You know what would lead to world peace among human kind? Knowledge of wizards becoming widely known because humanity would finally have a common enemy.
You think you're better than me you wizard frick? How about after I cut off your head at the guillotine
Canonically the government already knows about wizards. In the books the Ministry of Magic talks with the government
Makes no sense. You're telling me humans wouldn't try exterminating wizards? My fricking ass they're a HUGE national security threat and virtually destroy the idea of sovereignty. Poor world building
How would you even go about it? They can literally stop bullets. They can morph nukes into confetti. Never gonna work
>They can literally stop bullets. They can morph nukes into confetti. Never gonna work
Proof? I don't think they can stop a .50cal bullet fired from a sniper they can't see. I'd just get all the information of who is a wizard and either assassinate them or literally do a magic holocaust. Take away all wands, round them into gas chambers, the works
Anything more technologically advanced than a pair of fricking spectacles doesn't even work in Hogwarts, you think they have trouble with some Navy SEAL copypasta?
Wizards can still use magic anon without wands

Good luck for them turn a procectile going at mach 15 from space into confetti lmao. Wizardcucks are so fricking moronic.
Nice mugglecope. Wizards have literal time travel, you would need AT THE VERY LEAST relativistic weapons to deal with them

I accept your concession. Wizards literally jobbed to 15th century peasants LMAO.
Sorry you're too stupid to understand what a relativistic weapon is, doesn't surprise me though since you're simping for fricking muggles

Absolute lmao. These frickers can't even react to fricking spells thrown at them. Not going to do shit against a bullet flying towards their head

Literally doesn't exist in canon and seeing as fricking blunt weapons kills people left and right in the final book, lmao.
Lol when you say bullet I hope you mean thrown with a fricking sling because a gun certanly doesn't work in Hogwarts, which is 100% canon. Cope harder
> a gun certanly doesn't work in Hogwarts, which is 100% canon
Literally no proof. Otherwise post it.

Can magic stop me slitting a wizard's throat in his sleep?
No. That's literally what happens to the first Peverell brother. It's how he loses the Elder Wand
Probably. I mean, you could still do it to a shitty wizard, but I have to imagine they have something like magical burglar alarms.
They can just cast a charm on their bedroom that will make you go "huh, why did I walk over here where there's nothing?" and then wander off in a random direction.
>They can just cast a charm on their bedroom that will make you go "huh, why did I walk over here where there's nothing?" and then wander off in a random direction.

>a gun certanly doesn't work in Hogwarts
A gun would work. It's really only an issue for electronics. Colin Creevey has his muggle camera in the second book and it works just fine. Analog tech seems not to be effected
>>inb4 b-but passive magic shielderino
You can't inb4 something that actually answers the question. There are different kinds of magical barriers. Presumably Protego Maxima would withstand bullets. You can't move through it unless you break it with a stronger spell. Voldemort tries and almost breaks the elder wand doing so.
I would also like to take this moment to point out that, despite Harry snapping the elder wand over his knee being moronic, they did show Voldemort cracking it a bunch of times. People always like to say the filmmakers didn't realize how stupid it was that Dumbledore went through all this trouble trying to dispose of the elder wand once and for all but never thought to just break it on his knee. But they clearly realized this and put it in the movie for that reason. You're all stupid, nerds.
>Protego Maxima
Black person you woulf be dead before you would be able to cast. Fricking christ I thought you were just baiting but being genuinely this much of a subhuman moron?
Rowling is a hack, that is what it boils down to. Absolutely NOTHING shows the wizards being able to stop modern weaponry. Literally limited by their human reaction speeds.
Why did Vernon and his friends not attack Hogwarts with flame throwers and hand pistols? He just let his nephew's spirit be doomed in the afterlife when the freaks taught him dark magic!
>Fricking christ I thought you were just baiting but being genuinely this much of a subhuman moron?
No, you just have no idea what you're talking about. It's kind of embarrassing. Anyway, Protego Maxima is not the instant bubble-up shield you use to deflect an oncoming spell. It's a perimeter defense that, ideally, is cast before the fight ever starts. It looks like this.
?t=146
>yeah bro, it would totally work. Let's ignore projectile weapons that will start flying hours before they even get close to the school!
So what are you? Underage? Woman? Auristic?
Why wouldn't it? The defenses are already in place. They literally don't need to do anything. The above scene was in response to Voldemort specifically because he knows Hogwarts' defenses and can easily counter them.
You know what also easily counters them? Modern weaponry kek.
I just see an autist pulling shit out off his ass instead of accepting the inconsistencies.
>Modern weaponry kek.
Black person, how are you gonna blow something up if you don't know where it is or what you were even supposed to be doing five minutes ago because magic clouded your inferior apelike muggle brain?

My brother in Christ I don't think he's made of gold but I see only one person in this thread being extremely agitated at the idea of not being able to shoot magical wizards with his gun.
>There are different kinds of magical barriers
And that's some pretty basic b***h defensive magic, too. There's more complicated methods of concealment. They can literally sandwich an apartment between two other apartments and put a whole ass desert inside a suitcase. And that's not to mention the enchantments that make you forget what you're doing when you get too close to something they don't want you to see. People usually focus on simple shit like what would happen if you rolled a tank up to the perimeter of Hogwarts, but there are ways of ensuring you don't even get that far.
>perimeter of Hogwarts, but there are ways of ensuring you don't even get that far.
Muggles can't even see Hogwarts. I don't know why everyone forgets this.
Except for Jacob Kowalski for some reason. He literally walks around and has lunch with students because, strangely, JK Rowling has never read Harry Potter

Oh boy, time to grow up little guy
If you mean the witch burnings, (Which almost never happened, massively overstated in media) in the Harry Potter world, they were pranking the people burning them. Pretending that the fire hurts then teleporting away.
Get dabbed on normies.
Which is bizarre. Rowling likes to have it both ways. The Hogwarts founders hid the school because muggles were killing everybody, but then she also can't stop herself from inserting this weird, cutesy plot point in the story for no reason which completely undermines her previous plot point
To be fair, the Salem witch trials were hundreds of years after Hogwarts was founded. I think the idea is that once the international statute of secrecy was implemented, witches had more leeway to frick around. And it would be beneficial to real witches and wizards to stage a bunch of phony witch trials to make it look like people who believe in witchcraft are backwards rubes that the rest of society laughs at.
It's hidden because it's annoying to keep dealing with people or moving away. Something doesn't have to be a threat to you for you to want to be away from them.
>Something doesn't have to be a threat to you for you to want to be away from them.
Perhaps, but the canonical explanation for why the statute of secrecy is implemented is because muggles were a threat to wizards. I'd be perfectly happy to go with your explanation, but that's not the one she wrote.
A properly prepared wizarding society would probably be unstoppable, but a big deal is made in the books that wizards just can't be bothered to care about the workings of muggle society, including the pureblood supremacists. Mr. Weasley, who is the resident muggle autist, didn't even know how to describe a gun except as a "metal wand". They wouldn't know shit about muggle strategies or weapons and would be caught unaware.
Basically a sniper would have done short work of Voldemort and any other uppity wizards.
Once again, you gays never read the book. It's just the Prime Minister who is made aware (and he's kept in the dark most of the time) and the wizards count on said Prime Minister being savy enough to not suddenly sperg about wizards and moving paintings and get laughed out of office
All of Harry Potter is terrible world building. It's a fricking children's book. JK Rowling is a female normie, she doesn't have the GRRM/ Tolkien level of autism to construct a functioning universe. I'm sure if her editor ever asked her- "why are there poor wizards when they can conjure gold out of thin air?" she said "who gives a frick, it's a book for 7 year olds."
there are two little books she wrote about quidditch and monsters that are canon and are pretty good, connecting some real life events to the wizard world, she's better than average at world building. but yeah, that plot hole from the first book was awful. specially because she was even clueless about being a faux pas to have a main character who is rich
>she's better than average at world building.
l m a o, compared to who? Fanfic writers? Other YA fiction writers routinely come up with better world building, without relying on the crutch of making most of it just real life.
>"why are there poor wizards when they can conjure gold out of thin air?"
I remember Lupin is immediately described as wearing really worn clothes and having an old suitcase etc, showing how he's clearly poor and nearly destitute. Even though Hermione knew how to use a repair spell before she's even set foot in Hogwarts. Why the frick wasn't Lupin just repairing his clothes? It's even weirder because there are plenty of mentions of wizards having cloaks and stuff that's been in the family for a hundred years, so clearly they DO repair them. Why not just have Malfoy show off how much money he has by showing up in the newest wizard fashion from France every school year, while Ron has to make do with clothes that were fashionable a hundred years ago, immediately marking him as a poorgay with hand-me-downs that might look new but clearly are old.
they should have had rich wizards wearing actual wizard clothing and poor wizards forced to wear muggle clothes. gold should have been replaced by a made up fantasy metal and have it be valuable due to being unable to be conjured or transmuted. and gold creation should have been strictly regulated as part of the deal between wizard and muggle governments. i dont even read this shit, it took me 5 seconds to come up with.
>Why not just have Malfoy show off how much money he has by showing up in the newest wizard fashion from France every school year, while Ron has to make do with clothes that were fashionable a hundred years ago, immediately marking him as a poorgay with hand-me-downs that might look new but clearly are old.
That would've been neat and also would've given squibs a purpose. All of the world's greatest tailors and fashion designers could be non-magic users that are still connected to the wizard world.
There's already a tailor in diagonalley though, she uses magic to cut clothes while you're in them if I remember the scene right. Squibs would not be able to compete since they'd have to do things by hand.
> Why not just have Malfoy show off how much money he has by showing up in the newest wizard fashion from France every school year
Because it would make the blond kid seem even more like a poof
JK should have made him trans like all the other Death Eaters.
She petty so I can imagine her retroactively making her magical fascist party trans now that the buttholes are bullying her
She still likes gayboys and wants them to be her gay bff, so she would use the narrative to punish Ron if he ever called another kid a homosexual
>Ron calls Draco a homosexual
>Draco calls Ron a subhuman
would've made for some good back and forth
>>Ron calls Draco a homosexual
calls Ron a subhuman
Which is more in the wrong here?
depends on how wealthy you are as the reader
Ron is a ginger, so draco wins by default
>"why are there poor wizards when they can conjure gold out of thin air?"
They can't. But the question of why there are poor wizards when the playing field is so massively leveled by the existence of magic is still valid. I think the problem with Rowling is that, despite her insistence on having began with the ending in mind, she seemed to be writing a much different book when she first started, and I'm not exactly sure I can even pinpoint the precise moment when it changed. The first book is very Roald Dahl. It's whimsical and non-pretentious in a way that makes asking questions seem stupid. Nobody spends hours online discussing how Willy Wonka's chocolate factory is impractical. Nobody cares why the Trunchbull is so comically evil. You can just accept it and move on with your life because it's not meant to be grounded. Harry Potter very much started out that way. The Dursleys in particular feel like Dahl stock characters. Then you have Dumbledore's speech being like "Boobit, floop, dangle" or whatever. And the rules of the universe were made up on the fly, but somewhere later in the process she decided to make it more in line with actual fantasy and it led to a lot of weird redundancies and shit that just doesn't make sense. The living portraits are a good example of what I'm talking about. In the first book it's just a weird cutsey thing and you don't really question how fricking objectively horrifying it is that these people have sentient paintings who live forever as perfect reconstructions of their subjects who have the capacity to answer questions and think like the person themself. There's a real-ass Dumbledore living in a portrait who can accurately answer Harry's questions about shit that only Dumbledore knows about. For all intents and purposes it is the real Dumbledore. And he must exist forever in a painting and sit around looking fancy whenever people walk by. It's fricking horrific
>"why are there poor wizards when they can conjure gold out of thin air?"
Only the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone can alchemically conjure gold and there's only one in existence which was destroyed by the end of its titular book. I always assumed that even with the Stone it took a great deal of work and resources to transmute gold with small returns. (Like the Wizard equivalent of creating fusion or antimatter. Scientists have been able to achieve it, but with astronomical work and resources to create small amounts)
>Why the frick wasn't Lupin just repairing his clothes?
I assumed he stopped caring since it happens so often. Like a depressed divorcee with shaving and hygiene. Or how Dr. Manhattan walks around naked with a small penis even though he can instantly create and put on clothes and increase his penis length and girth because he stopped caring about that long ago since he's so detatched.
>GRRM

>he thinks the glowies are muggles
>why don’t monkeys just exterminate humans??!
Kinda the same problem, it’s just not in the cards.
Monkeys don't have snipers and assassins
>John Major nationalised rail to force the wizards' hands
>they still didn't give us flying cars or Floo Network access
>John Major
Naming the date was the first of Rowling's bullshit retcons.
>She wrote that Dudley owned a Playstation 1 in book 2 which is set years before it was released IN JAPAN. And a year before Sony even ANNOUNCED the console after their partnership with Nintendo fell apart.
>The Dursleys also had the internet with vague descriptions of browsers and streaming video in 1992.
>When Cornelius Fudge met with "the Muggle Minister" it's mentioned that the British PM's predecessor was a man. According to Rowling's date John Major would be the Prime Minister and his predecessor was Margaret Thatcher. Even the pictures used in many editions of the book draw the Prime Minister as looking like Tony Blair.
>Rowling was given authority to approve and veto every casting and even made some suggestions such as Alan Rickman. When Alan Rickman would be 10-20 years older than Snape who would be in his early 30s according to the new dates. To say nothing of the rest of the cast and characters, notably Lupin and Sirius.
Harry Potter being set during the early to late 90's makes no sense. It was a late stage retcon J.K. Rowling pulled out of her ass to make it meaningful that the last book was set during the same year the first book was published.
It paved the way for wizards pooping everywhere and Hermione supposedly never having been white.
i thought he just had 'a computer' and played 'computer games'
i know i'll ruffle a few feathers here but we did call PlayStations 'computers' and the games 'computer games' (like a ZX Spectrum or whatever) before the gradual shift to 'video games' and 'consoles'
not him and I haven't watched any of the content he talks about but I distinctly remember it saying he threw his "PlayStation" out of the window. I don't remember much of these books but I remember that part.
>films seem timeless enough
>(no muggles with laptops or anything)
>gets to the final one
>they're running around 2010s London
>It paved the way for wizards pooping everywhere
That's the most reasonable retcon she's pulled out of her ass, though. She was talking about the times when nobles in real life would shit in a chamber pot and have a servant carry it outside to the dungheap or latrine. Wizards did the same shit except they magicked it away instead, making them way cleaner. Then indoor plumbing finally became a widespread thing and Hogwarts immediately built toilets, because it's easier to have toilets than employing a janitor whose job it is to magick away the shit of all the first-years who haven't mastered the spell yet and so keep sending the shit to the Great Hall or making it explode.
Fair enough. Honestly I thought the internet outrage over wizards pooping anywhere and apparating it away was overblown. And that it was actually a logical and humorous lore tidbit.
I wrote this in a concurrent thread:
>PICREL IS THE SUPERIOR VOLDEMORT
>Ralph Fienne's Voldemort just comes off as an immature and overconfident douchebag. I can easily picture Fienne's Voldy wasting his time on /misc/ posting endlessly about mudblood crime rates, OWL scores, and Hogwarts affirmative action. Or on Cinemaphile seething that wizard roles are played by muggles. Or seriously seething that Dumbledore is otherkinphobic for deadnaming him and not accepting his identity as a snake.
The original face and voice gave off the impression of a Dark Lord so scary that people won't mention his name.
Forgot pic.
When you vanish away the poop, where does it go?
McGonagall explains this to the Ravenclaw door knocker, actually. Her exact answer is that when something is vanished, it is nowhere. Which is to say, everywhere. The poop goes everywhere.
She wasn't talking about poop specifically, but this is accurate
Ireland.

Only one company makes Floo Powder and its ingredients and formula is a closely guarded secret.
I really wish she was more clear on this. Is she saying they shit their pants or that they shidded on the ground? Also, were they like babies and just start pooping at random? Was there a polite way to do it? How did wizard children vanish away the evidence if they can't use magic yet?
That pic doesn't even make any sense. The chamber of secrets was built in to the school when it was created and its entrance is in a bathroom. How could the school not always have bathrooms? It was specifically designed to use the school's plumbing.
>The chamber of secrets was built in to the school when it was created and its entrance is in a bathroom.
When was that revealed?
We know that
>Hogwarts was founded between the 9th and 10th Century
>Salazar Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets
>Hogwarts has seen many renovations throughout the millenium.
>Due to magic Hogwarts has impossible architecture (such as rooms not fitting into the dimensions that can be measured from the outside ala Tardis, rooms such as the Room of Requirement popping up in different places, and the Castle constantly changing and growing on its own)
The Chamber of Secrets and it's entrance could have changed due to magic and renovations. Or an Heir of Slytherin may personally altered it. Pipes predate flush toilets and have existed since ancient times. So the modern bathroom fixtures may have connected themselves to preexisting ancient plumbing.

It's in The Half-Blood Prince
Post page
Whatever the press and the opposition might say, the Prime Minister was not a foolish man. It had not escaped his notice that, despite Fudge's assurances at their first meeting, they were now seeing rather a lot of each other, nor that Fudge was becoming more flustered with each visit. Little though he liked to think about the Minister of Magic (or, as he always called Fudge in his head, the Other Minister), the Prime Minister could not help but fear that the next time Fudge appeared it would be with graver news still. The site, therefore, of Fudge stepping out of the fire once more, looking dishevelled and fretful and sternly surprised that the Prime Minister did not know exactly why he was there, was about the worst thing that had happened in the course of this extremely gloomy week.
'How should I know what's going on in the -- er -- Wizarding community?' snapped the Prime Minister now. 'I have a country to run and quite enough concerns at the moment without --'
'We have the same concerns,' Fudge interrupted. 'The Brock-dale Bridge didn't wear out. That wasn't really a hurricane. Those murders were not the work of Muggles. And Herbert Chorley's family would be safer without him. We are currently making arrangements to have him transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. The move should be effected tonight.'
'What do you ... I'm afraid I ... What?' blustered the Prime Minister.
Fudge took a great, deep breath and said, 'Prime Minister, I am very sorry to have to tell you that he's back. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back.'
'Back? When you say 'back'... he's alive? I mean --'
The Prime Minister groped in his memory for the details of that horrible conversation of three years previously, when Fudge had told him about the wizard who was feared above all others, the wizard who had committed a thousand terrible crimes before his mysterious disappearance fifteen years earlier.

No surprise, the wizard community is a total surveillance state
Then on your first day in office a little man magically appears and reveals that there's a secret society of people with godlike powers who can play with you like you're a puppet on strings
This is canonically why the wizards hide. Memories of witch hunts and witch burnings (that mainly affected kids wizards too young to know the proper spell) are still vivid

What stops a squib from becoming pic-related and using kidnapped kids from Hogwarts to create a crime ring
There's no israeli wizards or squibs, just goblins.
Tina and Queenie Goldstein from Fantastic Beasts are israeli, and they're also related to a kid that goes to Hogwarts during Harry's time. His first name escapes me.
Antony Goldstein
Why does Anthony Goldstein exist? I spoke to a rabbi who hates JK and he thinks its awful; the Old Testament literally says you would need to kill the kid. It's incompatible with israeli faith to send a israeli kid to Hogwarts
Speaking why only israeli kids? Isn't the a christian, catholic, protestan, Muslim kids in Harry Potter ?
Yeah, but Judaism in particular has a strong anti-sorcery code built in. But to be fair, that's really just ancient babble for "only our wizards are good". People in the Old Testament perform magical feats all the time, it's just that they're calling on the "correct" spiritual powers.
Knowing JK Rowling she will make one of the founders of Hogwarts israeli. It can't be Gryffindor or Hufflepuff
Salazar was only lashing out because of antisemitism directed his way by Godric
Ravenclaw lady is going to be israeli isn't she?
No she's Scottish. They're also inbred misers but all in all kind of different.
Then who can fit as israeli cause you know they will make one of them israeli
She will fine some bullshit excuse you know that anon
>Slytherin is israeli
NGL that would be kinda based if JK does that.
Israel apparently loves Draco and the Slytherins because its socially acceptable to believe in blood purity in the region
Idk if Rowling thought this through
Good taste israel then
It's kind of funny because I think he was an allegorical Hitler youth, but Israelis love blonds and care about blood purity just like he does.
Yeah, why did no religious muggleborn parents ever say "my kid ain't learning no voodoo?"
Keep in mind earlier it was implied that the Malfoys and other pureblood families were ancestor worshipers and followed some alternative pro-magic religion and Rowling forgets the subplot early on
I'm sure a lot of them did. We just don't hear about it. But Fantastic Beasts expands a lot on what happens when I magical child is forced to suppress their innate magical abilities. Long story short, it kills them and sometimes wipes out entire city blocks.
But you raise an interesting point. Apart from the Dursley's half assed attempts, we don't really hear about what would happen if a more competent family refused to send their kid to wizard school. And with Harry there was obviously a lot of urgency because he was important, but what would happen if it was just some butthole in the US in some insignificant time in history? Would they come after them? I honestly don't know.
And it really has to be a burger mudblood. Bongs are too timid to ruffle feathers. But what if one of the Westboro Baptist kids was born a wizard? Or the fat redneck guy who shot his neighbor over a garbage can dispute from the memes? Honestly it probably wouldn't be worth the effort
The israelites will just blame it on Arav Rav superstition that evil wizards reincarnate among israelites every few decades and need to be killed
But they were cute as kids
Adding to this, I'd petition to also enslave/kill all giants and centaurs and anything else sentient. Two intelligent species can't co-exist on this planet. One intelligent species can't do it alone to begin with, and we don't need giants taking our resources or centaurs raping our women when we're perfectly capable of doing both ourselves
>cast a spell on your wife to mind control her before ass fricking her in front of your tiny hairy body
That spell is illegal.
Until they pass a law that it isn't. I'm not settling for the security of laws I have no say in their passing or enforcement. I refuse to live in peace only on the supposed grace of an other with superior firepower. I will not give up without a fight and I will KILL ALL WIZARDS I SEE

>implying i wouldn't do literally anything you asked
Or chloroform you and hand you over to muggle scientists to vivisect and study your magic organs.
so the catholics were right during the middle ages after all?
>Knowledge of wizards becoming widely known
It really makes no sense that it isn't widely known. Rowling plays both sides of the coin and just kind of hopes the 35 year old men with beards who read her books won't notice. On one hand the wizards had to go into hiding because we were killing them all off. But then she also simultaneously wants you to buy that the the leaders of the wizarding world and the leaders of the muggle world are in contact with one another and the muggle leaders are scared into silence, either because they fear magic or they fear being labelled crazy for saying some funny looking man came out of the fire place and started talking about magic. Neither option really makes sense. The second the global superpowers learned of this power and community they would immediately seek to either eradicate the threat or exploit it. Do you realize how useful a legillimens would be to the KGB or CIA? And we'd also try to study and replicate it. There ain't no such thing as magic. It's only science we don't yet understand. But we would be dissecting wizards left and right to figure out how it works and replicate it.
But what's more preposterous is that there are tons and tons of families throughout the world who spontaneously produce magical children who are then pulled from the school system and sent to wizard school, and yet nobody talks about it. If my sibling was a wizard and I wasn't I'd be so fricking pissed. I'd tell everyone out of spite. I would find a way. Frick those stupid wizard shits. I hate them. I hate them so goddamn much

Only when Voldemort's afoot. Honestly, I knew more kids that died from middle school to my senior year of high school than died at Hogwarts in Harry's entire time there. Excluding the last book, but that was wartime so I feel like it's unfair to count it.
>Honestly, I knew more kids that died from middle school to my senior year of high school than died at Hogwarts
In what third world shithole do you live in kek?
Florida. But my point is that there was one Hogwarts fatality in the six years Harry was there when it was not an active warzone. And Cedric was killed by Moldyvoort. Also, all of the real danger tends to be related to Voldemort as well. And the last student who actually died at Hogwarts prior to Cedric was Moaning Myrtle, and she was also killed by Voldemort's shenanigans. Hogwarts would be a relatively safe place if not for this one butthole.
The death toll in Harry Potter doesn't really pick up until Deathly Hallows, and all of the students who died did so because they chose to stay and fight. Honestly, way
> Florida
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA never change

OP in Star Trek they let entire planets die out and shit
in fact this comes from a setting called "real life", are you new to fantasy fiction or something?
kill wizards, behead wizards, roundhouse kick wizards into the concrete, slam dunk a wizard baby into the trash can, crucify filthy wizards, defecate into wizards food, launch wizards into the sun, stir fry wizards in a wok, toss wizards into active volcanoes, urinate into wizards gas tank, Judo throw wizards into a wood chipper, twist wizards heads off, report wizards to the IRS, karate chop wizards in half, curb stomp pregnant wizards, trap wizards in quicksand, Crush wizards in the trash compactor, liquify wizards in a vat of acid, eat wizards, dissect wizards, exterminate wizards in the gas chamber, stomp wizards skulls with steel-toed boots, cremate wizards in the oven, lobotomized wizards, mandatory abortions for wizards, grind wizards fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown wizards in fried chicken grease, vaporize wizards with a raygun, kick old wizards down the stairs, feed wizards to alligators, slice wizards with a katana

Yes
In real life the wizards were deeply connected to the process that resulted in the third reich, it was a product of many rituals. The fantasy version likely whitewashes their involvement.
Anon wizards aren't real
>In real life
>the wizards
>"Step forward, my dear!" Dumbledore said to the girl, smiling warmly. Padma Patil approached cautiously, her fellow first years watching with interest.
>Stooping over to bring his face close to hers, Dumbledore asked, "From where are you joining us, young lady?"
>"India!" Padma replied. She had hardly uttered the last syllable before Dumbledore seized the girl by her collar and, with superhuman strength, shoved her into the wall. Such was his force that a spatter of bright red blood was left upon the rough hewn stone where Padma had impacted it, before falling into a heap upon the floor, utterly motionless. The great hall fell silent.
>"We are well rid of such filth," Dumbledore said calmly, the warmth now gone from his voice. "Now, next!"
>Parvati Patil stepped past her twin sister's corpse, struggling to contain her sobs. Nervously, she approached the Headmaster.
>"And where is it that you're from, my dusky dear?" Dumbledore asked.
>"P-Pakistan...?"
>"Pakistan?" Dumbledore turned to the assembled students. "Pakistan!" he said mirthfully, beaming. A nervous laughter of relief rippled through the crowd.
>And then, in a blindingly quick motion, Dumbledore seized the girl's head forcefully and brought it in close to his. Partvati's body writhed and thrashed violently for a moment as Dumbledore applied the Dementor's Kiss, filling the last few moments of the girl's life with raw agony before she crumpled beside her sister.
>Straightening himself, Dumbledore turned back to the students and let out a long, satisfied sigh. "Pakistan," he said, "is India."
They helped to dispose those 6 million corpses.
Is the PM of England the only government official who knows about magic? What about the American president? What about the Russian PM or Chinese?
Presumably all of them should have some form of liaison. They all have wizarding counterparts. Although Fantastic Beasts made it out like America was much more hardcore about all of it, so maybe they just hide.
Pre-emptively nuke everywhere "magical" like rural Britain and Transylvania.
Another moronic thing is why do Wizards refuse to use muggle stuff? Like some shit might come in handy. Instead of sending them a fricking magic just call them in a cell phone
Technology supposedly short circuits around magic. Never mind how the Durslys never had any problem with phones or radios or televisions when Harry was around.
Is that how it is explained in the books ?
I’m not sure if its in the books or JKR said after the fact, but that’s the canon explanation.
That's just moronic
That's gay
Yeah, it's explained in Goblet of Fire. And it's not that the presence of magic in and of itself trips up technology all the time, but Hogwarts itself has so many enchantments that it causes it. I don't think your tv would blow up if you did but a single magic close by. But Harry does cause various problems without meaning to during his childhood when he's frightened or angry.
>Yeah, it's explained in Goblet of Fire
It's when Harry suggests that maybe Rita Skeeter had Hogwarts bugged and was listening in on everyone's private conversations. Then it turns out that she was an actual bug. A beetle, in fact. Unregistered animagus. It's not relevant, but I just wanted to show you guys that I knew that.
Arcanum rules then? I'm ok with that.
Examples of said useful things?
>Yes it’s obviously a trap and you might die Harry but you HAVE to compete in the tournament harry because… just because ok??
Was this massive plot hole ever explained? If not Im with anon above wizards are morons and would be genocided immediately irl
One simply can not reject the almighty Goblet of fiya
the goblet of fire represented a binding magical contract chud
>Someone can be made a party to a contract against their will
Do wizards even understand basic english contract law??
Harry didn't sign that contract. In theory anyone could write anyone's name and just force them to be bound by contract? That is some bullshit, if i were Harry i would destroy the Goblet with the basilisk fang the moment they said i am obligated to compete.
Why are you guys trying to find logic in a book written by a woman

if you didn't play the game boy color games you're a fricking troony seriously, they're actually quite good for final fantasy clones
would bullets even work against Dementors?
A lot of these questions would be answered if people understood that the wizarding world is like 10,000 people, across the entire planet.
Then the question of why outbreeding is bad is more pressin
Why don't wizards just carry around a gun? Spells are slow as shit to cast even non verbally.
Who knows
Wizard lives don't matter
The second Fantastic Beasts movie is literally about stopping Gridenwald from stopping WWII.
So Dumbledore really did hate israeli people? Did we meme it into existence
It's one of the strangest plot points I have ever seen in a Hollywood movie. I can't believe she wrote it and I wish more people saw this movie because it is fascinating and I like talking about it.
I would generally not be able to live knowing wizards exist.
I would be too mad.
Keeping secret is smart.
I'd have a purpose in life if I knew and wasn't a wizard - eliminate ALL wizards. I'd petition for society to implement Spartan-like appraisals of babies and if any were found to be in any way magical they'd get tossed off a fricking cliff into a volcano
why would anyone join voldmort when he displayed no loyalty? theres absolute zero advantages for you, even the whole "not dying" was not certain because he could just wake up in a bad mood. if the bad guys were at least together, worked in group, they would easily defeat the mudblood parasites.
He was a terrorist cult leader and an extremely powerful wizard in a society where your magical talent almost directly determines your worth.
If JK Rowling was a good writer, and not some hack b***h who got lucky, she would have expanded the setting and had it so that WW1 and 2 were just cover-ups for the muggles, and really that was how intense and extreme Grindleywald and Voldeymort's respective reigns of terror were.
Voldemort's not old enough to be responsible for the World Wars. Grindelwald probably was meant to have a hand in some capacity with WWII, but it looks like the Fantastic Beasts franchise is dead so they didn't really address it adequately. But he uses the threat of it to his advantage. Whether or not he also stoked certain fires or was just being opportunistic and using his abilities as a seer is unknowable now.
Wizards live longer. Should have just made the timelines line up.
How do wizards live longer ?
Magic?
Rowling originally said Dumbledore was 150 back before she finished the books, but she dialed it back and now he died at 115-116. But obviously Dumbledore is an exceptional person and whether or not all wizards live to prodigious lengths I don't really know. It's hard to say because we don't really see anybody die of old age in the books. Even Dumbledore could have had another forty or fifty years left in him for all we know.
How do you think they burned all those israelites? Why do you think there is no German school of magic?
>Wizards don't use their magic to cure humanity of diseases, eliminate resource shortages, and broker peace between peoples using their at times godlike powers
No wizard is a good wizard
Maybe that was Tom Riddle's real plan. He called himself a death-eater (someone who removes death) and he used the snake (symbol of healing)
Wasn't Voldemort's plan was to take over the wizard world and THEN take over the muggles as Emperor of mankind?
Something like that, yeah. That was more or less Grindelwald's plan as well, but he at least put a somewhat altruistic spin on it saying that the world would be better off with wizards in charge. And he might have been right, frick if I know. But Voldemort wanted to live forever and install himself as eternal God Emperor and I have no idea why anyone that was schizophrenic would be interested in supporting him. At least with Grindelwald you can say that he would one day die off and leave someone else in charge. With Voldemort it was just like "everybody serve me until I inevitably kill you out of boredom because you are nothing to me".
Because everyone was scared of Voldemort
>billions of muggle children die starving, sick, cold, homeless, while the wizard scum feasts on piles of magic housing and food
total wizard genocide.
It's not their fault; its the butthole HP and Arthur Weasley. They and the rest of the wizard cops literally arrests you if you try to heal a muggle for breaking the statue of secret
Anyone who wouldn't want to exterminate all wizardking if it existed is a cuck and deserves to be enslaved like the fricking elves
I'd literally bash a wizards head in and feel nothing but PRIDE
Idk why the Wizards of Harry Potter are so pleasant to bully. I feel this about no other fantasy race. The elves and Dwarves of LotR are also exclusive but I feel we could be bros; the Star Wars aliens are sexy
Agree but I don't just want to bully them, I want to extinct them. They pose an existential threat to humankind and I seem to be the only one that comprehends this. Voldemort murked other wizards without much issue, what would have stopped him from killing 100,000 humans and make everyone forget? Even one human death to a filthy wizard is too much for me to handle, all wizards must die instead for my fellow man to live in peace.
Dwarves, Elves, and Star Wars aliens can't kill you with their minds nearly as readily in the cases they can at all
Counterpoint: If I were a wizard I'd petition to either enslave or eliminate humanity. Humanity has the capacity to destroy teh world between environmental impact, nuclear war, resource elimination etc. They can and should be heeled.
>If I were a wizard I'd petition to either enslave or eliminate humanity. Humanity has the capacity to destroy teh world between environmental impact,
we already have that, they're called israelites
>Dwarves, Elves, and Star Wars aliens can't kill you with their minds nearly as readily in the cases they can at all
The first two can cause a lot more damage in the books and yet they never think to do it
They tried, and Dumbledore mailed them to Azkaban for the attempt, including the twink that was his bottom b***h boy. He is colder than he is to the slytherins in the pastas
Do wizards not have any institutes of higher learning?
Seems kind of odd to go "nah frick it mate, my seven years at hogwarts set me up, don't want to learn more magic".
I don't think they do, Hogwarts hires all their "professors" from just about all walks of life
No, because thanks to magic wizards don't actually need jobs. School sets you up so you understand the basics of magic and know how to read, then you get to live as an eternal neet researching whatever shit you might be interested in, or just wasting your life away on frivolities. The only time you'd become strapped for cash is if you don't use the coitus pulloutus spell to keep from overflowing in kids who all need food and school fees. Otherwise wizards only work if they're interested in their vocation or wish to become rich.
>coitus pulloutus
From the sound of things this spell is probably better off banned.
THIS. IS. NOT. ACCURATE. I. WILL. POOP. IN. YOUR. HOUSE.
Food and naby other necessities can't be magiced out, so they still need some kind of providion. Somrone has to tard wrangle dangerous animals and demons. Someone has to prevent wizards from murdering eachother. All of the above need proper documentation. They need less labour, but they still need it
>"Your mother can’t produce food out of thin air, no one can. Food is the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfigura[tion]... It’s impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you’ve already got some..."
Literally all wizards have to do is manage to grow one potato and know a lake with fish in it and then they'll be fine on the basic necessities.
>summon one grain of rice
>can transform it into any other food
>can multiply it indefinitely
What a moronic rule.
>>can multiply it indefinitely
You can't, though. The more you multiply it, the less nutritionally viable it is. They explain this in Deathly Hallows when Hermione has to keep multiplying the eggs or whatever.
Then what's the point of multiplying it at all? Can't recall the scene you mentioned.
It works for a little while. But generally speaking, they don't multiply or conjure food. That's explained in one of the earlier books. Harry asks if the food is being conjured because it appears out of nowhere in the Great Hall, but they tell him their house elf slaves make the food in the kitchens and teleport it to the tables.
They also show what's his name accioing a fish out of the river in Deathly Hallows when you can't actually do that. And the trio watch him do it, then go back to starving for no reason because they are very stupid
I accio the shit out of all kinds of creatures in the video game.
The game doesn't make any sense. It tells you you can't accio a person, you're actually accioing their clothes, but then you can accio animals for some reason
>all kinds of arbitrary rules surrounding accio
>you can depulso any goddamn thing you want
HACK FRAUD
When you think about it, accio, depulso and leviosa are all the same thing in different directions. Arresto momentum too, kinda
That's more or less what I'm asking too? Like what happens if you just don't wanna do magic after Hogwarts? How the frick do you get a job on the normal human world? How can you go to college
Hey so if you are mud blood and you go to Hogwarts until you graduate that pretty much it right? You can't go back to the normal human world. What if a wizard wanted to become a engineer? How is he getting into college ?
>What if a wizard wanted to become a engineer? How is he getting into college ?
Faked school records complete with some poor teachers getting mindraped into believing you've been a beloved student of theirs for your whole life.
What are they supposed to come up with middle and high school years of grades?
Easily accomplished with a swish of a wand.
Well Hermione did erase her parents memories of her so it's not entirely out of the ordinary. But wouldn't this count as cheating and get that person arrested?
how would YOU arrest a wizard anon?
Put a gag in their mouth and some chains around their hands and feet and they aren't so tough
you know I meant other wizards right cause he is using magic to break the law
With a .50cal through his ears
Wizards get to do whatever the frick they want to muggles as long as it's not murder or risks exposing wizards. The wizard government themselves are responsible for Alzheimer's, because they just keep mindraping innocent people living next to some wizard who can't be discreet, or because the government decides to set up a world cup at a muggle camp without getting rid of the muggles first, forcing them to just mindrape them multiple times every hour.
I would like to see the laws that dominate the wizard world
No such luck I'm afraid. All hopes of normalcy, respectability and ORDERED life dashed just to go galivanting off to learn parlor tricks from some dazed old fool in women's clothing.
So you are pretty much fricked if you decide to go to wizard school? How is that fair?
Who says it's fair?
They take impressionable young children, haul them off to God knows where and make them waste the most important years of their lives walking up and down in bathrobes, waving around sticks and spouting abject hogwash. And then they make their parent's pay for it.
It's criminal.
Based and Dursley-pilled.
Why did the wizarding world do nothing to stop the rise of literal Nazi Adolf Hitler???
Isn't it also established canon that there was a war in medieval times between muggles and wizards, which the wizards lost spectacularly, leading to a massive reduction in the wizard population?
I believe it is a pact ever since then that the wizards isolate themselves from the muggle world, or something like that.
How the duck did wizard lose to arrows and blades?
No, what happened was the witch trials, where mostly muggles died, not a war. Some ultramoronic wizards managed to get their wands stolen before they could mount a counter-offensive and so got killed, but mostly it was wizard kids who got attacked when walking alone since they couldn't use magic yet. It was mostly the kids being attacked and the fact that kings and local villagers just wouldn't stop pestering them to do shit with magic that they decided to just frick off and hide.
What's a wizard going to do against a drone strike?
I'm worried the anons in this thread aren't sufficiently weary of the wizard threat. Don't tell me you're wizard apologists. Who else would join a bloody crusade against the magical?
It didn't effect them directly, but anyone who wanted to fight was allowed to enlist on the Muggle army. Newt's big brother fought in the First World War.
During the Second World War, Dumbledore and the ICW were trying to take down Grindlewald who was fighting a parallel war using the European theatre as a Smokescreen to assume control.
Bad writing
Wizards were modeled after Swedes, a cowardly, pathetic lot.
>cowardly
>pathetic
>autistic
>shits their breeches for fun
Checks out.
Why are there poor wizards ? Why can’t the just copy gold?
As soon as you copy gold twenty goblins spawn in to rape you.
Were Nazi Wizards called Grand Wizards?
So the entire Wizarding World just accepted that the dark lord took over the government and didn't care because all he wanted was Harry Potter?
No, a bunch of them didn't care because they shared his views, others were in complete denial until it was too late, and others were too afraid to do anything. Mind you, how this is actually accomplished is unclear. I get that Voldemort himself is extremely powerful, but I also don't see him winning in a 1 v everyone else in the world situation
The british government was so incredibly corrupt(with Malfoy buying favours for years being the most obvious evidence) that the rest of the world was just waiting for Voldemort to start his war with the rest of the world, so they could curbstomp the British wizards and install a new and less corrupt government.
They knew that israelites were descendants of a rival mystic cult so they turned a blind eye
Honestly I just assumed that at that point Wizards were way more Wizard Supremacist at the time and so didn't give a frick about it
Like how Pajeets hold some pride that they don't clean up after their own poos because that's a sign of belonging to a lower caste in Hindu culture?
Or how they destroyed toilets and even plumbing for tap water because they think its unnatural, uncomfortable, a form of foreign imperialism, and even unsanitary compared to shitting openly in the streets and using water from the river where dead bodies are floated away?
Nothing, which is why Voldemort happens
Imagine being an orphan, in the 30s
You live through the worst economic period in history, and then you see the horrors of WW2
You also go to school in a magical castle where you have a great time, mostly because there's abundance of food and a lack of bombs raining on your head
Wouldn't you consider the muggles barbarians and the wizards civilized?
>Imagine being an orphan, in the 30s
He was already a budding young psychopath by then who tortured animals and did a murder or two
There's no way muggle wizards weren't participating in WW2.
thanks to this thread i now want to see wizards get BTFO'd by 'murika
I'd fricking cut a wizard in half with a chainsaw no second thoughts
Why is this bread full of seething Dursleys
>t. magic simp
wizards don't care about you and can kill you but uttering some stupid fake latin. They must be quelled
can we at least keep a couple of witch qts and magic twinks to do our laundry and serve Muggle superiors
are Hogwarts kids taught things that would actually enable them to be functional in the muggle world? they have to go back there during breaks right? how the frick is the wizarding world able to function beyond a small town/city or school?
No, muggle studies is a thoroughly optional subject and the kids are heavily discouraged from taking it.
Imagine the kino if it was mandatory and Dumbledore hired Vernon to teach it
>veteran badass wizard professor observes the class
>struggles to change the oil in a car and the normie muggle students laugh at him
>muggle studies
so math, home economics, music, Art, English, sciences(metallurgy, mining, agriculture, etc), and other crucially important subjects are a no-go but making troll cum potions and reading tea leaves are in?
>the kids are heavily discouraged from taking it.
I wonder which poor professor gets assigned to teach that shit.
Pretty much yeah, tough to be fair wizards can do most of that just waving their wands; there is a certain implication that the wizarding world is in social and cultural decay, their population is microscopic compared to muggles and while magic gave them an edge in the past nowadays they're pretty mcuh beaten by muggle tech.
>I wonder which poor professor gets assigned to teach that shit.
During Dumbledore's tenure it was Charity Burbage, a pureblood witch who was considered a bood traitor because she actually motivated her students to learn muggle stuff and integrate with them, Voldemort has her sacked and then murders her in year 7.
What's the problem with being mixed? Is magic recessive?
Probably, it is relatively common for wizards to have squib (Muggles born from wizards) children, far more common than it is for muggles with squib ancestry to randomly have a wizard child; pureblood families attempt to stave this off with ungodly amounts of inbreeding and even breeding with semi-human magical creatures like veelas and giants.
Why not just have a bunch of children and pop them out with magic to avoid childbirth?
Stupidly enough, having lots of children is socially frowned upon, which is one of the reasons the Weasleys are treated with contempt.
Pureblood witches may also be too inbred to be able to have more than one or two relatively healthy kids, like Draco Malfoy's wife who croaked soon after having a single sickly kid.
b***h died from leukemia because of a curse apparently. Really from the narrative need to punish Malfoy for getting away with shit cause of Harry's testimony at the Death Eater trials and for drama
>In Chamber of Secrets Ron explains it's mathematically impossible for anyone to actually be "pure blood" because the wizard population is so astronomically small for anyone to not have had part-blood, muggle born, and muggle ancestors would mean the Wizards would have gone extinct long ago or be too inbred to function.
>It is often reiterated that muggle borns are not magically inferior (Such as as powerful Hermione and Lily Evans) nor would they be more likely to produce more squibs
>Voldemort's mother Merope was a late magical bloomer to the point where her father Marvalo believed she was a squib and abused her for it.
Am I remembering the following correctly?
>In Order of the Phoenix
>When Harry was at the Black Ancestral home 12 Grimmauld Place
>He looked at the Black family tree painted and sprawled over the wall.
>Sirius Black gave Harry a run down of his awful family.
>The Blacks were pure blood supremacists like their LeStrange and Malfoy cousins.
>Several branches on the tree were scratched out because of things they did to be disowned
>Such as marrying muggle borns
>Sirius mentioned there were a great deal more left out completely for being born squibs
So my interpretation was that the text was implying that keeping bloodlines "pure" for too long would result in squibs like dysgenic defects from inbreeding.
Wasn't Voldemort's dad a muggle?
>So my interpretation was that the text was implying that keeping bloodlines "pure" for too long would result in squibs like dysgenic defects from inbreeding.
It may be both that and the magic gene just being too weak and random to begin with, maybe it actually powers up as it remains dormant through generations of muggles, explaining why random muggleborns happen to have such powerful magic.

>potions that can turn you into the exact person for a short time

Wizards have their own economy independent from muggles, they're so disconnected from the muggle world that Ron's dad didn't even know how to use the subway, how to pronounce "telephone" or what rubber ducks are for.
Also, Fantastic Beasts shows that Grindelwald rose precisely at the time in between WWI and WWII and even used visions of the coming war to call for muggle genocide.
Twins of Evil
Witchfinder General
meant for
Thanks for the Vincent Price rec
The culture clash between someone like Vernon and the pureblood wizards like Malfoy and Weasley would be kino enough but Vernon ending up looking badass for solving problems with common sense would be oddly satisfyin
Too bad Rowling hates working class men like Vernon
>Ron's father enrolls in the class and is the only student that gives a shit but struggles
I can imagine the scoffing from Vernon but it would end in bromance. But I get the feeling that the Muggles would have some things that blow the wizards minds. Imagine being a wizard kid who sees a blow torch or a drill the first day of school for the first time in his life; Uncle Vernon introduces them to you and you think the Muggle can do magic
Thanks bro, and you are right about the chicks being cutes
>I can imagine the scoffing from Vernon but it would end in bromance. But I get the feeling that the Muggles would have some things that blow the wizards minds.

Wizards are mystified by the very concept of electricity, imagine them seeing a fricking videogame console or a smartphone when the best they have in comparison are those shitty paintings that never shut up.
By the end of the year Malfoy is spoiled brat screeching for a Play Boy and Crabbe and Goyle are carrying Uncle Vern around like a god because he taught them important shit they can do without being gifted at magic
Jenny Nimm actually did this better than Rowling, the dark wizard who goes to modern London ends up a shriveling wreck from the cars and the muggle contraption
i like Twins of Evil the more of the two if only because it has more eye candy. It also has Peter Cushings
As for Vincent Price, check out Dr. Phibes if you haven't seen it.
Wasn't Tom Riddle literally a muggle born israelite?
All wizard children should be euthanized and all parents who given birth to such children should be chemically and physically sterilized and any kids they had before their wizard child should also be sterilized
i literally hate all wizards so fricking much bros
