Have you read Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past? It mentioned the eastern wizards doing hand gestures thing, and I don't recall the canon books ever talking about that. So if you've read NoFP, you probably got the idea from there.

I did in fact read it after it was linked in the reviews for MoR (either here or on ff.net), so I guess that's where it came from! Well-spotted.
