In the Wizarding World, spells can be cast in many different ways.
With wands. Without wands. Verbally. Nonverbally.
We also know that things like wand loyalty can affect how well a witch or wizard is able to channel his or her magic.
And depending on which combination of these things a wizard uses- nonverbal with a wand, verbal without a wand, verbal with a wand etc. I imagine that we’re going to see some pretty varied results.
So my question today is: Does speaking the spell out loud actually make it stronger? And while we’re at it, I’ll also be diving into whether magic performed with a wand is inherently more powerful than wandless casting.
Let’s dive in to it.
