A muggle is a non-magical being. End of definition.
And HP owls are clearly magical animals, provided they are able to find anybody they have to deliver messages to, regardless of where the person currently is.
I don't like it either but it seems to be the way this forum works.
"What is seen on screen is canon in these forums. If your character you wish to use has feats/actions/handicaps that contradict what that character did on screen (movie canon), then it is a violation and is illegal."
To me, this seems to imply that, if there are feats for the character outside movie canon that do not contradict his movie feats, they are allowed.
That is not what Hagrid says. Far more likely he is outraged that the Dursley's gave them such an unheroic death when in truth they went out in a blaze of glory.
You're right. He says something of that sort in the German version. Not that it matters, provided that, given the car crash that does happen at the beginning of Chamber of Secrets (Ron and Harry crashing into the whomping willow), it's quite obvious that such an event wouldn't do that much to Wizards, isn't it?
We both know this was due to the Harry/Voldemort conection and not something that Harry will be able to replicate agianst other opponents. Which is why Voldemort is looking for the Elder Wand.
Is that stated in the movie? No. So why do we utilize our "book knowledge" here and leave it out of the equation at any other point?
It appears to me at least Voldemort does that not the wand exploding. Regardless surving an explosion that can knock over power poles does not mean he will survive a punch from Superman who can move the moon.
Because Superman, entirely unaware of what Wizards are capable of, will punch each of them with that amount of power?
Is it ever stated that he blew a hole in the ground? Or that this hole was at his feet? And finally that this curse that blew the hole also killed the bystanders?
Yes. By Sirius, when he explains what has really happened in the Shrieking Shack, if I'm not totally mistaken.

As ares pointed out, Superman is not human, so he isn't actually a muggle. Also, is that just in the books? I can't recall such a scene in the movies. But if you can post it, I'll drop the point.
For all intent and purpose, Superman simply counts as muggle, as he doesn't have magical abilities. End of story. And what scene from the movies would you like to have?
Indeed. However, Superman can deal out quite a bit more than they can, so it won't be able to stop him.
This begs for proof, as you're trying to compare a mystical energy field with the powers of Superman.
Movie feats only, as this is a movie only forum.
Cool. How fast can Superman move exactly according to the movies?
None of which is even in the same ballpark as what Superman can do to them.
See above.
The wand thing was because of the unique bond between Harry and Voldemort, which is teh whole plot of teh movie. And the explosion is nowhere close to Superman's capablities. I'm not sure if it was in the movie (I'll check later), but Pettigrew blew up everything behind him only.
Is that unique bond mentioned as cause of what happened, otherwise we go by the "movie only" rule and don't get any explanation for it. I can remove the context of everything too, if it serves my argument, much like you do.
And Peter Pettigrew blew a hole into the street with the wand behind his back, then transformed into a rat and escaped through the sewers. The point: That explosion was huge enough to kill at least 12 people in the process.
He's bloodlusted, so he'll be using his powers to their greatest extent in order to kill his opponents as swiftly as possible.
This doesn't fly. Either he is doing anything at superspeed or with greatest possible strength. Both together don't work, as seen when he lifts the kryptonite continent into space. And why would he even try to strike with force beyond that needed to kill a regular human being, if he's unaware of the abilities of those Wizards?
And what happens if some of them summons a nice chunk of kryptonite or Hancocks girl or hits either of them with an Imperius curse (which has been used against persons invisible to the caster).
