wizarding

Of sorcerous practice

Wizarding describes things related to wizards or the practice of magic: the wizarding world, wizarding school.

The word gained wide currency through the Harry Potter series, where it distinguishes magical society from the non-magical world.

Before that, it was rare, with *wizardly* being the more traditional adjective.
