Well , tecnically speaking, all matter is made up of wave frequencies 
(not really solid). So if we are dealing with a bunch of particles in 
a giant soup called "reality", then it is possible to manipulate 
those particles into any form and in any way you choose to do it. I 
suppose the wizards have some form of telekinetic ability that we 
don't have that enables them to do that. I suspect the wand helps 
focus that ability in some way, although it's probably not necessary 
since Harry was "accidently" doing things before he went to Hogwarts, 
and the house elves perform magic without wands.
