Well the logical point of the thread would then be "how you'd you go about beating Potter up..?" or "What would you do to repell his melee attacks...?"
Basing it on shown H2H or melee feats that Potter has.
Fair enough. But only if he could sustain the cricket ball to the happy sack and continue. (Dunno about you, but I probably couldnt even say my own name after that, let alone cast spells.)

Considering the wizards considered Sirius Black to be "extremely dangerous" or something to that extent, because he was carrying a gun, I'd say I could kick Harry Potter's ass. Heck yeah.

Not my ass he doesn't. Why do you give into to his rapings so easily?How long does it take a ball that moves at 70-100mph to clear that distance?
Of course that's after its thrown. Now as you're setting up to make sure that you throw it like that (full rotation for full power) he could still get off a spell.

Because he has spells that take less than a second to cast and hits it's target. One sectumsempra and you're done, unless you're a bullet timer.
What ball?
Originally posted by Sadako of GirthI'm an ex-ballplayer, dude. I was a catcher and could throw a frozen rope to 2nd in my sleep. There's no way in hell I could nail Harry with a baseball from 33 feet before he spells me. Hell, there's no way in hell a major league baseball player could either. Not to mention Harry can easily dodge it.
😛I'm British: We ALL have them. 😖hifty:
There are far more feasible options for weapons. Is it just no firearms, is that the rule here?

Have you ever thrown a cricket ball..?Thats the way I read it, yes. I was thinking about a crossbow, also.
I've hefted one, never thrown one. A ball's a ball, really. I could replicate the frozen rope feat with a softball or even a tennis ball.
Crossbow is a good choice, but to make things fair, you wouldn't be able to have it aimed at Harry. Both of you would be standing with your weapons in hand, not aimed, at your sides, and a crossbow only has one shot. Risky. Plus a protego is gonna block any bolt/bullet/whatever you fire at him.
Your best bet is to have a weapon that can rapid fire and is lightweight with no recoil. Funny as it sounds, I'd choose a paintball gun. Fire away non stop with like 200 paintballs, over and over, advancing as you go, it MIGHT distract him enough to get close enough for cqc.
But that wouldn't work either. Remember poor Aunt Marge?

Who says you cant aim at Harry...? Gimping attempt.
This would be like saying "Harry cant start unless hes blindfolded."
But that wouldn't work either. Remember poor Aunt Marge?
Nope. A cricket ball is WAY heavier, smoother and more dense than a soft ball/tennis ball. You get one of them land on you at speed, its pain/broken bones time. And their travel, speed and accuracy, is all part of its secret.
This is again quite different in size, shape mass, air resistance and velocity to etc to a football, as you guys call it, for example..
So nope. I guess a "balls not a ball" after all.
