When someone uses Expelliarmus!, what is to prevent the disarmed from immediately using Acio Wand! to be re-armed? What is more, wouldn't it be a great reversal to use Acio Wand! Expelliarmus!, and thus be now armed against an unarmed opponent?

I'm just wondering why the Greatest Wizard of All Time would be even slighly hampered by a 16-year-old's simple disarming charm.

i think you can only summon or disarm with a wand. if you are disarmed, there is no way you can accio your wand since you do not have your wand with you to cast out the spell in the first place

Thats not true. In book 5 Harry dropped his wand when he was with Dudley and the Dementors were closing in, it was totally dark and HArry just said "Lumos" and his wand lit with out him holding it. Magic can be cast without a wand.

I didn't say every spell can be cast without one. I was just trying to say it isn't impossible to do so...

Lumos probably worked because it's most likely one of the simplest spells there are. Plus, Harry's fingers emitted a spark before the wand lit up. Just FYI (not that it's relevant).

Hey I always wondered wouldn't it make sense to carry more than one wand, I know certain ones work better than others, but still a back up would be good most wizards have to replace the first one they get anyway like Ron and Neville.

yes that did confuse me. The rules of magic can be really complicated when compared with other rules. I don't know about rules but you know what im trying to say.

That's a good point. If I were Harry, and inherited a large sum of money, I'd definitely do that.
