I think it could.
ShadowFyre
Only if the spell took some physical aspect. And magic works so differently in different universes the outcome would vary significantly.
I think it could deflect like a fireball and things of that nature as well as like mental attacks.

But not the killing curse?
KingD19
It could definitely deflect Avada Kedavra.

I dont know enough about the potter universe to honestly answer that. All the spells have that little razzle dazzle and have to physically hit their opponent right?
I assume it could because it would be like a physical object stopping it
Surtur
I don't see why the force could deflect the AK. The Harry Potter universe has shield spells, etc. and none of those work against it.
victreebelvictr
But the real questions is...
Can the spells block the force?
BOOM.
Surtur
They could probably use magic to prevent their emotions from being read.
Could they block a force choke type move? Probably not.

But Avada Kedavra has been stopped by physical objects plenty of times. I think a TK Force Field that can stop matter as well as energy could do the job.
Can't really compare a specific shield spell to the pretty much all-encompassing Force that has blocked blaster bolts, lightsaber blades, random heavy objects, lightning, and even a direct application of Force Energy has heen blocked by another Jedi/Sith pushing back with their own Force.

It's been stopped by inanimate objects yes, but then how do you explain why their shields can't block it?
Silent Master
Easy, one argument could be that their shields aren't as good.
Would you argue that the AK would pass through a shield cast by comic Dr Strange or even Odin?
Silent Master
Didn't grave stones stop them in the 4th movie?
KingD19
I believe so. It was also stopped by a stone fixture during the battle at the Ministry of Magic.
Also Silent has a good point. In Star Wars Stormtrooper/Clonetrooper/First Order armor is supposed to keep people safe but a single blaster bolt usually kills a soldier. Just because something is poorly designes in universe doesnt mean something else cant work better. I've never seen Caps shield block a blaster bolt but I know it'd do better than the armor based on feats.

For some strange reason I love when steverules post.

Why?

Better example would be the battle of Endor, armour did nothing for the storm troopers against the Care Bears

Whether or not Star Wars magic can deflect Harry Potter magic is impossible to determine. That's why crossover V.S. battles need to have attached rules like "energy equivalence."

That transmutation spell that Moody (Crouch Jr) used on Draco that turned him into a ferret had no physical aspect to block.

I suppose that could be true, but the shields are super weak then. Yet in the movie Grindelwald has a spell that was apparently gonna destroy London and they combined several shields to contain it...right?

Didn't watch the new movies. did that combined shield fail to stop an AK?
Dr Will Hatch
I don't see why it couldn't. The Force exists on a higher level comparatively speaking, than magic. The Force is an energy field created by all living things, including wizards.

thus a wizard would need training in the force just like anyone else. the assumption that magic, designed to impact the physical world, would impact a cosmic energy field in the same level...seems way too presumptuous
NotAllThatEvil
Kylo re is one of the weakest "Sith" we've seen and even he was able to hold a blast energy suspended for the entirety of his conversation with Poe. Even if the can't deflect it, they could easily suspend the killing curse long enough to avoid it.

If we plot the Potter-Earth into the Galaxy, then spells and "magic" would be nothing but another form of manifestation of the Force.
The poor wizards would be no different from the Night Sisters....

God, I hated Courtship of Princess Leia.
I'm sure you probably know them through the Clone Wars toon, where they actually somewhat work, but the source material was just so bad..
Anyways, you're right. If The Force flows through everything, in a shared universe, it makes most sense to make "Wizarding" an aspect of The Force.

Clone Wars toon was a lot of fun. Like it more than the current Rebels stuff....

It can hold blaster bolts in mid-air, I think it's plausible, yeah.

Where's Quan to come in and shoot these theories down? Did Eon Blue kill him?
snoke123
I don't see why not
off topic: Could darth nihilus feed on the entire planet?

No I don't think an AK is tried. Here is the scene from the movie since you haven't seen it, the clip kinda jumps all over the place, but go near the end, like 3 mins in.

Also my bad it was Paris that was gonna get destroyed, not London. Also to be fair there was no proof it could, it's just said it could. The wizards took it seriously though and even after he teleports away the spell continues to attempt to destroy Paris.
I'm wondering if it's really really advanced fiendfyre?
He is a 30 second video that gives you a better sense of the scale. Don't let the title fool you these aren't actual dragons.
