Seeing as "hundreds" of wizards had hit the shield with spells by the time Tom broke it....it being weakened is the most likely reason.

I disagree
4:29- We see the effect of the hundreds of bolts. We see them impact the sheild, but we see the shield withstand
4:32- We see the effect of Vold's mega-bolt. It is so powerful it lights the entire shield up. It's clearly more powerful than the hundreds of bolts.
It seems the destruction of the shield was based more on Vold's power than the other bolts weakening it. If that power can be harnessed intrinsically without the Elder Wand, that means Vold and the other wizards who he's imperioed to his level can do so as well. I'm not saying they'll easily do it, but they have the capability.
The bolts could be very weak still for all that is shown.. certainly not of the "taking buildings down" strength, that you alleged earlier.
Oh it lit the shield up? How powerful... does this mean not that my pocket flashlight is as powerful than the bolt?
Still nothing here to prove that HP spells are more effective than Military grade weapons. Or that that shield can stop a high velocity bullet. You still haven't explained how they work.
Dance on...

right but as someone else pointed out, the premise for victory in the OP is not defeat of the military, not survival, but successfully holding LA under siege.

Wow. So much stupidity in your post I can't even conceive of an appropriate response. gonna wait for Juggerman, or someone else who isn't a total moron, to respond my post. Your butthurt trolling opinion is irrelevant

You see the bolts exploding shit, but you think the shield can't handle bullets? Wow you are retarded. again, I'm going to wait for someone who isn't a moron to respond to my post, because your opinion is as worthless as a Zimbawean dust mite.

*Holds lighter to ass. Farts.* You see that explosion..? Excellent my ass is now Wizard bolt level! Hurrah. My pants are still intact. That must mean that they are equivalent to wizard shields. Gee, im awesome.
Those bolts caused a bit of fire and knocked a few bricks loose in a very old building. They certainly didn't topple anything.
Take a look at what the Military by comparison (and the number sof troops they have) have compared to the Wizards have, when a butthurt childish troll isn't trying to gimp away everything they have and are.. I think you'll find that they have much much more and weapons and tech that would make the Wizards a laughing stock as far as a match up goes. for some reason (profuse butthurt at all the losses the wizards has suffered here in the past and present, maybe) you desperately want to destroy the military way beyond, science, reason, logic and any kind of ungimped likely outcome.
Oh well...guess it must really be tough for you, as the US military win this with flying colours... you rage on like a lunatic, yet you cannot explain in the slightest how the shields work or what the spells are actually made of..although you claim they definitely will work against anything the Military have.. lol
You just dont want to talk to me, as you know I'm right and you have to make with silly names/insults due to your butthurt (again). Thats ok. Every single person reading this except you can see how bitter and angry you are, for it. 🙂 Lulz
So, here are the points that the wizard side have to address:
1) Can Voldemort even control and direct his army? Is there anything to suggest he's capable of this level of puppeteering? Last I checked, he isn't Darkseid from the Great Darkness Saga.
2) Even if we accept that Imperio amped Neville Longbottom to perform a feat of agility beyond his normal capability, does this translate to using high level magic effectively? If it were possible for Voldemort to control and amp any wizard to the levels suggested here, why in the Hell did a control freak like Voldemort not simply do that and puppeteer all the Death Eaters? It would have made them both more effective and even less likely to turn against him.
3) Has the wizard's shield actually shown the capability to resist non-magical attacks? I'm not banking too much on this, (in fact, I'm fairly certain I remember--it's been a while since I've seen the movie--it showing properties that would make it effective against solid projectiles and explosives) I'd just like to hear if it has or hasn't, because it seems like the presumption has been that the shields will hold against bullets and bombs, even powerful bombs. It seems quite possible to me that the shield isn't a Star Wars/Halo style energy shield but an anti-spell barrier.
4) For the OP, is this or isn't this a spite thread?
