I was reading through this question Can a Muggle do anything with a wand? and Valorum’s answer said this:




JKR addressed this point in an interview in 2006;



"I been asked what would happen if a Muggle picked up a magic wand in my world. And the answer would probably be something accidental... possibly quite violent. Because a wand, in my world, is merely a vehicle — a vessel for what lies inside the person."




So then what if you’re someone who is completely good and has no "violence" inside of you, would you then be able to use a wand?

  • I think a tablet with a fancy, expensive drawing app might be a good analogy. Anyone can scribble on the screen, but it takes talent and practice to paint something people (beyond the immediate family) would consider art.

No, you've misunderstood the quote.



JKR isn't saying that the result would be violent because violence is what lies inside a Muggle (though it does sound like something the Malfoys might come up with) but that the result of a Muggle using a wand would be uncontrolled because the Muggle lacks the ability to control magic - that's the power that lies inside a wizard, and which the wand is a vessel for.



By way of analogy, imagine a three-year-old driving a car. The outcome would probably be unintentional, and possibly quite violent, but that's not because it is in the nature of children to be violent but because they lack the ability to control the vehicle. Their character doesn't matter, only their ability.
