→‎Analysis: Harry using magic in the cave with Dumbledore
Dòng 29:
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 triggering some alert within the Ministry. Apparently, in order to be sensitive enough to register the child using small spells, it also detects other magic being used nearby. We are told that in Wizarding households, it is the parents' responsibility to monitor their child using magic, as adults using magic near him may trigger the Trace accidentally; [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle-born|Muggle-born]] wizards, however, are directly monitored by the Ministry, as it is assumed that the only magic that can occur near them is their own. This is presumably why Dobby's Hover charm was attributed to Harry.
 
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]]. Additionally, the Trace did not trigger when Harry was casting spells to try and revive Dumbledore in the cavern, or Apparate him back to Hogwarts, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 26|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], or when he was using defensive magic against Death Eaters in ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''. 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. The defensive magic use against Death Eaters may be something of an anomaly; Hagrid presumably had been reinstated as a legal wizard by that time, so his close proximity to Harry might have damped the Trace's response. It is also possible that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rufus Scrimgeour|Rufus Scrimgeour]] may be trying to cover up the scale of the Death Eater attack, so as to not let on how powerful [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] has become.
 
However, it is also true that the Ministry does not seem to be aware of Harry's use of magic before he turns eleven. In the first chapters of ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'', Harry unknowingly shrinks a horrible sweater down to doll-size so that he won't have to wear it, flies to a rooftop to avoid a beating from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley]] and his gang, regrows his hair overnight, and makes the glass vanish from a snake's cage. However, there are no warnings issued by the Ministry during this time. Possibly the Trace is only activated when the child reaches the age of 11 and is assumed to be consciously able to direct his or her magic. Could the law also prevent selling or giving wands to children under the age of 11?
