In Rowling's Harry Potter series, Dumbledore demonstrated the ability to possess wandless magic on several occasions, most memorably when he cast Aresto Momentum without a wand to save Harry from falling to his death during a Quidditch match. Lord Voldemort was also able to practice powerful wandless magic.
Usually, witches and wizards accustomed to using wands could only reliably perform wandless magic if they possessed great skill. However, within regions of the wizarding world that historically did not use wands, wandless magic was considered the norm, and using one was optional.
But Hogwarts has never officially taught wandless magic, except on one occasion when Dumbledore made Snape teach Harry how to defend his mind in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
If there is a spell to encapsulate the asset Hermione is to everyone's favorite magical trio, it has to be Alohomora. Alohomora is, fittingly, the spell that is used to unlock locks. Much like her character throughout the entire series, Hermione is wicked smart, cunning, resourceful, and the best problem-solver.
Some would say there's no spell worse than Avada Kedavra, the Killing Curse that Voldemort used so indiscriminately. But it's definitely not the wizarding world's only Unforgivable Curse.
Alohomora, which is a spell that unlocks objects (and it's also Hermine Granger's signature spell).
Yes, because of its nature to act wildly, a wandless spell has the potential to be far more powerful than that of a spell done with a wand. And yet, unforgivable curses cannot be cast without one.
The three Unforgivable Curses in Harry Potter are Crucio, Imperio, and Avada Kedavra, and all three are available to Hogwarts Legacy players. Crucio subjects the victim to extreme torture, while Imperio puts them under the control of the spellcaster.
British wizards and witches have been using wandless magic for generations — often accidentally, especially when they are underage. The level of difficulty is high, and at times, it can be unstable — a possible reason why wandless magic is not taught at Hogwarts.
There is no evidence to suggest Molly Weasley performs wandless magic for her household chores.
Their proficiency in both animal and plant magic coupled with a tendency to use wandless magic was quite interesting. As a result, Ilvermorny decided to integrate some of this Indigenous magic into their courses as well.
Hermione Granger
Her wandless magic can be seen prominently in The Half-Blood Prince. She performs Confundus on Cormac McLaggen simply by whispering into her hand. She also successfully performs Avis and Oppugno Jinx without the use of her wand when sending birds to attack Ron.
Those that are gifted with the power of flight are perhaps more rare than any other wizard that has any other power.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
Firestorm. Firestorm was a spell that created a large ring of fire around the caster's wand. This spell is one of the last and most powerful spells that Albus Dumbledore cast using the elder wand before his death.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Often considered to be the weakest form of magic, breath magic is used to control the power of wind, air, and movement, and is channelled through the silver band.
The Ultima spell is arguably the most powerful magic present in the Final Fantasy series. Though it is a recurring spell, the player is rarely given the option to cast it themselves as it can usually only be learned by the most powerful enemies in the series.
Brooms are magical tools just like wands, meaning extremely powerful wizards, like Voldemort, can fly without them. This also means every wizard and witch has the ability to fly without a broom, it's just that most need brooms to channel that power.
Roughly translated, Expelliarmus – the Disarming Charm – means 'to drive out a weapon' and that's what it does: forces the subject to drop whatever they're holding. Usually that's a wand, which is why it's often seen in duels, and Harry definitely took that to heart, given how much he used it in combat.
Ginny and the Bat Bogey Hex
As the youngest Weasley, we're sure Ginny observed more than her fair share of unpleasant spells over the years but it was the Bat Bogey Hex she was famous for – and with good reason.
In Deathly Hallows, Hermione faced a real test of her physical and psychological stamina. After being on the run from a bunch of Snatchers, the gang were taken to Malfoy Manor, where Bellatrix proceeded to torture Hermione using the Cruciatus Curse.
