>>738687128so how the fuck is Abracadabra supposed to be derived from this? What muggle saw the wizard equivalent of a drive by and associated it with parlor tricks?

>>738692416Wizards separated from muggles during the 15th century, long enough for the word to lose its original meaning.Which also raises the question: did European wizards simply force all other wizards on the planet to hide from muggles?

>>738692797Please god, actually try to follow the script of the books this time? Philosopher's stone was good, but every movie after that left out immensely important plot point and the most fun sequences in the books, like the halloween party.
>>738692797>they cast redheads for the entire Weasley family>found a not too handsome kid to play Harry >found someone who can look the parts of Mcgonagall and Dumbledore>but they made black Snape All they had to do was find some mid 30's british actor whos somewhat unconventionally attractive and call it a day. Avoid all controversy. If it sucks cause of the writing at least they didnt fuck up the casting.
>>738693026I don't care that they made snape black. I am going to watch because troons hate it.
>>738692797cute and funny casting choice
>>738693065Nobody's ever going to beat Alan Rickman, it makes sense for them to try something entire different.

I can't believe jen from IT crowd is gonna be ron weasley's mom
>>738693489The Dark Tower explored this problem.Shooting at a legendary wizard is kind of like trying to shoot a fish in a pond, the water diffracts the light so your aim is deceptive. Except it's much worse because it's reality being distorted. You have to get up close with anti-magic nigger
>>738687128What's the best HP game? My favorite is 2 for PC but I've never played the console ones
>>738692797ginny
>>738693489Yeah, their primary shield spell requires you to actively cast it. Every single wizard not named Dumbledore or Voldemort would get their head blown open with basically zero effort.
what about the really shitty wizard that just fucks up everything without managing much at all?
>>738694060Anon, you have to point a gun at someone. And if they know what a gun is, they can put their shield up at the same time. That just makes it a quickdraw.

>>738687451Hey E noby, what are you wearing today?
>>738692903They already made Snape black without thinking about all the racist implications that brings about
>>738687168kek
>>738694824We both know they're retcon away Snape's bad qualities to make him sympathetic than have Harry completely admit to his dad being worse than Hitler.
>>738694680
>>738693350Drawing a gun is much faster than drawing a wand.
>>738693294It makes zero sense. He is supposed to blend in with the pale skinned racist wizard Nazis. He is not supposed to stick out in every scene as that one evil wizard who is obviously different than the others.There is going to be a million mentions of him teaching the dark arts and everyone in the audience is going to think about nothing but his skin color. They could have made any of the main characters black. Black Hermione, black Harry, black Hagrid, black Dumbledore. They could have made any of the teachers black. Anyone but Snape.
Are there spells that can make you superhuman? Like dodge bullets and shit?
>>738687128NEWSPAPER IGNIZZLE
>>738687313Pretty sure he just wanted to burn the world but he needed followers, so he used racism to convince people. Issue is, that the guy was dumb as hell>Didn't kill Harry with regular physical means when he could, four times>His whole plan during the Phoenix Order events was retarded as hell and only showed how weak he actually was>Remember the reason why Harry was able to beat him at the end? In the book that fight is even more retarded >He had a +10 in charm and charisma, he could easily climb up the Wizardry World ladder to get power and whatever he wanted and THEN do the horocruxes shit, but no, the guy sacrificed that for muh immortality and formed an army with a ton of incompetent but racist wizards and only two or three guys that actually knew their shit. Results? All horocruxes broken, an army that barely could do anything against kids and their moms, and a fight that made Harry laugh>The whole reason why Harry becomes a somewhat competent fighter is that he told Barty Crouch Jr to be Harry's teacher, and then teach him a ton about defense, duels, and so on.There's a ton of reasons why Voldemort is one of the most poorly written villians ever created but his supposed racism is just the tip of the iceberg
>>738695561There are probably potions that can do whatever the fuck you want, really.
>>738695324>They could have made any of the main characters black. Black Hermione, black Harry, black Hagrid, black Dumbledore. They could have made any of the teachers black. Anyone but SnapeThe fact that you're already making consolidations is just wrong. They could very easily scope the entire UK, Ireland maybe other parts of Europe to find parts for every major, minor student without angering or offending anyone. They did it before in the fucking 90's. They deliberately made Snape black to attract controversy and deflect from criticism of the show being bad. Which it likely will since they've admitted they're adding plot lines and delving into the origin of magic.
>>738695561Probably potions. Remember the 3 unforgivable spells? Well, there's a potion with basically the same effects (if not worse) that one of them and is not forbidden, hell, they even teach it in one of the lectures
>>738695867i didn't read the books, what could be dumber than forgetting that weapons in this universe have to belong to you before you can use them (which mind you is one of the first things 'arry is taught, iirc the very first magical thing he buys is his own fucking wand)?
Yeah. Try shooting your guns at me now. Faggots.
>>738696150Quidditch by itself Is dumber, and Rowling admited that she invented Quidditch to piss-off her partner or some shit
>>738687451The greatest work of human literature ever conceived
>>738696150Nobody saw Draco disarm Dumbledore only Harry did. To everyone else Snape pops up, kills Dumbledore who was the owner of the Elder Wand. Disarming or killing are guaranteed ways to affect wand loyalty. Voldemort correctly deduced that killing Snape would make him the wand's master but he was not privy to that small bit of information. The only way would be to kill or disarm Draco.
>>738696182>Enchanted butt plugFOILED AGAIN!
>>738695324>There is going to be a million mentions of him teaching the dark arts and everyone in the audience is going to think about nothing but his skin color.Does anyone still have that old "ZAP muthafucka" comic? IIRC it got a follow up after the newest 'arry porer game but i didn't save either...
>>738696341Pretty sure Bellatrix watched the whole thing
>>738692129Another bit that reveals that JK ROFL-ingwas already on her rad fem bullshit for a long time.
>>738694527>And if they know what a gun isDon't the books portray most wizards as comically oblivious to the muggle world?
>>738687313>Hitler was under heavy suspicion of being part Jew because he was allegedly a bastard child.Parallels, illiterate-kun. Parallels.
I wish harry potter would just die already. JK Rowling is an astonishingly retarded cunt. the IP has been raped by leftwing activists and jews. Bury this trash and forget it.
>>738697745No, tranny. You will never get your win. Cope and seethe.
>>738696552Bellatrix wasn't privy to the intricacies of wand psychology either.
>>738698407>implying im a troonkek jk said alex jones should get life in prison for exposing the sandy hook hoaki hope she ends up homeless again

>The trolley lady gasped in shock at Harry's announcement, but the gold in his hand made it apparent he was serious. She began to unload the candy into the room one package at a time, but Harry got to his feet and yanked the cart out of her hands with as much force as he could muster. "JUST DUMP IT YA GREAT GIT!" he bellowed calmly, turning the cart over spilling it's contents to the ground.>The trolley lady sighed and righted the now empty cart and trudged back to the supply room to restock it with candy for the other children, but suddenly there was Harry and Ron stretching their legs into the room! "WHEN I SAID THE LOT I MEANT THE LOT!" Harry pulled out his wand and levelled it at the trolley lady. "CRUCIO!">She collapsed screaming in pain while Ron loaded a garbage bag full of the rest of the candy. "Please young sir!" the lady screamed. "No more!">"We should get them knickers off too," Ron said through a mouthful of delicious chocolate frog. He had pulled a Dumbledore card, which was nodding along with his suggestion and making lewd kisses toward the trolley lady.>"Yer right," Harry said, sliding the storage room door closed. "We bought the lot, now we're going to take the lot you old bitch.">Dumbledore's laughter echoed from the toy card as the shadows of the pair covered the trolley lady.
PLEASE STOP FREESPELLING OR ELSE I'M CALLING ADMIN
>>738687128Remind me again why they couldn't just shoot this guy?
>>738701886Stupid nephew, only magic can defeat magic
>>738701886Horcruxes. Voldemort is basically immortal until you destroy all of them. Which doesn't stop you use some pretty powerful spells to stop him, just like Harry's mom did. Also, is not like the guy is that active, he was in magical coma for 14 years and was only able to do limited stuff for 3 whole years, one of which literally does nothing. His army is full of retards and Dumbledore proved at the ministery (at least in the books) that the guy wasn't that powerful. So all he had was racism and immortality, nothing else.And the whole reason why Harry and the others don't look for the horcruxes ASAP is because the only guy who was completely sure Voldemort did the horcruxes thing didn't talk until the sixth book
>>738687451>gothgoff*
>>738696318I don't know, "Wizard People, Dear Readers", as well as "Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like A Large Pile of Ash" are both pretty solid contenders.
>>738702850Dumbledore was essentially convinced by the end of book 2 when he got saw Riddle's diary and he did some investigating in the interim. I was under the impression Slughorn convinced himself that Tom didn't create Horcruxes, to the point where he rewrote his memories. The whole Horcrux shit was pretty lazy writing too. >Goyle (or Crabbe, I forget) casting Fiendfyre, one of the very few spells that would destroy a Horcrux, despite him being a retard.>Ron having perfect memory to speak Parseltongue to get basilisk's fang. Or even thinking of it as a way to destroy the cup.>Literally nobody knowing where the diadem was, even though apparently thousands of kids have entered the Room of Hidden Things. But Harry remembers it even though the place was warehouse full of shit.
>>738703316This is why I like Harry Potter discussion, you claim one thing to point out how HP is retarded, then another anon points that your claim is wrong and showing how HP is even more retarded than you originally thought, and just a chain of people making fun of the books/movies to have a nice time
"No!"
>Dumbledore hears a prophecy about the defeat of the noseless man>his first reaction isn't to use his much stronger magic and literally legendary wand to confine Tom until the savior does his thing>instead he immediately stays far away from the two possible families>deliberately does fuck all in politics so Death Eaters can basically go right back to running the ministry>ruins the education of an entire generation of magical children just so he can give his savior obstacle courses and retarded life lessons>gets sick of fucking living and just dies>leaves a final posthumous message for Harry telling him to die tooTom is a perfectly sane, reasonable, and good person compared to that faggot with twinkly eyes
>>738703692I do love the books and have read them all at least 5 or 6 times, but I also notice more and more glaring issues with each read. JKR is one of the few female writers who has written something I enjoy though, even if she's not the greatest author.
>>738703930Yeah, he's a cunt. He could clearly see far in the future based on what he gave the trio with his will (Ron especially, the deluminator doubling as a magical eavesdropping device was retarded), but he also made it super convoluted so it took them most of the final book to figure out what the deathly hallows were.
>>738703930Dumbledore being an asshole is a big part of the plot
>>738694680>ATLAS DEHDwat nou?
>>738687128why does the villain look so gay in this franchise?why is this franchise so fucking gay?the only thing good about this is emma watson fetish and yet she turned into some retard.
>>738705435He was going to look like a horrifying snake demon but (((management))) decided that was 2spooky4kids
>>738699482God damn it, the first paragraph made me laugh so my gf asked to see it. She read the full thing, all the way through the raping while I sat aside laughing about Harry pulling and dumping the cart. Ya git
>>738696182Shit like this is why I think all of harry potter is complete bullshit in it's own universe's lore.Time turners being the other thing. You literally have a "good luck" potion that will just make you win by drinking it. WHAT THE FUCK STOPS ANYONE FROM DRINKING IT AND WINNING ALL THE TIMEThen the fucking turners literally allow fucking time travel.This lore is completely fucked in it's own canon
>loved the ps1 games>nothing like them outside of some eternal early access parody co-op slop
>>738705618Everything makes sense when you realize that everyone in HP universe is retarded, which makes sense considering they are bongs, with many of them wanting to keep their pure blood
>>738687128It's so funny how easily a spec ops team could take out him and his followers, hell if Muggles wanted to they could probably just take over the whole wizarding world with little effort
>>738694527>ICBM repellius>Vlodemort said calmly
>>738687451I can still hear the laugh in my head when he read "Avril Lavignehahahaha".
>>738703316>Ron speaking parseltongueIs this the dumbest moment in the books? Even by HP standards I thought it was retarded
>>738687128Are those the words he use to magic away his shit after he shat himself as all wizards do?
>>738707169Not exactly a moment but the whole prophecy thing was dumb as hell
>2026>fags are arguing about the logical solidity of Harry Potter books as if it couldn't be enjoyed like the dumb fun it is I'm gonna stretch my legs to where you people live to slap you.
>>738705481i bet the higher ups thought evil snake guy is too cliche' so they went with space alien spliced into a fag.
>>738708018Read the thread. HP is probably one of the few works of fiction where you can point out every major flaw and still enjoy it. Not even capeshit has that power
>>738692797
>>738708093It is because despite the flaws and roughness it ooze genuine care and has endearing archetypes all over the books and cool critters and funny spells, and it's the most popular isekai type wankfiction ( or wand fiction ) setting. Everyone has a favorite Harry Potter character, everyone already fantasized once about receiving a letter inviting them to Hogwarts, even the naysayers.
>>738696552>master, should lestrange be trusted with such an important duty? she is unreliable and uncontrolable.>she is hot >understood
>>738706627As poor as the world-building is, that's actually an argument used in both the books and the Fantastic Beasts movies - that in an open war the Wizarding World would be wiped out.
>>738705618>WHAT THE FUCK STOPS ANYONE FROM DRINKING IT AND WINNING ALL THE TIMEIsn't it mentioned off-handedly that drinking it too often would start lessening the effect until it no longer works?
>>738696150Harry uses "ACCIO ELDER WAND" to summon the wand to his hand, effectively making him the new owner. Voldemort tries to disarm him with expelliarmus but because Harry is the best user of that spell and now also has the most powerful wand it just bounces back and literally disarms Voldemort. Then, as he's wriggling around on the ground with no arms, his Korean snake wife shows up and is like "Who's the snake now bitch?", before the retarded kid sneak attacks her with the sword Harry killed the Basilisk with (it's like pottery, it rhymes). Magetama was Voldemort's final horcrux so he then bleeds out from the gaping wounds where his arms used to be. Harry then gets Ginny pregnant and names their kid Albus Severus Potter as cruel joke about how he severed Voldemort's arms in the final battle and shortly beforehand killed Albus with unpottable water.
>>738687128I'm a magician, Spencer. A furious magician.
>>738705618the lore of harry potter falls apart if you so much as start to squint on 99% of things, but the liquid luck potion is extremely difficult to make and will fuck you up mentally and physically if you take too much
>>738708519No but if you drink too much it's highly toxic and can make you very reckless and take unnecessary risks apparently.
>>738708796>but the liquid luck potion is extremely difficult to make and will fuck you up mentally and physically if you take too muchWhich doesn't matter. It's still readily available to most people so how isn't the lottery being won by any wizards on a constant basis? Why are the Weasleys not doing this exact thing when the father has no issues with Muggles? Why doesn't Hermoine make her parents drink some of it and go buy a scratch off to make them rich? Why would any high level wizard not go into very specific dangerous situations having drunk it?
>>738708630do you think you can mock me, anon? do you think you can capture my essence and throw it back at me with humor and rhetorical devices?
>Tom RiddleDEH basically created several phylacteries so he can resurrect after death>because of that everyone basically gave up on even trying to kill him
deh
>>738709732The liquid luck potion isn't about getting everything you want, it's about "getting the best outcome from a given situation". So, it's very likely you wouldn't win the lottery as the scenario allows situations where winning a lottery would be detrimental to you in the long run, so not winning it IS the best outcome. You can't predict what it's going to do. Also, this means that if you have losing cards, you won't win the game even with liquid luck - what can happen is someone butting in, disrupting the game so it ends before you lose - UNLESS - you losing is the best outcome. You don't know that. You can only assume everything that happens with Felix felicis on, is the best outcome.
>>738687313Violent judgmental constantly angry arrogant people are full of shit and she was right about that
>>738709732>It's still readily available to most people it really isnt, it takes half a year to make and IIRC slughorn a potions master had taken it only twice in his life, an overdose can make you recklessly cocky and an altered "fake" version like snape had can actually give you bad luckmost of your points relate to wizard muggle interaction which rowling did not think through whatsoever.
>>738693489There are defensive charms and Harry Potter magic can do literally anything. They can just cast a charm every day that lasts 24 hours that provides ballistic protection and melts anything going a certain speed. There are super sensory charms Ron used to past his driving test. They could just enchant objects to act autonomously and they do that and the enchantments can last centuries. They could in theory enchant 10 glocks to fly in the air and head shot any muggle in a mile of themselves.Wizards in Harry Potter are only restrained by the fact most of them are nonviolent and want to work stupid desk jobs for the ministry and have next to no real passion beyond subsisting in what's left of their world.
>>738711485>Wizards in Harry Potter are only restrained by the fact most of them are nonviolent and want to work stupid desk jobs for the ministry and have next to no real passion beyond subsisting in what's left of their worldWell... yeah. They're Brits.
>>738711535They conquered the world once, look at them now. Sad innit
>>738705618Most wizards are unironically borderline brainlet tier from centuries of stagnation, inbreeding and isolationThey are living in an idiocracy
>>738711535I mean thank God they are that way because they'd be fucking terrifying if they ever took the kid gloves off. Voldemort's plans were really small scale because he was sort of in that mentality himself. When he takes power he does fuck with normies but not in any extravagant extreme way.He didnt apparate into the offices of world leaders and put charms on them to make them do crazy shit or pump magic potion drugs into the water supply to make them more compliant. We know love potions exist so other forms of that could probably be made. Wizards could completely topple civilization and send it back to the stone age if they really wanted to. You wouldn't even know it was happening or they existed if you were a normie yourself in that world but there's literally nothing the muggle world leaders could do. We see the minister of magic go into the prime ministers office at his whim and tell him not to ever involve himself or else. So they could do anything up to and including initiate nuclear Holocausts or brainwash scientists to unleash diseases or whatever.
>>738695867>Didn't kill Harry with regular physical meansAs in, like stabbing him or something? Those are muggle ways and they are beneath most wizards. Voldy took endless pride in being a wizard, he would never have even considered using muggle weapons or tactics.
what's stopping wizards from living as absolute alphas among muggles. it wouldn't even require any crimes or hurting anybody, just a cheeky non-verbal confundus here and there, some charms or transfigurations, you could do whatever and no one would know.
>>738708796>Take liquid luck>Create a better, less lethal luck potion>Take better luck potion>Make an even better luck potion>Repeat
>>738711913They think themselves above the lowly magicless peasants
>>738711913Pretty sure they can go to jail for using magic around normies. Iirc one of Voldemort's grandparents did it.
>>738694680Deh/10
>>738711917>morrowind alchemy loop
>>738711913the statute of secrecy means the ministry would check your wand loicense and let the dementors eat your soul for performing magic on muggles
>>738695867Well the wizard society is a bunch of somewhat functioning retards through and through anyway. That is pretty consistent.
>>738711913Too bad they live in a magic surveilance UK so there will be multiple jannies up your butthole the moment you cast a spell to even heat up your tomato bean concoction
>>738712010>HARRY! HARRY YOU N'WAH DID YOU PUT FORTIFY HEALTH INGREDIENTS IN THE POTION OF FIRE?" Dumbledore asked, with this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have, createdly.
>>738711913Practically? Not much if they keep it on thw down low and don't draw unwanted attention the wizarding world puts their secrecy at risk. Though must wouldn't want to.>>738712064Nah they do that on the reg. Like that camp owner at the quidditch world cup.
>>738711917>Take liquid luck as the potion professor>Accidentally trip into every underage student's vagina I encounter during the day and through a series of well-timed concussions causing amnesia, completely explicable accidents and being mistaken for as the gardener get away with it.
>Yer a FAGGOT, Harry. And a bloody awful shitposter, too.
>>738711996if you're not retarded no one would ever knowjust don't do anything that would somehow raise flags among the wizard cops
movie voldemort would beat movie darth vader in a fight
>Ten steaks and I could salt them perfectly.
>>738687128*dodges*YOU MISSED, CHUCKLENUTS!
>>738713324>just don't do anything that would somehow raise flags among the wizard copsLike use magic?
>>738713372the magic tricks jedis and sith can do are like elementary school shit for an adult fully trained HP wizard, so yeah
>>738713554you understand there are ways you can use magic that won't alert the magic authorities? like maybe just don't go around crucioing muggles or putting an entire town under confundus so they do weird shit that wizards will notice and investigate?think a little nigga
Everyone says that hp wizards are weak and compares their damaging spells to muggle technology, but HP has some incredible utility and support magic. If the wizards fought all the muggles they would only need one guy to teleport a gaggle of fire demons or a wizard nuke into the offices of every government, they would only need one guy to mind control the right person and have the muggles turn on each othe, they would only need one teleporting luck boosted assassin to take out every leader the muggles have. It really only takes one wizard to defeat humanity as long as that wizard is competent. Hermione didn't even need training in mental magic to completely erase herself from her parents memories, that's how powerful magic is against muggles.
>>738713727Harry didnt do anything like that and they still knew that he did it, UK is a surveillance state hellhole
>>738713986because he was underage dumbass, and even then iirc they don't can't even tell who did the magic, they just get alerted that magic happened close to an underage, and once you become a legal adult the tracking is automatically turned off>The Trace automatically broke upon a wizard or witch's seventeenth birthday; Remus Lupin and Ron Weasley each claimed that it was impossible for the Trace to continue to function on a person over the age of seventeen, and that it could not be placed on an adult.[1]even if they could track you again they would have to already suspect you, so again just don't be a retard and no one will ever know
>>738714302>once you become a legal adult the tracking is automatically turned offThat's what a surveillance state NPC would think
>>738714381oh you're just arguing for the sake of arguing, my bad
>>738714424I was having fun before but to think that even in universe they would "turn it off" is absurd.
>>738713815don't mention the multiple time tuners they had....
>>738687168I do not understand this joke/reference.
Nah, square the fuck up. We're doing this like humans.
>>738714548so what, you think they have a surveillance department tracking every single wizard in the country with alarms going off by the millions every single day every time any wizard does anything?also you're thinking of modern day UK while harry potter is set in the 90s and wizard society is basically still stuck in like the 1600s and very different from muggle society

>>738687128Avada kedavra only kills if it actually hits flesh, right? Why wouldn't wizards wear some kind of armor that avada can't penetrate? It can't be stopped or repelled by magic but it's stoppable by solid objects
>>738713372Vader can choke you through a tv screen. I doubt avada kedavera works through one.

>>738705618One of the actually interesting things Rowling did was make Wizards almost universally stupid or backwards, and most are outright scornful of progress due to how it could change the semi-classist status quo. Hermione and Malfoy's early spats are actually a major example of this; Malfoy is a wizard with a significant pedigree who comes from a rich family who live in a "Fuck you we're evil niggas" tier mansion with servants and little technology, while Hermione comes from muggle parents living in the suburbs who didn't have a clue what magic was while living average 'modern' lives. This leads ro Malfoy being an egotistical hot-head despite his constant failures, and Hermione being the target of his prejudice despite her successes simply because she's not from a 'real' wizard bloodline.
>>738687313Try looking up how many spics you will find in a online white supremacy group
>>738692742What happens if you mispronounce the spell? Do you still fire a green death laser?
>>738719896Your want fucking explodes.
>>738719792Your two points don't really connect even if they are individually correct. The reason why the british wizard world is so stagnant and almost classist is because magic brings the ultimate comfort. Even the Weasleys, who are supposed to be considered the poorest of the main wizard families, can afford a house of all their kids, school materials and all their kids (save for the ones who died) went on to have successful careers and mostly happy lifes.The Wizard world, by itself, is plump, comfortable and happy and changing anything about it, either through social changes or technological improvement, risks changing this seemingly perfect status quo. Hermione is a great example on why they don't like muggles or the idea of constant change and innovation they seem to have, constantly making new contraptions and trying to figure out the world without the help of magic, which wizards either find mildly amusing or downright weird.
>>738719896probably just some harmless green sparksalso iirc fake moody says it's not just about saying the words, you have to really deep in your sould wish to kill the person otherwise it won't work
Despite her liberal views I actually like JK Rowling.
It's funny how wizards are baffled by even the simplest muggle technology but they don't seem to mind a fucking "steam locomotive" that moves and pulls a line of "cars" on "rails"
>>738687128Alakablam.
>>738720173Would staves be the Wizarding equivalent to rifles?Can you full-auto stupify casts with one?
https://youtube.com/shorts/NxwTha2Mn3s
>>738720162They don't mind when the technology is introduced as a practical improvement. Same with toilets and plumbing. They just don't see the reason to be constantly looking for new things to make for no reason.
>>738712158kek
>>738719896Yeah but it comes out the other end
>>738720415So they think muggles should just have stayed as cave apes?
>>738720073How does the wand know I wanna kill a person sufficiently?
>>738711913Nothing. In fact, that's the real source of muggleborns: magical rape followed by memoria deletus spells.
>>738720219>buy a bundle of wands>tie them together with magic duct tape>get sent to azkaban because you're in posession of an assault wandi wonder what kind of stupid but overpowered shit you'd be able to pull out with this setting
>>738694680Nu /v/ and /tv/ doesn't appreciate this but I do
>>738687128If any bad guy can cast it then what makes Voldemort special?
>>738721676Magic tends to work conceptually
>>738721676The same way a wand "chooses" its ownerThe same way a random chain of syllables makes something happen that violates every law of physicsThe same way a potion alters the state of the entire world in any way required to favor you in whatever you need to do while you're high on said potion
>>738712145>use magic to increase penis length permanentlythe fuck is an auror going to do? go back in time to check if my penis length was in fact shorter?
>>738721676Its in tune with your thoughts and emotions. Harry could never properly cast Crucio because even if he did witness Bellatrix kill Sirius he just doesn’t have that same level of malice and cruelty in him that Death Eaters do. To wizards having the express intent on an emotional level to kill your opponent and successfully cast Avada Kedavra is one of the most horrendous things a person can do. Sure this is hypocritical when they hire soul devouring monsters and their schools are surrounded by enchanted forests with magic monsters but they dont think that far ahead.
>>738724393He'll use priori incantatem and see a magic recording of you firing your wand at your dickOr he could force you to extract and surrender that specific memory and play it on a pensieve

>>738725029But why would the magic cops be investigating your dick in the first place
>>738725196because i posted on the wizarding equivalent of 4chan about enchanting my dick most likely or something
>>738713554OI do you have a loicense for that magic?
>>738687128Reflect
>>738720073Than how comes no one survived kadavra before?
>>738725958probably because only real baddies who really wanted someone dead ever used it since its, you know, forbidden
bump
>>738717652Because it's not the danger of the spell that makes it prolific it's the nature of it. You have to completely intend to kill someone to use. It serves no other function. Other spells are arguably more dangerous like fiend fyre and Harry knew a spell that basically cut you the fuck up. But those can be cast without lethal intent or an accident or can be recovered from using counter spells or healing. It's the pure intent that makes them uneasy about avada kedrava. Like you can't even argue in wizard court you did not mean it.
>>738725958Because nerds and beta types don't even try. You wouldn't use a gun for defense or something if you knew there was any chance it wouldn't work and most people genuinely don't want to kill someone else even if they're dangerous they do it to survive. Hate is fuel for avada kedrava which is why Snape using it on Dumbledore was necessary. Snape is one of the of people who can just will himself to do something like that on a whim.
>>738729009Snape also has reason to hate Dumbledore because he believes he didn't' do enough to protect Lily. Hes an extremely petty person, probably more petty than every anon here put together.
>>738696552She didnt show up until after the disarming I think?Then again I forget if she was even there in the books.
>>738729143No anon you see Snape was a good guy and hero because he loved Lily so much and his story was so sad :(
>>738729175Even if she was, she's not the kind of person who would notice something like that and remember an obscure bit of wandlore about the transferability of wand ownership by force
>>738730052Only in the movies.
>>738730052
>>738733619Is it because Rickman was such a good actor he convinced women and tards Snape was a nice lad?
>>738693489They COULD, if they weren't retarded. At one point in the books Fred and George accidentally invent wizard kevlar (they enchanted hats with an inbuilt shield charm so that if your friend throws a pie at your face it'll fly back at them instead) and the Ministry starts placing bulk orders to put on every employee because nobody ever fucking thought of it before in wizard history.
>>738687451I now understand why snap and loopin were masticating so hard
>>738734242Yes, but also because the movies omitted a lot of backstory or rewrote it in a way that Snape ends up being a noble martir that actually cared about Harry. In the books he's mostly a coward.
>>738734608>in the whole history of magic, no one ever thought of putting charms on things one can wear until a couple ginger rascals came alongwizards really thought "aight let's stop here, why bother trying anything else" after one guy invented dollar store invisibility cloaks
>>738687128>>738692330https://youtu.be/85aHHbQ43T4shh
>>738692330>>Harry survives it>>TwiceIt's the power of Love™
>>738735909Same goes for Dumbledore who's actually a manipulative piece of shit and not the wholesome wizard papa as depicted in the movies.
>>738694527>And if they know what a gun is, they can put their shield up at the same timeThat's the neat part, they don't. And they have no respect for how dangerous flinging a lump of lead at lethal speeds can really be, as shown when they were putting up posters for Sirius. Like, it's dumb that in wizard duels, levitating and chucking rocks at your opponent can be seen as a perfectly viable move, and yet a device in your offhand that is literally a point and click kill attack with no verbal components is not even considered as a threat by wizards because it's muggle made.
>>738694680>"dehed deh dehs."Stretched my sides
>>738721265They think technology is not worth the hassle and basically see it in the same way an aristocrat sees manual labor. Yeah, it has its uses, but magic is so more practical that even putting the effort into understanding technology feels like a waste of time to most of them.Hence why Mr. Weasley is seen as downright cuckoo for finding muggle technology fascinating, it's like being interested in, I dunno, typing machines when you have smartphones readily available in your pockets at all times.
>>738687313The pureblood bit was a larp. Voldemort only cared about himself, his own power and living forever. The pureblood racists were just convenient retards that would follow him no questions asked.
>>738718426Where in the books is Avada Kedabra blocked by obstacles? The movies treat it as a physical projectile but it's literally magic.
>>738687128omg he looks just like a snake!
>>738731804Wand lore that is obscure even for people in the wizard world because it's usually reserved for wand crafters who are also massively secretive because it's literally the crux of the current power of the wizards, to the point where goblins fucking hate them for keeping it secret for so long.
>>738705618time turner was definitely a fluke that I think Rowling has gone on record saying she regrets ever writing the luck potion, when it's brought up in the books, does have caveats. It requires several very rare/expensive ingredients, is unironically very difficult to brew, and it is mentioned how it's not as powerful as you think it is, and overuse of it makes people reckless thinking it gives them more than it actually does.
>>738739042Once he had 8 horcruxes, couldn't he have fucked off to a different continent and lived forever? Like, realistically book 1, if he gets the philosopher's stone why wouldn't he just leave europe forever and be immortal? Hell, Flammel never died, couldn't he have just forced him to make another philosopher's stone and in exchange fuck off for like 500 years?
Going back through the books recently and as time goes on, I can kinda see why Rowling went full cold turkey and wanted Hermione to be black in all future adaptions.That being solely for the house elf right's arc she gets half way through the books. Have the black kid be anti-slavery.
>>738720219I suppose staves are just impractical in comparison to the portable wand, especially as most wizard fights seem to have almost no actual physical combat to it besides being able to keep your stance again blowbacks.I'm sure staves were more of a fashionable option before wands were the standards. Also, if we take in account the lore, another reason why they use wands is because they use magical creatures hair or heart fibers to make the core of the wands and using a big staff for it would need too much material which would make it too expensive to mass produce. It is a business at the end of the day, after all.
>>738739579Does she not realize the UK abolished slavery before the US did? And when they did it was 99% white?
>>738739578It's because of the prophecy of his downfall. He became obsessed with it, and made it self-fulfilling.
>>738725368But wouldn't you not remember it in the first place? At most you'd be questioning if something did something to you or if anything happened rather than expressly saying you did something.
>>738739663Maybe? The change came during JK's whole I'm semi-progressive era like when she made Dumbledore gay. What's more progressive in the mind of a middle aged rich white woman than having one of your leads be black and having them be against slavery?
>>738739291Even as a magic attack, the books treat it like a discrete beam projectile that is slow enough to dodge, and it's not like it continues in a straight path forever, so it stands to reason it can be blocked by terrain thick enough >>738739649>Not just asking your Veela GF to grow out her hair just so you can slap it into a sick staff Having magic wand ingredients coming from creatures that can learn magic and that are completely renewable feels a bit weird.
I wish the US wizards were cowboys and used guns with wands, I think that was a major misstep for the fantastic creatures movies and they made the US wizards pretty lame.
As someone who wasn't around when the books came out, I've always been confused why these books had as big of an impact as they did.It seems to be a fandom in that many of the people who are into it don't actually read that many books. It's also a children's/YA fantasy book series, but you see so many millenials and boomers still consuming this franchise whenever it rears its head in various slop forms.And my understanding is that it was the books that made the franchise a hit. The movies certainly helped, but from what I've read and understood, the books themselves broke out from "reader" containment into the screen-starer community (people who mainly watched TV and sat at their computers). What caused this? I think anyone who has read a good amount of fantasy will recognize the books are okay, but as far as fantasy or even YA fantasy goes, there are way better franchises that didn't have this amount of normie hype.
“The Dark Lord shall kill all of you. Then you must submit to him!!!!” Snape ejaculated menacingly.“You fucking preppy fags!” Serious shouted angrily.“I know a four-letter word 4 dirt, CRUCIATUS!!!” screamed Harry but da sparks from his wand only hit Draco’s car. It fell down Snap quickly crowled out of it and picked up the cideo camera.“Oh my fucking god!!!1” I cried becoze the video of me in da bathrum, the video of me dong it wif Drako and the video of Satan doing it with“If you kill me then deze cideos will be shown to everyone in the skull. Then u can be just like that goffik girl Paris Hillton.” He laughed meanly.“No!” I scremed. “FYI I hav da picter of u doing it with Loopin!!!!11”“Whats she talking abott??????” Lupin slurped as he sat in chains.“I saw 2 she’s gunna show evry1 da picter!!!111” Harry shouted angrily.“Shut up!!!111’” Lumpkin roared.“Foolish ignoramuses!!!!!!” yielded Voldemort from his broomstick. “Thou shall all dye soon.”“Think again you fucking muggle poser!!!!!1” Harry yelled and then he and Diablo and Navel both took out blak guns! But Voldimort took out his own one.“U guyz are in a Latin stand-of!!!!!!!111” I shouted despariedrly.“Acco Nevel’s wand!!!11” cried Voldrimort nd suddenly Nevil’s wind was in his hands. “Now I shall kill thee all and Evony u will die!!!!!!!!11111”He maid lighting come all over da place.“Save us Ebony!” Dumbledark cried.I cried sexily I just wanted 2 go 2 the commen room and slit my wrists with mi friends while we watched Shark Attak 3 and Saw 2 and do it with Draco but I knew I had 2 do somefing more impotent.“ABRA KEDABRA!!!!!!!!!!!11111” I shooted.
>>738739042>>738739578>>738739702Also, actually Voldemort did believe, to an extent, that wizards were strictly better than humans and he really loved the fact that he was directly related to Slytherin through is mother's family. He just couldn't bear to believe that he could be inferior in any way to other people and his hatred for his parents, his shitty lovestruck mother and muggle father made him feel like he was unique enough to be above both in skill and authority, so he'd dominate the superior caste, the wizards, as basically an immortal lich monster for all eternity, to cement himself as the strongest and most talented individual required him to be.Reason why he always used ancient magic or avada kedavra to kill and destroy his enemies, to gloat that he could even do it in the first place. He reveled in being superior to others, his ego was everything he was.
>>738739957The problem with FB is Newt Scamander is a side character in his own trilogy which promoted itself as being focussed on the rare and well, fantastic creatures that inhabit the wizarding world. People want to watch an autistic cryptozoologist discovering and employing conservation efforts to species, not Johnny Depp then Mads Mikkelsens struggle to enslave humanity with Dumbledore and Ezra Miller thrown in.
>>738739649The romans probably invented wands
>>738695867Yes, because the books are more about vibes and teaching some basic morals and ideas for children than being something your supposed to think about logically.
>>738739884>Having magic wand ingredients coming from creatures that can learn magic and that are completely renewable feels a bit weird.Eh, they imply that different part have different "potencies" and can affect the quality of the spellcasting. Stuff like heart fibers from a dragon are NOT easily renewable since dragons in general are an endangered species that have to be taken care of by caretakers around the world, including a Weasley sibling working as one.If I recall, in the fourth book, Ollivander is checking the wands of the kids that are taking part in the tri-wizard tournament and checks Fleur and argues that despite the veela hair core, it works well because it's from Fleur's grandmother so it's the best affinity she could have, otherwise you'd get some crazy stuff like how Harry just waving the wrong wand in the first book/movie almost destroyed Ollivander's store.
>>738739989As someone who WAS, you gotta understand; it was like a more accessible, enjoyable Game of Thrones for young adults with a real ending in sight. By book 3 or 4, it had hit mass appeal, and then from there each new book kept bringing in new readers, especially as the first movie was coming out. Tie that in with lego sets, video games, merch, and it became a media juggernaut and from there it didn't matter as much quality-wise; everyone was reading. It helped that the books would partially "grow" with the readers, you would watch harry live his life and grow up as the books kept coming out. You might have been the right age to see a similar, way smaller phenomenon with the hunger games books and movies.
>>738739989I'm going to make a 7 episode fantasy thriller with compounding and intersecting mysteries. And she did. Without faffing about. Look at fucking Game of Thrones to understand why Harry Potter succeeded. There was a new episode every year or so and it consistently raised the stakes every time. It's not a masterpiece, but in some ways it was a perfect serial
>>738738426Dumbledore did it for the greater good and even harry understood trading his life for peace and safety in the wizard world was worth it
Imagine being Voldemort. You get a prophecy that one of two babies is going to kill you. Okay, well it can't be a fucking Longbottom, so it has to be this Potter kid. Ah shit, the mom's in the way. You promised your only competent Death Eater that you wouldn't kill her. Sigh, but she really won't move out of the way and is using herself as a shield. Fuck it, you're the Dark Lord. Oh shit, the baby reflected your spell with the power of bullshit love. What the fuck. Now I'm trapped as a face in some guy's sweaty head under his turban. Fuck it's hot here. Is that Potter? Fucking piece of shit faggot Potter, gonna get that bitch. Oh nevermind he beat me. What the fuck man.Is that a giant basilisk that I left here to kill muggles? Oh fuck yeah. What the fuck, Potter killed it. Okay, well giant man-eating serpent vs a child, that was an even fight I guess.My servant has been cosplaying as a Weasley rat for 11 years. What the fuck is this dude's problem? Oh actually his Tri-Wizard Cup idea... Well, it's fucking stupid, but what else do I have? Surely Harry can outrun a dragon, fuck it. Whatever.What the fuck, it worked? Quick, kill that other witness and get me over to him! Oh fuck yeah, I'm back baby. Flesh and blood and everything. Rat-fucker your plan actually worked, I must admit. Now to blast Potter into oblivion.Fucking hell, he's holding me off? How? Is that a basic spell he's using? Wait, is that the Portkey? Why is it still active? Shit, he got away!I'm surrounded by incompetents.
>>738739989JK Rowling just had a knack for colorful description and compeling dialogue for, you know, 11-13 year olds having magical adventures that weren't the classic sword and shield setting and wasn't just YA romance fodder. It truly painted a world for young kids to insert themselves in that was "believable" enough, with all the usual flaws a society like that would have, even as the books began.If you want more in-depth worldbuilding, consistent quality, sure, but it was perfectly fitting for the demographic it was aiming for and just challeging enough to also be a fun read for older audiences.
>>738739989What everyone else says is true, but they're leaving out the most important factor. The late 90s to late 2000's were the fantasy (and sci-ifi) renaissance. Everyone was all in on that shit, from women with their twilight, kids with Harry potter, normies with LOTR, etc etc
>>738739989The movies were popular and Harry was cute in the earlier ones.
>>738739989I don't know but once parents saw other parents buying the books for their kids they'd do the same. The only reason my magic/fantasy hating parents bought it was because it was "publically acceptable" and their coworkers kept talking about buying it for their kids.
>>738740329>By book 3 or 4, it had hit mass appealWhat confuses me the most is why this series specifically kind of broke out from the audience of "people who read books" to "people who normally don't read books". I think when you look at other YA fantasy series, there's stuff like The Wheel of Time. Those books are highly popular within reader spaces, but never had the kind of break-out success the Harry Potter books did.>It helped that the books would partially "grow" with the readers, you would watch harry live his life and grow up as the books kept coming out.This actually does kind of make sense to me, but I still wonder what the specific conditions for this series being discovered by the larger population were. Was there a marketing campaign to reach non-readers? Was it all just word-of-mouth? Something like the Song of Ice and Fire only became popular in non-reader spaces after the TV show, but it seems like it was the reverse for Harry Potter.
Might as well post it again.The virgin Harry Potter wizards:>hide away from the non-magical folk to avoid being genocided>avoid using their magic on non-magical folk>hide their school in the middle of the cold and damp ass highlands>wave little twigs around>couldn't stand up to one dark lord and two dozen cronies>only eat big dinners at school>rise the ranks by reading books, passing tests and making new discoveries like a bunch of nerds>most powerful wizard got his title by cheating with the Elder Hax Wand>afraid of deathThe Chad Discworld wizards: >live among non-magical folk, openly display their magical status>use their magic on anyone who fucks with them, give zero fucks>put their school smack bang in the middle of their world's biggest city>use solid oak six foot staffs with knobs on the end>can stand up to dragons, elves, Things from the Dungeon Dimensions and even the Auditors of all reality>eat big dinners their whole lives>rise the ranks by 86ing their superiors>most powerful wizard fucking earned his title by being too robust and sharp to kill>summon death to ask him trivial questions
>>738740893Word of mouth and the internet being new to most people I guess. Thanks AoL...
>>738687128ah bruh kada bruh
>>738740979I LOOOOOVE DISCWORLD
>>738687128So why nobody besides the Potheads used that mirror force spell again?
>>738739989>a children's/YA fantasy book series, but you see so many millenials and boomers still consuming this franchiseIt's called nostalgia, same reason anyone still gives a shit about star warsMe, I stopped caring about Harry Potter but it's more just being tired of everything getting ruined by woke corpos than me no longer enjoying Harry Potter stuff. I'd maybe be interested in a HP show if they did something new and interesting with the setting instead of just retelling the original 7 books/movies only with more blacksAs for why it became so massive, in addition to what other anons said, I guess it was just the right thing at the right time
Where would the world be without the British carrying fantasy and sci-fi...
>>738741096Which spell is that?
>>738741047Discworld is so much better than Harry Potter that it's not even funny.
>>738687128>"wizards">actually they're all sorcerers with magic either hereditary or a freak mutation
>>738739989Because at the start it was just one movie and three books with legit cool world building. And for the early 00s HP hitted a really sweet spot in entertainment >Fantasy mixed with the modern day that wasn't too nerdy or complex>No trading cards, diabolical creatures or merch that forced you to buy a ton of shit to enjoy it, so it was better than Pokémon >HP convinced kids to read>HP convinced kids that school was cool, or at least Hogwarts was>No internet so no one overanalized or pointed out the flaws of the books or movie>Parents saw other parents buying books and tickets for their kids so it was socially acceptable
>>738740979based
>>738741285Doesn't Discworld have like 50 booksI don't doubt it's better than HP because Rowling's prose is high school tier and HP lore and setting fall apart with just five minutes thinking, but of course HP would be mroe successful, it's much more accessible and demands less commitment
>>738740979>can stand up to dragons, BS. That was Errol who defeated dragon>elves,BS no. 2. It was Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg who fucked elves. Discworld Science do not fucking count >Things from the Dungeon Dimensions (kind of) BS no 3. It was Victor Tugelbend, Ginger and Gaspode who defeated intrusion of Dungeon Dmensions in Holly Wood. Yeah, Victor was a dropout from UU, but he was very carefull to NEVER finish studies, so he was never a wizard>and even the Auditors of all realityBS no 4 (and the biggest one) It was Susan and DEATH who defeated Auditiors, both in during their intrusion in Thief of Time and in Hogfather
>>738739989the first three movies were good kids' movies, a lot of fun and a lot easier to understand the lore for 7-9 year old me than LotR.it got worse and worse as it went into teen and young adult territory. I checked out by movie 5 (never liked reading).
>>738742657the movies are good until david yates took over and made everything absurdly drab and colorless, not that it didn't fit the mood of the books, but he took it too far
Do you guys ever think about how Barty Crouch Jr was arguably one of the best teachers at Hogwarts? Outside of Lupin, I don't think Harry learned more from any other teacher and Crouch went out of his way to even comfort Neville, despite him being partially responsible for his parent's deaths. He was also the only competent Death Eater.
>>738687128
>>738743064well that's the interesting thing about himhe's an absolute lunatic and yet he plays his role so perfectly he becomes a top tier and fair professor
>>738743064>He was also the only competent Death Eater.now imagine how incompetent the good guys must be if the whole country can just be taken over by what, 15 or 20 edgelords in their 50s? and then it has to be saved by some high schoolers
>>738743064>Be the best Voldemort Death Eater>Literally buffed Harry (and many others indirectly) to be competent fighters I guess Voldemort pride was way too high and really wanted to fight the best of the best, otherwise Voldemort ordering Barty to be the best teacher Hogwarts ever had was one of the dumbest things he ever did
>>738707169Probably, the seventh book in particular had its share of moments that don't make much sense>>738708018It absolutely can, and it has its fair share of genuinely good elements, lore, and so on, but there are also gaps in logic that just beg to be pointed out... and can lead to all sorts of random theories, if you are in the mood for that
>>738743064He was a genius in the books whos story was more sympathetic as hes described as falling in with a bad crowd. Its an understatement he managed to nail the mannerisms of another man and then teach without drawing suspicion to himself until the very end. I mean to fool guys like Snape and Mcgonagall who are very perceptive is crazy
>>738743589Voldy never could've expected the level of deus ex machina bullshit between his wand and Harry's.
The magic in the HP universe is cozy and filling. Why do you think Wizards have no interest in muggles? It's like an European not caring about Adokahkah in his grass hut in Africa.
>>738743064Barty was a method actor.
>>738739291Fifth book, near the end, blocked by a statue animated by Dumbledore (which is destroyed)
>>738743702>He was a genius in the books whos story was more sympathetic as hes described as falling in with a bad crowd.>literally Snape's backstory as wellC'mon now, Joann. Actually Crouch was even more sympathetic because the only thing I remember about him was the Pensieve scene where he's crying like a bitch to his dad about getting sentenced to Azkaban. You don't even know if he actually did anything until the big reveal at the end of the movie.
>>738743589The entire premise is retarded>I'm gonna infiltrate one of my guys into Harry Potter's school, with orders to allow Harry Potter to complete his whole school year, help the boy excel in the Triwizard Tournament, all so he can eventually touch a teleport thingy at the end of the tournament, so I can get his blood to rebuild my body and then duel him in a cemetery>what? I could just order my guy to murder the boy first day of school and get a blood sample? NO IT MUST BE ME AND IT MUST BE AN HONORABLE DUEL
>>738705618The series caring more about being fun than making total logical sense is half the reason it became so big.
>>738687451I still think about Voldemort giving her a gun and her going back in time to shop at Hot Topic instead of stopping Voldemort.
>>738740979>no mention of wizards being actual virgins>no mention of gigachad sourcerors>no mention of magical wastelands created from wizard wars>no mention of wizards being male only and witches being coping femcels who only have access to natural magic
>>738743064>>738743589>>738744071Honestly, the honorable combat is fucking based wizarding tradition. One on one duels are kino.
>>738744071The books mention it didn't have to be Harry's blood, since it just required an enemy and that was basically the entire wizarding world. Tom just couldn't stand getting dabbed on by a literal infant and that hateboner fueled him to make retarded mistake after retarded mistake. I do wonder if a student could get murdered in Hogwarts, since the school had protection. The first three books go out of their way to stop murders from happening on school grounds and all the other deaths happen offsite or after the school's protections were broken.
>>738687313Do you even read the books or watch the films? Where did Dumbledore found him? In an orphanage. Dumbledore brought him in, into Hogwarts after seeing his natural inert penchant for sorcery. Tom Riddle is a wizard after all. Tom Riddle didn't know that. He just knew he's a weird kid and weird things happened around him as his will and intents amnifested them, and often it's dark, like things burst to flames etc. He hated muggles, he hated his father, because he was an outcast because of it. If he was born pureblood he woulda stayed in the magical realm, magical household. But no, his muggle father abandoned his witch mum, and he ended up in the orphanage, which was a grim upbringing. Again it parallels Harry's upbringing, an orphan, living without love, the black sheep, the scapegoat in the household, abused, outcast, strangers to everyone including confusion on self identity and self origin. Harry journey, his life in Hogwarts was an upturn because he was surrounded by love, from people that cared about him. Something that Riddle never had and never understood. Harry, would've turned up just like Riddle, even without all that twisty spoiler. He already has the angst and despair brewing inside him, from living in that shithole his whole life, in the cupbaord under the stairs. You don't need to add Riddle into the equation. Harry was headed for the same path, with or without him.
>>738692797We're looking at future Lindsay Lohan here.
>>738705618Liquid Luck is dangerous to take constantly and it's also hard to make and takes like 6 months. But yeah the time turners are the worst plot device in the entire series and unfortunately lead to the absolute fucking ABORTION known as The Cursed Child.
>>738744071This was literally in the same book that introduced Portkeys, which can be literally anything. Just enchant a knut or something and go "Potter, catch."
>>738741714Ignore the Tiffany Aching books and you cut out a whole load of books not worth reading.
>>738744071Everything started with Trelawney's prophecy you dumbfuck. When you hear something like that, it's like magic, like chaos magic, manifestation of the will of the cosmos, the Monad. So it's like a double edged-sword, a blessing or a curse depending on the observer. So basically it feels like someone puts a curse on you, or you're destined by the cosmos, the universe, by God, the Monad to fail, as the prophecy stated. The main hook of the prophecy was "neither can live while the other survives", and Trelawney suggest it's the fall of the Dark Lord, caused by a boy who was born in certain date and thus Riddle believed it. Thus the curse is set. the ball starts rolling, chaos, entropy, butterfly effect etc.Now how do you break the system, the curse? By actually following through it. Use the actual code or programming, the actual algorithm to destroy it. Self-fulfilling or destroying prophecy. So that's what Riddled did, rally up all the newborn that fits the prophecy and exterminate them all, so the prophecy is fullfilled/destroyed. Neither can live while one is alive shit. So kill them all. You alone live. Prophecy fulfilled. Newborns won't stand a chance against the Dark Lord. But that's how entropy works, chaos. Some primordial force of change. Some primordial force was also the very shield that protected Harry. Some divine shit, sacred shit, sacrificial shit. Lily gave up her life force to protect her son's. And you know what happened next. Again, the universe has a cunning way to course correct shit. The prophecy is fulfilled, somehow, anyway, and the boy did become the mark for the Dark Lord's downfall.
>>738692742This post gave me full-blown AIDS.
>>738741714>Doesn't Discworld have like 50 booksYeah, it's great if you like to read.
>>738745667>Everything started with Trelawney's prophecy>everything started because Voldemort took a prophecy made by fucking Trelawney seriously
*is the actual hero of the story in your path*
>>738687128AvaDEH KaDEHvra!
>>738745667dumbledore explicitly says the prophecy doesn't actually mean shit. it didn't bind harry and voldemort to anything, it was just saying what would happen in the future. it certainly didn't say the only way voldemort could kill harry was by a duel in a cemetery at the end of his 4th year
>>738741714I've read maybe 10 Discworld books and they were fine, but people really need to stop pretending it's some high brow shit. It's genuinely on par with HP. Some of the weak prose you're allowed to shrug off because it's "comedy", but I've seen people unironically putting Pratchett in the same tier as Tolkien or GRRM. There's a book where the entire premise is just wacky and quirky ways of describing a gun.
>>738746059I want to read an alternate history book where Neville was the chosen kid instead, with Luna as his love interest.
>>738744071>>738744469>>738745667Riddle didn't know Harry's blood stil carried the protection of the mother's will. It's like the bond that Snape made with Malfroy's mum, like a bloodpact of sorts, will of the lifeforce etc. So in Philosopher's Stone he melted and crumbled from that primordial force. In Goblet of Fire, they actually took Harry's blood sample and incorporated it into the Dark Lord's new reformed body. Now he's part of the "pact", he bypassed the primordial magic, because the blood kinda runs in him too. It was Pettigrew that cut and took the sample, not Riddle. Now that he's free of the binding he could actually touch Harry now, and harm him. Yes, he still need to fight him 1v1, again, as the prophecy calls it, you need to play the game as it's coded, if it says " either one can live, while the other survives" then that's just how it is.Because what happens if someone else, some minion kills Harry Potter? That doesn't stop the curse, the prophecy. If anything, now you have to find the Chosen One somewhere else, now you don't know who the fucking target is, which can come up anytime to stab Voldemort. But of course we knew who that is. The other Chosen One is Neville. In fact they were both the Chosen Ones, kinda like how there's multiple Tarnished in Elden Ring, multiple Nerevarine candidates in Morrowind, or best yet, your Ashen One Player Chadacter, Anri, Hawkwood and Sieggy in Dark Souls 3. If you think about it, there were exactly TWO identical Voldemort souls at the very kast moment. Harry killed off the one in Voldie and fucking Neville killed the one in Nagini pretty much at the same time.
>>738695867>in the book that fight is even more retardedHol'up, senpai. The book version of the final boss fight is way better. Rowling wrote a cinematic conclusion, then David Yates threw it in the garbage and made the utterly bizarre version we see in the movie. Deathly Hallows HAD a kino ending on paper.
>>738708617exactly how is this dumb?>oh hey it turns out disarming a nigger at light speed is VERY useful in a world where wands are sentient and will change allegiances based on how baller your spell was, so harry honing the shit out of expelliarmus (despite being regularly mocked for it) was actually the right choice
>>738746016>>738746143Yes, ironically that's how divination works. It's like Schrodinger's cat experiment, the Observer effect. Anon goes to a fair, goes into a fortune teller's booth. He's neither a believer nor a skeptic. But the fortune teller plants a seed inside him. Tells anon to avoid green because it's bad luck. Regardless what anon's stance is, he can't take it off of his mind. Anywhere he goes he avoid the green color - a bush, a fucking green baloon, green ice cream, green shirt and this actually drove him paranoid he keeps running and running until he tripped and hurts himself bad. Thus the prophecy becomes fulfilled. Green was bad luck.That's also what happens in the Matrix, no? Was the Oracle an actual clairvoyant that could see the future? She emntioned not to worry about the vase- What vase- Neo turned and actually accidentally tripped it over and broke it. Was it a divination of the future, or simply predictive programming? A planting of seed, doubt, of chaotic nature, chaotic will?That's what Marika did too in Elden Ring with Radagon.That's also what Sophie did with the Demiurge and the Monad.The Oracle represents Chaos, the Architect Order in the Matrix.
>>738701791The one where Voldemort and the Death Eaters are having a bitch fit is pure kino
>>738745667>But that's how entropy worksnone of this has anything to do with entropylearn what entropy actually is
>>738746447>Because what happens if someone else, some minion kills Harry Potter? That doesn't stop the curse, the prophecyAre you retardedA prophecy is just some mad woman in a trance saying "lalala something will happen someday lelele", it's not a curse, it's not the universe magically locking anyone into a set destiny. This is explained in the book nigga.
>>738746447why don't they just spam that protection on Harry? it's too overpowered
>>738705618>liquid luckThink about it this way, if the Demiurge is a Firewall that oversees and gatekeeps information travelling back and forth to and from the Machine, where the Source is, the true God, the Monad, the pool of consciousness, pure consciousness and pure information...Then the Demiurge will block most of your intent and prayers, your will as it sees fit, limiting our direct contact to the Source. Hence why our prayers are often dismissed, unanswered, yet often our will gets manifested in some form and we see it, obesrve it, feel it, like Syncronicity, a coincidence, Deja Vu evennow what if liquid luck is a substance, kinda like DMT or whatever, that elevates our consciousness to higher plane, or, perhaps allows us to make contact with the Source directly, bypassing the Demiurge?That's probably why things just go nonchalantly as you wished or intended. Your wish technically vets granted, payers answered, directly by the Source.Now what's the danger? What's stopping the Monad or the Source, the Dream, to takeover your will? Or the Demiurge to realize you made a direct connection to the Source, and taps into your holographic line, and corrupt it?
>>738748660If liquid luck allows you to directly make contact with the Source, the cosmos etc, then the will of the universe is directly in control of you as well, without even the Demiurge interferingLike the trolley problem, the universe sees an impending doom that could end reality itself, waking up the Monad, and thus reality cease existing (Godhead, reality is God's dream). So imagine if the trolley is CERN's Hadron collider and it's about to tap and break into Lorkhan's heart and it could destroy reality itself. You drank the luck potion nonchalantly going about your day, and then suddenly the will of the universe itself, like a course correcting directive, suddenly steers you barging into CERN and going in between the Trolley and Lorkhan and boom you fucking died to it, and Lorkhan's heart is spared. You died for the greater good of the fucking universe itself lol. Like fucking Jesus.Maybe it worked for Harry because he's already the Chosen One. What if Boromir drank liquid luck? He probably would die even earlier to protect Frodo, so the Fellowship could get to the end faster.
is this nigga tripping or just baiting
>>738748257What is chaos magick and divination IRL you retard. This is beyond you right now. Maybe read up some shit outside HP.
>>738748387How many mothers do you have?
>>738749092Two.
>>738748827>What is chaos magick and divination IRLThings that aren't real>read up some shit outside HPWhy? We're discussing HP and your ramblings don't apply to how stuff works in HP.
>>738749092so it's a convenient mom's power then? can anyone else do it?
>>738746996The funny part is that it's fucking Trelawney, who no one else takes seriously.
>>738749954Doesn't Dumbledore in the books tells Voldemort about love/mom magic when Voldemort applies to be a teacher in Hogwarts? Mom's magic is not that convenient if the villian knows about it in first place. Also, I always found stupid that Tom was supposed to be a prodigious student but a ton of not-so common but still researcheable knowledge escapes to him
>>738749690They're real and you're dumb. How do you explain fucking modern technology to a fucking ice-age to a caveman? What do they think of fucking computers? Fucking ChatGPT? Some sentient consciousness? Is AI fucking GOD?Science is simply the study of natural phenomenon through observation and experiments. Which the ancients have done for thousands of years. Modern Science is just applied Ancient Arcane. Ancient knowledge. Alchemy into spritual studies, religion, mathematics and chemistry, astrology. Astrology became Astronomy. Magic runes, symbols, glyphs, into electrical / electronic symbols and diagram, blueprints. What do you think coding and prgramming is? They're fucking ABSTRACT. Ideas and concepts that we manifested to reality through technology, which we've painstakingly built to allow it all to be possible. Building systems over systems, ecosystem that support each other. Computer chips, computer architectures, they're mirroring the very nature, and we've built an artifical nature, a microcosm that mirrors our own reality. As above so below. We're built our own cosmos and crystal ball into the palm of our hands.

>>738750516Harry also didn't know James was a cunt in his day
>>738739989I have never read the books and watched the movies for the first time during covid, the first 3 movies are really fun fantasy movies and I can understand why kids and adults loved them, the rest are plain trashThe fantastic beasts movies are similar, the 1st one is quite good, the other 2, not so much
>>738750667Convenient. When Kojima does it in his games or Nolan in his movies you plebs call them la genioso creativacucks
>>738750670He really wasn't a cunt, he bullied a literal incel nazi and then he became a gigachad who openly opposed the dark lord. James and friends were legit GOATed.>Sirius Black not only survives decades in magical guantanamo>he thrives>he becomes the madlad who actuallt escapes Death eaters were fucking outclassed, the order were fucking gigachads.
>>738750721Kojima and Nolan are hacks anon, dunno what else to tell you.
>>738750594You don't need to go far. In the books, when Voldy has his duel against Dumbledore, Voldy was trying really hard and Dumbledore, no meme intented, was fighting calmly, like he was sparring with a young student or something.Dunno about the Fastastic Animals canon, but Grindelwald vs Dumbledore duel despite being brief actually had both of them pulling some serious bullshit
>>738750796>incelSnape's not black, he's never been in a cell... oh... wait, nevermind.
>Mr. Malfoy, I am deeply disappointed that you believe shouting "GAS THE MUDBLOODS RACE WAR NOW" is acceptable behavior.>I'm afraid I must remove 10 points from Slytherin>Now please cover up your Dark Marks and wait until you graduate before you start killing innocent people>Well Mr. Malfoy, it seems we meet again. Unfortunately I have no time to pursue your comically large list of crimes despite knowing you will get away with everything unless I do so>You see, there is a child left behind from people who were incredibly close to me, and I must plan well so I can keep this poor child sufficiently ignorant and abusedNo wonder Harry named his kid after him, he was a good friend
>>738731804Not even Harry knew the deal until he was given a bedtime story a few months later
>>738750594>strongest Dark Wizard>fail to take over the schoolThe Voldemort we know wasn't peak Voldemort, tardy. Holy shit it's the fucking start of the book and the movies, the Voldemort we know has already fallen and terribly disfigured and weakened from the Horcruxes and from Harry. What we see is the return of Voldemort and him risen again to recover his past glory.The school did fucking fall. Voldie announced the fucking parley (speaking directly into their minds, and the weak and feebeld minds get hysteria) to give Harry a choice. Give up and turn yourself in and let the rest of the wizarding school live.Peak Voldemort was unstoppable. Again, it was Trelawney's prophecy that marked the beginning of his downfall, creating the *SPOILERS* accidental Horcrux which was Harry and split his souls more than humanly possilbe *SPOILERS* and he turned to a fucking ghoul fetus babby.That's how fucking divinely ironic the whole prophecy / curse was. HE WAS LITERALLY UNSTOPPABLE AND UNKILLABLE, IMMORTAL because of the Horcruxes.The accidental last Horcrux actually fucking puts him out of commision, crippled. And the last Horcrux was also ironically a fucking homing beacon that vould detect all the horcruxes.And I beg to differ, Riddle still managed to gather resources and help from (some) of his loyal minion, and was knowledgeable enough to put himself back together and rebuild his body and then regain his army back and rules again with fear, now with Dumbledore's gone.It's a fucking Bible story dude. They fought at the last (Third) Temple which is Hogwarts lol. They "kill each other". And it could only happen at the right time, right moment. And Dumbledore was like Hohenheim to Riddle/Father in FMAB. He was busy doing the same exact thing as Riddle, planning the same shit, using the same algorithm (Trelawney's prophecy) but he was just doing the inverted plan / diagram that would cancel out Riddle's grand plan, nullifying it.
>>738750796Snape did more than James ever could. Holy shit Snape was the one holding EVERYTHING together, from all angles and sides, inward and outward.
>>738750956I'm not the one making the story, I'm just giving you the tablet and tools to interpret the story.
>>738751984>hangs out with people that want Lily dead>calls Lily a mudblood when she wants the juvenile faggots to stop bullying him>tells that Dark Lord that his destined foe is a baby>and then is shocked when Tom, who routinely crucios or even kills his pureblood followers, ignores his plea to spare the mudblood Lily>11 years later, abuses her only son despite the poor boy being deliberately confined in an abusive household where he is kept ignorant of everything and is never encouraged to do any kind of learningWomen genuinely think this is an intelligent, tragic, and romantic character. Also Harry has such an advanced case of Stockholm Syndrome that they need a new name for it
>>738750796Snape's also part of the Order retard. It's Dumbledore's Order, not James'. James is just a small pawn in the whole fucking story. James is Malfroy. Holy fucking shit dude, James was a fucking NEPO BABBY. Harry's grandpapi was the inventor of a hair potion and that's the gold you see inherited in his vault. Aside from buying the candies in the first film with Ron in the express train we never really see Harry touch the money, because he lives in the Muggle world outside of the wizarding realm and later on he's 24/7 running away from the Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
>>738751174Part of his character was that he had oneitis with Harry's mom, loved her so much he was in love with Harry's eyes (same as his mom) and felt cucked by James and Harry looking exactly like James.
>>738751901>>h-he was unstoppable>Stopped by a random stacy and her baby>>h-he was rising again>stopped by a bunch of high school kidsDeath eaters are such a fucking joke
>>738751984>t. friendless incel
>>738752843Barty was great. So great in fact that he basically made (indirectly) all those high school kids the competent fighters that defended Hogwarts
>>738752843>Newt's grandson was apparently in Hogwarts at the time>Newt never once shows up during all of this despite his magical zoo trolling the living shit out of Grindelwald and his followers back in the dayEvery detail that Rowling adds after the fact makes her original story look that much more retarded
>>738752625Snape doesn't become part of the order until after lily dies retardbro.Yeah the absolute gigachad James waan't even the strongest member of the order deathfags were destined to lose from the beginning lmao it was the logical conclusion of a beta uprising, the chads ultimately roflstomp all those loser incels.
>>738751901>*SPOILERS*Do newfags not know that spoiler tags exist? I've even seen some idiot today try to use the discord spoiler thingy to hide text.
>>738752960Yeah Barty and Bellatrix are the only good ones, Barty has the feat of actually besting Alastor.
>>738752689good thing harry's parents were killed, imagine if harry had grown up into a second james
>>738753013yeah she should've kept the details at a minimum, harry potter works way more as a soft magic kind of world
>>738753142If James was still alive Snape would've been their servile cuck like what Biff ends up being in the return to the future movies. He'd basically be an inferior Kreacher
>>738753142imagine if harry was a girl and looked like lily instead
>>738753390Snape would've 100% tried to groom her
>>738753390>looks like a clone of lily>but has james' eyesbonus points>ends up in slytherinsnape would be so mad he'd be like one of those vibrating memes but 24/7
>>738753670Henrietta ends up femdomming Snape and taking over house Slytherin in her first year.
>>738752591Snape never specifically sold out Lily. He just telegraphed the existence of Trelawney's propechy to the Dark Lord, which targeted all the babies including Neville. He overheard it from Dumbledore, which Dumbledore knew and deliberately kept out the second half of the prophecy. That's how he planted the seed on Snape. When Voldemort found out about the full prophecy, which stated the baby would be "his equal", meaning, as strong as him, that's when he lashed out, that's when the full effect of Trewlaney's prophecy got to him, and his paranoia peaked and sent out to get all the babies, which includes Lily. When Snape found out the extent of this sequence of event, was when he returned to Dumbledore and begged, and made a pact with Dumbledore to protect and "hide" Lily. Dumbledore always knew. He misplace or rather skew and manipulate your trusts or end of a deal and always comes out with the long straw, better end of the deal. Always has been, Dumbledore was an opportunistic capitalist. Of course he "failed" to save Lily, because he knows what's gonna happen from there onwards. Him trying to get Harry to get Slughorn to give out the info on Riddle/Horcrux was just a simple confirmation to the theory he already knew, especially after wearing the ring himself. Snape was flabbergasted during one of their last meeting. He now knows Dumbledore planned it all along. Bringing up Harry, Lily dying for the shield spell. Voldemort splitting. Snape eavesdropping Dumby, snitching to Voldy, then returning to Dumbo to switch alliance, and even then it was still Dumbo's idea to keep and let Snape stay in service as a Death Eater for Voldo as a double agent. Dumby's kinda a cunt. He even knew he had to collect the Deathly Hallows for a reason, and it's not for himself, but to oppose the possibility of someone who might just do what Vold did with the Horcruxes.

>>738754428>waaaaah stop attacking the nazi incelNah, Snapetards need to be ridiculed wherever they are. IMO this just proves Allan Rickman has god tier charisma, same thing with his character in love actually.
>>738754543Yes, Rowling wanted to get fucked by shota chosen one dick such is the fate of old fujoshis.
>>738754585Correct. Fuck Snape, and not in the way he wants.
>>738695867Voldemort was a prideful guy who WANTED to beat Harry the same way he got beat. It's like when you lose to a boss in an RPG and refuse to change your build to something that would counter it.
I enjoyed the audible/amazon adaptions. Michelle Gomez as Professor Mcgonagall was inspired casting choice.
>>738693026harry is supposed to be handsome though?it is heavily implied throughout the books that he and his father were good looking
>>738693026By casting a black Snape they have free advertising from quarter pounder and all his grifter friends.It would be unabashedly B A S E D if they later reveal it's gonna be another character and they just used that to get free publicity from the youtuber outrage industry
>>738754585Kreacher, Filch, fucking Mundungus has more screen time than fucking James. James is absolutely a fucking filler character, even to Harry. It's Sirius Black that has more weight and presence in the story. That fucking speech he gave to Harry in the Black manor in the room with the lineage portrait in the wall. And Lupin. They're the memorable characters, because James is fucking dead and you only get second whatever slop stories from these characters reminiscing about their times with James. What you're feeling is the vibe given off from Sirius and Lupin, not James. James has no presence. Not the first movie in the mirror, pictures. Not in fucking Goblet of Fire Kamehameha scene, not even in the fucking Ressurection Stone scene. The most impactful James scene was the bullying memory. That was James for the most part in Hogwarts. He's fucking Malfroy, fucking Biff LMAO, nepo babby bullies. The gang (James, Sirius, Lupin, Pettigrew, whatever their furry names were) was actually mischievous menace during their time in Hogwarst, always getting and starting troubles. Sure they matured enough in their adulthood. Heck Pettigrew has more presence and weight the fucking series than James LMAO. He was the downfall of James and uprise of Voldemort.
>>738755228>Free advertisingIt's HARRY POTTER
>>738755456>t. malding SnapeWeren't you dead or something?>>738755493You mean the same franchise its main base abandoned because rowling wasn't progressive enough?This move appeals to the virtue signalers and gets free publicity
Main fanbase abandoned Harry Potter because the Cursed Child story and Fantastic Beast films were ass desu. JK going full chudda was just an easy excuse.
>>738755678I don't think that a bunch of random YouTubers ranting about the show would bring in more publicity than being Harry Potter. The liberal fanbase isn't going to watch it since they believe watching it kills transsexuals for some reason.
>>738755741true, rowling going full retard with "hermione was always black", "dumbledore was totally grindelwald's bottom!" and also contributed.
>>738755779>liberalYou're thinking prog, liberal =/= prog. You're probably a liberal yourself
I personally don't know who is the new show for. Normalfags abandoned HP because just like GoT had a shit ending, liberals don't like it because it kills minorities or some shit only happens in their head and chuds don't like HP in first place. The only ones that maybe will watch are ourselves, the guys that make fun of the whole series but still find it enjoyable, and we aren't that numerous or just waste that much money on HP
>>738740979You forgot>More than 40 novels long and requires consulting a guide before each one to know which to read next
>>738756017>You're probably a liberal yourselfNah, man. I'm a hardcore Catholic who thinks democracy was a mistake every other day. I do get what you mean, though.>>738756142The series is still pretty popular among normalfags from what I've seen. Hogwarts Legacy sold a bunch of copies. I think China and Japan are also both huge fans of HP, though I'm not sure if they'd like some of the changes.
>>738756142It's normieslop, the same audience who watches live action adaptations of anime and cartoons.

>>738756224I don't count Hogwarts Legacy as a main part of HP. It has nothing to do with Harry, Voldemort or Dumbledore, just the setting and it helps it was released around the time when normalfags still were in love with open world games. I guess my point is that for a show that was announced with a year (or two) of antocipation I don't see It having big ass numbers like HP did in the early 00s
>>738750413I always thought tom shrugged it off as just dumbledore being sentimentalI don't think he was taking it as literally, I don't even think dumbledore himself was necessarily speaking about the power of magic barriers conjured up by motherly loveand I doubt either of them even knew that the actual magical powers of love were being researched inside the ministry, at the very least tom certainly didn'tbut even if he did believe in such a force his ego wouldn't have allowed a different outcomehis would still had pitted his dark arts against it and got blow up>>738729175bellatrix and the others show up after dumbledore is disarmeddrake literally disarms him the same moment he opens the tower door and dumbledore uses that half a second he could've deflected to instead petrify harry and force him to to not intervenebellatrix does make a comment about dumbledore being cornered and looking weak but I don't recall if she even realizes he is currently wandless since he is essentially being held at gun point by draco by the time they arrive
>>738754981Voldy could have just buried his horcruxes in the middle of a desert somewhere or thrown them into the ocean and nobody would ever find them. The entire plot relies on him being a prideful retard to work.
>>738695673
>>738687168ah yes.
>>738692330Voldemort's main weakness is his unbridled pride and arrogance based on being a wizard. He would never deign to touch a muggle weapon or kill Harry except by magical means. This is because rowling is a hack.
>>738757771HP Wizards are dumb as fuck a mage assassin like Kiritsugu would solo the verse.
>>738746448For me it's when Harry didn't repair his own phoenix wand at the end of the film. He could still have broken the Elder one after.
>>738755228more likely they were trying to find a way to kill straight comparisons to rickman.
A funny concept for a Harry Potter villain would be a muggle that is inexplicably immune to any spell or charm, including memory manipulationImagine going to a new fantastic world and realizing it's filled to the brim with fucking idiots and the only thing stopping them from dominating or bringing the end of the world is their own stupidity, not even the lack of want
>>738740979wth is "86ing" someone?
>>738758263You don't even need the muggle to be immune, just to be aware, avada kedavra is wholly inferior to a sniper or RPG.
>>738757837>HP Wizards are dumb as fuck a mage assassin like Kiritsugu would solo the verse.True however you must also remember that this is set in bongistan, so harry would have a hard time getting a gun.
>>738755830>"hermione was always black"qrd?
>>738758381I don't give a shit about Avada Kedavra, the real anti-muggle spell are memory charmsIf the guy is immune to magic they can't stop him from spreading the information among muggles (even if they can get to control those, it could very easily get out of hand) and forming an armed resistance against their worldHe can still be killed by other dangerous spells that don't target him (just accio an anvil above his head lmao) but it'd make for a much more interesting confrontationMake the guy realize that this secret society of people that can blend naturally among muggles, can secretly control and manipulate them, and can make insane magical stuff is a liability against the civilized world, because even though they're all retarded and most of them are pacific or pacifists, it wouldn't take much for them to enslave every single muggle like they enslaved the house goblinsBeing immune to their manipulation he's also the only muggle capable of resisting, and because they're still pacific he has the only chance humanity might ever have against them

>>738758634true I guess that's why knives are banned over there, bellatrix ohkod the teleporting nigga with a dagger, it wasn't even a remarkable knife lol
>>738758894She also said wizards don't use underwear because they would just shit on the ground and magic it away, among many other thingsHilarious

>>738758804>I don't give a shit about Avada Kedavra, the real anti-muggle spell are memory charmsMemory charms sort of imply that there is a lot of rape going on. A lot.
>>738758894When the cursed child play came out a black woman played hermione, fans got uppity and rowling said emma watson could suck a dick, hermione was always black.For a period of time she would tweet the most unhinged shit if she thought it would be a cool retcon, I think there was a tweet about wizards being jeet tier and never using bathrooms, just using magic to get rid of piss/poop and also and implied threesome where a fomestic elf cucks Ron.
>>738759043This sounds deranged. I haven't seen Cursed Child.>and implied threesome where a fomestic elf cucks Ron.What the fuck is wrong with her
>>738759023Hell noIf I was a wizard I'd invent a spell to teleport my shit from inside of me to inside a mudblood
>>738687128>Harry, you must rock the fuck out.
>>738759039>Memory charms sort of imply that there is a lot of rape going on. A lot.And who knows what else. Can you imagine the sorts of evil things one could get away with memory charms and all this magic?I don't care if their race is pacific for now. Who knows when they won't, and who could stop them if they didn't want to?Hence a muggle serial killer/terrorist/punisher type of character would be a fantastic addition to the story, most justified genocidal bastard in all of fiction lol

>>738759280That's because stopping Hitler is gay and lameGrindelwald is likewise gay (canonically) and lameMuggles literally can't do anything against wizards unless you make up an hypothetical scenario where one is literally immune to magic, and even then he would never actually winPlus the whole cuckery about 'purebloods' not being actually essentially different from 'muggleborns' imply there is no distinction of character between the human race and the wizard race, they just have access to magicA muggle Grindelwald would be 1000x more justified and interesting
>>738759332That's all of fantasy anon, edgy chud fantasy is dark fantasy.

>>738687451Print release when?
>>738758354restaurant slang for "we are out of that shit", but somehow it became slang for killing someone, or "get rid of".
>>738735909These are the same retards that have only just realised it's kind of fucked how the muggles can just shoot us to death without magic and maybe we should study that a bit but the whole practicise is regarded with scorn by fellow wizards. Which is a classic JK "yeah don't think think too hard about this" thing when like half the wizards are from fucking muggle families. What, not one muggle-born wizard is bringing their ipad/nokia 3310 given the period it was written in to hogwarts? Not one kid graduates and decides you know what? What if I animate a bunch of fucking machine guns and go take over wizard westminster? Not one wizard out here eying up the combination of tactical nuclear warfare and wizard transmutation?
>>738759539>How would the wizards deal with a supersonic ICBM blowing the ministry out of nowhere?Depulso them to India>make it not a muggle but rather those who are wizard born but have no powers like the janitor of Hogwarts and you have the motivation: wizards treating them as second class citizensI don't like the "uh, actually it's because they treated me badly" angle. I mean it could work, and it would be up there with how the series is usually written, but I think that a regular muggle that just rationally deducts how much of a threat to the world wizards actually are is a much better option. You can't really debate against him, because it's not like he hates wizards or was badly treated by them, he's actively taking advantage of the fact that they're a race of docile people not interested in world domination. But just their existence, and the disparity between a wizard and a muggle inherently makes them a threat. Maybe a wizard-born with no powers, except he's able to cast counter-spells, so he identifies more with the muggles than with the wizards?
>>738759828Isn't Harry Potter set in the 80s?
>>738759332That one anon is very mentally ill and hasn't left /v/ in some time. They literally just post that one copypasta that demonstrates they actually have zero literacy because that's not even the point of discworld wizards and then samefag how wonderful discworld is with the same fucking aforementioned reddit-tier aphorisms. Don't get me wrong I fucking love the books myself but it's sad to see /v/ held at mercy by a schizo who can't fucking read for the fucking billionth time.
>>738759828The answer to this is that JK is a white English woman born into a still high trust society and she trusts people of her race (and all of humanity as well because she is a deluded libtard) to not do these things

>>738760993Hate, I hate to tell you this but the believes and memory of people isn't the reason why nukes aren't flying.The best case you could make is that Wizards could just brainwash muggles into blowing up themselves. Actually ruling over them is a no go even ignoring the fact they are so comedically ignorant of muggle society they would probably think the prime minister of the Uk is actually in charge.
>>738761216No? Like I said, I enjoy her reputation being ruined because she brought it on herself. If she was a hack but fucked off, I could atleast begrudingly respect that.

Actually ruling over them is a no goThey managed to make the entire world not know of them, all of their world (including all the animals) and the parallel reality they live within. If they organized as a race, there would be no stopping them. This is disregarding the looney tunes type shit they can make happen with magic. You can't fight an enemy you're forbidden to know actually exists.>the fact they are so comedically ignorant of muggle society they would probably think the prime minister of the Uk is actually in chargeThis is a valid point, which I already included in my analysis when I suggested the muggle villain. Of course, they're all comically retarded and pacifists to an unrealistic degree, but there's no guarantees, from a muggle standpoint, that they'll remain like that. Grindelwald and Voldemort give more credibility to this; if wizards are to organize, it's over. Which is why total wizard (or at least total magic) death is a morally viable position.
Honestly, the biggest issue with Harry Potter is that it never actually grew up with it's audience. JK Rowling genuinly can't write stories that aren't for little kids. Even her novels aimed at actual children are infantile.
>>738761398No, the two peoples that got so furiously mogged they still seethe about the British to this very day>>738761638It's actually because she tried and she's bad at it, if she kept it infantile it'd be pretty fantastic still
>>738761638>Honestly, the biggest issue with Harry Potter is that it never actually grew up with it's audience.The books and the movies literally grew up with several generations of millennials. Myself included.
>>738761589Also, all this is disregarding the fact that they could just make and use modern warfare tactics if they wanted to lolThey just don't, but there's literally no downside to being a wizard over being a muggle, it's just a superior race comprised exclusively of idiots because they wouldn't be quirky otherwise
>>738761589>It's that shrimple.That's brainwashing, not memory manipulation.>they managed to make the entire world not know of them, all of their world (including all the animals) and the parallel reality they live within.That is the fundamental issue though. Hiding themselves is all they can accomplish. I frequently described Harry Potter as a fight between Team Apathy and Team Stupid. As far as being a shadow dictator who secretly rules over the muggle world goes, they seemingly already basically already have that accomplished. Anything else is entirely pointless and more likely to blow up in their face. Wizards can't rule over muggles because they don't care, don't have a reason to care, and actively take pride in not caring. The evil pureblood families most of all. The only real issue they seem to have is that they can't openly kill muggles for fun and they have to be around them at school. Voldermort seems to have some inspiration for taking over the actual world, but what the fuck that would mean is even more nebulous. Assuming it means literally taking over the world then that is just painting a target on his head. It's not like him, or literally any other Wizard, has some kind of larger aspiration like wanting to make use of of normal human knowledge and manpower towards a new kind of human civilization. And again, the main goal of most pureblood families is mostly just to keep inbreeding. Not allowing muggle born kids into school is, in the long term, significantly worse for them as it means a human civilization could develop that actively knows about and uses magical people. Hogwarts serves the role of brainwashing kids into wizard society as much as it does actually teaching them magic.
>>738761760>The books and the movies literally grew up with several generations of millennialsNo, they didn't. The books made it seem like they were growing up with the audience. But Book 1 is as childish and infantile in both it's themes, writing, and ideas as book 7. The only thing that changed is it's content, which is fundamentally undermined by how it's still a story for babies.
>>738761964>Also, all this is disregarding the fact that they could just make and use modern warfare tactics if they wanted to lolSee >>738762548The problem isn't them being unable to beat them in a fight, it's them being unable to actually take over in any meaningful capacity. Voldermort or whatever charging into the British parliament and declaring himself king is achievable. That actually giving him any kind of administrative, legal, or political power is not. Any power he has would be entirely depended on the barrel of a gun, and there literally aren't enough guns around to actually do that practically.
>>738762548>>738762846>That's brainwashing, not memory manipulationAre you slow? You can brainwash someone if you have any access to their memories. Just cast a hex and make Trump believe he's the reincarnation of Hitler lol>That is the fundamental issue thoughHere's what I wrote in my opening comment:>"the only thing stopping them from dominating or bringing the end of the world is their own stupidity, not even the lack of want"Imagine a thousand people have a "world destruction" button. Just because they never press it doesn't make them less of a threat against the world. Just because in practice they're all retarded, and this is basically JKs fault as a writer and not an inherent characteristic of the wizards, it doesn't mean they couldn't enslave everyone if they wanted.Wanting to pretend that muggles are capable of winning a conflict against wizards is the weirdest larp I've seen today

>Yeah they can completely rewrite your memories and go back in time and force you to do all they want and teleport you to mongolia and make a curse that rapes every muggle around them automatically and make a charm that tps bullets to random indians and>Oh but they'd never use it, so we could realistically win against them haha don't you get it we have GUNS and NUKES haha
>>738762890>You can brainwash someone if you have any access to their memoriesNo? Memory manipulation isn't the same thing as brainwashing.>Just cast a hex and make Trump believe he's the reincarnation of Hitler lolHe most likely already believes that and it isn't changing his behavior.>Imagine a thousand people have a "world destruction" button.I'm not disputing they can destroy the world, I'm disputing that they can do anything other than destroy the world.
>>738763226>He most likely already believes that and it isn't changing his behaviorGod I'm discussing with a fucking retard LOLImagine unironically believing this when Trump is the literal golem of the Jewish community
>>738763298>Imagine unironically believing this when Trump is the literal golem of the Jewish communityI think he's senile and his brain is melting. I'm sure he believes all kind of wacky and stupid shit in private. Doesn't change the fact he's a slut for Isreal because that isn't tied to his memories or even his personality.
>>738762548>The only real issue they seem to have is that they can't openly kill muggles for fun and they have to be around them at school.Muggles=/=Muggleborn
>>738763361yeah yeah I'm sure xhir, your beliefs are valid>>738763409I didn't point that out because I thought I was talking to someone credible but turns out there are retarded lefties everywhere
>>738763409What is their issue with Muggles outside of... uh... not getting to kill them for fun? They just kind of seem to look down on their society but not in any meaningful or ideological way.
>>738693350>try to yell 'FRIGIDUS FACIO" while waving wand around>shot half a dozen times before you're done
>>738763472>your beliefs are validHim being senile is pretty obvious.
>>738763472>I didn't point that outAfter rereading, I should have done the same.
I want a Hogwarts VR game
>>738763736I just want a legal release of the first 3 Harry Potter games for the pc.Best thing the franchise ever produced alongside the GB and GBA rpg's.
>>738763510Not a single wizard hates muggles because they wanted to kill them for fun you retarded faggotThey hate muggles because they're vastly outnumbered and they believe magic to be genetic, which is obviously wrong. This is THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT JK wanted to make, that what makes people act the way they act isn't genetic, because she was writing against 'white supremacy'. Except genetics matter in real life, and them not mattering in Harry Potter undermines the entire story because people who think like JK are stupid and can't write.You're a proper idiot aren't you?>>738763674lol
>>738763620>Him being senile is pretty obvious.Yep, he's being pumped full of leqembi to keep him from sundowning more than he already has been, causes brain leakage which why he's getting so many MRIs. It's delivered intravenously which is why he's got those marks on his hands,
>>738763510The issue is they aren't worshiped by muggles as sorcerer kings. It's not like they actually need muggles for anything in their parallel society, not even slave labor. It's a pure ego trip, and a suicidal one since realistically if they were found out by the world at large it'd go down about as well as the kindred being found out in vampire: the masquerade.
>>738763942Again, it's funny how HP is just Team Apathy vs Team Stupid. There is also a clever idea there, but that would require JK not to be a complete hack.
>>738762681>But Book 1 is as childish and infantile in both it's themes, writing, and ideas as book 7.The tone is different amongst all the books. Murder and even serial murder (or attempted serial murder) is a thing that happens multiple times across the series, even in the "kiddie" ones. What I meant by my statement is that, as the books and movie were released, different generations of millennials grew up with them. I was 10 when the first movie came out, then I was 20 upon the release of the final entry. I grew up with the cast of the films, who were only a couple years or so older than me. My sister was 10 when the first book came out and had graduated high school by the time Deathly Hallows was released. That's all I gotta say. I'm sure you're gonna ignore me and be all like "UM NO THAT'S WRONG CUZ I SAID SO!" So I won't argue further. I have better things to do. Later!
>>738687168Very glad this was the first post
>>738763868>Except genetics matter in real life, and them not mattering in Harry PotterAre you fucking stupid? Magic in Harry Potter is all genetic. Muggleborn students in Harry Potter aren't allowed into Hogwarts because they trained very hard or they learned some kind of secret. They are genetically able to use magic.Recesive genes exist. It's not like the pureblood families are wrong about magic being passed down through a bloodline. If anything their mistake is not applying actual genetics.
>>738764446>even in the "kiddie" ones.All of them are the kiddie ones.The motivation of the villain in the first book genuinly has more maturity to it than anything in book 2-7.>What I meant by my statement is that, as the books and movie were released, different generations of millennials grew up with them. Im aware. My point is they never actually aged up anything. In the same way Pokemon x and y isn't any more or less meanigfully mature than Red and Blue
>>738687451I remember the drinking game about this fic on TvTropes, where users posted how smashed they became trying to do it, and then the jannies deleted it.
>>738711485>They could just enchant objects to act autonomously and they do that and the enchantments can last centuries. They could in theory enchant 10 glocks to fly in the air and head shot any muggle in a mile of themselves.I'm pretty sure Ron's dad would fucking do this in a heartbeat if he ever wanted to know how guns worked.
>>738694553Accio could backfire if the wizard Accioed a primed grenade out of someone's hand and it explodes when the wizard grabs it.
You are a muggle.You receive an artifact with the power to destroy magic itself, so now you can turn every wizard into a muggle immediately.Now imagine the reverse, you're a wizard. You catch news of a muggle that can destroy your entire world.What do you do in each scenario?

Still pissed that Harry destroyed the Elder Wand, instead of using such a legendary wand to cure everybody currently stuck at St Mungo's hospital like Neville's parents.
Could a muggle make a potion?
>>738692742aDEHDEH DEHDEHvDEH
>>738765031Pretty sure many wizards end up marrying muggles and have muggle's lives. Like Cho who marries a muggle medic. Now, actually getting rich? Probably some do that and stop giving a shit about everything
>>738765153Dumbledore did jack shit with the Elder Wand for like 50 years, and one of the main character dilemas Harry and Dumbledore have to deal with is that they aren't as good as they want to be, specially Dumbledore. Breaking the Elder Wand ASAP is the best a wizard like Harry could do, and probably one of the few things that Rowling did well with his character.
Why he get a free pass on the instakill spell?

No one likes racewashing in a time of race awakening.Furthermore, blackwashing is more offensive then troons as race traitorism is a more severe crime then being a mentally ill bioweapon.
>>738703930He never knew Tom would become evil, though he was suspicious he wasnt a good person.Nor he knew the true extend of his dark powers until it was too late and it literally ate him alive when he discovered the horcruxLook, i'm not defending he wasnt a gay faggot that made awful decisions, but he never was 100% aware of everything the prophecy told him.I'm sure he was afraid Harry would join Tom instead considering he was fused with his soul
>>738761320What reputation did she ruin? Her being a retarded feminist who aligned with Blairite liberalism? That was already ruined when she ruined Harry Potter with that retarded le kkk/nazi expy with Voldemort and the death eaters and how it doesn't make any sense in the context of the world.Do you mean when she did that stupid Harry Potter cursed child thing with brown hermione? Must not be, because you think her reputation contingent on a bunch of seething leftists progressives. Clearly, you are angry because JK rowling was too much of a consistent feminists and she hates troon. Sorry to tell you this, but leftists don't ruin someone reputation, the jewish media does. No one likes troons or cares much about it when it comes to a popular franchise. This is why the troon boycott on Harry Potter Legacy failed.And since JK Rowling sided with Israel, she's a goy that won't be thrown under the bus...yet.
