Harry Potter vs Army of the Dead

Doesn't really matter if so, so the wizards are able to vanish or destroy ghost, they'll still get overtaken and quickly. Remember how fast the undead army took out the Sauron's forces, they move like a fast swarm.

These ghost can also turn themselves invisible.

Yeah, one ghost gone? Guess what, 30 more just stabbed you.

Also, are the ghosts in HP cursed ghosts? I think there may be a difference, since ghosts from a curse are not able to leave that (i will call it) plane of existance until their task is done.

Holy ****ing curbstomp Batman!

Wait, so if a teleporter can jump anywhere they want (Jumper, Wizards, etc), they can't? That's limiting their powers. That's like me saying "Hey, in this thread, a Jedi can only use the force this much", or "Preston can only use Gun Kata this much.

Running away from a versus fight defeats the entire point of a versus fight. 😐

Don't the wizards have spells that can attack multiple targets?

Not really. The ghosts in HP are just ghosts, not cursed ones. Those who turn into ghosts in the HP universe are either afraid of death or have strong connections to the places they haunt.

Then the curse on the Army of the Dead may make them harder to take out, because they are being held there by strong magic already.

And I imagine it would take a specific spell to kill one, and they cant just spam it, especially if the ghosts are invisible and are surrounding them by several square miles.

What are the chances that the wizards can keep the Army of the Dead at bay by using the Patronus Charm?

Depends on if they can keep it up indefinately. They will also have to eat and drink sometime, which the Dead wont.

I think this is somewhat of a one sided thread. I mean cmon. They're intangible. And i dont see how a patronus would work. Its a manifestation of happy thoughts. Also can be used as a messenger. Other than that it doesn't really do anything. It just repels dementors. Thats its only purpose.

So it repels only Dementors? It can't keep anything else away? Oh well.

Yeah its just happines or a manifestation therofe. I dont remember a time when it was used otherwise and thats the way it was explained initially in the books and in the movies.

I disagree:

"TACTICAL RETREAT!"

-The Alien from HSDK

And, anyway, teleporting out of the reach of someone's offense is not out of ring. It's the same thing as dodging a punch but scaled up for more powerful players. Preventing teleporters from teleporting to their full-potential is and will always be a form of gimp. It's removing a legitimate power/advantage that they have. They could teleport away, find a bomb, arm it, teleport the bomb, drop it, and win. That's a tactical retreat.

The wizards can't actually defeat the Army, but they won't be killed by them either. Don't forget the ghost king's line from Return of the King:

"The Dead do not apparate."

Or something similar anyway.

lol at apparating inside the school.

Basilisk is the only chance for the Wizards, if it's even alive. Otherwise the Wizards will just have to hide in the room of requirement or something.

That would be utilising something outside of their own powers, abilities and standard equipment. It would be like Darth Vader calling down a Star Destroyer to help him in a fight. Or Kirk getting beamed up to the Enterprise and then blasting the crap out of the opponent. Or... 🙄 Harry Potter apparating to the ministry, getting some time turners, chilling in the hall of prophecies, sipping some luck potion and then returning to the fight. Teleporting away to get a bomb? That isn't a testamount to the characters strength, but just to some random bombs. It doesn't represent the powers of the character but rather that of the setting they exist in. Besides which 'teleport away, find a bomb, arm it, teleport the bomb, drop it, and win.' That takes waaay too long. If they do that then how the eff is it still even a fight? They'd both change location ( I doubt the opponent would stand there twiddling his thumbs waiting for them to come back 😬 ) so they'd have to actually look for each other, neither of them are in direct physical conrontation and neither of them are actually fighting anymore.

Also the word 'retreat' intrinsically denotes a ceaseation of fighting.

Yeah unless the wizards can release the Ghosts of their obligation, like Aragorn did, then the papers the next morning would have headlines like:

"MASS WIZARD SCHPINCTER EXPANSION ASSAULT"
or
"WIZARDS RAPED BY UNSEEN FORCES EN MASSE"
or
"WIZARDS SHIT THEMSELVES AND APPARATE AWAY FOR FRESH KECKS"

Vader vs Voldemort. Fight takes place on Mustafar. BUT Vader had full access to the force only in a certain area.

Actually the papers would probably say:

"THE DARK LORD IS DEAD YAY!!! THANK YOU GHOSTS!"

That'd be in 'The Sun'. 😛

K, try this for a vs. fight:

As long as the area isn't smaller than the area they were fighting in, thats fine by me.

You'd be cool with that?
