Re: Archie & Sookie (Pre-everyone else arriving)
Archie let out a long whistle. "That's a lot of siblings. I didn't think anyone could rival the Weasley clan." He listened attentively as she explained about the other versions due to the time travel aspect of the island. It was pretty extraordinary, even for a wizard.
"Do you have any ideas?" he asked, glancing around once more. "A techno-wizard? What's that exactly? And I don't think I've met a Harry yet." Archie had always been interested in the different wizards and witches around the world and learning about those from entirely different worlds or Universes certainly caught his attention. "Wandless magic can be... let's say volatile. European wizards invented the wand as a way to better channel magic, so make spell casting more accurate, potent and reliable.
"Usually only the most powerful and disciplined can perform advanced wandless magic reliably." Archie, himself, could do the occasional wandless spell but only ones he could do with his eyes closed, so to speak. "You do get the odd accidental wandless magic with under elevens, before they receive their wands and letter to Hogwarts."
