My 2am musings:
As ITV have recently shown all the Harry Potter films, I made time to watch them all in sequence. I studied them closely but I fail to see him as a wizard. All the magic that happens is either given to him or done to him. The only thing you ever see him do for himself is shoot people with his Phazer-wand – which was given to him.
Hermione does all the donkey-work magic while Harry gets all the fame.
Am I missing something?
