The film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban showed more instances of wandless magic compared to other films, being: Dumbledore flicking the flame of a candle during his speech at the Great Hall. Dumbledore casting the Slowing Charm.
Although Dumbledore did not start Hogwarts late and had no particular affinity for ancient magic, he was able to learn some of these skills, being an otherwise extraordinarily talented wizard.
in the harry potter universe its stated wandless magic is weaker though in this game natty states in uganda they only use wandless magic and it was about the same in power. so really it comes down to the user.
In half blood prince:Gryffindor quidditch team selections, when it was Cormac's turn Hermoine casted the confundus charm and he missed his last save. We don't know about how she casts the spell in the book but in the movie it's shown that she just whispers "confundus" and that's it. Without a wand!
Those that are gifted with the power of flight are perhaps more rare than any other wizard that has any other power. Able to fly purely because of their own powers and not reliant on any type of enchanted item or spell at all, the number of these special wizards known to exist can be counted on one hand.
It's never explicitly mentioned, but it's possible that Draco Malfoy can perform wandless magic. After spotting an invisible Harry in his compartment, Draco shuts the door and closes the blinds to block out sight so he can confront Harry.
Tom Riddle, who later became Lord Voldemort, also is seen performing wandless magic multiple times, most notably when he was able to knock Harry to the ground by waving his hand. Hermione has also proven to be able to perform wandless magic.
"In the Harry Potter universe, wands are an innately magical tool, capable of rebelling against their user or switching loyalties (such as the Elder Wand). A Muggle gaining one wouldn't just effectively have a stick in their hand but could produce an uncontrollable magical effect."
Who is the most powerful wizard before Dumbledore?
Formerly known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, Lord Voldemort was the most formidable evil wizard in the entire universe. Until Harry Potter, Voldemort's magical prowess was practically unmatched, and no one could stand a chance against him. His fascination with the Dark Arts is very famous.
Albus Dumbledore likely invented many magical spells and devices, but the most noteworthy in the Harry Potter series is the Deluminator. It was first introduced in the same chapter as Dumbledore himself, and it is used to trap the light of any lamp or candle and return it when prompted.
Could Dumbledore have beat Draco and the Death Eaters if he tried to? Yes, though overall it would be pointless, and Dumbledore knew that. Dumbledore knew his days were numbered, even if he beat Draco and the intruders, he wouldn't be long for the world.
When it comes to actual ability as a wizard, a case can certainly be made that Draco Malfoy is more talented than Harry. The only thing that Potter beats Draco at is his flying ability on a broomstick, but even then Draco pushes him all the way.
Harry Potter was known to use wandless magic to grow his hair among other things, and Hermione Granger used her ability to practice by jumping off a tree and attempting to stop her fall.
Dumbledore may have been a legendary wizard, but he can't be compared to, well, Merlin, a wizard so legendary even Muggles know of his exploits. Merlin was the world's most famous wizard, and, arguably, the world's most powerful.
Dumbledore's experience and extensive knowledge of magic sets him apart from Voldemort and proves the extent of his power. In Harry Potter, not only does Dumbledore have immense magical skill and knowledge but, up until his death, he is the true owner of the Elder Wand.
Professor Mcgonagall did Wandless and Non-Verbal magic by simply waving her hand in one of the first books until it was "corrected" in future prints because people got mad over it, Dumbledore uses it in the third movie.
It is also said to be a fairly complicated spell. It depends on a persons willingness to kill someone and also the power behind the wand. To quote Barty Crouch/Mad-Eye Moody in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', “Avada Kadavra is a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it.
Throughout the Harry Potter series, we are led to believe that Dumbledore is one of the only people Voldemort actually fears. And there are many reasons for this. Firstly, Dumbledore defeated the last great Dark wizard, Grindelwald. Second, Dumbledore knows who Voldemort was before he became powerful.
Hagrid was a pupil at Hogwarts himself and was learning magic along with everyone else - until one horrible day in his third year, when he was expelled (for reasons we discover later on in the series). Although he was able to stay on as gamekeeper, his wand was snapped in half.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use. He has tons of happy memories... He had an amazing childhood. However, she also said Snape was the only Death Eater who could produce a Patronus.
Unforgivable Curses are the three most powerful and sinister spells known to the wizarding world, and are tools of the Dark Arts. They were first classified as "Unforgivable" in 1717. They are the Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, the Cruciatus Curse, Crucio, and the Imperius Curse, Imperio.
