>From what I understand, and what other HP4GU-ers have told me, a wizard
or witch is able to perform magic without their wand but it's extremely
difficult. It's more commonly done with someone is feeling high
emotions. Since Harry was so completely furious, he was able to perform
the hex/charm without the use of his wand. Wands seem to make it much
easier for wizards to focus/access their natural magical ability but
they're not absolutely necessary.

I still think it's a bit fishy though. I'm waiting for a
character/villain/hero to pop up who has such a very strong will and
magical talent that they don't *need* a wand at all to perform magic.
Or at least someone to realize this and try to train their will. Heck,
if I had magic I wouldn't want to rely on having a wand with me. It can
easily be misplaced, broken, taken away from you. I'd rather be able to
focus my magic without the need for anything...
