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.
