Harry Potter is smarter than Bush. When asked not to go after his supposed enemy, Sirius Black, Potter wisely responds, "Why would I try to find someone who's trying to kill me?" The problem with a pre-emptive strike, among other things, is that it makes the enemy more angry. It also might end up being the case that the person you thought was your enemy wasn't the one you were after, after all. Potter learns, in this movie, that his black-and-white world has areas of gray, and that sometimes friends look like enemies, and sometimes enemies are small enough to be invisible. He can't just aim his wand wherever he wants without hurting people. Bush is nowhere near Harry's level of maturity--he'd flunk out of Hogwarts faster than a drunken troll.
