Harry Dresden goes to Hogwarts.
Given a choice between what’s canonical and what’s cannonical, I know which one I’m picking.
Expect a projectile motherfucker!
I’d more likely expect somebody sitting on his ass 5m behind the place where he was when pulling the trigger looking stupid and holding his forearm. I’ve seen smartasses firing regular machine guns like this. No matter how strong you think you are - It just doesn’t work.
Goddammus sexualis tyrannosaurus! 🪄💦🥾
Obligatory Classic: Harry Potter with Guns
Hahah, the scene where he opens his inheritance vault with all the bullets. Man, thanks for the laugh
Opening with Dumbledore just shooting out the lights.
avahduh kedahvrah you mothefucker
Time to whip out the old muggle wand
What would be his name?
As funny as this is, there is some bull crap reason in the books explaining that muggle devices tend to not work well when close to places with too much magic
If I recall that was just electronics no?
Like we’ve seen them use fire at hogwarts. Simple chemical reactions still occur. That’s all a gun is, a spark, gunpowder, and a tube. Frankly this is just potions class
This made me think about what would make a magic gun in the setting superior to a regular gun. Assuming it’s just more powerful it shouldn’t make much difference since everyone is just running around with a wand that can kill someone at will anyways. In the case of the weird wand connections that I barely remember even happening outside of one scene in the books (and more often in the films) I suppose it would be useful.
The main advantage of a gun would seem that it is instant (no incantation, just aiming) and could probably be silenced.
This whole thing about wands being able to do basically the same as a gun also me realize that one could see the Harry Potter books as a group of kids with stun guns and gadgets fighting the idiot baddies who just use guns and can’t get a single plan to go right because of some dumb bs.
I really like the way that The Dresden Files handles it.
Magic tends to fuck with precision mechanics and electrical systems, which means that modern weapons are much more likely to jam when in the presence of magic auras.
As a result, the main character, who is a wizard tends to use a .44 revolver as his sidearm because anything more precise is going to be unreliable.
Right, so no shotguns? Easy. Sniper rifles, no problem.
Step one would to be a wizard I guess, otherwise you’ll never even find the castle and forgot what you were doing so you are just back to trying to find someone wanting to play corn hole
Do you think “too much magic” can stand up to “too much MURICA?” I think not, good sir.
All he has to do is chant the spell “AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!”
The gun is his patronus
Does USA ever even get acknowledged in the HP universe? I can’t remember any instance of a yank showing up in any of the books or any reference to the North American continent.
“America…well…we magicked it away. It was full of Voldemorts.”
The first Fantastic Beasts movie is set in New York, and it makes several appearances in the supporting lore books. Apparently, Americans don’t really like Quidditch, preferring some sort of magical-explosions basketball-ish game. Jeez I wish Joanne weren’t such an awful piece of shit human.
The first movie of Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them takes place in the US. Otherwise mentions are minimal, if any, in the HP series.
“I ain’t got time to bleed…”
“You got time to duck?”
Jesse “The Body” Ventura. The former governor of Minnesota.
“Aveda cad…” BANG.
The end.
“Expecto patron-”
just fucking riddled with bullets
I like how Misfits and Magic handles this where wizards straight just have never heard of nuclear weapons.
