Are there any spells that a wizard/witch can cast without a wand in the Harry Potter universe?
In the beginning of the series, it's mentioned that Muggle-born wizards/witches are identified due to inadvertent spell-casting. However, it seems like later in the book, disarmed wizards/witches are completely helpless. What is the explanation for why some spells can be cast without a wand and is there an in-universe explanation for why this isn't done? Also, are there spells that can be cast non-verbally (with/without a wand)?

Mar 23, 2011 at 21:39 Alternate question: Can Voldemort/Dumbledore use an unforgivable curse wandless? Mar 24, 2011 at 7:51@muntoo In the Unforgivable Curses section of the wiki, it says "The spell [Avada Kedavra] is performed verbally as a rule; Bellatrix Lestrange killed a fox with a non-verbal spell after Apparating with Narcissa Malfoy at Spinner's End, thinking that it was a lurking Auror, but it is unknown whether it was Avada Kedavra or some other lethal curse.", but that's the only time the article mentions non-verbal usage.
Mar 24, 2011 at 13:27 @jennyfofenny: those links should be an answer on their own :) Aug 2, 2011 at 19:55House elves and goblins can use magic without wands, and there are quite some examples of humans doing magic without wands. My guess is that the Ministry is forcing wizards to use wands so they can track the spells back to the owner of the wand. Overregulation is a big issue in the Harry Potter universum i'd say :)

Reviews for "Mastering Perspective: Architectural Photography with the SLR Magic 8mm Prime Lens"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try out the Slr magic 8mm prime lens, but I was disappointed with the results. The image quality was poor, with noticeable distortion and softness at the edges. The lens also had issues with flare and chromatic aberration, making it difficult to capture clear and accurate colors. Additionally, the manual focus ring was quite stiff, making it a challenge to quickly adjust focus. Overall, I had high expectations for this lens but unfortunately, it did not live up to them.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I have to say that I was extremely dissatisfied with the Slr magic 8mm prime lens. The vignetting was significant, even at smaller apertures, which greatly impacted the overall image quality. The lens also exhibited noticeable barrel distortion, making straight lines look curved and distorted. The build quality was also subpar, with a plastic construction that felt cheap and flimsy. On top of all that, the lens was prone to issues with flare and had a narrow depth of field, making it difficult to achieve sharp focus. I would not recommend this lens to anyone looking for quality results.
3. Alex - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Slr magic 8mm prime lens, but unfortunately, it fell short in a few areas. The lens had a noticeable lack of sharpness, especially towards the edges of the frame. This was disappointing, as I was hoping for a wide-angle lens that would provide crisp and detailed images. The lens also had a slow autofocus performance, often struggling to lock onto subjects quickly and accurately. The build quality was decent, but the overall image quality did not meet my expectations. I would recommend looking for other options before considering this lens.
4. Emily - 3/5 stars - The Slr magic 8mm prime lens had its pros and cons. On the positive side, the lens was lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around. However, the image quality was average at best. The lens suffered from noticeable barrel distortion, which was especially apparent in architectural and landscape shots. I also found that the lens had a limited depth of field, making it difficult to achieve the desired focus. While it may be suitable for casual use, professional photographers may be disappointed with the overall performance of this lens.
