Wandless magic is easy, huh?

[Bassilth]

I thought only powerful and practiced wizards can do wandless magic in HP lore reliably. Sure, some small spells can be done without a wand but all spells? Wandless magic is supposed to be difficult and unruly in the HP universe.

But according to Hogwarts Legacy writers, there is no difference between wandless magic and magic used with wands. Which means Expelliarmus is obsolete because you can just use all your spells without your wand. Oh and wand material, core, and length apparently dont affect magic either for some reason anymore.

Did the writers/devs just break the lore at its foundation?

Considering the conversation has no bearing on the actual gameplay it could just be down to artistic licence.
The girl did mention she was an Animagus and as far as i remember they dont need a wand to transform.

no hp lore is that hogwarts dont teach wandless magic so its not common meaning unless ur powerfull u wont be able to do it since ur used to using wands in africas school they all teach wandless magic making most off those students where natty is from very common and easy its confirmed by jk rowling that wandless magic in africa is way more common and taught its just that they grow up learning wandless magic so its way easier for them than someone like harry who grew up using a wand

So, again, wand lore, core, material, length means nothing at all?
Why give yourself a handicap with a wand when wandless magic is just as easy and powerful regardless of wands? Does this mean that Hogwarts is knowingly giving their students a handicap? Why didnt they teach their students wandless magic to trump the dark lord, then? Expelliarmus could be avoided. Why didnt Voldemort do wandless magic to avoid weakness? If wandless magic is just as potent?

1) It's the fkin Harry Potter Universe, stop taking it so seriously

2) It's a video game, a video game set in the fkin Harry Potter Universe, stop taking it so seriously

o.0?

I remember her saying it was just "different" with no specification of how or if it was stronger or weaker

No I'm very certain she said it was very difficult to learn how to do it and that they don't teach it anymore because it was too hard and not everyone got it.

Thank god, the more distance the better.

the wand is a conduit and enhancer of magic its purpose is to make the spell stronger and easier to cast

JK Rowling wrote it. Not the devs.

https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Wandless_magic

https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Uagadou

Uagadou students were famously skilled in Astronomy, Alchemy, and Self-Transfiguration. Wands were primarily a European invention, and although African wizards did adopt them as useful tools, Uagadou students preferred to cast spells simply by pointing their fingers or through other types of hand gestures.[2]

The school was referred to as Uagadou school of magic in Wonderbook: Book of Potions; though it is unclear if this is the school's full name. Pottermore referred to it simply as Uagadou in the title of a piece of information written by J. K. Rowling, but at the same time referred to Ilvermorny as Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It's wizarding world. So it absolutely is canon.

Nah. Rowling wrote that Uagadou students prefer using wandless magic than wands even back when the Wizarding World website was named Pottermore.

wandless magic isnt taught in hogwarts nor britain.. the theory is suppression/control of magic through wand use etc. you can find a lot of theories and debates about this online over the years..

[dickolasッ]

natty mentions that her magic school in africa taught wandless magic, she said it felt more "instinctive", my guess is its much harder to learn overall as the wand enhances your magical capabilities like a firearm enhances ones ability to kill someone. thats also why goblins cant have wands because magic flows through them differently i guess. idk im kinda talking out my ass here

In the first book I remember that prior to learning about Hogwarts Harry did have several moments where he clearly used magic without knowing and obviously without a wand. But I agree that if wands didn't help then they wouldn't be something used by basically every wizard we encounter in the story.

The best explanation I can think of is that the Ugandan magic users focus so heavily on wandless magic that they can perform decently. But its more a case of stubbornly making do with a style they're used to even if its no where near as efficient just doing it with a wand instead.

nope... its because they are black, so they are better than anyone else at magic ever
yuh

control the wand, control the magic, british as usual

I honestly just assumed it was because she was from Uganda. They had to add woke ♥♥♥♥ cause black people have to out do the white devil some how so they made wandless magic come naturally to them. It's the same reason we can't just be male or female cause you gotta appeal to the woke crowed even though they still hate the game cause Rowling said naughty things. You can't win with these people so I don't know why they keep trying.
