It's magical in nature so I could see the argument being made for that having a effect on Human Torch, but I agree entirely with the comparison. You could also throw water at Aquaman.
Well to be fair, you can "throw" water on a regular person and it wouldn't hurt...
"goddess of death" is just a name - unlike Thor, she doesn't display any powers embodying death, decay, corruption etc. Aside from the comics/Norse mythology reference, her name probably comes from her enjoyment/adeptness at killing people (Odin's "executioner").
I see no reason why AK wouldn't affect Hela *unless* her level of sorcery is higher than that of the HP-verse.
If one really wanted to make an argument, then we should all be reminded that the writers decided to get cute in the first movie, where Thor states magic does not exist, and it is only "science" not yet understood (or something along those lines).

There's no evidence that the obedience disk is electricity based. By the way, if you actually look at the definition of science, magic as seen in the MCU and other fictional universes would easily qualify.

The obedience disks weren't electricty based. Electricity was involved, but it seemed to be some sort of fast acting poison/paralytic agent similar to getting tased. Because getting tased doesn't cause your veins to turn blue and stick out of your skin.
Also, Thor said Asgardian "magic" is simply tech so advanced it seems like magic to humans. He never said magic isn't real, because that would mean Fenris, Surtur, etc... are all science based. And they're not.
IIRC, He actually said that your ancestors called it magic, you call it science. To Asgardians it's one and the same.
Thor never said magic doesn't exist or that Asgardians don't use it. In fact, in every subsequent example its referred to as magic, spells or something they were taught.

Hela straight up brings ancient Asgardian soldiers and Fenris back to life by corrupting the Eternal Flame with her own powers. How is that not displaying any powers over death?
But let's be honest, Voldemort gets a sword through his gut before he realizes what's going on. Hela was fast as shit compared to other Asgardians. Voldemort couldn't land hits on Harry.
Not to mention the AK isn't foolproof, at least 2 people have survived it.
