Wizards are NOT what you think they are.

Halloween is fast approaching, and I feel that now would be a good time to talk about wizards. Most people know about Harry Potter in some way shape or form. Whether it be the movies, the books, or word of mouth, it is known. Right now, the picture of "Wizard" you get from that book is completely different from the picture of "Wizard" you get from The Wizard Heir (in which I have not finished yet). Each has its own unique qualities, and both are alike in some ways. Now for the compare and contrast segment.

What's Alike:
There are some things that a wizard cannot be without ☺. Both my book and the Harry Potter series, wizards have magic, but that's a give in. In both book series, the wizard must speak charms to do the most powerful magic. As well as this, wizards must be trained in both series. That is where the similarities end.

Harry Potter:
I'll begin with the more well known series of books. Many know that wizards in this book must have a wand to use magic. This wand aims, and controls the magic in most ways. In this book, there are just wizards, witches, and muggles (non-magical people). You would find out that you are a wizard if you have magic, or don't have magic. In the series, wizards can also specialize into other fields of magic, like sorcery, for-seeing, and transfiguration. There are also schools dedicated specifically to wizardry in this series.

The Wizard Heir (The Heir Chronicles #2):
This lesser known series of books puts a completely different spin on how wizardry works. The largest difference is that wizards have a specific weir-stone that allows them to work magic through words. As well as this, there are three more classes. Weir (Wizards), anawizard weir (non-wizards whom bear a weir-stone) and anaweir (regular people). Many of the wizards consider themselves higher than all others.in this book, and don't care about regular people. They don't use wands either; just words. There are more types of magic as a whole in this series.

Thank you for taking time to read this, and keep reading!
