Harry Potter Operation: Annihilate

[Lonestar]

After watching Chamber of Secrets a thought ocurred to me as I thought about the movie. You have an elitist society of magic users, closed, insular, and potentially extremely dangerous. A special forces strike against Hogwort's would presumably cripple magic using society and ensure that muggles are not enslaved or made into second class citizens by the magic using elite.

(Obviously, this is also influenced by X2)


So is the assault on Hogwort's something that could happen in a Real World scenario or implaussible?

If that fails, my back up plan is to use UAVs to get around those anti-muggle spells.

You'd have to hit the Ministry of Magic simultaneously, which seems like a rather tall order considering its security. Also, how would you deal with magic users and schools in other countries? Wiping out Hogwarts won't do you any good if it brings the wrath of the international wizarding community down upon all our muggle heads.

I could probably take out the entire Harry Potter crew with my Level 8/12 Jedi Guardian from Knights of the Old Republic

[Drake Tungsten]

I doubt it. McGonagall would transfigure your lightsaber into a wooden spoon faster than you can say "quidditch".

[David Floyd]

I don't NEED a lightsaber. I'd just use my force powers to levitate his ass, put him in a stasis field, and just shoot him.

[Urban Ranger]

You can't shoot somebody when he's in stasis.

[Drake Tungsten]

Besides, force powers are notorious slow-acting. Magic in the Potterverse is quick and deadly, OTOH. I doubt you'd get their feet off the ground before you were writhing in pain from the Cruciatus curse.

[David Floyd]

In Baldur's Gate you can't, in KOTOR it works a little different. I distinctly remember levitating people and shooting them. Maybe it wasn't Stasis, but it'll still work on that wannabe McGonagall.

[David Floyd]

Force powers are slow acting? I dunno, force choking people works pretty fast, and if you're choking then you aren't going to be able to chant, and there goes all your Harry Potter powers.

[Drake Tungsten]

You don't have to say anything to perform some spells in the Potterverse. Besides, even if you can choke one person out before they get you, what are you going to do about the hundreds of other wizards gunning for you while you're focusing the force on your opponent's trachea?

[David Floyd]

Oh, your mistake. The higher level force powers can be used against lots of people. You must be confusing my character with a lowly Padawan.

**** it. I'm going to sleep.

[Drake Tungsten]

The higher level force powers can be used against lots of people.

I don't think this is canon.

nerdiest thread ever!

It's all irrelevant anyway, because the definition of the spell cast on Hogwarts is that it cannot be found by muggles. It is, theoretically, impossible. Sort of like apparating in and out of Hogwarts.

Honestly, you guys never even glanced at "Hogwars: A History", did you???

Screw it! Just nuke England, that should get rid of the lot of them. Europe too while were at it.
