Harry Potter vs Reign of Fire

Especially if it were the Alpha male dragon while Harry Potter may be at a higher grade.

No real reason to believe the dragon could withstand transmutation or a soul rip.

Dragons have souls?

Yeah who says dragons have souls?!

Why wouldn't they?

Why would they?

Does it matter? Transmutation takes care of it. Or mind control.

Now do "do dragons have minds tho?"

The dragons in that movie were pretty clever, so they had primitive intelligence at least, the soulless bastards.

Yeah but i wasn't so sure if dragons have minds & somebody at Comicvine just told me that Harry Potter's magic spells wouldn't be able to affect the alpha male dragon.

^^^even in the HP world, dragons (and other monsters) are treated w. a healthy dose of fear and respect. Wizards don’t just go, “ooh, a dragon” and wave them away. So, no, Harry’s not just going to one shot the RoF Alpha.

So Harry couldn't use a simple, explosive spell to take out the alpha? No minds or souls required; there isn't even a trajectory or solid projectile the alpha could intercept. Just -BOOM- explosion in the dragon's mouth (ala Quinn + crossbow). AFAIK, RoF dragons are not magical beasts, so I don't think they'd be as durable, as protected against spells, whatever. Mostly, they just seem bullet-proof.

OTOH, does range matter? Does Harry have to be as close as Quinn was? Would he be as agile as Quinn to avoid a fire attack? Could he cast a spell as quickly as pulling a trigger? Does Harry have shield spells he could cast beforehand?

Seems to me there are a number of variables here to consider. But generally, ideally, I see Potter taking this, maybe even one-shotting the alpha, making this confrontation almost spite.

Agree to disagree, though at least you show you actually thought out your conclusion, which is what we’re supposed to do.

Fun thread; I may have to check out more of T-rap’s match ups.

Fun thread, indeed. Definitely agree on that.
