Am having a debate (with myself), as to whether flying is actually doing magic? Readers will know about the underage law, of course, but I am puzzled by a section in the book. When Harry is rescued from Dursleys', and stays at The Burrow, he and the Weasley boys go to a secluded acre of land owned by the family to play Quiddith (using apples as balls). Wouldn't this be regarded as underage magic?
shareno because the boys are not using their own internal magic, they are using the brooms built in magic. broom are one magical itewm muggles can use since the magic that makes them fly is built into the broom and can be tapped by anyone.

Interesting! Thanks. Where did you learn that or did you figure that out from the books?
It certainly makes sense.
It is in the books but I forget where. It may have been in Order of the Phoenix.

Ah! I am revisiting the books. Can understand why the Chasers like Anne Hegarty, on the British game show The Chase, only read the books, I must say the differences are confusing sometimes.
shareBesides, if they are around other witches/wizards, who could tell if it were underage wizards doing the magic or not.
