    This has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
    Here's why:
    Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead.
    Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it.
    Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
    And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
    Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
    Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
    Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his wand at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
    I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
    "Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1."
    And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

      It ties into one of my pet peeves with the world building too. In a world that has both guns, and magic, there is a natural conclusion to what you do: you combine them. You either make projectile weapons powered by magic, or you make normal firearms with magic bullets. Who the hell needs Gryffindors enchanted lame ass sword when you can have Slytherin's Enchanted Submachine Gun.

    Can we talk about how there are only 3 unforgivable curses, one of which the main characters do all the time with zero reprocussions (the mind control spell), and one of which is just the gun spell which you could make a self defense case for. Meanwhile, Sectisempra, Obliviate and Feindfire are totally okay. You know the laceration charm, which causes you to bleed to death, the spell that permanently erases a person's memory with no way to get it back, and the conjured sentient fire that has a mind of its own and actively tries to hurt and destroy and cant be put out with water. Those are all good-guy approved!

    • @BananaWasTaken
      @BananaWasTaken 11 дней назад +1

      To be fair, they only do the mind control spell when they’re already fugitives and the dark lord is in charge.
      Sectumsempra was invented by Snape so they wouldn’t even be able to make it an unforgivable curse (since it’s not like anyone else knew it existed).
      I guess they didn’t want to make obliviate unforgivable since they probably thought it’s a good precaution to be able to use it on muggles, although it doesn’t make any sense why they don’t have any laws at least restricting its use.
      And Fiendyre is advanced dark magic (although there’s nothing banning adults from using dark magic anyway). I guess they didn’t want to make it unforgivable as if you were good enough you’d be able to control the spell, and could use it to do some good things
      Overall, the spells you mentioned aren’t unforgivable since they have some cool use that doesn’t make them evil (except Sectumsempra, which is just a spell that nobody knows). It makes sense that they aren’t unforgivable, as the 3 unforgivable curses could only be used for evil (since even when the good guys use the mind control one, they use it to break into a bank which is still a crime.
      And I’m guessing that they don’t get punished for using the unforgivable curse because it’s a time of war , and wizards don’t have war crimes so everything is fair.
      The only thing that doesn’t make sense out of the things you pointed out, is why there are barely any restrictions on magic (especially on oblivious and dark magic)

    I tried to read the Harry Potter books as a kid but gave up in Order of the Phoenix when they spend the first 150 pages dealing with a big trial, and the big trial ended like “well we don’t approve but you can go back to doing whatever and we won’t interrupt the status quo.”
    So the entire opening of the book was basically learning about an event that doesn’t do anything. Whyyyy

    Personal favorite is her weird grudge against French people. 4 French names/families. Voldemort as a French pun, Malfoys being the most bigoted pureblood family we see, Lestranges being a family of psychotic terrors, and Delacour as Fleur basically is portrayed as a husband stealer after book 4.

      ⁠​⁠@@thicc_duccyeah I’m exaggerating a bit over “grudge” with the French, but Rowling does show a lot of favoritism with her characters. Like I get Gryffindor having a lot of the main good guys, but it’s weird that there’s a near complete absence of nearly all of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw who are basically neutral in the middle of what’s basically a wizard civil war.
      I just think it’s funny that her favoritism also seems to extend to naming the characters. Like when she needs an Irish name she just goes down the most common or stereotypical names in the country. (Seamus Finnigan).

    The snitch mechanic would make more sense if the snitch would give no points. That way it is an undetermined timer for the game. Now the seekers jobs become to Attack/Defend against the enemy seeker depending on the score. That battle can still be interesting. Heck allow them to use spells as seeker (From a currated list) how sick would it be if someone goes: Lumos! As a defender to blind the attacking seeker to stall just enough for his team to score another point so he can attack now. Think about the Fan hype when a new spell gets added to the list of legal quidditch spells or removed because its so broken.

    you’d have to score essentially 15 scores to win if the other team catches the snitch so the only incentive would be if seekers have individual wins and there’s a dual scoring system for teams. so theoretically your team would get 1-1 if you lost while still catching the snitch; the benefit being “this team is demolishing us so hard our only chance to make it to playoffs is thru a tied score”

      Also, usually the snitch isnt found and caught for like at least 30 mins right? Why doesnt the seeker just get the ball and give the extra player on offense. You score 15 times and the other team literally cant stop the game if they dont want to lose. Also, iirc theres no rule that only the seeker can get the snitch. So why not just get 3-5 fast guys with good eyesight and hand eye coordination to hunt the snitch before the other guys score 150

    • @godlyvex5543
      @godlyvex5543 11 дней назад

      I think it makes more sense to just lower the amount of points (maybe to around the value of 5 normal scores) and make it so that it only ends the game after a certain amount of time has passed, with an upper bound on how long the game can go. Like maybe the first 20 minutes catching it doesn't end the game, then after 60 minutes if the game hasn't ended then it ends. The numbers could do with some tweaking, but overall that feels like it'd make the game more fair and fun.

He was guaranteed going to catch it unless Krum beat him to it and caught it first. There was no time to wait for his team to catch up. It was either catch the snitch right then and lose by 10 or let the irish seeker catch the snitch right then and lose by like 300. Either way the snitch was getting caught right at that moment by one of the seekers.

    The snitch gives you 100 (or something) points and stops the clock. If the game can last hours, or even days, then its very possible for a team to put up 100+ points on the board before that point comes.
    The snitch doesn't win the game, but its a deciding factor. It can come a point where a seeker has to take the defensive and protect the snitch because they're team is so far behind that either side catching it would only ensure their loss.

Ireland had seven good players and while Aiden Lynch is outclassed by Krum, the rest of the Irish team outclasses the rest of the Bulgarian Team, and yeah. I believe the only reason Bulgaria made the final is Krum.
    Krum would have to catch the snitch simply so that the point differential isn't too embarrassing for Bulgaria.

    Ok in the discussion about Krum Big A is straight up wrong. Ireland was up 170 - 10 when Krum caught the snitch, so there was no way the Bulgarian team was coming back from that. If Krum had delayed catching the snitch, either A) the Irish seeker would have caught it or B) the Irish would have scored even more points, in either case Ireland would have won with an even bigger lead. That would be embarrassing for Bulgarian, and especially Krum who is still in school and is probably looking to get recruited by a professional team (I’m sure there are tons of scouts at the World Cup).
    Keep in mind also that Krum had his nose broken so it’s questionable whether he would have been able to catch it later on or if he would have eventually had to land due to blood loss.
    More generally, Quidditch appears to follow a tournament style similar to the football World Cup, meaning even outside of the final, you don’t want to lose by too much or it can hurt your chances of advancing out of the group because the score differential is also important.

If you think they had a chance of coming back even after most of their team was wounded (including Krum by the way so the chances he'd be able to find the Snitch again were very low) you are out of your mind. He saved them the humiliation from being beaten 390 to 10 which is what Ireland scored in the semi-finals!
    What you should be complaining about is how much the referee was clearly rigging that match. Pretty much the entire Bulgarian team got seriously wounded and no penalty was awarded but Krum lightly shoves the other seeker once and automatically gets a penalty.

While he's correct that on a direct skirmish, they would likely not be able to beat us, with our drones, guns and nukes, but they also have no reason to take us out using that route, they have better options, such as:
    - Disguising themselves as one of our leaders, gather us on a specific place and cast an AoE spell that either turns us all into animals, or cast a spell that makes us forget about the war;
    - Using potions such as liquid luck to turn the tides of a fight, or make some of us drink a love potion so that we fight amongst ourselves;
    - Their vast amount of magical beings at their command and disposal, not limited to Dragons and Dementors, of which specifically are immortal, guns and nukes won't affect them, and they suck the soul out of us;
    - They can separate their souls, put them in artefacts, hide them on a place we will never find out, and they basically become an immortal zombie hoard, that can cast spells, teleport and ALL OF THE ABOVE;
    Need I go on?

    My biggest gripe with the snitch rules is that even if the snitch was worth 0, the Seeker would be an insanely important role. You literally control when the score gets locked in. If your team is ahead, you try and catch the snitch. If your team is behind, you try and stop the other seeker from ending the game. That's a massively important role. Imagine if in basketball you had 2 people playing catch with a bouncy ball and can end the game after a single shot. That's insane.
