I put together an answer to this a while back from one of the HP articles I wrote:

Question 5. - "Some people object that the Harry Potter books do not teach legitimate spells, and are therefore harmless. What would you say to that?"

Answer: What the books 'do' teach children is the concept of magick, that is to say, they learn that if they say certain words, and do certain things, they can get certain results and control people. Harry and his friends manipulate spiritual forces to achieve these ends.

This is what casting spells and working magick is all about. Modern day occultism is very eclectic, and many witches and occultists regularly make up their own spells. So even though most of the formulas and wording for the spells in Harry Potter are not written in actual occult books, the principle is the same. Certain results are achieved by saying certain words and manipulating spiritual forces.
