solid job

Please finish Winds of Winter George

Unforunately itll never happen, magic community largely think the muggle community are simpletons and takes decades to incorporate muggle technologies into their lives and the muggle community for the most part dont think magic and such bullshit exists.

Those rare few wizards that do see muggle science and its potential know just how fast the wizarding world would get wiped off the map if shit ever went sideways

Why would you need to learn subjects whose laws you can defy thereby rendering them pointless? Law of Thermodynamics? More like thermoshmantics

I don't think magic and physics could really merge together well in one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

In its defense it's Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, you attend for specialized study apart from the convention, which parents handle at home I guess.

The retardation is how they manage the academic standards of the curriculum. Magic isn't like any real subject, the closest it comes to is maybe Drama where speech and action are combined for effect but even then the effect can be psychologically intuited to get it right, how you know if someone is being taught well or learned well in magic comes down to a fuzzy pass/fail practice.

For example the infamous scene about the proper pronunciation of Leviosa to a first time learner doesn't clarify how a student comes to grasp the connection between correct gesture, vocabulary and effect to practice, like Hermione you're just supposed to know because you're "smart".
Stories where magic is learned through mentorship get around these hurdles because usually the teaching method isn't like a school with a large attendance, grades and a curriculum limited to a year among other things like sports and holiday breaks, instead it's more like picking up a trade. Doctor Strange for example enters as an adult and progresses at whatever pace works best for him.

it's clearly explained in the first book that the world is run as a simulacra inside harry potters mind because he was so tortured and abused by his adopted family his psyche cracked into multiple pieces and he reformed the world with him as a hero and not as a homeless psych patient. get it. potter, pottery, cracked, scar, he is the 'potter' turning the clay, he is the god etc.

the real harry starts abusing drugs as he enters high school (this is when you turn 12 for british children, there is no middle school), he drops out, runs away from home, has a pet dog called ronald who later dies run over by a lorry, is in and out of institutions, he lapses between prescription drugs and hard narcotics, he experiments with lsd, by the mid 90s when rowling meets him he is an old grey man with a completely broken mind, collecting cans and living under the stairs she takes when she walks to her coffee shop.

the books and subsequent stories are his own ramblings, jotted down by jk rowling who humored this poor homeless man and later feels guilty and exposes herself as rita skeeter unscrupulously profiting from the stories. she loses track of him somewhere around the fifth book which is why the stories start falling apart completely, since the real harry probably drowned in a river or died of pneumonia in a hospice.

High IQ but mildly autistic post. Well done

>basically retarded
As opposed to all those people who gone to school?

Isn't there a fanfiction about this? Harry is some genius scientist or whatever and really uses magic to its fullest potential

Yes, its harry potter and the methods of rationality.

>a fanfiction
It's a common trope for a Ravenclaw or Slytherin Harry.

Unironically they don't get taught anything because their government doesn't want people knowing just how easy it'd be to wreck everything on a whim. Imagine if wizards knew how to summon Trinitrotoluene or how explosive it was? Imagine if they knew how to make letter bombs? They'd be absolutely fucked.

If by "use magic to it's fullest potential" you mean "use it to break into a science/military facility and steal all their chemicals and weapons" then yeah, I've seen it a couple times.

>jk, your books aren't diverse enough

>Okay how about in this one Harry gets yellow fever for a chinawoman named Cho Chang?

>What the fuck n-

>Too late, faggots

Everything involving Cho was weird as fuck and not even Rowling wants to bring that shit up again.

I mean...with a good use of imperium curse and polyjuice potion, wizards could take over the world easily, too bad they aren't imaginative

As a teacher, I chuckled.

They teach that shit in America and they are retarded too. It's not like they lost anything

yeah beaucause ignorance = slave.
The less they think, the more docile they are. That's why their government has all the power.
Sending Hagrid without trial to Azkaban for several months on mere suspicion...
No elections for leaders and ministers. The richest families have the power.
Trials are expedited. The case of the Harry Potter trial is a perfect example.
Dictator and executioner in a school, Dolores Jane Umbridge for example.

Stuck in an age without technology.
Hate different people, the Muggles.

Well... Not like you have to use any math in life except the 4 basics (+ - * :) and MAAAAAAYBE %.
So if you mean to say they only learned useful stuff, yeah my dude you're totally right

Just imagine how fucked school life at Hogwarts must've been. Obliviate, stupefy, and any spell that makes someone invisible would've made it so any weirdo on campus could just ambush any witch and go from there. Doesn't help that the students had an insane power gap and that a single 6th year or 7th year that's average in class could easily take down an entire squad of 1st years or 2nd years. They could probably just walk up to an entire group of them and take them all down at once and then play eeny meeny miny moe to choose which one they're gonna drag off to their invisible dungeon that can transform into whatever they want.

They learn arithmancy which is the magic nature of numbers or some shit, but it's an optional class.

Yeah there are a few
For Love of Magic for example has this all the way with crazy magitech
And tons of lemons, fucking hell that fanfic was so gloriously smutty

Not just that
I imagine prostitution in the wizard world would be a colossal fucking business
Imagine stealing a hair from Hermione's desk and then just doing some random chick after having her drink polyjuice
It'd be huge, tons of witches would also want to bang Harry

If magic exists can't we assume that basically all that stuff is wrong? There's a huge whole in their science. Also, most people come out of school knowing next to nothing about those things anyway.

You fucking wish it was a girl drinking the polyjuice potion. It'd be completely anonymous because nobody wants to know they're actually fucking a fat 50 year old man that hasn't bathed in a week.

He's 11 when the book starts. He's already learned the basics. Everything else are direct analogs of our subjects as they apply to the "real" non-muggle world.

i unironically started writing a screenplay based on this premise. It was set in the future and it was about a dark wizard who decided to make horcruxes but instead of making them from significant objects he made them from pebbles in the ocean or leaves in forest, shit like that. It was about wizards and scientists from nasa developing a radar that would help searching for horcruxes.

you have a very good style, man. Those sentences have almost perfect rhytm.

How do they take the potion before me handing it to them

What an epic crossover. This is why I love Yas Forums.

>yes, I've read the methods of rationality, how can you tell?

It's bad writing and trying to explain it away later after realizing how stupid it is with "all the characters are actually kinda idiots" is even more embarrassing.

With magic you can just summon food, water or money. Who needs it? Wizards have been shown they dont "really" need to work so who cares?
