Imagine if you could move ten times faster then you can now... do you think you'd be able to throw an object before someone said "please don't throw that!" (or something along those lines)? So if Captain America can throw his shield before Harry can react, it comes down to how fast he can throw his shield... and he has thrown his shield fast enough to intercept both missiles and bullets. That's mach speeds.
Caps not tossing a shield 500 meters in under a second man...
Prep time
Neither side receives any notable prep time before the starting bell unless the thread starter specifies it. Neither side may take any offensive or defensive actions before the starting bell. Planning is allowed and powers that are automatic or 'always on' can be up, but actions such as setting up forcefields, taking flight, or consciously activating powers is not. For example, Batman cannot shove together an 'anti-Avengers ray' before the fight.
So choosing the actions you're going to take before the fight both start. Including selecting the spell or choosing to throw the sheild.
We still have no proof that Cap can get the leverage, throw, have the sheild travel in time to hit Harry.
Even if there's a "limited" area of effect, I really don't see it being large enough at those speeds.

only because you did not acknowledge the fact that vibranium absorbs magic.😛
Leaving the field
Combatants who leave the field of combat on purpose forfeit the match.
Repello Muggletum (Muggle-Repelling Charm)
Pronunciation: reh-PELL-loh MUG-ul-tum or MUGG-gleh-tum or mugg-GLEE-tum (IPA: /ɹə.ˈpɛl.əʊ ˈmʊ.¨Àl.ˌtʌm/ or /ˈmʊ.¨Àlə.tʌm/ or /mʊ.ˈ¨Àli.tʌm/)
Description: Keeps Muggles away from wizarding places by causing them to remember important meetings they missed and to cause the Muggles in question to forget what they were doing.
Seen/Mentioned: Mentioned in Quidditch Through the Ages as being used to keep Muggles away from the Quidditch World Cup. Hogwarts was also said to be guarded by the Muggle-Repelling Charm. It is also used by Harry and Hermione on numerous occasions, among many other spells, to protect and hide their camp site in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Well, I guess I'll drop my "cap strikes Harry Potters pressure points" argument.
A cap Dur would be kind of cool ermm
Originally posted by srankmissingninAre you supposing that the vibranium alloy absorbs any and all kinetic energy in its vicinity regardless of contact. In which case it would just fall to the ground when Captain America tried to throw it...
A sonic boom is created the moment the obect accelerates past the speed of sound. So, for the moment in time at least, the shield would still be moving at speed comparable to the speed of sound. Vibranium is aoe in its absorption of mechanical energy, so direct contacted wouldn't be needed.So... what... we need to be given measurements now to make an educated guess on how fast something is traveling? If I see a scan of Spider-man dodging machine gun fire can I say "prove those bullets are moving in excess of mach speeds?"
On another note that I still don't think has been addressed that well:
That's Wembley stadium. Multiply the distance between the goals by 5 and we have the distance between the two. Can someone post something to indicate that they'd even be able to see each other at the start of the match?
On the topic, however, after having some time to think about it, I do think that Potter would win given the stipulations and after watching a few of the films. It's unrealistic to believe that Cap can toss his shield half a kilometer and strike Harry before he can react, and he only needs a few moment to conjure a couple spells. Then Cap is in trouble.
