Would you rather be a Jedi or a Wizard?

@The Stegman: Still have to train a lot more in comparison to what a Jedi would be able to do at that point.

Right, because just becoming a Jedi doesn't require a ridiculous amount of training....

@The Stegman said:

@Deranged Midget: depends on the Jedi...and on the wizard. Honestly I didn't make the thread as a "who would win" scenario, but rather who would you rather be and based on powersets, wizards can do a lot more.

Again that's all opinion based especially if you take into account the Star Wars EU, which a Jedi's skills are far more expanded upon than in the films.

Of course it does, but that training pays off more. Also to note, when has any wizard in battle really turned someone into a newt? I don't remember that ever really being demonstrated at all.

Wizard. The Jedi behave too much like filthy mudbloods.

@Deranged Midget: Barty Crouch Jr., disguised as Alastor Moody turned Draco Malfoy into a Ferret. Same premise.

Wasn't in battle. I'm not saying it isn't possible for a Wizard to change someone, but I highly doubt a Jedi would stand still for the Wizard to do so.

@Deranged Midget: How would it be any different in battle except for the person would be trying to dodge? There would be exactly no difference other than that.

When Barty Crouch hit Malfoy, he wasn't going to defend against one his own teachers. (Teacher to his knowledge)

In battle, one would expect anything.

Jedi

@Deranged Midget: In a Battle a Jedi has no means of stopping a spell except dodging it, given that it's not an area of effect spell.

True, but a Jedi does have precog which plays to their advantage.

@Deranged Midget: We'll have to agree to disagree.

The Topic is about preference anyways. I'd love to get a chance to be either, but I see being a Wizard as more practical in my everyday life.

I would rather be a jedi from episode IV and beyond

i was gonna say wizard, but then harry potter wizards are kinda lame imo...compared to wizards we see in comics and what not i dont think any wizards in the harry pottery universe have any interesting feats...so jedi...they have telekinesis and melee skills...lol

Jedi, because Wizards and Harry Potter suck. "Expelliar-" "Force Choke. You're dead."

Basically sums it up.

Force cho- ...oh wait I turned you into a newt.

Too bad I don't have to spew words out my mouth and swing my wand like an imbecile to actually do something worthwhile. And a Jedi wouldn't be standing still like a statue the entire time, so good luck :)

Jedi.

Also, AW SH!T!!! THIS JUST GOT TURNED INTO A BATTLE THREAD!!!

@Lunacyde: Duly noted.

Weather Wizard Jedi Master

Wizard, way more practical implications.  if my car breaks down, or if..pretty much anything breaks, I can literally fix it with one wave of a wand.

My big brother would rather be a Jizard as he's a complete Wan&^% any way (bad taste terrible pun i know, please feel free to forgive this ones terrible sense of humor)

Gonna bump my old thread!

Jedi

Jedi

*waves hand* You want to have sex with me.

Wizard

Jedi, no question.

Wizard, because i like magic.

Jedi.

Jedi.

Easily a jedi.

Wizard, since besides combat Jedi doesn't offer anything. Sure you can move things with your mind but you can't really use in day to day life.

Bloody rapist!!

it's not rape since she wants to have sex with me.

Jojo

There's a difference? Jedi are just space wizards. Still, I am siding with the Jedi because of the cool lightsaber.

That is a fine line to tread.

Anyway I thought you could pick being a random wizard but it's from the harry pot head universe so.........

Jedi

Y'all can start calling me Grand Master Eisenfauste.

Jedi......, but I really want to be a Sith.

Wizard, more practical and honestly seems like a way more fun learning process since school wouldn't have sucked

Elder Scrolls wizard.

A Jedi is basically a wizard with a heat sword.

The bible says magic users go to Hell. So that screws this thread for me

Wizard, and it's not even close. A Jedi has tk, some precog and a light up sword. But a Harry Potter wizard can do damn near anything.

-Transmute matter, including people

-Teleport

-Use magic for TK

-Read Minds

-Control minds

-Break or mend material

-Control the elements

-Can kill by saying two words

Plus, if you exist in the HP world, you get access to magical items like flying cars, potions that can give you luck, love, immortality,Let you become someone else entirely, etc. A way to travel anywhere instantly with Portkeys and Floo Powder, Objects that can move and help you on their own. Brooms that let you fly.

That's just a bit of what a wizard life is like.

I think people are picking Jedi cause they like Star Wars more, but a wizard is just...better. Search your feelings , you know it to be true.

Wizard

Jedi.

Neither, I would be Sith.

A Jedi I can make people do what I want with my Jedi mind power.

Depends on what level Jedi or Wizard i would become.

If became a Jedi on par with Obi-Wan Kenobi (I know there are more powerful Jedi, but Obi-Wan is my favourite) but only a Wizard on par with Ron Weasley then i'm obviously going to choose to become a Jedi.

But if i became a Wizard on par with Dumbledore but only a Jedi on par with.....Medd Tendar then i'm obviously going to choose to become a Wizard.

jedi . sooo much more cooler .

@stormphoenix:

Actually, the Imperius Curse works the same as Jedi Mind Trick, only it is more long lasting and can do more.

"An adequately Imperiused being is placed under the caster's total control and may be directed to do anything the caster wishes, including crimes such as murder, political corruption, embezzlement, and even suicide (as exposited by Barty Crouch, Jr., disguised as Alastor Moody and teaching the unforgivable curses to a group of Fourth year students at Hogwarts that included Harry Potter, where he explained "I could make her jump out a window, drown herself, or even launch herself down one of your throats"). Also, whilst under the caster's control, the curse may also endow the victim with whatever skills that are required in order to complete the task at hand, such as increased strength or allowing them to cast spells far above their level. For example, an Imperiused Neville Longbottom was able to perform a series of "quite astonishing gymnastics" under the curse that he would not normally be capable of.

It is possible for someone who has been Imperiused to place others under the curse as well. For example,Madam Rosmerta, who had been Imperiused by Draco Malfoy sometime during the 1996–1997 school year, was able to place Katie Bell under the Imperius Curse in an attempt to deliver a cursed necklace to Albus Dumbledore. It is also possible that the Death Eater Yaxley used the Imperiused Pius Thicknesse to place other high-ranking members of the Ministry of Magic under the curse in order to facilitate the overthrow of Rufus Scrimgeour"
