You vs Harry Potter

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.

Cricket balls have never pinged in all of cricket history.

And considering it'd impact with Potter likely before he could complete the spell, I'd consider it dead wizard time again.

But cheer up, at least they stay alive under the protection of the allied forces against the losers of WW2, though. 🙂

And that win has to count still . 🙂

Well, whatever sound they make when bouncing off a magical shield.

You gotta wind up, aim, and throw it. Then there's flight time. You'll be spelled before you complete your windup.

Actually its one continuous arc of throwing that simultaneously propels.
Look up speedbowling.

The Aussies no doubt have tried gimping English speedbowling before Im sure, and look where it got THEM this week.

Dangers of cricket balls:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_ball

Cricket balls are notoriously hard and potentially lethal, hence today's batsmen and close fielders often wear protective headgear. Raman Lamba died when hit on the head while fielding at forward short leg in a club match in Bangladesh. Only two other cricketers are known to have died as a result of on-field injuries in a first-class fixture. Both were hit while batting: George Summers of Nottinghamshire on the head at Lord's in 1870; and Abdul Aziz, the Karachi wicket-keeper, over the heart in the 1958-59 Quaid-e-Azam final. Ian Folley of Lancashire, playing for Whitehaven in 1993, died after being hit.
Frederick, Prince of Wales is often said to have died of complications after being hit by a cricket ball, although in reality this is not true — although he was hit in the head by one, the real cause of his death was a burst abscess in a lung. Glamorgan player Roger Davis was almost killed by a ball in 1971 when he was hit on the head while fielding. The Indian batsman Nariman Contractor had to retire from the game after being hit by a ball on the head in the West Indies.
Indian Cricketer, Raman Lamba died of a cricket ball hit on his head in a club match in Dhaka. Lamba was fielding at short-leg without wearing a helmet, and the ball struck by batsman Mehrab Hossain hit him hard on his head and rebounded to wicket-keeper Khaled Mashud.
A cricket umpire died in 2009 in South Wales after being hit on the head by a ball thrown by a fielder.[2]
Numerous injuries are reported to health institutions, worldwide, in relation to cricket ball injuries including: occular (with some players having even lost eyes), cranial (head), dental (teeth), digital (fingers and toes) and testicular."

You're bringing a cricket ball into a fight with a dude who can freeze you in the blink of an eye.

Harry is a quittich seeker, he dodges bludgers with ease, a cricket ball will be much easier.

You have to wind up, aim, and throw it. Why do you ignore this?

AND there's the protego.

I know you hate HP, but dude, come on.

When did he freeze people with the blink of an eye...?
Nah. I didnt think so.
You just step forward and arc quick. You can get the ball off with venom, and it certainly would smash Harry's glasses into his face., Break his nose, KO him, Smash his face up etc.

Harry has NO prep and is caught by surprise..
The OP was clear on this.

By the time he sees the ball, its in his face and its over.

I dont hate Harry Potter at all. Im indifferent feeling about the subject.
I could just as easily say that you hate SW/McClane.

Would it necessarily make it so?

Commence combat. 😛

Well if he didn't know my intention handling potter would be easy indeed.

If he knows it, well begin behind him with a Bow or Crossbow aimed at his back, he second the bell rings fire away.

If I have to face him, lay out a rope where he is going to begin and the second the match begin pull the rope, make him fall, jump on him, 10 meters isn't that much. Basically with the setup mentioned in OP you can if you want to always find a way to defeat Harry Potter, hell get a car, maybe a hummer, and drive towards him, when your 10 meters from him the match will begin, harry on the windshield, etc...

Petrificus Totalus.

You gotta wind up and throw it, dude. If Harry can dodge bludgers, a cricket ball is easy.

I can't believe you would actually bring a cricket ball into this battle..

I know how much prep I can throw on, and believe me, Harry would barely notice what I was doing before he recieved leathery destruction.

The OP said to be creative, and thats why a cricket ball was bought in.

Try to keep up.

I don't know where the impression came from that Harry doesn't have his wand or magic, but he does. In both scenario's. What would be the point of making a thread of a bunch of adults vs a teenager in a fistfight? 😬

Though even though Harry gets his wand you get unlimited prep. Thats a fair fight imo.

No, they considered him extremely dangerous because they thought he blew someone to bits with a single spell.

... or hand cannon? 😖hifty:

gg. sir.

Shield charm, dude.

Again, deny it all you want, you'll be spelled before the ball leaves your hand.

So the human wizard with human reflexes, who has no warning as I surprise him and he has no prep, can assess the threat, make his mind up as regards at what to do with it, remember the name of an appropriate spell, raise his wand then taking the time it tales to say it, that I couldn't get my shot off in that time...? lol

It could make Harry miss even if by some miracle his teeth survive the impact enough for him to get a spell off, too.

All the dude'd see is a quick glimpse of my arm moving, for a split second, then concussion and a thousand stars and then bits of his glasses ripping though his eyes, and red darkness....

Then the beating/5 minutes of nutsack kicking would begin......which is justifiable, after coming at me with that wizard shit.

And a crossbow bolt through the throat would be just as effective.

He'll spell you before you toss the ball. He'll spell you before you raise, aim and fire the crossbow.

But hes surprised...!
And I could get a shot off from just above the hip and still catch him in the chest way quicker than he can aim with his wand and then say a word, after he's decided what to counter attack with, and what spell to use in order to make that happen..

And what part of the OP makes you think he's sitting there with his thumb up his ass singing "I'm an oscar meyer weiner?"

None. But I surprised him (He had zero prep) and he got his ass kerbstomped as a result of not being super human in reflexes, when mashed by a slyly delivered fast ball to the face.

Maybe he can humm the Oscar Meyer tune through his wired jam/face if it doesnt hurt too much afterwards as he recovers in hospital. 🙂
