That has to be the best purposely irritating line ever written in any book, ever. So much so that I nearly wish to kill you for even quoting it."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier -

Yes it is. If not in the movies, certainly in the Extended Universe books, which are considered canon.I don't think this is canon.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Ha, they'd whip your ass faster than you can say 'May the Force be with you'. All they'd have to do is to leave you in a full body lock (remember Neville in tSS). Without a wand you couldn't counter curse, or block it. You may get them levitating and then they'd simply lock you down... that is if they wanted to be nice.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

"Doesn't anyone here read Hogwarts: A History?"
In Book 4 they explain why none of this would work. Muggle machines don't work around Hogwarts.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

HP universe would totally dominate a one-on-one fight with the Star Wars univers. Yet, if their was an all out war? The Death Star could destroy planets!!! Last I heard HP people couldn't travel through to space to excape such destruction...
This is so god-awfully nerdy, why do I even bother?

Bah. When Great Cthulhu rises, his followers will storm the gates of Hogwart. Wizard and Muggle alike will be feasted upon. What is the majicks of a child compared to the cosmic power, the maddening thousand century old geometry, of beings from beyond the stars? When the Old Ones are released from their slumber, Harry Potter will be swept aside like a fly before a supernova.
That is not dead which can eternal lie!
And after strange aeons, even death may die!Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

Very true... in a war, Star Wars wins. In one-on-one, Harry Potter universe wins. While the Force is cool and all, it just isn't as power as the generic fantasy magic.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Doubtful. Him and Dumbledore would have the mother of all standoffs.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Freddy Krueger would probably lose in the end, but it would make a fun movie: Freddy vs. Harry!Comment

Wouldn't use of the force declassify you as a Muggle? I think the Jedi would fall into the Wizarding community not the muggle community.Comment

Why would destroying Hogwarts kill magic?
There are 2 other known schools of magic.
I'm sure there is at least 1 in the Americas......
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment
