    so when i was little i always associated witches with Halloween and The Wizard of Oz. then Harry Potter taught me about wizards. then my cousin said that witches are girls and wizards are boys. now he was talking about Harry Potter so the whole witches being girls confused me. so can someone explain that to me in a way that i can understand it please.

    Er, girls are called witches and guys are called wizards, even at Hogwarts.

    ...If that's what you're asking. ._.

    In the world of Harry Potter, magical males are wizards, and magical females are witches. Witch is just used as the female equivalent of wizard, like how in the real world, there are actors and actresses.

    As Misty said, in the world of Hogwarts there is no difference in magical power between witches and wizards. It just like saying girls and boys.

    Why do I get the feeling this started because of my "are you a wizard" thread, well it's not, I just got that feeling, oh well.

    Anyway I agree what mostly everyone is saying, boys are wizards as girls are witches, not really just in the Harry Potter world mind you.

    According to Beedle The Bard, a dark wizard/witch or something. Even if a warlock is the actual counterpart for a witch.

    The way I learned it in general mythology, the default for a witch is a girl and the male version of a witch is a warlock. A wizard is male by default and the female wizard is usually still a wizard but can also be called a wyccan (sp?).

    Witch = Female magical person.
    Wizard = Magical male
    Warlock = Extremely powerful magical person, usually evil.
    Sorcerer = Extremely powerful magical male, usually good.
    Soceress = Extremely powerful magical female, usually good.

    And just for Mr. Over-9000:
    Wiccan = A practitioner of the ancient pagan beliefs of Wicca, which has been reffered to as witchcraft and is actually all about nature and energies. (I only know that because I read a Wicca magazine.)

    That's not true at all...

    Wiccan* :) Alot of times, there usually isn't any differentiation between genders. You're all generally Wicca.

    Have you ever heard of Wiccan? Or Paganism? All forms of modern day witchcraft. It is very real :)

    Unless you provide me with a video that shows me a person who is performing some magical ritual with flying objects or whatever, I stand by my earlier comment.

    But yes, I have heard of that.
