None of Voldemorts spells are big enough to really bother Kong. Even that Fiendfyre was only like 20-30 feet tops. Kong is nearly 400ft tall and hundreds of times bigger than the biggest monsters in the HPverse. And there are so many creatures resistant to magic, most of them large and with tough skin that honestly anything No Nose does will probably bounce right off. Kong probably just steps on him.

Voldemort stomps, easily.

Killing curse, imperio, etc, etc. Voldemort is too versatile.Magic kills, lads.
Giants are almost immune to magic and the biggest one is 25 feet tall. Dragons are almost immune to magic. Graphorns are the same. So are trolls. And most of that resistance is because they are very large and have super tough skin. Even Hagrid who is a half giant has spells bounce off him.
So how in the hell do you think a single spell from Moldywart can even bother, much less kill a nearly 400ft tall ape that is bulletproof and strong enough to fight Godzilla? Which fits the criteria of both big and having a tough hide?
The answer is, you didn't think when you made this thread.
Originally posted by Eon BlueYeah the killing curse was my first thought too. Why would Kong's size make him impervious to it? It's magic. It's not like it needs to follow any law of physics like conservation of energy. My impression was it connects = it kills, and Kong is a huge target.

Bingo!
Two different verses. Two different sets of laws. Voldemort is too much for the little ape long with his stupid axe that looks like a violin.

That’s not how this works. You’re suppose to be the one providing proof the killing spell would work on Kong, when there are plenty beings in the Harry Potter verse that are immune to it.

Pretty much agreed. Sure, there are certain monster in HP that are resistant to spells but that seems to be due to an inherent magical resistance rather than just sheer size.
It's actually due to sheer size and tough skin. Nothing to do with actual inborn resistance. They're just too big and too tough for the spells to have an effect. It's stated in the series itself.
And the biggest and toughest of those creatures don't even come past Kong's toe. So large creature + tough hide = magic immunity and Kong is bigger than the HPverse itself sooooo his resistance would be hundreds, if not thousands of times greater than anything there.
"dragons are strong and too powerfully magical to be knocked out by a single Stunner" - GoF Chapter 19
"Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful spells can penetrate..." - GOF chapter 20
Like I said, I'm pretty sure that it's due to an inherent magical resistance. And that's pretty much explicitly stated as the case for dragons. I see no reason to assume otherwise for giant and trolls. Especially since they tent to be smaller than dragons.
Ron Weasley : "Hagrid did well, didn't he? How come all the spells bounced off him?"
Hermione Granger: "It'll be his giant blood. It's very hard to Stun a giant, they're like trolls, really tough... but poor Professor McGonagall... four Stunners straight in the chest and she's not exactly young, is she?"
And she doesn't mean blood as in his actual blood, but the blood making him a half giant means he's much bigger and his skin is more resistant to spells.
"Some charms will be ineffective on large creatures such as trolls, whose hides repel all but the more powerful spells."

Even wearing a dragon-hide coat will make you almost impervious to spells because dragon scales keep their durable properties even after they die.

Even the largest dragon in the HPverse, the Ukranian Ironbelly only weighs 6 tons and is probably the same length or slightly longer than a Horntail which is usually about 50ft long. And the largest giants are like 25ft tall. Kong is almost 400 feet tall and almost 90,000 tons. If spells don't work on creatures that small in comparison, why would they work on Kong?
