May 31, 2015 at 8:57 comment added Anthony Grist Without fleshing it out to a proper answer, it seems to be mostly natural talent with hard work on top. If you look at three of the most powerful wizards from the series - Voldemort, Dumbledore and Snape - they're all shown as inventing new aspects of magic, not just being able to learn all of the already established spells that are taught at Hogwarts.

May 31, 2015 at 2:05 comment added JMFB @Richard I read it. I edited parts of it, but it needs a lot more grammatical/spelling/sentence structure/etc. work. In addition, it only really scratches at the answer, and like you both mention it lacks anything canon.
May 31, 2015 at 1:23 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @Richard - leaving aside poor canon backing for that answer, it really should be migrated to THIS question, as it doesn't really asnswer the linked one :)
May 30, 2015 at 23:29 comment added Valorum @DVK - This answer would appear to answer the question above quite nicely, without more than the most superficial changes.
May 30, 2015 at 23:21 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @Richard - don't think it's a dupe. That one asks what the definition of powerful is. This one seems to ask about the process to achieve that definition. A good answer to both would be quite different (though might use same quotes in places)
May 30, 2015 at 23:16 comment added Valorum If you don't like the answers on the dupe, you have some choices. You could a) Seek clarification from the people who posted the existing answers OR b) Post a bounty with a custom reason ("I want more info about x") OR c) research and post your own answer.
May 30, 2015 at 23:12 comment added JMFB @Richard Yes it is pretty much the same. I didn't see this one when searching or typing mine in. However, his question at least the supporting part, included nothing but his opinion of what the answer should be. He included no supporting in-canon examples of wizards, their abilities, and what his question meant. He didn't finish it off with clearly stating what the crux (pun intended) of his question was. The answers were all lacking, probably because he didn't really frame his question clearly. How do I ask a similar question and get some in-canon answers. I'm really curious about this.
