Harry potter wizards and 'muggle' weapons, other inconsistancies

#1 Posted by PrinceAragorn1 (4565 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago - Show Bio

As the characters from harry potter are gaining popularity on the battle forums, and interesting question arises. Why not just use bullets to shoot the death eaters dead? Famously, No magic can revive the dead, so it would've helped both the good and bad sides immensely.

Let's discuss such inconsistencies here, so that we can have a ready reference for the threads, and it will keep the threads clear of these discussions. (Hopefully).

So here we go.

Inconsistency 1: Why not use the easy way?

Direct to the problem, why no one tried to kill Lord voldemort by a sniper/machine gun? what will happen if it hits? or his head is chopped off by a sword? Does an average joe stand a chance against Voldemort if given a good quality gun?

Feel free to call on the harry potter experts/fans to discuss the urgent matters here :D

Yes, but shooting voldemort, wouldn't it reduce him to his baby form, like magically killing him does?

im sure he has spies for that sort of thing.and most wizards/witches dont know or care to learn how to use this stuff. MR.Weasley didnt even know what a rubber duck does.

XD true, gun is definitely harder to handle. But there are hundreds of mercenaries/soldiers available in our world for God's sake. Couldn't they just hire one like the time they did for the quidich finals? (Mr. Robert and family)

1- it would be effective yes, but not against Voldie because of the Horcruxes

2- maybe there are enchantments and spells that protect them against those sort of technologies

3- because it would be pretty stupid to end the books like that (obviously that's the outverse perspective, the writer JK, wouldnt want to do that, but inverse, obviously they would try their best to take down Voldie even if that meant using technology, but yeah, as I already said, maybe there's some kind of protection against that)

1. He wouldn't die, maybe, but he might become the lesser than the smallest ghost thing he did when he died once.. then keep sniping him every time he returns XD

2. Not sure, harry used to get beat up by duddly and his Gang all the time, I'm sure a gang of criminals with revolvers wouldn't have any trouble killing him.

3. Of course it'll be stupid way to end a book. But that doesn't mean it's not possible :o

@PrinceAragorn1: I guess in the HP universe is possible but Im sure JK rowling has a way to prvent that, some type of enchantement or barrier. and the guys beating on Harry didn't have guns and that was in the muggle word

Reason number one: wouldnt be a great fantasy book if people used guns when they have wands. Reason 2: protego or shield spell should block bullets and swords.

Implying HP characters can time bullets?

That's hardly an example. Harry is not a killer. If young Tom Riddle was in Harry's place, Dudley and the others will regret trying to mess up with him.

I always thought a great ending to the series would be Voldemort getting shot by one of the muggles he so despises. It would be a fitting end for someone who look at them as scum all his life.

That would be extremely funny to look at. But I wished a legendary duel to end the seris. Too bad they killed dumbledore off. Or there was no one to contend direct with voldemort :(

Wow, Voldemort being "shot" is funny @PrinceAragorn1 ? I bet it wouldn't be funny if your big boy Gandalf was shot. Not so funny now huh? A average muggle could murder Gandalf easily. But no, you LOOOOOVE Gandalf and couldn't care anything about Voldemort. This is the kinda crap that makes me angry. A average teenager with a gun COULDN'T KILL Voldemort, why so? All he needs to do is point his wand and he can make the Teenager bow to him, then he can use crucio. Plus a teenager would be thinking of beating him so much which gives Voldemort a chance to kill him.. Voldemort CAN be killed by guns, but so can Zatanna and she has frozen the Universe before and influcened Martian Manhunter's mind. She has also taken on Lobo in hell, turned bullets into paper, etc. And she was still shot by the Joker before she could utter a spell, and Superman taked her and fixed her up.

So if Za'tanna, someone who has influenced MARTIAN MANHUNTER'S MIND and has summoned Demons to aid her in battle, how in the world is there shame to dying to a bullet?

With 3 minutes prep Voldemort would be able to stomp anyone with a bullet. We all can agree that Batman would get decimated by Hulk without prep, with prep Batman would decimate Hulk. Voldemort would put up alot of defenses that would render the bullets useless, useless.

@UltimateHero0406 AND @NeonGameWave All made good points in my previous threads. There is a massive underestimation of Tom Riddle and it must end.
