Even if we accept for the moment that technology stops working around wizards (which is a completely retarded excuse and doesn't even hold up in the canon) why didn't Harry just hire a sniper to shoot Voldemort from far away?

Horcruxes and mind reading

Because Voldemort's Horcruxes would let him come back.

Where would a schoolboy in 90's England find a sniper expert who he convinces to be able to take out a dark lord wizard

Fucking think

>dials 0800-SNIPER
hello, one sniper please. yes, i want to shoot a wizard. trying to haha

I dunno why the British govt didn't just send an elite military unit to hogwarts to detonate a tactical nuke and wipe them all out

Muggle supremacy is the name of the game.

If technology stops working around wizards then why didn't it happen to Harry when he lived in the muggle world?

What a stupid fucking series.

Because no doubt there is a department at the ministry of magic in charge of keeping tabs on the muggle world, and with mindwipe magic and beyond they would have more than a heads up

That said the technology stops working around wizards is total bullshit, I'm glad the new movies are prequels because if they were going to involve the modern day muggle world I would have to suspend my disbelief way too fucking much

They're magic you fucking retard. They can magic teleport a sniper into the country.

They might have trouble finding a guy but when this much is at stake you better find someone

Autist

Bullets are slower than spells

Also squibs working and living in the magical world are a thing, see the janitor at Hogwarts.

If we are to believe shit like guns won't fire with wizards using them, harry could have magicd in an M16 for the Mr janitor to use and he would have torn up the deatheaters

That's clearly bullshit since they dodge spells all the time.

That's anothet thing that's retarded about this gayass franchise. "Magic" is just a little sphere of light that shoots out of a wand like a bullet and all you have to do is just fucking dodge it.

Why didn't Voldemort just appear behind Harry and called "Accio butcher knife!"

Why didnt nobody tried helping Harry in the Voldemort fight? why did they allow Harry to 1v1 him knowing that if Harry lost they would have been all fucked? imagine 20+ fucking kids casting Avada Kedabra on Voldy at once

...

>Voldermort killed Harry
>Harry won

pottery

This bullshit about technology not working around wizards doesn't even make sense.

Where do you draw the line of what constitutes "technology"? It's literally just physics. A computer is just physics. A gun is just physics. Why don't all laws of physics stop working around wizards then? Why do they have gravity?

Why did technology work for Harry all those years he lived in the muggle world?

No they aren't

It didn't he never had access to it

He rode in the car with the Durseleys.

He had a light bulb in the cupboard.

He is shown using the stove to make breakfast.

Is it really true that Voldermort fucked Bellatrix and she had a Voldermort-baby with Omega level magic energy

Oh yeah, well it's stated that technology goes funny when around high concentrations of magic, which is why it doesn't work at Hogwarts - too much magic in the air.

It's only ever said it goes funny, not stops working and it's around high levels of magic, not Wizard people.

>Inb4 Voldemort is Harry's father in some 2050 Harry Potter reboot

where is the copypasta

Technology not working is established in canon for a reason. It is because even the most powerful and bright of artificial lighting is incapable of illuminating one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Until voldemort was revived he was in hiding. Even the ministry couldn't find him. After he came back, he was well protectdd and possibly still unfindable. A muggle swat team would be absolutely desimated as they literally don't even have the skills of a wizard child. Muggles could be defeated with literally any spell. Remember that fire thing Dumbledore did in half blood? That'd be like fucking Vietnam to muggles

Like clockwork

thank you

Why didnt Voldemort have an automatic forcefield spell around him at all times?

He was retarded and put one on his snake instead.

Those energy bolts move around 13 feet in a single second, thats too fast for your simian reflexes to react to, its like saying you can dodge a low speed car that is only a couple feet away from you. Them dodging or reacting to any of those spells is bullshit.

Why do wizards even use lightbuilds cant they make some magic glowy orbs that defy gravity at all times instead. I mean magic is the equivalent of technology that requires ZERO CIRCUITRY or basically incomprehensible to all known science at this point in time. The fact they dont need wires would make the tech they could make with magic truely absurd. Like imagine a rock that can control the weather, there is no need for ciruitry or wires in magic thus a rock that can control the weather makes sense.

Perhaps 4000 years from now a rock that can control the weather would be invented by us.

why did the wizard do during WWII?

Take a wild guess

>expecto patronum this you robe wearing cocksuckers!

>tfw when jew wizards see regular jews like how regular jews see nonjews.

They dodge in response to where the opposing human is directing their attack, like real life. Wandless magic exists too, where does that shit come out of?

pride

Their arse, like most of JK's "writing."

>13 feet in a single second
>be 30 feet away
>have >2 seconds to dodge

What kind of shitty reaction time do you have, user?

If muggles weren't able to seriously FUCK up a wizard's shit, assuming they had the element of surprise or outnumbered the wizard, then the wizards wouldn't care about hiding from the muggles and keeping magic a secret.

Technology doesn't just stop working around wizards. Muggle tech doesn't work around Hogwarts, due to the inherent nature of what Hogwarts is. There are so many spells and enchantments on it (probably many that are specifically designed to fuck with muggle tech, given that the wizarding worlds' knowledge of muggles is superior to the muggles' knowledge of wizards, so such a thing would be possible) that it's most likely to completely fuck up any kind of advanced muggle tech if it gets too close to the school. It's probably SOP for wizarding homes to place all sorts of enchantments that make it more difficult for muggles to operate nearby.

With that said, it's a case-by-case basis. A shooter could conceivably kill a wizard. Wizards are just human anyways.

The moment they turned magic into coloured lightning I knew it was over and that the movies would truly never come to close to what my 8 year old mind could imagine.

Literally made fucking MAGIC boring.

Prove it in a clinical setting

I'll wait

>Why don't all laws of physics stop working around wizards then? Why do they have gravity?

Well not to defend this shitty series but it's kind of the whole point that the laws of physics fall apart around magic and wizards, but it requires control and mastery.

They are flying all over the place from the very first book/movie of course they can defy gravity man, come on.

Whole franchise is still dogshit though.

Wizard flight can be explained as using magic to make gravity not notice them while they are on the broom thats why they start falling to their death if they fall off the broom.

With all of that shitty CGI lightning as "magic", muggle tech probably gets fucked from the EMP generated.

Voldemort being able to fly without a broom was so matrix haxx0r-tier bullshit in the final book.

Clearly your muggle ind just isn't equipped to process this kind of understanding

Of course. The whole point of magic is that it breaks the laws of reality, but it's not like random individual laws stop applying to you at odd times, it requires focus and mental control to achieve, though sometimes the subconscious can punch through and make things happen anyway.

I literally don't see what the poster was getting at, because of course the laws of physics don't apply to wizards, they are doing crazy shit all the time that defies physics.

...

>just hire a sniper
where the fuck do you "hire a sniper" in Britain

This

Remember that Order of the Phoenix happened in 1995

The year the Spice Girls were made famous

Tweet Andy McNabb, he knows loads of them

The wizards not flying backwards everytime they pew pew from their wands can be explained as magical energy not having a kinetic energy exhaust like ordinary things, kinetic energy is the thing that makes things move thus if the exhaust isnt kinetic energy you budge an inch no matter how energetic the blast is. It is very obvious the energy used in magic is from another universe entirely because nothing like that exists in our world thus operates on an alien form of energy physics and may move using something else.

Ground to air missile would stop it though.

Why does the wizarding world seem so far behind the times?

They don't really have modern music except for some shitty buttrock band in Goblet of Fire.

They don't wear modern clothes.

Everything seems so old fashioned. They all have old stone buildings and shit

Look at any Harry Potter movie. Can you see the spells being thrown?

If you can, then they're slower than bullets.

>magic into America or some other non cucked country
>find a sniper
>magic him back to Britain with you

Wow that was hard

Magic makes smuggling incredibly easy. Wizards could get filthy rich smuggling drugs around in the muggle world.

No, they aren't.

Fun thing to point out -- if spells depended on how fast you said the words then rappers would be the magical special forces equivalent of SAS and Navy SEALs.

This is what ruined the series for me once I realized it.

You don't think Dumbledore or Remus Lupin or Sirius fucking Black wouldn't know about a few gritty muggle mercs?

Once Harry hit 4th year, he learned how to cast spells without speaking though

voldemorts design was terrible and feinnes obviously didn't give a shit

>guns don't work on wizards!

>imperial wizard
Shit son, the Queen's court must be reeling from the loss

Probably about as easy as hiring a sniper in America. We're talking about military professionals here, the availability of handguns for your average civvy Walmart warrior is irrelevant.

lol imagine tech n9ne wizard dueling busta rhymes

stop posting summarized pasta

Voldemort vs Duke

lmao why doesnt this happen more often?

So no porn in Hogwarts?

I thought only Hogwarts was warded to fuck with technology, not individual wizards

no one knows where he is and presumably he has some charms on stand-by to protect himself from many means of harm

didnt voldemort kill himself due to some bullshit with the elder wand?
does that make Voldemort the winner?

"""""find""""" a sniper. How.

You can't cast magic through a shield, regardless of which side of the shield you're on. Voldmort's high power attacks were more important to the battle than his body was (considering he had 2 horcrux left) why he didn't flee after nagini died is just hubris.

Meant to quote

Only the moving picture magazines. Basically they're stuck with gifs on paper

Why is there no wizard military wing? The PM knows about them and had a wizard bodyguard.

Also, why were there no other werewolves? Lupin said he was living with them and then it was never mentioned again?

Because a bullet wouldn't do shit to him.

The only time Voldemort was hurt was when the Avada Kedavra spells backfired on him. Why? Because that spell kills your soul, not your body. In fact it leaves your body entirely free from any clue to what killed you. With his soul split up this meant that only the piece currently in his body could be fucked up by the spell, leaving him still clinging on to the mortal world.

All that would happen if he got shot would be that his body would get mangled but his soul would still be hanging around. He'd just chug some potion or say a spell and take care of the wound. A regular fucking book needed super-special magic venom to get destroyed when it had his soul in it, so why would you think a bullet would be able to destroy a body that has a piece of his soul in it?

That's why the whole horcrux thing was OP and why he went for it to begin with.

Frank Ancona sounds like the white trash version of the Ayn Rand character.

Nope. And no sneaking into the girls' dorms either.

Which begs an important question: If some little pussy decided that they were trans, would they be able to get into the girls' dormitories?
