I understand this, but the point is that technically the largest thing we've seen it work on is a human. If we're going to say Godzillas size is a factor my question is just how big of a creature would we say the AK could kill.

What about the imperio curse? I see no reason to grant this thing immunity to death magic, transmutation, and telepathy lol.
He couldn't win the fight using *only* the imperio curse, but he could use it to buy time to try to figure out a way to potentially kill it. Worst case scenario he can't kill it, but can keep from getting murderized.
I have two problems with Voldemort when facing Godzilla:
1) He'd need to act at a very long range because just standing close to Godzilla is fatal. Most of the Harry Potter spells were never performed from a far distance.
2) There is no telling if the external skin of Godzilla would be considered more similar to an inanimate object or more similar to human skin given its girth (in the HP books the Dragon Scales provide defense against magic but it's not explicitly told in the movies). My inclination would be to ignore this because otherwise it isn't even a fight and Voldemort needs this edge to compete

Yet you're granting Voldenort immunity to radiation and thermal death from the massive heat and radiation Godzilla pulses out by the second.
Honestly, I assumed the starting distance would be large enough as to avoid instant death lol. Though in my mind I was assuming he'd need some sort of magical healing afterwards cuz of the radiation.

A fair point, though if we were to say the AK works it could be done easily from quite far away, Godzilla is a large target.

It's not like I think he'd be vulnerable to all magic. I think he'd laugh off stunning spells just like dragons. I think fiendfyre wouldn't work either. I think it gets trickier if you talk about mental magic, death magic, and transmutation. There is a physical presence to the death curse, but the physical impact isn't what kills you.

And I agree to this last part, we have no reason to assume Godzilla can not be hampered by mental magic or weird shenanigans. As long as Voldemort dies regardless I dont care.
