{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Beginner Spoiler}}
Our first introduction to this statute is the note given to every student at the close of each school year; [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] first receives his at the end of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 17|''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'']]. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]] comment they always hope the note will be forgotten one year, but
Harry first runs afoul of this law in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 2|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']] when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dobby|Dobby]] uses a Hover Charm to destroy a dessert in the Dursleys' kitchen. Evidently, the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] assumes Harry performed the magic, because a letter is sent by one [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mafalda Hopkirk|Mafalda Hopkirk]] warning him not do that again.
When Harry accidentally inflates his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marge Dursley|Aunt Marge]], he is deathly afraid that, having violated this Statute, he may now be expelled from the Wizarding world. He decides his only recourse is to become a fugitive, but as he is approaching [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]] to retrieve his money, he is intercepted by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|Cornelius Fudge, the Minister for Magic]]. Fudge inexplicably dismisses the inflating incident.

When Harry uses [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Expecto Patronum|the Patronus charm]] to protect [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]] from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]], he is once again told that he has violated this Decree, and his wand will be destroyed. This results, eventually, in a hearing, at which it is determined that Harry was justified in using magic to defend himself and a Muggle bystander against a magical threat.
Finally, Harry is overjoyed when, on his seventeenth birthday, he is
== Analysis ==
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], we learn that the technique that is used to determine whether a Wizarding child has performed magic is called the Trace. This apparently will detect a child using magic by
One must wonder, though, about the Trace's accuracy. There is no apparent notice when Aunt Marge's glass magically shatters, or the cabinet under the stairs magically unlocks as Harry leaves [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]]. There is no apparent notice when magic occurs in Harry's vicinity when he stays at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Burrow|the Burrow]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Grimmauld Place|Grimmauld Place]], or in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Diagon Alley|Diagon Alley]]. There is no notice of the magic occurring in his vicinity when he is being visited by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Arthur Weasley]], the Advance Guard, or [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] at Privet Drive, or when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] is taking him off the island and back to shore in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone|the first book]]. If we assume that the Trace can detect an adult wizard, and damp its responses accordingly, then the only unexplained situations are the shattering wineglass and the opening cupboard during Aunt Marge's stay at Privet Drive, and possibly the summoning of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Knight Bus|Knight Bus]]. Those, along with Aunt Marge's inflation, might have been lumped together and forgiven by Cornelius Fudge.
