was harry potter type magic ever real?

I don't necessarily mean all the harry potter stuff just the part of being able to see the magic or spell or something like that. I mean the thought had to of come from some where. I've also heard of old stories were that type of magic is mentioned and that those people were burned or never seen again. I'm just wondering if any of it was ever true?

    Harry Potter Magic is parlour tricks and Hollywood...

    Magic spelt thus, is sleight of hand, parlour tricks..

    Magick spelt like this is the real thing, but I know that all the religious people will say it comes from Satan, and others simply wouldn't believe in it if it was right in front of them...

    There is nothing supernatural about magick..

    Magick is simply a manipulation of energy, to bring about a desired result..

    Christians pray, their prayer is answered, not from God, but from the natural forces that are all around us, that is magick..

    But they will go on believing that their God answered their prayer, that is entirely up to them..

    If you know anything about Witchcraft, which is the Craft of the Wise, then you would know that the Universe will not grant spells of power, wealth and many other things that people often try to use the Craft for..

    Remember also, what ever you send out into the Universe will come back to you threefold, it's called the Law of Three or The Law of the Threefold Return...

    And it harm none, do what you will...

    "The thought had to come from somewhere" - yes, from someones imagination. Just like Frankensteins Monster. Or can you find any truth in that story too?

    Supposed witches used to be burnt at the stake because superstitious people, many centuries ago, thought they had magic and evil powers. No one takes witchcraft seriously these days, as we all know that it's a fallacy. So there's no need to burn anyone.

    Harry Potter magic was never real - neither was any of the other sort.

    The people that were burned were burned because they were accused of being witches or using witchcraft. They would blame it on a group or one person and they would torture them till they got an answer. Everything from just being a smart person to having crops die, they had to find the "witch" and dispose of it. If you want to do more look up the salem witch trials.

    No, Unforunatly Harry Potter magic isn't real. It would be really fun though :D

    Magick is very real.

    You have to look at that movie like looking at a show about doctors.

    You will see all kinds of things in a hospital that would never work in real life.

    That is what Hollywood does with everything to make it more exciting for us.

    The real magick is much slower with much more work and much less effect, but yes, it is very real indeed.
