@name55555: E
xcuse me but I can debunk your claims with your own claims.
You have shown wands deflecting spells even at ranges of about 10 feet. This is with normal human reflexes, albeit practiced reflexes.
What is a wand? It is wood and a magical core. A piece of a magical being such as a Tail Feather, Hair, or Heartstring. Now what is Percy wielding? A sword composed of Magical metal. 1-*If all that makes a wand magical is the tiny piece of magic inside of it then the sword composed of the magical metal is equally as magical. Thus Percy's sword and a Wand are not far off from one another in magical nature. Percy's sword can deflect magic the same as a wand can deflect magic.
I know you will state that they are all using shield charms, but this is unlikely as most adult wizards didn't know shield charms in the books let alone all the students (Remember not everyone was in DA)
This is Lucius Malfoy using a shield charm to block a Stunning Charm.
In all of your video clips this is not used as this has a specific effect and appearance.
So that means when they are knocking away or parrying off spells they are doing so using their wand's magical nature to act as a medium to deflect the spells the same way Percy used his sword to deflect the bullets.
Now again I go back to the sword and wand relationship. They are both normal items a Stick and a Sword but due to the magical elements in each they become magical objects the core in the Wand and the metal of the Sword. So this is not a far stretch to say the sword and by extension the armor could deflect some types of magic (The armor would be more difficult the sword can be used the same as a wand)*
2-*Also with the Full Body Bind Curse your so fond of. I must point out that one he does not produce light as it does in the movie, that was for a visual effect. But I must note that in most examples of this, I repeat most not all, are surprise attacks. Hermione using it on Neville was done quickly and with Neville unarmed and unready for a conflict with magic, Malfoy on Harry on the train in year 6, Harry was surprised. The Death Eater in the cafe by Hermione, the death eater was dueling with Harry and Ron at the same time, thus her spell which has no light was not noted when compared to the stunner and disarming charms which both do. While there are others of course who where fully ready for a fight this curse seems best suited for a surprise attack. However, it could be defeated in much the same manner as in the clip shown above in the cafe where the defender dodges out of the way of the wand before the spell is cast. If this is done then the spell misses its target and the defender can counter attack. I do think this is doubtful for Percy to deflect, but it might be possible for it to be blocked, stopped from effecting Percy just not rebounded or tossed to the side.*
Harry Potter is shown to possesses very high speed in his dueling, as least in the movies we see the duels at high speed and yet all of us can see the spells cast, the bodies move, and even understand each action perfectly. Nothing is beyond the realm of the sight of a normal person.
Percy Jackson on the other hand can judge the path of a bullet and block not 1 but 2. He was shot in the back, however this is due to him not having eyes in the back of his head. Harry cannot deflect spells aimmed at him from behind either, a blind spot is a blind spot for a reason. So to throw away the claims of blocking bullets just because he was attacked from behind is fool-hearty as we could do the same for Harry. After all he didn't block Malfoy's Full Body Bind or Dumbledore's. But we know he is capable of deflecting spells just find.
As such the question boils down to; Can Harry defeat Percy in the first 5 seconds of the fight? Can he land 1 hit that matters?
3-*Percy is known to dodge Arrows and Bullets both which travel as fast and faster then spells, and follow lines of trajectory as the spells do. No spell has been seen twisting around walls or such. Percy can move and react at speeds beyond the human norm. So can Harry hit Percy? This is tough as Harry must land a blow on a target who is not running at him in a straight line or standing static 30 feet away but a fast moving object that is free thinking and capable of counter attacking or parrying spells back to him? Think of this in a Harry Potter frame of mind. Could harry stun the snitch or freeze the snitch in 5 seconds? The snitch and Percy could be argued to have similar speed and reaction times due to the Demi-God nature of Percy.*
4-*My guess is this; With the new suggestion of a sword being able to act as a wand and deflect or parry spells, Percy's previous showing of reaction to bullets (much faster then a normal human can react), and the fact that in previous fights Harry has not been seen to fight foes this fast and do well. (He was unable to stop the pixies for example and often needs to chase the snitch over a distance on a broom that goes much faster then he can run)*
I have to give both rounds to Percy Jackson, Harry is not out of the running but this would be a more 7/10 to Percy if anything in both Rounds.
As far as the luck potion, it might make things easier on Harry such as possibly Percy might stumble but this is only Luck it does not guarantee that he would win. After all saying anything they try succeeds is just a tag line for the potion. This was never shown to be beyond abstract things.
