Harry Potter never really made sense to me conceptually. It takes place in the 21st century, and the most dangerous person in the entire world’s most powerful spell is a fancy lighting bolt.
What’s so complicated. Just get an MQ-9 on station and kill him with a hellfire.

Too bad that Voldemort's whole deal was loudly and publicly walking around as the Lord of Evil
There’s a mutual non interference pact (that makes no sense).
God i can’t believe i just typed that sentence
Also Thanos' ship would have shot anything out of the sky
Now, why T'Challa doesn't have an airforce to do strafing runs on all those monsters outside their forcefields in Infinity War...
We *know* they have advanced ships
Including presumably a ton of military people causing *CONFUSION*
endgame, thanos took them completely by surprise

I felt the same way about Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Sorry I don’t even like the world really, but it was pretty consistent on how ineffective the non-magical are against magic, in that setting
This is basically a medium sized town going off the deep end which is a lot less weird than a nation-state.

I know. Just get physical with those nerds.
She's just an unoriginal bigot.
Different fantasy universe but same diff
"Yeah and this is a DOUBLE barrel shotgun, I fail to see the problem."
- Why are there poor wizards? The magic in the book should be enough to create material abundance for everyone.
- Why are there are no math classes at Hogwarts? I get not teaching science (naturalistic science is wrong), but you need math even if you have magic.
So poverty according to JK Rowling is due to individual dumb decisions
She's the housewife mom character so of course that's the thing she has to do herself
- None-magical teaching is down to parents to organise before attending Hogwarts, I think.
2) There are, they're not mandatory. Also, wizards are bad at almost everything.
Every Harry Potter wizard has an infinite wealth glitch, some choose to not use it for reasons.
plus something about magic fucking up microchips or something. same reason snake can’t use the guards’ guns in MGS.
(also, the story takes place in 1992)

how do you not immediately get shot with a good old fashioned gun and die?
Old Soldiers Never Die did it better.
(Retired Squibs with SMLEs and Stens >>> Idiot Wizard Nazis)
(She basically conceded this point a couple years before she got kissed by a Dementor, presumably because she was tired of hearing about it)
See, the reason is *pulls up Pottermore* the government is full of men pretending to be women. Huh.
CENTCOM would be toast.
Everyone in that campaign is great, but holy shit, Aabria rocks
Yes, you just described a hand gun with extra steps.
So basically, the anime Gate.
Coincidentally, not long after that, I read my first Tom Clancy novel.
Some kind of ideology is going on here.
Yeah but most spells are lethal if used with enough gumption and flagrant disregard for safety.
It’s why an 11 year old girl solves a straightforward logic puzzle that’s supposed to be guarding a supremely powerful magical artifact that makes you immortal.
Keep in mind also that the entire wizard world is like a few thousand people, nobody in the muggle world probably cares what they’re doing
Also, would those wards protect them from a bomb that goes off 500m away
Even *all* kids in elementary school have those gun-like sticks and also all schoolchildren take part in the final battle against Voldemort!
Now, Harry Potter & the Houthi Insurgency - THERE'S a story...
And to Rowling's credit Voldemort in power does mostly leave the muggles alone and instead goes after....anyone who would take their side in a larger conflict.
An example (acting is admittedly mid, but I found it engaging towards the middle anyway): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOxarwd3eTs

Anyhow, hope you might enjoy :) !
More importantly, Avada Kerdava is literally antilife. It (almost without exception) cannot be blocked and kills instantly. Any muggle weapondry can be blocked effortlessly by magical shielding.
Fire seems to work *just fine* in Hogwarts
Oh, and "knock," but that one seldom worked...
It seems like only the PM knows about the wizarding world
Altho in the book the rationale is that the muggles would kill all the wizards
The only good reason is extratextual: JKR didn't want to do much world-building.
34 were paralyzed in London today as an Immobulus spell was cast in Paddington Station. The culprit has been identified as Aidan Lynch, a mage with connections to a Time of Requirement terror cell.
SHUT UP AND FIRE THE JAVELIN, RAMOS!
EUCOM says "wut?" & "wizard HQ is in Europe so we should be the Supported COCOM."
INDOPACOM cries to daddy SECDEF about insufficient resource allocations.
he knew, but he also did not know what he forgot
to do an Oceans 11 and still a lot of money or secrets
In the wise words of a warrior poet, “They shot down a predator and it filled my heart with glee.”
Voldemort can teleport, turn invisible, and come back from the dead. Put your missile on that platform. He uses the killing cure because pointing at people and they die is convenient, it's not his limit.
Even Pettigrew could blow up a street.
