Oh, great. Sarcasm.
It would great, if that would only be used if there were some reason to do so. Hagrid, when coming to take Harry to Hogwarts, defines "muggle" with the words "Non-magic folk." Is Superman a magical creature or equiped with magical abilities. No. Does he, because of that, fall in the "non-magic folk" category. I think so.
Suggesting anything else is - plain and simple - bias based on a stupidly attempt to argue semantics. I could just as well ask why we should assume that punches capable of knocking the moon away should kill a Wizard, because we never see it happening. Way to go.
Them casting Muggle repelling charms over their camp.
Well. Go and watch the movie. Educate yourself on the topic you wish to discuss. They are using three different spells to protect their campsites: "Cave inimicum", "Repello Muggletum" and "Salvio Hexia". The effect is, that Hermione in one scene is, literally, standing face to face with one Snatcher, and he's not capable of seeing her.
Superman can hit it at the speed of light with his continent-lifting strength. Can you show that the barrier is capable of repelling that level of force?
Cool. He will impact against a barrier fed by a mystical energy which power we can not grasp, and that he won't be prepared to hit at all. I wonder what happens. Can you proof that he will break through? Wow. That was easily debunked using Neph-style-logic.
I dunno. I havn't actually bothered to watch the latest in the Harry Potter ass-cakes. Perhaps someone else will be kind enough to mention whether is is mentioned?
We just see Harry auto-raising his wand and fire a precise counter spell on Voldemort, that makes Voldemorts wand explode. Voldemort later just mentions that he needs a more powerful wand in order to be able to kill Potter. But there is no explanation exactly.
So? Did it hit Pettigrew at all
Wand. Behind his back. Pointing at the ground. He fires a spell that blows a crater into the street deep enough to reveal the sewer and kill 12 people in the process. How should it not have hit him exactly?
You don't think that the thing being made of kryptonite may have weakened him a tinsy bit? And just because a character doesn't do something, doesn't mean he can't. What exactly is stopping Supermn from using superstrength and speed at the same time?
Oh. Cool. So your proof for him being capable at utilizing super speed and strength at the same time is "oh. Just because he didn't that doesn't mean he can't."
*Applause*
He's bloodlusted. He'll go for the overkill method.
Oh, well. In this case, Voldemort solos.
"I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt, if I want..." - Tom Riddle, 11 years old, Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince
So Voldemort just thinks about bad things and tremendous pain occuring in the lives of Superman, Hancock and the two other punks, et voilà, the quartet lies on the ground of the school, winding under magical induced crucio-esque pain, against which they have no defense. Wizards win.
If you want to argue that: "Just because he didn't do it in the movies, doesn't mean he can't!"
So he doesn't know the abilities of the wizards according to you, but they know his and Hancocks exact weaknesses? Yeah, that makes sense.
Oh. I was just attempting to lower myself to the level the discussion is occuring on. Since the Wizards are already jumped by a being capable of moving at lightspeed, that simple ignores all defenses crafted around the school to "speed blitz" anybody inside, including that part of the collegium / students hidden away in some arbitrary remote locations covered up with magic (e.g. the common rooms of the houses, room of requirement), I thougt at least something would be there in favor for the Wizards.
Or is this just another "Spite against HP Wizards" thread, that doesn't deserve anyone wasting his time with it, beyond "LOLZ. Wizards are screwed!!!!11111oneoneeleven".
