I was wondering what spells are cast nonverbally, and what spells are
cast verbally. There, obviously, is a big emphasis on non-verbal
spells in HBP, and I noticed that even though most incantations
are "thought", Dumbledore says "Lumos." The unforgivable curses are
also spoken. However, in the Ministry Battle in OoP, the Death Eaters
were using a lot of non-verbal, as were the Oop memebers. Why, if all
spells could be non-verbal, would anybody speak the incantation out
loud? This seems like unneccessary effort to me.
Any ideas?
