Can you do multiple values on a switch statement?

In the following code im trying to make it to where the user can enter either 1 or 2 to get the same result. I was wondering why this isnt working considering you can use a if(x == 1 || 2) statement. Is there a different way to do this? Or can you only use 1 value for case. (case 1, case 2, case 3, ect)

 #include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

int x;

cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> x;

switch (x)
{
case  1 || 2:
    cout << "You're not a wizard larry";
    break;
default:
    cout << "You're a wizard harry";
}
}

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

	int x;

	cout << "Enter a number: ";
	cin >> x;

	switch (x)
	{
		case 1:
		case 2:
			cout << "You're not a wizard larry";
			break;
		default:
			cout << "You're a wizard harry";
	}
}

Thank you for helping. But what if I wanted to do lets say number 1 - 300. Would I have to write

case 1:
case 2:
skip a few
case 300:
cout << "Words";
break;

If you have to do that, you are better off with if() statements. switch is not designed to be used that way, and there is no easy way to check a wide range like that.

Mmmk, was just checking if those were valid in switch. Thank you.
