is this stated in the movie?
I just had a thought. Magical spells are energy based, right? The manipulation of energy? Well, plasma weapons, i.e. blaster rifles, are also energy based. Now, if magic is the manipulation of energy, and plasma weapons are energy based, seems that a simple protego charm will shield a wizard against a blaster bolt. Lay down a Protego totalum and nothing gets through, not even blaster bolts.

There's no point, you'd just continue twisting and crying for changes until it favours your pick. You cried about having Dementors when there wasn't any, you cried about the clone armour being shit, you cried to have prep for only your side etc. etc. etc., there's no reason to believe you'd stop now.

Going by your actions, it's completely true.
As further proof, look at what you just did above. You previously said "only magic can counter magic" (where do you get this fact from?), now you're claiming that magic can counter blaster bolts because they're both energy, so logically, it'd work both ways, not just to the advantage of the side you want, so the clones could then blast the portals to shit. You have zero objectivity in these threads, friend.

energy has different forms and states. its a no-limit fallacy to assume that because it blocked one type of energy it can block all of the tons of others.
Is that a joke? Have yous seen the movies? Mr weasly is looking at his watch when he is counting down for the portkey because he knows when it will leave. Harry and cedric had a whole conversation about touching it at the same time so that they would tie. Its what got cedric killed because harry was supposed to win.
i read the books and i know thats how it works in the books. i was asking if the movies stated the same thing.

Originally posted by WO PolaskiSo an energy bolt is more powerful than an energy spell? In OOTP, Sirius casts a spell that hurls a death eater backards ten feet. Thats some powerful ass shit. If protego totalum can block that, surely it can block a blaster bolt.

... what does power have to do with anything? i didnt say blasters were more powerful i said that there are [different types of energy. so to assume that because this spell can block one type of energy it can block all types is a no-limit fallacy. power or potency has nothing to do with it.
and thats a poor example. a rock thrown at 50 miles an hour can knock someone farther back then a blaster bolt but that doesnt mean the rock is more powerful it just has greater kinetic energy.

Because one is based on science and the other on something illogical called "magic".
That aside, why is this cross-energy countering only in favour of the HP side? Why couldn't blasters then block spells and/or destroy spells?
Your bias is funny.

So in short:
Only magic can counter magic, but magic can counter blaster-fire because all energy is relative. (Where is it said that only magic can counter magic here?)
Just like I said, no reason to counter when you'll just continue the biased nonsense.
