Chys:

Why couldn't Harry do wandless/nonverbal magic on the train when he 
was trapped under the 'petrificus totalus' curse? Well, he had 
tried 'accio wand', and failed. I would think that would be a very 
emotionally charged time, so for that arguement, I don't know how it 
stands unless he's simply not skilled enough with it yet. Maybe it was 
harder because he was trying it nonverbally and his own wand is a 
crutch, a tool he's become dependant upon?
