Wizards were loremasters and among the very wisest in ME, but were very capable of doing extradonary things with their powers, but it was not something that they did lightely. In Harry Potter they just pop off those magic spells as if they were nothing. It's called a wizards duel, not a fireworks duel, like they show in Harry Potter (I won't even get started on that).

That's because the origional Star Wars was created 15 years earlier. Not within a couple years, like the Hobbit will be done.
