"To be able to accio an object, you must be able to see it 
or be VERY familiar with it."   -Grey Wolf

I have one problem with that. What about when Mrs. Weasly accio'ed the 
toffees from Fred and George's persons? She probably wasn't familiar with 
them and definitely couldn't see see. Perhaps that was different because she 
was so close. 

you'll notice that when Harry summons his firebolt to him he says "accio 
firebolt" but when Mrs. weasly used the charm she just said "accio." Also, 
when Harry was practicing the charm earlier, I *think* he was only saying 
"accio." Perhaps when a person is far away from the object they need to say 
it's name, or maybe Harry just felt like adding the word "firebolt" after 
"accio" because he felt like it, with no real significance. Possibly saying 
the name out loud helps a person get a better mental image of it.
