In the Wizarding World, spells can be cast in many different ways.

With wands. Without wands. Verbally. Nonverbally.

We also know that things like wand loyalty can affect how well a witch or wizard is able to channel his or her magic.

So my question today is: Does speaking the spell out loud actually make it stronger? And while we’re at it, I’ll also be diving into whether magic performed with a wand is inherently more powerful than wandless casting.
