But not all of it involves wand work.

Yes, but the same was true for book  6:

There was no need to stick the wand in that hard,' he  said gruffly, 
clambering to his feet. 'It hurt.' (p 64)

A hole opened in the middle of all the tentacle like branches;
Hermione  plunged her arm bravely into this hole, which closed like a
trap around  her elbow; Harry and Ron tugged and wrenched at the
vines, forcing the  hole to open again... (p 281)
 
Lupin burst out laughing. 'Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He
 called it my 'furry little problem'... (p 335)
 
'I dunno,' said Harry. 'Maybe it's better when you do it yourself, I 
didn't enjoy it much when Dumbledore took me along for the ride.' (p  355)
 
'You see?' Dumbledore said quietly, holding his wand a little higher.
 Harry saw a fissure in the cliff into which dark water was swirling.
 'You will not object to getting a little wet?' 'No,' said Harry.
'Then  take off your Invisibility Cloak... and let us take the plunge.' (p
556) 

It was also interesting that everybody at school took it as a given
that Ginny would know if Harry had a tattoo of a dragon on his body
and where it was. I mean, those long "walks" with Ginny did seem to
make Harry VERY happy.
