Can cast an insta-death non blockable spell

>can cast an insta-death non blockable spell
>still loses
What the FUCK? This is some retarded shit. And if you take into consideration that the good guys never use this spell, it becomes 1000x times worse.

Why didn't they just shoot Voldemort?

DULL

>non blockable spell
Is it?

>>can cast an insta-death non blockable spell
The aurors didnt seem to have much trouble blocking it?

Rons mother casted it and then smiles afterwards which felt really out of place, I agree with you but it goes both ways

What's really retarded is how much more powerful all the wizards are in Fantastic Beasts compared to the Harry Potter movies. Voldemort would be a joke to any of them in that movie

This. Why did literally no one have a gun? I know it's England but I'm sure exceptions can be made for wizard hitler

"No!"

That's because they're Americans.

>non blockable
Explain this then

If only he could Avada himself out of one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises though.

Seriously 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
"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.

its because the wands are twins you fucktard

but the insta cast death spell dosent work on harry, we already know that dumb dumb, why would he waste time doing something that he knows dosent work?

harry potter is gay and stupid. is that a decent explanation?

It's been stipulated that wizards don't know literally nothing about mechanical stuff or technology.

It's for children not adult children

Its an exception, a really weird one, even by them

When Sirius Black was on the run there was a news report that he had a "gun" which was "a metal and muggles use to kill each other"

Could be pretty fucking useful when fighting people called "Death Eaters" don't ya think wizards?

Wtf, in the 3rd book? Why didnt he ever crack it out on some of those wormfood niggas?

He didn't have one, news reports mistook his wand for one somehow.

I think while she did kill Bellatrix with the spell she used, it wasn't supposed to be the killing curse specifically, but some sort of other spell that was also capable of killing people. I think in particular it was because she shot it directly at her heart.

soyboy media lad
don't question it

That's so fucking retareded. SHould they not wear clothes as well because muggles invented them? Or use door and windows and whoever knows what the fuck else? JK Rowling is a fucking hack

wasn't it a deliberate change in the story for muggle news reports about a dangerous killer on the loose? I recall that everyone thought he was so dangerous they thought they had to warn the muggles too, and it's not like you can just say "this guy is dangerous he has a magic stick that can kill you" so of course some changes had to be made.

When Dumbledore fought Voldemort he was able to cast a shield that turned a bunch of glass shards Voldemort threw towards Dumbledore into dust. Why wouldn't they be able to do the same thing with a bullet?

They borrow the things they find use for. When you can do most things by magic, including kill people, you don't really look for other ways to do those things. If you know how to teleport would you bother with inventing a plane?

it's a dumbass spell, you need to be evil to even use it. and they have spells like sectumsempra that can kill pretty easy that you don't even have to be mad to use.

>If you have a sword, why would you invent a gun?

Idk, perhaps. But spells (or glass shards) seem to move fairly slow compared to bullets so they might not have enough reaction time. Also:

>cast an insta-death non blockable spell on teenager Harry AGAIN
>Voldemort dies

How can Voldemort be such an autistic fagget?

I'm pretty sure Fudge had a bit of dialogue about how they reported it to the muggle administration

That's why humanity stopped at pointy sticks.
If you can stick a guy, why invent a better weapon?

>sectumsempra
>look this up
>creates an invisible sword that can cut you to fucking ribbons
>somehow this isn't one of their forbidden spells

A gun makes it easier to kill someone more easily and efficiently. With magic all you have to do is point a want at someone, say a couple of words, and really mean it.

Magic lets wizards and witches accomplish almost every task with pretty much zero effort. There's no reason for them to adopt muggle technology or try to understand it. That's why they think every piece of technology is a quaint toy.

Considering they introduce numerous other spells that can kill/maim instantly. Very.

snape made the spell Harry found it in his old textbook.

It was invented by Snape, Harry learned it from Snape's old book.

Snape invented it in high school and it doesn't seem to be in common use; Snape recognizes Harry trying to use it instantly and gets mad because it's his spell. If the Ministry knew about it, they probably would ban it.

Is a gun really better than a gun that requires a two word phrase (or if you're good enough no phrase at all), has infinite bullets, and is a for sure killshot no matter what part of the body you hit?

If I'm going into a duel against a wizard, where the only thing we are trying to do is kill each other, I would much rather have a gun. A bullet flies much, much faster than a person can speak.

>only 3 unforgivable curses, moody can look at loli pussy through xray vision

Depends on context.
We have handguns, rifles, shotguns, etc.
Full auto, semi, 12x scopes.
Silencers.
Plus full on military hardware.
Grenades, RPG, Guided rockets, etc.

If I can put a bullet through your head at 100m, can your spell hit that far, accurately?

Meant 1000m, but 100m still works.
100m is roughly the effective range of a 00 buckshot.

>Voldemort is the ultra amazing wizard that kills everybody
>he keeps using the same spell
>he doesn't create a new to have something different
JK Rowling is shit.

Can you abra cadabra someone from 2 miles away?

No, but a wizard also wouldn't need to.

The only time a gun would work against a wizard is if they don't know you're there, anything else would be useless because they can put up a shield that will render anything physical against them useless (as established in the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore). Whether it's an artillery shell or a .22 doesn't really matter. The wizard doesn't need to kill you if you can't kill him, plus he can teleport to you instantly.

You can block it using a live shield
Like nigga cast a swarm of flies to fly in circles around you

>The only time a gun would work against a wizard is if they don't know you're there

So without preptime, wizards are chumps.

I'd rather have something with sights, automatic fire and supersonic ammo than point a stick, say a curse and watch a green ray mosey up to its target.

the harry potter universe is retarted

Fanon is that the unforgivable spells are only castable with evil intent. I have no intention of actually reading the books so I don't know if they support this interpretation.

Against any random person, maybe. Against a wizard, the rifle would never work, and I thought that's what we were talking about. Why would wizards want to invent guns if there are spells which render physical objects thrown at them useless?

Molly froze her then fucking shattered her with an unknown spell. Molly was Pure blood as well, she is a Prewett, so she'll know stuff they don't teach at school. She made that magic clock they have, if I remember correctly.

>no!

Doing God’s work

You have no citation for any of that.
How would they block something they don't understand, hits them before they can blink, has 10-60 rounds depending on what they are using.
Potential effective range farther than bare human sight.
It's a childrens book that never tackles these issues. Nothing presented in any of the books who prove an effective counter measure.

Draco casts a spell
Harry waves him wand and it blocks

Draco shoots
Harry is dead before his arms move

literally potions 101

The casting of a spell requiring words is less efficient than firing a gun. That's just an outright fact. There's a reason we don't make firearms programmed to shoot a round every time we yell "Bang".

For every other aspect of life (transportation, construction, research, etc) I'm sure magic solves 99% of the problems that normal people encounter. But if we're solely talking about violent encounters, a gun is the better choice.

>but if the wizard knows you're coming, has time to prepare, and knows the relevant spells to render your weaponry useless, they will surely win
Yes, this is true. Wands beat guns only when you give the wizard every advantage possible.

Daft bastard, bullet protection is a literal first year-tier enchantment, you'd have it on your skidmarked underwear for fucks sake. That's like asking why they didn't flick peas at him with a spoon

You don't know that they don't simply collect the ingredients from magical animals using non-lethal methods. Sheep don't die from being sheared, after all.

>Wizards!
>all they do is point with their wand and get a SFX sound of "puff!" with some sparkles and that's it
These movies were terrible.

The only time anyone behaved like a wizard was in Voldemort vs Dumbledore.

>JK Rowling is a fucking hack
She is a woman, what did you expect?

>The only time anyone behaved like a wizard was in Voldemort vs Dumbledore.
>didn't stop time and cast four save or die spells then teleport away

Voldemort did teleport away, so did Bellatrix.

How are you supposed to hit something with a wand? It's like a ten inch sight radius without even a bead, literally worse than a flintlock pistol. Does the speel have any penetration? Can I hide behind a sheet of plywood? Do they work against plate carriers? Do you have to track the target while saying that long ass spell?

>79 posts deep
>still no pasta

I'm impressed

I've seen the final movie at least five times and I still don't understand why Harry didn't die.

what are you talking about? It was posted in the first 7 posts

nevermind i missed it somehow

For one, wordless magic is very common in Harry Potter, adult wizards do it all the fucking time and by the later movies, that's just about all they do.

youtu.be/URbvT_pkAjI?t=161

Here, Dumbledore doesn't say a word, and he manages to turn every shard thrown towards him to dust.

>but if the wizard knows you're coming
You surprising the wizard isn't an even playing field, it's an advantage YOU get. A wizard knowing the guy is there would be an even playing field, not the wizard having an advantage.
>has time to prepare
They don't even need time to prepare, all they need is a wand and in some cases, they don't even need that.
>knows the relevant spells to render your weaponry useless
I'll give you that one, but I'd make that argument that by the time they're adults, wizards probably know a good number of spells, at least one of which would do the job.

I have watched some of the movies more than once, but I still don't get what was her problem.

Was it autism?

She had a case of the "Too Fucking Adorable For This World".

Where did you get that idea? Most of what we see in Harry Potter are kids, the few adults we see use magic never seem to struggle with anything. So how are they more powerful in Fantastic Beasts?

>no saving throws in HP

Why can't women into strategic battle systems?

what was Voldemort's motivation anyway?
What does he care about the state of Hogwarts?

Nothing made sense, Rowling is retarded

>the dullest system in the history of pen & paper rpgs

Nigga this is not D&D, Harry Potter wizards are weak pussies.

>that video

Mate that just tells me that wizards are the fucking worst in a fight.
>they need to make physical motions with their wands and hands, like waving it around their head, in order to direct the magic
>all a guy with a gun has to do is twitch his finger and bam, more corpses
>voldemort summons a giant fire serpent thing
>it spends 3-4 seconds of its life just staring at dumbledore instead of fucking attacking
>in that time, you could have easily fired off dozens of rounds
It seems wizards are only good at killing other wizards.

>You surprising the wizard isn't an even playing field, it's an advantage YOU get
>A wizard knowing the guy is there would be an even playing field
No, that's complete bullshit. It's not the Middle Ages. Commanders don't get in touch with each other beforehand to decide the time and place of a battle. Combatants not knowing the location of enemy forces is normal warfare. If you're spotted first and your enemy sets up an ambush, then you're fucked. But knowing that you're about to be attacked, allowing you to prepare the ground in your favor, or even avoid battle entirely, is a distinct advantage.

>I'd make that argument that by the time they're adults, wizards probably know a good number of spells, at least one of which would do the job.
So a wizard needs to reach adulthood before they can efficiently deal with armed attackers, whereas a child with a gun can be just as dangerous as any soldier. Pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure they kill creatures to make wands.

you can go to summer camp, same shit

its not like we ever saw the kids actually learn magic in the 7 movies that came out after the original one

He's Hitler.
