For those who read or watched Harry Potter, let me pose a question to you. If wizards and muggles entered into a world war, who would win?
This came to my mind when thinking back on how Voldemort and his Death Eaters viewed muggles as week and inferior. Sure, magic has lots of advantages in everyday life, but would it be enough if all out work broke out between two worlds? Magic is incredibly powerful, but so is technology. Wizards don't have satellites, drones, snipers, hydrogen bombs, or (as far as I know) an equivalent to much modern technology.
For the sake of this argument, let us say muggles became fully aware of the existence of wizards and magic a few years before this situation took place.
So, I repeat myself, which societies would win a world war? Wizards with their magic or muggles with modern technology?

Huh, well that depends. If it was during Harry Potter's time, which was like during the 80's/90's, Muggle tech wouldn't be as advanced as today's tech, so wizards might have a slight advantage. But if they were to fight in the present, then that might be another story. Also, the books only showed off a handful of spells. There might be tons of other spells we don't know about that can be just as efficient as the Unforgivable Curses. Protective spells, combat spells, etc. It all really depends.

I doubt anyone can say "Avada Kedavra" faster than a speeding bullet. Also, bombs. And tanks. And drones. And armies.

[spoiler]Also, can a wizard be able to spam the Avada Kedavra spell? If so, the wizards, more specifically the Slytherin ones, will have the advantage.[/spoiler]

由tjustie编辑: 7/12/2016 4:21:41 AMMuggles might win purely because they vastly outnumber wizards. Otherwise, wizards would wreck face. Muggles wouldn't stand a chance. If it was an all out war, wizards would also likely be able to control and set loose certain monsters on the muggle world. It would be chaos. Several death eaters destroyed a large bridge in seconds, and voldemort sent a hurricane upon Britain at one point in the books. Wizards would utterly annihilate muggles if they all went all out.

Honestly, I think wizards would win due to ability to take control of anybody and have them do your bidding. All they have to do is drink a polyjuice (I think) potion to turn into someone close to an important figure next thing you know, the president is controlled by wizards.
