Is Magic Getting WEAKER Over Time? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing whether or not magic in the wizarding world of Harry Potter is becoming weaker with each passing decade.

At the mere age of eleven, when a young Harry Potter discovered that he was a wizard, the spells and incantations that he encountered were - for lack of a better word - MAGICAL. Everything that he witnessed from the time that Hagrid came and got him from that island in the sea, it all just seemed so impressive. I mean, a half-giant who could put a pig's tail on his cruel bully of a cousin? Incredible. Especially for our poor boy, Harry, who had suffered terribly at the terrorising hands of Dudley. And lest we forget the marvels that awaited him in Diagon Alley, or the simple fact that his Transfiguration Professor could transform into a cat and then back again? All of these displays of magic seemed quite amazing indeed. At least at the time.
