Voldemort vs. Palpatine (movies only)

[Ghost]

I thought his eyes were open... well... in a helmet at least...

To clarify, we've seen him block a blaster bolt without looking at it:

Ah, I was thinking of a different occasion.

I'm not sure if anyone can apparate without a wand..I remember in the last book Harry wondering if a woman who was being persecuted by the Ministry for "stealing magic" or whatever they were accusing non-purebloods of he wondered about it but was afraid to ask because if the answer was no then she probably didn't escape the Ministry.

Though if he could apparate without a wand I don't see a forcefield preventing it.

Ah right, right forgot about that scene. Nothing confirmed one way or the other I suppose, but in the movies we see him teleport and fly around so easily without the slightest flcik of his wand.

Well Voldemort could do things that should of normally been impossible in the manner he did them..mainly being able to fly without a broom or anything..so I wouldn't be surprised if he could teleport without a wand.

^ Don't the Aurors and Death Eaters fly around all the time in their mist form without brooms?

[Siriel]

Honestly we've actually heard the instructions for teleporting. It's pretty much "spin around and concentrate really hard".

I can't recall any mentions of wands at all during that scene.

What? No that does not happen.

Only in the movies IIRC.

In the books only Voldy and Snape could fly. I may be wrong though.

Here some to be flying around fighting

Again movie thing not book.

We're talking about the movie versions right?

[MorphyVSFischer]

Yes but the context of the conversation moved to Book Voldemort for a moment so I wanted to clarify.

[The Transient Guest]

Depends, are we allowing Voldemort his ghost form again?

I have a hilarious image of the two of them getting off a one shot on the other only to have force and wizard ghosts appear and start arguing about who is the victor.

To add a point to Siriel's comment:

I'm almost certain that Apparating did NOT require a wand in the books, neither during training nor when DD side-along'd Harry. I even remember being kind of surprised by it, since it seemed like powerful magic to get for "free."

Harry performs some fairly massive magic without a wand (vanishing the glass separating the snake-pit at the zoo, for example), and Tom Riddle does off-screen and on-screen as a child as well (Legilimency and mind-rape tries that fail against Dumbledore on-page and those same things against students and administration at his pre-Hogwarts "school" as well. Dumbledore has a fair number of feats, and it's expressly mentioned early-on in the books that powerful wizards just don't need wands to do many things.
