Alla:

Best piece of magic? Heeee, as in my favorite symbolic magic is 
definitely Harry's patronus, I also love Map. I love so many things 
that people already named.

I love love Minerva's battle magic that she unleashed at Snape. I 
love Dumbledore's battle magic with Voldemort. 

But as the piece of magic I want to have and use? Um, Molly's 
household spells and lovely house elf would be nice too.

Oh, oh and I want to fly on the broom as well. Very cool.  And I want 
to have access to phoenix' tears.

I really have to think about worst piece of magic, since nothing 
comes to mind right away. I mostly love them all, but I think if I 
were force to choose, I would probably choose memory charms and 
legilimency.

I have no problem in the context of Potterverse with memory charms on 
muggles, since I understand the premise of keeping two worlds 
separate and distinct, but I do find them to be a violation of one's 
identity. I would like to be able to choose whether I want to forget 
something or not, thank you very much.

Legilimency? GRRRRRRR – mind rape as far as I am concerned. And yes, 
this is a problem I have no matter who uses it – Dumbledore or Snape 
or Voldemort.

JMO,
