That only lets you levitate. You can't move without propulsion; it's like being stuck in outer space.

Then add infinite ascendio after it.

>>85534507
I thought that was kind of weird in the movie. It seems to be pretty easy to do if every single Death Eater is doing it, why does anyone else use brooms? Personally, I think they did it because the movies are clearly set in modern-day England, where people had digital cameras, then camera flip-phones, then smartphones....if wizards were flying around brooms there would be mountains of footage. But a vague cloud in the sky? Could be anything.

>>85534554

It's not the most powerful spell, it's just the most evil spell that kills people. In the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort they were conjuring swords and fire out of thin air.

Wizards/witches should have zero (0) problems but for some reason they have nothing but problems.

>He was on the sixth stair when there was a loud, wailing, klaxon-like sound and the steps melted together to make a long, smooth stone slide like a helter-skelter. There was a brief moment when Ron tried to keep running, arms working madly like windmills, then he toppled over backwards and shot down the newly created slide, coming to rest on his back at Harry's feet.
'Er - I don't think we're allowed in the girls' dormitories,' said Harry, pulling Ron to his feet and trying not to laugh.
Two fourth-year girls came zooming gleefully down the stone slide.
'Oooh, who tried to get upstairs?' they giggled happily, leaping to their feet and ogling Harry and Ron.
'Me,' said Ron, who was still rather dishevelled. 'I didn't realise that would happen. It's not fair!' he added to Harry, as the girls headed off for the portrait hole, still giggling madly. 'Hermione's allowed in our dormitory, how come we're not allowed -?'
'Well, it's an old-fashioned rule,' said Hermione, who had just slid neatly on to a rug in front of them and was now getting to her feet, 'but it says in Hogwarts: A History, that the founders thought boys were less trustworthy than girls.

Objectively, teenage girls sneaking into the boys' room is less dangerous than the other way around. Hermione, being like 11 or 12 or whatever, was probably too young to realize that it was meant to be about preventing rape/molestation.

Because Rowling desperately tried to breathe some originality into one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

In the books, only Voldemort could fly, and only once in the final book (death eaters ambush Harry as the Order is moving him in a broom convoy, and Voldy himself shows up just free-flying). It was just there to highlight his power level in a surprise spook seen, though, it was never expanded upon or even mentioned again, I think.
The movies' flying-smoke-trailing-heads death eaters were pretty neat visually but kinda broken OP, not that you can really suspend disbelief too far in HP to begin with.

Rowling doesn't understand her own universe then. Apparate+Imperio alone is an instant win for wizards, along with the ability to hide in plain sight even from other wizards (like that house in the 5th movie that's right between two other houses but nobody sees it).

Unless Hogwart's cloaking field extends dozens of miles out in every direction, they don't NEED the exact location. They just need to know where the field begins. Then you bombard the area with FAEs.

If you need to be precise, you sent a chemical rocket with a tracker to the last known location of the wizard kid's tracker, fire it into the field, and wait until it exits at the other side.

Also, Radios work in Hogwarts, so radio waves can and do penetrate their cloak.

I never understood how magic functions in Harry potter. Do the wizards cast spells by using a internal energy source like Mana, Magicka, Chakra, Spirt energy, or Ki? If not, than can't they just cast spells non stop without tire? Such a mechanic should allow them to just cast a permanent levitate spell, right? Also, if the energy source is external to them, why do they even need wands in this universe.

>>85537148
Bombing Hogwarts doesn't kill every single wizard. Some wizards are even fucking immortal like Voldemort.

And frankly, even if they did, they wouldn’t sound as smart as Richard Feynman, so I might as well read something Richard Feynman wrote instead. I’m isolated, Professor McGonagall. I’ve been isolated my whole life. Maybe that has some of the same effects as being locked in a cellar. And I’m too intelligent to look up to my parents the way that children are designed to do. My parents love me, but they don’t feel obliged to respond to reason, and sometimes I feel like they’re the children - children who won’t listen and have absolute authority over my whole existence.

Why aren't wizards concerned with leaving their children in deadly environments? One of the punishments involves sending 11 year olds into a murder forest.

The government would kidnap and breed low-level wizards/witches to raise as their own and train them from birth to infiltrate the wizarding world
They'd just need a sleeper cell in Hogwarts learning magic, how to enter the wizarding world, where everything is etc. Then they'd just have to find out how to wield the darkest/most powerful magic. Then plot an attack from the inside when they least expect it at places where wizards all gather together like that world quidditch cup. It's not impossible but they'd be outmatched if they didn't try and use magic/infiltrate the wizarding world.

They know how it works, just not the purpose

Absolutely fucking correct, Stephen Fry is a disgusting old faggot, Jim Dale is based as fuck. His HBP reading was GOAT

Ron literally gets raped by a girl for an entire book because of a love potion

>infiltrating an organization of people who can read minds and detect any magic anywhere instantly

good luck not fucking that up

>>85539462
Magic is a natural force like earth water air and fire, you just have to have the right skills/natural tendency to channel that force, a small amount of muggles can do it but theyre the niggers of the wizarding world because there are a bunch of old wizard families that go back thousands of years

>you just have to have the right skills/natural tendency to channel that force, a small amount of muggles can do it
explain squibs then

you have to have the gift or you can't fucking do it

>>85540456
Too hard to control, if you arent a top level wizard its suicide

>>85534554
>Not Cultura Marxima

It literally destroys entire civilizations.

>>85539596
If that's the case than why can't all humans use magic? Its not tied to any internal power source that the user has to train up, so ,in theory, everybody should able to use it, yet, the muggles can't manipulate magic. Imo, Harry potter should made magic be fueled by an internal source, it just works out better when you do that instead of having magic just be this thing all around us that we can exploit by thinking about it.

Harry was kind of a Mary Sue was he not?

>>85547597

No. Even just academically he was average at everything but DatDA. A big point is made that Hermione basically carries the group and Harry is just good at dueling and shit. Not to mention there are leagues of people who hat Harry for being Harry. One of the main characters bullies Harry his entire school life because his mom wouldn't fuck him when they were younger.

>>85534139
Why can they regrow bones in an arm that has none, but they can't ever correct Harry's vision so he doesn't have to wear stupid glasses anymore?

>>85543600
There is NOTHING in the Harry Potter universe more powerful than a nuclear weapon. Prove me wrong.

>>85548285
Harry is talented at quiddich too, and he even plays the position that's specifically designed to get maximum glory from minimum effort.

>>85548421
I only read fanfic, but wouldn't a dementor survive a nuke?

>>85543900
What about Snape?

>>85548421

An out of control kid destroys New York and they literally rebuild it waving their wands without breaking a sweat and then they make it rain and everyone forgets everything. Just because they've never needed to show nuke level capabilities in the wizarding world doesn't mean they can't fuck some shit up.

>>85543411
I love when random anons come up with ideas that are far more interesting than the bullshit that professional writers come up with

also, nice dubs

>>85536973
Pretty sure magic can split atoms. Magic is in a sense hyper advanced technology using extradimension laws of physics to circumvent rules of reality to create an effect in spacetime. How this is done us impossible to explain since it uses physics outside of our reality but the method to creating effects can be studied though its impossible to know how the effects happen.

>>85548627

when did something like this happen?

>>85537990
Its Rowling being a hack thinking autistic wizards wouldnt use magic to speed up scientific development. Imagine if humans could fire frok nowhere. We wouldnt need coal so we could go straight to steam powered shit.

>>85534139
Because British wizards placed an import and manufacturing ban on flying carpets.

>>85548938
we wouldn't need the entire food industry because wizards can duplicate food infinitely

Really jingles the bell

>>85534554
it's powerful because it cannot be blocked by protective spells. if you shoot a wizard with a handgun he probably has plenty of spells in his arsenal that can deal with it.

>>85537459
I haven't read the books for a while but i know in the movies they show that Accio doesn't work on horcruxes.

>>85548421
what does that have to do with handguns?

Also, we never got to see the effects of nuclear weapons on magical wards...

>>85548795

Fantastic Beasts.

It was fucking retarded. Comfy movie though.
