Harry's virtues forced Voldemort out but Albus clearly failed. You said he tried protecting him but he was unable to. Fact.
Read the rules, liar. The books can't be used here. Stick to the films. I've repeatedly told you this so its a sign of a lack of respect for the movie forum to continuously cry about the books and Rowling.
No, it can't and we know his knowledge is ignorant with regards to kill curses, advanced magic, and Voldemort at that point. Hermione is factual based on her studied but not things she has no idea about aka Harry on Voldemort.
Movie versions only. Rules, fanboy.
I know these things already. I've used this evidence already. This only further proves my point even with the elder wand it doesn't make up for any power or skill. Very close rivals almost equal yet one had the elder wand the other didn't. The one who didn't have the elder wand was the victor.
Do I really need to post the video of dumbledore and voldemorts battle and dumbledores firestorm.
Excuses. Point is Harry force him out. Also no one can defend against that, that's why he had snape teach him occlumency. So he did what he needed to do. He protected Harry throughout their duel and he aided Harry in pushing voldemort out.
Books can be used if their is ever a question that needs to be answered. For example the movie never answers, what happened to grindlewald, who killed Tonks and lupin, where did the sword of gryffindor come from, what happened to the kids after hogwarts, etc. The books can be called in if questions are needed. Versus threads feats from the movies dont count. So with that JK Rowling does count as she was THE creative consultant for all 8 films, producer for the last 2 films, and a very impactful occupations for all the films other than creative consultant.
Well if we go to the quote of Ron, "she knows more about you than you". She may not be just the expert on voldemort but the fact that in her first year she knows who voldemort is, and that he always feared dumbledore she definitely has at the very least a basic understanding and at the most an intermediate knowledge. Also Harry is the direct voice of Rowling as that is the main character, and he says dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world, not knowing his power, like you say he doesn't know voldemorts power. So his statement stands to reason that dumbledore is greater.
It isn't helping you since you are losing this debate so.
