I was going more off SKZB lore than Rowling. Gold Phoenix stone stops
sorcery but not psychic usage or witchcraft. Black Phoenix stone blocks
witchcraft and psychic stuff but not sorcery. Witchcraft works on Jenoine
worlds and in the paths of the dead, but sorcery doesn't. Sorcery works only
on Dragaera, but apparently necromancy works everywhere. Then there are
other kinds of magic (Great Weapons, Morrolan's window, Jenoine magic) which
are something else entirely. It just doesn't seem likely that Potterverse
magic would happen to be exactly the same as the one particular kind of
Brustian magic which is blocked by Gold Phoenix stone.

-Max, wondering what the Jenoine know about Phoenix stone.
