Hello everyone, wont go into much detail but ive just finished listening to the books for a second time ( the audio books by jim dale) and the second time was much more enjoyable. I do have a few questions that i didnt put together the first time though and hope you can help me. Im sure these questions have been asked and answered but i am new and havent had the chance to read every page here.

1. The differance between warlocks and wizard? she doesnt seem to clarify(at least in the 7 books) the differant or if there is one.

2. Why couldnt harry,voldemort, ect cast spells using parcel tongue?
Is it that the spells we're not created for it? but then other langues like geman, french, and others would have to differant too right? I ask this because when harry was chasing snape from the grounds snape deflected all his spells, would have had a hard time when harry was hissing.

3.
Spoiler:

When harry get killed by voldemort in the last book he goes to "kings cross station" and theres the baby, Its made pretty clear that its voldemort but as a baby. Im asking what the reason of him being there is and whys he's a baby? Harry says "ive seen what you become" and wonder how its possible.



4. Another one i remember came to me, Im pretty sure i know the asnwer but do you reckon harry gave draco his wand back?

Any help would be appreciated

No difference. Warlock, Wizard, Mage etc. are just synonyms.

As far as we know, all wizards have to say the same incantations - in Latin. Saying an incantation in French, German, Parseltongue or even English for that matter - would not work.

The "baby" he sees is the last piece of Voldemort's soul that is still in his body. That's why it looks like a reddish-black, scaly, maimed baby. And that is what Harry means when he says "I've seen what you become".

I would assume he did. Why shouldn't he?

I think at one time there might have been a difference, but now I think the terms are interchangable.

Most of the spells are Latin based... The real question should be, what is the importance of verbal spells? In other words, do the spells already exist without the words and the words are just there to help guide the magic? Or are the words spoken vital to the magic?
These threads might interest you...

From JKR's official site...


Section: F.A.Q.
(SPOILER WARNING)
What exactly was the mutilated baby-like creature Harry saw at King's Cross in chapter 35 of 'Hallows'?

I’ve been asked this a LOT. It is the last piece of soul Voldemort possesses. When Voldemort attacks Harry, they both fall temporarily unconscious, and both their souls - Harry's undamaged and healthy, Voldemort’s stunted and maimed - appear in the limbo where Harry meets Dumbledore.

I would guess so, eventually. I know he'd have to fight the urge to snap it, though, lol. I know I certainly wuold rather snap Dracos wand... or maybe just stick it up...

I guess Harry could have given Draco his wand back...

But then it wouldn't really work for him again, would it?

The wand had Harry's allegiance because Harry won that wand from a struggle with Draco.

So if he just handed it back to Draco, and Draco didn't actually win it back himself...then he wouldn't have the wand's allegiance anymore, and it probably wouldn't work properly for him.

It's more likely that Draco just had another wand made for him.

hello, i am ravvy, and i am here to assist you

1. The differance between warlocks and wizard? she doesnt seem to clarify(at least in the 7 books) the differant or if there is one.

Spoiler:

one has a manhood (wizard) and the other has a womanhood (witch)





2. Why couldnt harry,voldemort, ect cast spells using parcel tongue?

Spoiler:

the more he used his powers of voldemation.... the more uncle mortie can get to him




i hope that helped

There were only a few who could actually speak the language so I doubt there was ever a time to convert them to a "dead language". Also, I always thought the spells where the same where ever you went.

Ok, as for the warlock and wizard thing -- like many others, I don't think that there is a difference.

I think that warlock is an old-fashioned term that was only used in certain geographical locations to begin with. It's soda vs. pop vs. fizzy drinks. The name is different everywhere.

When ever I read the Potter books I always thought the term "Warlock" was a term of respect for elder wizards.
