They can. However, spells must be AIMED (they can miss the target) in the Harry Potter universe, and the Jedi would SEE them come before the caster even started the incantation. Thus, the spells would all be dodged and would be useless. Also, the Jedi are more combat-trained, sent into the world to become fighters, protectors of peace. Hogwarts students are trained to become competent adults - they are not nearly as bellicose in their primary function. One is a school, the other is, in comparison, a military training barracks. Therefore, the Jedi would not only intimidate all but the teachers and the oldest students, but they would cause widespread confusion and panic throughout the Hogwarts ranks.

Mantis, please ease up on the thread-posters. Although you have made some of the more popular threads, you must remember that it is not always so easy. Please remember my earlier threads, which were not of what one would call "top quality" and don't forget the thread "Why did Revan cross the road?"
Sometimes we must be more patient and understanding of others. You perhaps know more of SW than I and some of the others here. Please excuse some deviation from focus on the part of your fellow posters - no offense meant, sir.
