harry potter - How would using two wands work?




The answer to this question should really focus on the either proving or disproving the points below and stating a summary or conclusion to your answer which states how you think the evidence more strongly aligns.


The first point would have to be whether it would work at all.


How would you cast a spell from two wands? Would you use them in separate hands or together? You do not need to answer these smaller points in your answer they are just my own thoughts.


The second point would have to be whether it would actually affect the power of the spell


As we all know (or at least I hope you do) the wand is used to focus magical energy so really would we not end up with a larger and less focussed point for magical energy?


Would you actually be able to cast one spell that went to two separate targets?


This would only be apt for using two wands in separate hands but the coordination required for this would be incredible and possibly take years to learn to do effectively at least.


End of points. Now for some discussion.


Clearly you would need two wands that would be aligned to you, thus the elder wand rears it's ugly head again! As Dumbledore would have had 2 wands at one point, Harry also did after repairing his own with the elder wand but that wasn't his style. Dumbledore out of all wizards could have learnt to use two wands although knowledge and skill was more to his liking that pure power.(The hallows excluded) I am going to imagine that I will gain an answer that will just state no wizard in the books was seen to do this so it isn't something that will happen.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....
