The most important word in that sentence is "should". Soljer was banking on half a k being enough of a distance for Harry to get a spell off before Cap puts him down... but it isn't. Cap's shield would, not should, would clear that in a fraction of a second. Harry isn't going to have enough to think "oh shit, I'm about to get hit by a shield" let alone cast a spell.

Then, we also would have to figure out whether Harry's rudimentary (compared to Marvel/DC Magicians) magic would work on Captain America's shield.
Hmmm...
Give me one good reason why i shouldnt close this, and i wont... 😬

ha ha i figured. Harry at half a kilometer away would win. It doesn't matter if cap can throw his shield at missile speeds. It would still be enough time for harry to yell protego or something. Besides he doesn't even have to yell the spell, he can just think and mean it in his mind. Thinking is faster than physical reaction. There would be too many ways for cap to lose at half a kilometer away.
BTW Harry is 36 at the end of the 7th book (19 years pass in the epilogue).
Besides Harry is owner of the Deathly Hollows so he can't die, but I think the thread topic took away Harry's immortality for the fight. But if knocking the person unconscious means victor I guess immortality wouldn't matter.

So it is a spite thread then, in favour of Harry?
Well if killing the person is the way to win and Harry has the Deathly hollows... yes.
At half a kilometer away i really dont see captain america winning much, if any.
At ten feet away i really don't see harry winning much if any.
Probably a distant between the two might make a good battle, assuming Harry doesn't have the Deathly Hollows.

Alright, against my better judgement, i'll leave it open for now...
Originally posted by srankmissingninCaptain America likely wins because spells and hexes can be dodged as already mentioned. But define fraction of a second. Because even if I take you to mean .99 s it still means you're under the impression he can throw a shield at Mach 1.5; if I take you to mean something along the lines of .1 seconds it means you're under the impression he can throw his shield at Mach 15.

ok by the time cap lets go of the sheild harry could have said expelliaramos or however you spell it or accio shield or just have thought either one in his mind and the shield would no longer be a factor. then harry would use protego totalum which would protect and conceive himself. Now that he's invisible he sneaks up on cap since he can't be detected and cap doesn't have a spider sense and mutters the crutaceos curse causing cap pain and before cap is done reacting to the pain harry avada kedevra's his ass ftw.
