In canon, when Dumbledore and Voldemort fought in Order of the Pheonix, they weren’t just launching high level spells like missiles, they were apparating around and manipulating the landscape around them. On one occasion, Dumbledore has Fawkes catch an Avada Kedavra for him (reducing him to a chick,) and I believe he may also have blocked another with an animated statue (although that might have been a different spell.)
I was extremely disappointed that the movie adaptation reduced their confrontation to a highly pyrotechnic instance of magical arm wrestling. J. K. Rowling may not have thought all her ideas out properly, but at least she managed to show that when wizards of Dumbledore and Voldemort’s caliber duel, they get creative.
you would probably enjoy the Read or Die OVA, which is one of the few instances I’ve seen on super heroes using their power instinctually (as they would if they’d had them from birth) rather than intentionally.
If anyone knows of anything else in this vein do share, I find it enjoyable.
