Why didn't they just shoot Voldemort?
>>
because then it would be over in 1 ''''''film''''''''

Because it's for children not pedophiles
>>
It's Bongistan, no guns
>>
>>70470400
Yeah, but isn't there some form of underground society based on guns made by gun-people which muggles don't know about?
>>
Because it's the 'muggles' way, and it's suppose to be showing the aristocratic bourgeois use of the decadente before their inevitable fall to technology, as the Smartphone devices become prevalent just after Voldemort's demise.

How they defend mudbloods as being equal is in total contrast to their segregation of muggles is directly related to racism. They're all racists and Harry and his crew are just the less racists, except for his overbearing hatred of the his muggle family and to that extension muggle life as we know it.

This includes muggle technology, like TV and Guns.

Well because then it wouldn't be one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises, Dylan. 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!" I shout
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.

IRL the relative ease of training people to shoot vs training them to use magic would make guns the standard tactical weapon in wizard wars, with magic being used almost exclusively for recon and logistics. guns would be enchanted to make them magic-resistant.

In every fight in the books the side that uses guns instead of wands would have won easily. In the shootout in the archive everyone takes multiple shots and gets up and keeps fighting. Casts from wands have travel time, they are so slow you can literally dodge them. They can't be cast instantly you have to say the words. Imagine if you got in a gunfight with another group of people but every time they had to fire a bullet before they could pull the trigger they had to yell "Stupify!" or "Cruciatus!" before each bullet would fire.

John Wick or Jason Borne would take out all of the death eaters in one fight just rolling around using headshots and shooting people when they came around corners.

You have to understand that the reason most of the retards here hate Rand is because of demographics. Look at 4chan in general, almost everyone here come from a bourgeoisie upbringing and quite frankly are, or either are close to being NEETS; utter losers who have very limited life experience and responsibilities. They are so absorbed with politically extreme leftist ideals that one cannot have a rational discussion with them (I harbor various left wing leanings myself, but there is a difference between talking to a moderate and an extremist).

The young men I know who like Ayn Rand are admittedly arrogant and self-absorbed, but they are determined, intelligent and motivated individuals (Businessmen and Doctors). I do not mind Rand myself nor do I love her, I will not discuss too much of myself but I'll just say that I am rather far off being a NEET. Think the liberal feminist meme you see going around. Yeah, those are the people that disagree with Rand (The majority of people who hate her have never read her books, they just accept and repeat the culture of memes).

something that always bugged me

in the end of the last movie, when they were struggling to fight Voldermarts snake

one of them at a point throws a large rock at it, it hits it and hurts it

Why didn't they just keep throwing larger rocks at it? You can kill a snake with a rock. I just laughed as a pictures a bunch of these wizard kids pelt this giant snake to death with rocks.

You forgot nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

Rand is the worst kind of bourgeois garbage pandering to sentimental egoism. It's American philosophical folk art: a jumbled mess of cultural memes of economic and spiritual self-determination supported by inane tautologies (hurr A=A therefore property rights).

And I should know, since I used to be a randroid before I grew the fuck up and realized I wasn't right about everything and how much I depended on those around me.

I never said guns are better for a fantasys film

I said guns are better

the implication was that guns are better than wands for killing

>>

Crocodile.

but in seriousness, you would turn back in to a human for going on to land.

Not only does it not make sense that nobody just shot Voldemort, it actually makes him a completely incompetent villain. His ultimate plan is to take over the wizard world so he can exterminate the muggles, but guess what happens the second ol' egghead and his army of several hundred deatheaters marches into a major city and starts killing people? The police will come and fucking shoot him.

There really should have been an explanation. One line somewhere. "He cast a powerful curse on himself so non-magical weapons have no effect." There, problem solved. But no, the answer is literally just that nobody fucking thought of it and even if he does win the wizarding war his whole cabal is just going to get leveled by a fucking pistol.
>>
>>70485086
There was an explanation.

He had horcruxes.

these a reason he infiltrated the government; he knew he'd lose an outright war with the muggles.

Think of Jews in the media, that would be his sort of war.

So they are all basically retarded. Save Harry because he wasn't brainwashed and Hermione and other muggleborns

The point is that the opportunities are endless.

well if I might hazard an opinion guns have limited ammo, can be slower than spells, and just aren't as effective

also only dark wizards would use them since most wizards don't want to kill other ones

and dark wizards have avada kedavra which can't be blocked

really there's no reason to use guns unless you want to snipe someone or drop a nuke

>>

Oh I agree with you.

But even if they marched into open battle the muggles would get fucked. Because Voldemort can field an army of actual zombies all on his own, and for every muggle-city he attacks his forces would grow. Guns would be fucking useless, unless you've got a sniper positioned perfectly to take a pot-shot at Voldemort, in the hope that he hasn't cast a protective spell against projectiles.

Can easily dodge a Avada Kedavra, as Harry does from book 4 onwards, fair enough you can't block it but it's not traveling as fast as a bullet.

Ammo is a legit point.

Guns would be great against wizards, but not perfect.

Nukes are targeted at population centres and strategic locations, not the places Voldemort would hang out. And they've got magic that makes muggles actually ignore an area, coupled with protection charms. They'd be sitting cozy while the muggles wipe themselves out.
