| Flight (Volare senza scopa) If Lord Voldemort wasn't one of the most evil wizards the wizarding worlds ever known, then he would surely be remembered as one of its most brilliant. Case in point: he achieved what was long thought to be a magical impossibility, and invented a spell that allows the user to fly. Not levitate, not ride a broom, but fly unaided high among the clouds. How incredible is that? It's just a shame that his first public display of it was an attempt to kill Harry Potter. 
It happened during the 'The Seven Potters' chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where the Order of the Phoenix are trying to move Harry to a safe location, but are attacked on the way. Here's the shocking moment: 'And then Harry saw him. Voldemort was flying like smoke on the wind, without broomstick or Thestral to hold him, his snake-like face gleaming out of the blackness, his white fingers raising his wand again.' E Harry lo vide. Voldemort volava come fumo nel vento, senza una scopa o un Thestral. Il suo volto da serpente brillava nel buio, le dita bianche levarono di nuovo la bacchetta...Given that only Voldemort can perform it, there's no way of knowing for sure how difficult flying is. But given that he was the first wizard in all of history to create such a spell, it's safe to assume that Madam Hooch has nothing to worry about. Uhm... chissą perchč, ma Pottermore si dimentica di segnalare che anche Piton ha imparato il trucchetto di volare senza scopa... |
