When did Harry *ever* get a wand spell to work properly the first

True,  DD uses non-lethal spells  in the Ministry, but who else is as 
powerful a wizard as he? Sure DEs can be captured, but keeping them 
secure when AK-toting friends are available to get them out is not 
likely. Unless DD does all the fighting, and keeps personal guard 
over them, the DEs are going to win by default.

This post just made me think, "can't wizards use ordinary weapons 
like guns etc.? Is their only way of fighting using wands and spells?"

It also made me think of a certain "Indiana Jones"-scene which always 
make me laugh. Indy is facing this sword-swinging guy and seems 
trapped with nowhere to run or hide. Things are looking real bad for 
Indy - until he shrugs his shoulders, sighs and pulls out his gun and 
shoots the sword-guy.

I can just picture Harry facing Voldemort the same way. Voldemort 
waving his wand - ready to strike - Harry wandless on the ground.... 
when suddenly he remembers the gun in his pocket and BANG! You're 
dead! 
Heh heh heh...... if that wouldn't cause Voldemort's jaw to drop  - 
nothing would :)
