Hmm, no real click. More like this:

Edit:As I thought about this, I realized that I disagree with the post that "the magic is all in the mentors". The magic is there in the members of the team, and it is the mentor's job to inspire, guide, and help them develop their magic. If Ollivander were to describe me, it'd be something like:
Quote:
Seventy five inches, reasonably compliant, oceanographic acoustician with a core of physics.
Edit2: The analogy breaks down: When Harry claimed that the golden flames was a wand-summoned spell, no one believed him.
