Even if Harry was just reading a spell book... he'd still need the
light, so... (in the books he has a Muggle Flash Light, I just wonder
where he got it - or whether the batteries didn't run out...)

In a way, Harry can't even do his *homework* without using Lumos...
and a Muggle would think he just has a flash light that looks like a
stick/wand... (I wonder if Warner Bros. will make such... Pen-shaped
flashlights already exist, and making one look like a wand isn't that
far off...)<<

Hmm, he *does* use it outside of school in OotP, and I don't believe 
that was mentioned at the hearing (I think they only mentioned the 
patronus charm). Perhaps its not strong enough magic to catch on the 
radar? Or its not worth the manpower to go after every underage 
wizard who uses lumos or reparo.
Just a thought.
