Based on the book he wrote, he discourages the usage of spells in a combative method, even for defensive purposes. Instead, he advocates a more passive approach to dealing with confrontation. He also disapproves of the term "[[Counter-jinx]]", as he believes it is simply a phrase to make [[jinx]]es more acceptable. [[Hermione Granger]], on the other hand, disagrees.
