Question

if i was to use a sticking charm from harry potter and stuck to the surface of a body of water could i walk on water?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by "stuck to the surface of a body of water". If you mean that you stuck to the plane of surface by a miracle then yes. If you mean that you stuck to the molecules at the surface then no because they would go below the plane of the surface as you step on water.
