So they're not fighting here now and trying to take over all of LA anymore, they're merely arriving and setting up a defense and waiting. Yet another change favoring the wizards. Shocking. Though I'm pretty sure wizards need to eat, drink, piss, shit and rest.
US military wins via no contest from the enemy. /thread

The US can get any non-nuclear airstrike, and I can guarantee you none of them can flatten 469 miles ([b]AFTER penetrating the shield) in single blow. The wizards win against a nukeless US army as proven.[/B]

Are you implying that the shield is now large enough to cover Los Angeles? Hahahahaaahhahahaahhahahahahaha, fanboy fantasies.

I'm glad you admit that your opinion isn't to be trusted as it's often wrong.

i suggest that 1 properly armed f-35 can take out pussypotterville on its own from 20 miles away 😉 maybe just let loose 3 or 4 a-10's and mini-gun the sissies.no nukes 😄
Those weren't in the movie so no...
Also, the F-35 is going to have a difficult time doing anything when it's grounded:

By contemporary science, you mean nukes, right? Because those aren't allowed here.
Also I see a lot of hooplah about "proof" being thrown around, especially on the HP side. Seeing as we've never seen HP wizards going up against a Muggle military, it's all guesswork, and there's no way to "prove" anything. However, the shields in HP were shown to be less than indestructible, so I don't see why it's unreasonable to think that the military could destroy it if they brought all their conventional firepower to bear. I'm thinking B-52s carpet bombing. Or hundreds of MLRS and 155mm howitzers bombarding the wizards. Or cluster bombs. Or the military's massive supply of chemical weapons that the wizards would likely have no ready defense against. But I suppose the OP will say that chem weapons were always supposed to be offlimits, even though the Wizards are allowed to use all their most exotic and circumstantial of powers and implements to maximum efficiency on scales and at degrees never shown in the books or movies.
