Can Wizards LOSE Their Magical Powers? - Harry Potter Theory

Ойын-сауық

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing MAGIC and whether or not this powerful force of nature can ever be STRIPPED away from those who wield it. In the world of Harry Potter where magic is omnipresent and omnipotent, I can’t help but wonder
whether the extraordinary abilities possessed by witches and wizards can ever be lost.
Typically, witches and wizards (who are destined to wield magic) begin exhibiting signs of magical ability in childhood. Though within this timeframe there is considerable variety.
For instance, individuals such as Professor McGonagall exhibited clear indications of magic from an early age. In her earliest moments, she demonstrated remarkable abilities- playing her father's bagpipes, summoning toys to her crib, and even exerting control over the household cat. Similarly, Ariana Dumbledore showcased her magical prowess during her early childhood.
Conversely, individuals like Neville Longbottom took a longer time to manifest their magical abilities. Although he, too, exhibited magic in his earliest hours by discreetly manipulating his blanket for added security, this subtle act went unnoticed. Neville did not demonstrate magic again until a more pressing situation forced it out of him. It occurred when he was dropped from a height and fortuitously bounced, resulting in his rescue from a potentially dreadful fall.
Overall, however, it’s agreed that magic is displayed (at a MINIMUM) by the time the witch or wizard reaches eleven years old, otherwise known as Hogwarts age.
But I wonder…Can magic be stripped away just as quickly as it manifests? Can one who finds themselves accustomed to their magical capabilities be then reduced to what is effectively a..Squib?
Today we’re going to discuss witches and wizards losing magic in Harry Potter. We will also touch upon instances of losing magic in other fictional works, such as the concept of severing in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time or the magic loss depicted in Lev Grossman's The Magicians. Hopefully, by drawing comparisons to these fictional universes, we can shed light on whether similar occurrences exist in J.K. Rowling's own creation.

    good point. This would also link in to the theory that without positive emotion the magical powers are reduce and would also explain why it's harder to cast patronuses when a dementor comes near. I think if that's true then harry being highly regarded as strong in his magic would be because of this. He's learnt to carry on through the attac of a dementor to fight it and like hermione said he that's magic some fully grown witches and wizards can't do. I actually remember Lupin saying that not hermione. Hermione just said something like that when saying that victor crum said he couldn't even do some of the spells hary could! So to conclude. your point makes total sence

    I think one should remember Lockhart's situation. When he stripped his own memory, he no longer could use magic. We know it is because he forgot how but it leads further to the issues of Dementia or Alzheimer where a person could slowly lose the ability or maybe only remember what they could do as a child.

    There is also the example of Tonks' magic being affected by her love, at that time unrequited, for Remus Lupin in that she was less able to morph. It seems to me that the link between trauma and magic is clear when discussing both Ariana Dumbledore and Neville Longbottom. Although it's never explicitly stated, it may have been that Alice and Frank were tortured in their home, in front of their infant son. This may have been why Neville manifested no magic after that until forced by a life-threatening fall, and why he simply took longer to come into his own, magically speaking. Very interesting indeed.

The unrequitted love was causing her to essentially lose her powers....to a much lesser extent though because on some level lupin did love her..i mean, they got married afterall. but it DOES happen outside of just that one occurance/mention

    In the Hogwarts legacy game we do get some more information about wizards and magic. Hogwarts is actually quite a small school and Uagadou is both the largest school and they do not use wands to channel magic. And most other magical non-humans do not employ wands. Even Harry himself has some quite powerful non wand magic even mimicking Voldemort’s unusually “powerful” ability to fly when he flew onto the school roof as a child. So magic in wizards seems more latent and the wand is only a useful tool.

  • @eranshachar9954

    Good examples excluding the wand manner. That is because a witch/wizard who actually worth something will learn to master wandless and non verbal magic, it is proven possible as the African school of magic teaches exactly that as a school standard. Also Broad Stroke made a 12 part series talking about the 1st Wizarding War with their own unique writing. Something who was purely their own unique fiction is a dark potion which strips a magical person of his magical powers. I know it doesn't officially exist as the story is fan made, but in theory you could create damaging potions like these.

    The ties between magic and science reminds me of the 1998 "Worst Witch" and its spin-offs. While the witches and wizards there value traditional magic ad cast spells with their fingers instead of wands, they're not afraid to look into science. They have their own Elixirs Of Life; one of which was made from Sorcerer's Eggs (made from "left-over" magic). Yet, those elixirs may or may not have an effect on humans (there's barely any mention of it to be honest). Still, there's also a study on time/time-travel along with a phenomenon called "The Foster's Effect" or "Misgone Magic". While the wizards of "Harry Potter" appear to go overboard with their magic, it's rather different with "Worst Witch". The latter's magic needs to adhere by The Witch's Code with the spells not to be used for "selfish or trivial reasons". And they must be careful in their spell-casting as The Foster's Effect can cause everything to go insane to the point of causing a natural disaster. Especially if opposing wizards cast the same spell at the same time.

    There was never a mention of a penalty of any kind to the breaking of the Goblet of Fire contract. It was simply said to be binding, meaning compulsory. It is possibly like the Imperius curse, though that was never specified either. It is just a plot point to force Harry unwillingly into his latest set of adventures. Nowhere in the book series is it indicated that anyone can take away somebody else’s magic. The idea that muggleborns “steal” magic is clearly presented as nonsensical bigotry. Tonks and Merope have emotional illnesses that weaken their magic, but nothing can remove it from them. Other fantasy universes include the possibility of magical power being blocked or removed, but not the Potterverse.

    Like the Force, Magic is based in one’s inherit sensitivity to it. That meaning that, millennia ago, Rakatta scientists attempted to create a super chlorian, but failed, many times, and cast out their failed creations in disgust. One of these, the Anti-Chlorians, so dubbed due to their ability to be enhanced by strong emotional attachment rather than corrupted, found their way to Earth. Several creatures, including humans, were exposed to these energies and thus mutated over time to become what we know today as Witches Wizards, House Elves, Goblins, etc. Moreover, due to the Anti-Chlorians being unable to affect Force Sensitive beings in any meaningful way, much less any beneficial way to the Anti-Chlorians, these Anti-Chlorians created a sort of failsafe, which prevents Medi-Chlorian based powers from working on earth. However, there is an override for the failsafe, in the fact that if a Magic wielding entity attempts to use their powers on a Force Sensitive entity, then the magical entity shall lose some of their Anti-Chlorians, effectively boosting the Force Sensitive’s Medi-Chlorians in the process. The Anti-Chlorians may regain over time, but enough casting of spells at a Jedi will eventually lead the magic wielder to either temporarily or permanently lose their magical powers. However, in the event that a magic wielding entity is able to use their powers against a Force Sensitive to the point of complete loss of their Anti-Chlorians, then said magic wielder would disintegrate as if they’d been hit by a Class D Weapon, (i.e. an Ion S of course shouldn’t normally happen, as power shut off should occur before this point, but for some they may be just powerful enough to pull it off. Also, it should be noted that Force Sensitive entities are able to manually siphon off Anti-Chlorians from magic wielders simply by touching them and using the Force to drain them like a battery. Some particularly well trained Jedi can even siphon off Anti-Chlorians simply by being in proximity to these magic wielding entities, the energy going from the magic wielder to the Jedi in question. In any case, this gives the Force Sensitive a sort of supercharge to their Medi-Chlorians, enabling them to temporarily override the failsafe and use the Force on Earth. A Force Sensitive could also use this ability to remove a magic wielder’s Anti-Chlorians directly without the boost to their own Medi-Chlorians, putting on hand on the magic wielder and then spewing the Anti-Chlorians out the other hand, using the Force. This would render the Anti-Chlorian Sensitive completely and permanently powerless, completely muggleized. Anyways, Rockatoa, Brickticks out!

    The ability to use magic is genetic. That is a fact. You have the genes or you don’t. On that note, I’d argue that squibs could be considered to be born with a birth defect in these genes. The strength of magic however seems to come from the soul. An individuals will power seems to be the driving force of their strength.

    Of course the Scottish witch plays bagpipes. J.K. Rowling isn't very subtle. I think I heard that Rowling was going to write about natives. A native author cleared her throat, and it seems like Rowling got right back in her lane because I never saw it come out. That may be the most respect she's ever shown any group of people.

    So why do they need to speak a spells? If it is biological like mutants, then speaking spell to gather greater concentration would be a placebo to their powers just something to make them feel better... it seems to me to be more supernatural along the lines of unlocking a combination of rituals that access a natural energy .. not really a mutation like x men for example?

    Non verbal or not .. the element of a chain of words to activate their magic is still needed.. even if others don’t hear it.. the person still has to think the spell ..mutants never need a combination of words or spells to activate their powers

    @@theartframe9596 nor do they. All wizards and witches do magic without spells as kids, it’s just really unfocused. House elves, goblins, centaurs, and tons of other creatures also use magic without language. Spells are likely a byproduct of the way the human mind works. There’s other forms of magic that don’t use words at all, like potions, arithmancy, herbology, just to name the few I’m aware of. I don’t think x men is a good comparison to Harry Potter, as those mutants have extremely different mutations, and there would be no organized theory of practice (I’d wager; I didn’t read the comics). It’s completely apples to oranges, as wizards and witches have a shared ancestry with muggles. If witches and wizards (who are not muggle born, even if they’re half bloods) have kids with other non-muggles for three generations, they are considered pure blood. This is the sort of pure blood James Potter is, as Potters are not part of the ancient pure blood lines. James Potter has some muggle ancestry. It’s also worth noting that many squibs like Mrs Figg, with magical genes (can see dementors, for instance) integrate with muggle society and marry muggles. It’s not unlikely that some “muggle-borns” are a few generations from a secret magical ancestry. Especially since wizards and muggles were a joint society until the war that led to the statute of secrecy. Also, witches and wizards in HP can develop new magics and ancient forms magic that fall out of practice are forgotten and mysterious. So, it’s not a random mutation, in my opinion, but it is genetic.

    I'm inclined to believe that the magic in the Harry Potter world is a natural ability available to those who have the gift. Nothing truly supernatural about it, nor does magic come from god or any other godlike being. I'm inclined to think that in time even Muggles would find a way to tap into the energy field witches and wizards are taping into.
