Maybe but thats how fast Captain America can throw his shield. Do you think he would be able to get the spell off before Captain America has thrown his shield? Captain America can see bullets in slow-mo, his perception and reaction time are through the roof, he is operating on a level that Harry couldn't even dream off. Captain America will have ample time to judge his trajectory, think about what he wants to eat for dinner, wonder if he remember to look his front door and throw his shield before Harry's mind as even registered that bell signalling the fight has rung. If Captain America was Johny Averageman then sure Harry would be able to get a spell off before he was clocked up side the head by a shield but he isn't, he is Captain America.
😱
How could Harry not have time to react is the better question. Do you realize that Captain America has to actually THROW the shield first or did you think the shield would be traveling Mach speed at Harry by itself right when the fight began?
