In the Harry Potter universe:
* Yes, Harry Potter knows how to do magic. He is a wizard, meaning he has the innate ability to perform spells and charms. He learns and practices magic throughout the series, becoming a skilled and powerful wizard by the end.
* However, the magic in the Harry Potter universe is a fictional system. It follows its own rules and limitations. It's not based on real-world magical practices or beliefs.
In reality:
* There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of magic. What we consider "magic" is often explained by scientific principles or tricks of perception.
* So, in that sense, Harry Potter doesn't know how to do "real magic" as we understand it in the real world.
The question ultimately boils down to your personal interpretation. Do you believe in the possibility of magic? If so, then you might consider Harry Potter's magic to be "real" in your own imagination.
Ultimately, the magic in Harry Potter is a powerful storytelling tool that explores themes of good vs. evil, friendship, and self-discovery. Whether you believe in "real magic" or not, the story of Harry Potter is captivating and resonates with many people.
