Why didn't they just shoot him?

Why didn't they just shoot him?

Because magic fucks with technology, did you read the books?

Why didn't your parents get an abortion?

Because this is set in britian so there are no guns

You shouldn't expect to find any common logic in one the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. 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.

>"No!"
This still gets me, why quotation marks?

this

>no Muslim wizards to get the guns
smdh @ this racist film series tbqhwyf

Couldn't they just conjure up some guns with their wizard powers?
Why not snipe him from a distance then

>”magic” fundamentally alters chemical reactions as simple as igniting gun powder
>has zero effect on thousands of much more subtle biochemical reactions in the body

A+ writing from JK Rowling

>reading poorly written books for kids

>Why not snipe him from a distance then
A person with magical abilities would not be able to use a gun at all. Magic fucks with technology.

why didn't they go down to tesco and pick up a butterknife then?

guns are completely mechanical

one would work in hogwarts, not to mention any of the countless chances they had to shoot him prior to the entire series occurring

What if you have Horcruxes but i set you on fire?
I mean, you survive death but you're still on fire so you would be dead again like ten seconds later.
Also, non need for guns, he has to see his target and cast his bullshit to hurt, Hagrid running over him with his motorbike would've been enough. Hell even just Hagrid with the cloaking mantle getting behind him and bear hugging him.

Because they're all British and guns offend them.

Then get a regular person to do it. Just lure him to the regular world

Then hire a muggle assassin.

Radios worked in Hogwarts, this is complete bullshit.

this

That wouldn't work. They have spells that hide there presence from muggles.

They have to KNOW or suspect there is a muggle assassin somewhere to use those though.

What is Arthur Schopenhauer doing stealing quotes from Quentin?

They can react the instant a gunshot is heard from a distance. It wouldn't work.

>call assassin
>tell him to shoot this location
>he shoots
>kills him
Easy

How would you call an assassin when phones don't work for wizards?

Are you kidding me?
First, supersonic bullets hit before you hear the sound
Second, to cast the spell they have to raise their stupid fucking wand and at least THINK of the shitty spell they want to use, they're quite slow in the movies and surely not faster than a bullet.

You send a pigeon with money and location.

Have wizard tell another muggle to call the assassin. Or just make a signal

This is literally explained in the books. A gun would not work against them.

But it's not. J.K.Rowling herself explained that she didn't even think about guns because they're not common at all in the UK.

Hack writing

Not an argument
I mean the instant reaction thing. The death eaters absolutely could react faster than a bullet. You'd have to get close to them for this to work and you can't because magic fucks with technology.

Kylo only had a lightsaber to use against him

>I mean the instant reaction thing. The death eaters absolutely could react faster than a bullet. You'd have to get close to them for this to work and you can't because magic fucks with technology.

Literally not an argument.

Imagine him saying it like Dr. Evil.

why didnt those morans just drop a rod from god on him?

>Demolition_Man.webm

What? Fire?

>What? Fire?
No, the gun and bullet.
