Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. It's during the first book/film, the Philosopher's Stone, that Harry is first introduced to the Wizarding World. And upon his first discovery of this magical realm, he's filled with both excitement and confusion.

"Harry - Yer a Wizard"

"I'm a what?" Gasped Harry

This was a boy who had, for all his waking years, endured a painfully DULL and oppressive life at 4 Privet drive alongside the Dursleys. And now, suddenly, in a single moment, an entire magical world seems to be calling his name.

Potions. Spells. Magical Creatures. Magic Wands. All of it.

And this sudden revelation of a hidden world offered not only a glimmer of hope�but also the promise of a life far beyond the ordinary.

And what does Harry go and do?

CAST absolutely no spells for the entire first film.

No, really. Harry Potter, the BOY WHO LIVED, Voldemort SLAYER- doesn't cast ANYTHING.

But.... What about when he.... And that time when they were...

Nope. Nothing.
