Yeah no fucking way. All you needed to do was shoot the motherfucker in the head seven times. I could of did that myself with my father's AR-15. I hate HP fags thinking their garbage children's series has a high "powerlevel".
>>71643530
Not to mention he doesn't kill the motherfucker when he's literally helpless
>>71643676
invuln potions(against physicals), and throwing a horcrux into the pacific

>>71643676
>All you needed to do was shoot the motherfucker in the head seven times.
not how horcruxes work
>>71643761
He never did either of those things.
>>71643807
Yeah it is faggot. Sorry that your shitty book series main bad guy couldn't even take over the real world. For fucks sake his strongest spell only hits one target and can be dodged by a moderately quick individual. Not to mention any old fucboi can learn it.
>>71643530
He's petty
>>71644033
>Yeah it is faggot.
but it isnt lmao
i'm not even a harry potter fan but you gotta destroy the horcruxes before you can kill voldie, you can't just shoot him however many horcruxes he made
>>71644033
Anon, it's ok to admit you didn't read the books
>>71644033
Even when his body was completely destroyed he didn't die because he had all his horcruxes
>>71644126
>>71644158
Oh I read them alright and they are overrated garbage. Tell me where in the books it states that you can't kill Voldemort by shooting him seven times. Tell me how Voldemort and his sub 1000 followers could of taken over bongistan let alone the entire world. Tell me how Harry Potter wasn't hot garbage that was only good because you read the books in 4th grade.
>>71643530
He needed to prove he was better than Potter. If not, then people wouldn't take him as seriously as he wanted.
"Oh no Voldemort is around he's terrible!"
"Yeah, but he couldn't even kill a single baby boy. Hell he still can't kill him. I bet we all can take him!"

>mfw rewatching the movies and realizing harry did absolutely nothing of worth and in fact almost helped voldemort in philosopher's stone
Without Harry interfering: Professor Herpaderp and Voldemort are stuck in the dungeons with the mirror, unable to acquire the stone
With Harry: Prof Voldemort almost gets the stone since Harry brings it there
If Harry just did nothing, Dumbledor and Snape and the whole gang could have just gone down there and kill the Prof and probably stopped Voldemort from escaping too.

Haha cool thread OP but could Voldemort beat Madara Uchiha and I'm not talking about Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara. No, I'm not talking about Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara. Hell, I'm not talking about Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara either. I'm talking about Kono Yo no Kyūseishu Futarime no Rikudō Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (which is capable of Enton Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami and the Tsyukuyomi Genjutsu), his two original Rinnegan (which grant him Chikushōdō, Shuradō, Tendō, Ningendō, Jigokudō, Gakidō, Gedō, Banshō Ten'in, Chibaku Tensei, Shinra Tensei, Tengai Shinsei and Banbutsu Sōzō) and a third Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead, capable of using Katon, Fūton, Raiton, Doton, Suiton, Mokuton, Ranton, Inton, Yōton and even Onmyōton Jutsu, equipped with his Gunbai(capable of using Uchihagaeshi) and a Shakujō because he is a master in kenjutsu and taijutsu, a perfect Susano'o (that can use Yasaka no Magatama ), control of both the Juubi and the Gedou Mazou, with Hashirama Senju's DNA and face implanted on his chest, his four Rinbo Hengoku Clones guarding him and nine Gudōdama floating behind him AFTER he absorbed Senjutsu from the First Hokage, entered Rikudō Senjutsu Mode, cast Mugen Tsukuyomi on everybody and used Shin: Jukai Kōtan so he can use their Chakra while they are under Genjutsu.
What did you expect from dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. 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.

>>71644126
technically the best way to kill Voldy is to shoot him point blank in the face with a gun, then while he's in Limbo searching for another way to return, destroy the horcruxes
If he returns, repeat process.
>>71643530
His goal was to tune the world as a king basically.
But to do so, he had to get rid of the one person in the world that could kill him.
The one person who had a magical link to his soul and that needed to be destroyed, lest he go unchecked and succeed in destroying his horcrux'.
If you were invincible and there was literally one person alive who could stop you, you'd put all your resources into killing him.
>>71643530
>Terrorist takes over wizarding UK

>>71644672
Voldemort would get fucked trashed by copyi-pastu Madara. In HP they cream their pants over a spell that can kill someone while a modern assault rifle can kill 30 people in a single clip. I havent seen nor read any books past 4 but I hope they have a grand battle in the end where everyone is spamming their spells out loud as quickly as possible like when my kid brother and his friends pretended to be pokemons fighting or that lightning bolt larp nerd on youtube.
>>71644301

horcruxes are anchors to material world. voldemort did not need a horcrux to ressurect himself. horcruxes just are and you do not die because piece of your soul is save somewhere else. you could shoot him and destroy his body million times and he will still be and can resurrect again.
>>71643530

kek *tips fedora*
The most perplexing part about Voldemort's death, is that in the books Harry TELLS him that he's the true owner of the Elder wand, explains how, and says the spell won't work. Voldemort launches it anyway, dying in the process.
Voldemort wasnt' an idiot and knew the rules of the wand. Why the fuck didn't he listen? At least the movie left out Harry fucking tell him what would happen play by play.

>>71650857
Voldy couldn't handle the banter and fired anyway
>>71650857
Voldemort's downfall from day 1 was his hubris and ego. Instead of hiding the horcruxes in random places out in bumfuck nowhere where nobody would ever find them, he stored them in only moderately secret places that had special meaning to him. Instead of making horcruxes out of random objects that people would overlook, he made half of them out of the most significant wizarding artifacts on the planet and the rest out of objects that held huge significance to him. He even had the balls to make his beloved a pet a horcrux, thus negating the entire purpose of separating your soul from your body to safely hide elsewhere in the first place, the absolute madman.
Because of his pride and arrogance, he made what should have been the impossible task of hunting down his horcruxes possible to anyone determined enough to do it. It was fine writing for a kid's book.
>>71643530
>has horcruxes that can prevent him from ever dying

>>71652155
Sounds like you made it all the way up to the horcrux phase. The late 2nd/3rd act mcguffin that jk roweling added to fill out the last few books. She was running on fumes by the end.
Have you also seen the piss poor attempt she's had at a career post potter? Absolutely discusting. Billions aren't enough for that cunt apparently.

>>71643530
Pretty much no one's actions in the entire series make sense, and if magic works the way JK implies it does, then they should all be OP as fuck.
Read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It's pretty much a storyline based off of "what if none of the characters were retarded?"
>>71643530
If he's such a great wizard why can't he make himself a new nose.

Not if the kid who rekt him last time is still alive.
So horrocruxes allow you to be ressed but you need somebody else to do it?
What a piece of shit, If you don't have followers like Voldy then you are fucked.
>>71643530
>by far greatest wizard ever
Maybe powerlevel wise, because his contribution in the field of magic developtment is laughable.
The only thing he invented was the stupid skelly sign in the sky and the stupid skelly tattoo, apart from that he only proved that cool shit that somebody already found out in the past was possible, like horrocruxes and flying without a broom.
>>71655177

He was too busy getting immortality and taking over a country for that. R&D is something you do once you've got eternity and resources to faff about with at your leisure.
>>71655261
What's wrong about it? Magic isn't just repeating the same spells till you are good enough at it, The Half-Blood Prince proved that you can create your own spell and shit.
In that regard, Snape had more of a legacy than Voldemort, who only created like two useless spells.

>>71655429
Didn't they have his body float above the Hall's entrance or something like that?
>>71643530
jk rowling did a terrible job creating the lore for harry potter. it technically doesn't have a genre besides "fantasy" because it wavers between high and low fantasy so often. the wizarding world makes no sense, and apparently wizards in the united states don't exist despite immigration to the united states being a very viable option for those persecuted for witchcraft.
I liked the book series as a kid, but I can't read it without being annoyed on how poorly developed the lore is nowadays.
because its for children and $$$
>>71655484
in the book? nah he just falls over lifeless. then the book says "and tom riddle lived no more". his whole death is supposed to be him being nothing more than a fuckboy, not some great powerful wizard. at the end hes just little tom riddle, dead on the ground
>>71655534
The movies definitely missed a lot of subtlety and nuance
>>71655489
>and apparently wizards in the united states don't exist
They do you fuckknuckle.
>>71655577
>wizards in the united states exist
>none of them come to help fight voldemort even though they should outnumber the british wizards by a good amount
do you not see how this makes no sense? you can't just say "they exist" and not have them play any part in a plot in which they should definitely be located.
>>71655729
To be fair, all the wizards from the rest of Europe didn't give a fuck either.
Also, Voldy didn't really reveal he was the one in control of the Ministry of Magic till near the end of the last book, and by that point the Battle of Hogwarts was taking place and there wasn't enough time for any help to arrive.
>>71655843
all of this stuff is just a huge amount of missed opportunity is what I'm saying. jk rowling is a terrible writer in regards to forethought on plot movement, and it is really annoying for someone who cares about lore. she could have even stolen the whole assembling of the troops stuff from return of the king because it wasn't part of the movie, but instead over 90% of the world's wizards are strangely omitted from this story which directly concerns almost 100% of the world's wizards.
>>71644579
He did manage to screw Slytherin out of the house cup though. Gotta give him that.
>>71655947
>which directly concerns almost 100% of the world's wizards
Does it? Voldemort's coup only affected Britain. Maybe if he started invading other countries once his powerbase within the country was well stablished you could say the issue concerned 100% of the world's wizards, but at the point in which Voldy's reign came to an end it wasn't such a serious issue.
>>71655995
Don't start it.
>>71656016
the poor writing doesn't really explain his motivations, but I think it's implied he wants to take over the world and merge the wizarding world and the muggle world to control the muggle world through the wizarding world's power.
an alternate version of harry potter where voldemort wins would probably be similar to how world war 2 happened but with wizards as the primary combatants I'm guessing.
>>71656110
That's why I was mentioning that.
Voldy's coup could be compared with Hitler's rise to power in Germany,
Till he actually tried to conquer the rest of the world, all the other countries would be wary and don't do shit.
>>71643676
>>71643761
>>71650845
You know he's right.
Harry Potter is a kid's book. All the villains are amusingly clumsy and generally don't follow the path of least resistance.
It would've been easy to get a few expensive mercs to do Potter in.
Bu...but muh magic.
>>71656138
good and evil wizards in harry potter are really black or white though, unlike the german state of politics where the communists and the national socialists were vying for control.
the rest of the world would have definitely known voldemort if they were at all connected with British wizards. voldemort's re-emergence would definitely be a huge warning sign for the entirety of the world and not just the local wizards.
>>71650827
Can't wizards teleport essentially?
>He-who-shall-not-be-named
This was a blatant ripoff from Tolkien. Faramir and Gondorians referred to Sauron as he-who-we-do-not-name
>>71656426
Not naming scary things has been a thing since fucking forever.
People from the past thought mentioning evil spirits/demons's name could summon them, which is why Rowling did the "If you mention Voldemort his subordinates show up" thing.
>>71647745
>no avatar
>>71643676
Literally every magic system in existence has spells that easily protect magic users from non-magic attacks.
>>71643530
The Harry Potter universe is full of holes.
Any wizard wanting to assassinate all the world leaders could do so in a matter of minutes by apparating and then death curse Bullshit.
Also if that old lady can turn an inanimate object into a cat, imagine how many Godzillas you could make.
The power level really does not make sense. Because since its "magic" at some point you can make any shit possible. Like disarming nukes with a spell or some tomfuckery.
>>71656886
World leaders don't really matter to wizards though, they all live pretty much separately
>>71656886
Probably because it was never a powerlevels story?
HP was good for few books because it was just silly magical adventures. When it became all serious it also became shit.
>>71643761
dude imagine doing that freaky smoke flying shit Voldy does in the middle of a hurricane out in the Pacific and just tossing a horcrux and watching this hectic storm rage around you.
That'd be a fucking holiday I'd go on.

Although to be fair it is a brilliant idea to contain and watch the budding evil wizards into one house as opposed to let them seed anonymously in other houses. In fact I think thats the entire reason the house was founded.

I guess you forgot that Slytherin contains a disproportionate amount of Purebloods. Meaning their parents are all old money, wealthy, well-connected, and influential in government and society in general. Just look at how much pull Draco's father had in the early books/movies, he was able to get Dumbledore removed from the school in Chamber of Secrets based on nothing more than his personal clout with the board of directors.
>>71652155
All of those places (save for the old house) had insane amounts of magical protection.
Just dumping the shit in the ocean and saying bon voyage wouldn't help.
One powerful Accio sunken treasure horcrux and its over.
>>71655059
Not really. His biggest issue was having to hide from Dumbledore. The Greatest Wizard that ever lived. And never believed he was gone. And he feared. And was always looking for any sign of his return.
Otherwise he would have possessed the first wizard he could and done the shit he needed himself.
>>71655947

They can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want when we're talking about S tier wizards like dumbledore, voldemort, Grindelwald
They probably shit out new spells in their spare time and just change the fundamentals of casting spells if they feel like it

>>sole goal in life is to kill a 14yo boy
not specifically 14, he tries to kill him in several books. A boy who is prophesised to be the one to kill him. Who in the last book starts taking away that which makes him immortal. Of course he'd go after Harry.
Main problem I had was how the students only ever seem to use stupefy all the time and Harry uses some weak spell in his final confrontation with Voldemort instead of trying to kill him.
