Wizards and witches are often depicted as individuals with magical abilities. They are commonly found in folklore, mythology, and fantasy literature. Wizards are typically portrayed as male magic users, while witches are often female. Both may use spells, potions, and magical artifacts to perform their magic. In many cultures, wizards and witches are associated with specific symbols, such as wands, cauldrons, and spellbooks. They can be seen as wise figures or, in some stories, as malevolent characters. Their portrayal varies widely, from benevolent guides in tales like Harry Potter to sinister figures in fairy tales.
