; the scar functions, like the mark of Cain, to set Harry apart.
		Harry Potter, too, has moments of computer magic; a more banal version of his magic map that shows people moving on its surface is available at most Hertz and Avis headquarters, not to mention high-tech alarm systems.
		This is certainly not the case with Harry Potter, who must abide not only by the complex moral rules of magic but even by the moral rules dictating when to use, and when not to use, magic.

	Review of an anti-Wiccan, anti-Harry Potter "documentary" video
		The broomsticks that Harry and his fellow students ride are "a phallic symbol and it's very important in feminine cult worship." Wiccans do occasionally use broomsticks to sweep a floor in preparation for a circle ritual.
		In the documentary film, she equates the fantasy world of sorcery and magic in the Potter books with the religion of Wicca.
		The Harry Potter books are fantasy; they describe a non-existent imaginary world of unicorns, candles floating in the air, flying broomsticks, curses, automobiles that fly through the air, magick, cloaks of invisibility, etc.

	The Ethos of Harry Potter: Art, Influence, Delight
		Harry Potter, see magic as the source of power in the novels, but I will argue that while the wizardry adds an element of fun and fantasy to the book, it actually has little tangible value for the characters.
		In addition to featuring in six books with his name on them, Harry Potter and his friends have appeared in four full-length feature films (with a fifth currently in progress) and on the covers of Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, and even Mad magazines.
		Harry Potter ” addresses this question through applying current genre theory to Rowling’s series, and argues that the overwhelming success of the series can be traced to Rowling’s incorporation of not only mainstream genres such as fantasy, adventure, and epic but also popular genres such as pulp fiction, detective stories, gothic literature, and sports tales.
