Well, lets be honest, the Muggles kinda deserved it. Y'know, what with all the periods in history that they tried to commit wizard genocide (albeit very unsuccessfully), and forcing the entire wizarding world into hiding after allGeneric Gamer said:
They actually explained in one of the books that Muggle technology will always break or malfunction in places where there is a large magical presence, like magic and physics are two competing forces and magic is always more powerful, in the same way that magnetism can defy gravity.MASTACHIEFPWN said:
Yes, but you forget that a bullet will reach you before you can think, most machinegun's have a mussle velocity of a mile in under 2 seconds, seeing something that small travaling that fast and being able to react, you would have to have the reaction time of like God.NinjaDeathSlap said:
Muggle ain't racist, it's not races, more like a often inheritable mutation or something, muggles can give birth to a wizard/witch, two people of the same race can't concieve a child of another race.Images said:
Oh, that makes sense, Pokemon (The anime) is a coma dream, as well. Hmm, what can this logic be applied to? I'll come up with something...Cheshire the Cat said:
Oh I so would watch Harry Potter crossed with The Wire. The Weasely Brothers start having their wares stolen by Omar. Hagrid and McNulty hit the bars together but Hagrid accidentally kills a hooker and they have to cover it up. Meanwhile Snape has to get rid of a batch of potions that had ill effects on customers.Maclennan said:
I thought it just meant Electrical things would go haywire, like Bugs or Radio or something like that. I mean when Ron suggests summoning a Scuba tank I think the only problem is that it's too far away and would break Wizarding Secrecy if seen, not that it wouldn't work. So I think it's only some Muggle technology that goes haywire around large amounts of magic [footnote]probably not the Wizards themselves, but the Magic emitted by Hogwarts/the various charms on the Castle[/footnote]. I mean in theory a gun should work, as there's nothing electrical about it, only expanding gasses. I mean Rowling said herself, that in a flat out war between Muggles and Wizards that the Muggles would win; partially because of numbers, and partially because of the Technological advantage that Guns and other Modern Technology bringsNinjaDeathSlap said:
In a fair fight probably, but if a wizard like Voldemort were to make war on Muggles I doubt they'd fight fair. They'd infiltrate governments, kill or possess the leaders, disguise the larger attacks as freak accidents and rely on the fact that nobody would ever believe that magic was real until they saw it for themselves, and even then most Muggles would try and find a more rational explanation. Even if they were caught in the act, they could just possess or wipe the memories of the person who caught themLionsfan said:
Exactly, I caught HP fever again recently, and this finally dawned on me. Wizards act so amazed about how Muggles have gotten around without magic, yet they use freakin' owls to deliver letters, which can take days. Muggles can send messages instantaneously. Wizards have to stick their head in a fire to physically talk with someone far away, we have video chat.Ordinaryundone said:
