Harry Potter Wizards vs U.S Military: who would win

[Puppet Pal Clem]

There are 100 wizards from hogwartz with harry potter being one of them. Who would win.

tbh magic is very very power full, theres charm spells and many things like obliviate that would really just make the us army forget whats going on and have a hard time dealing with the wizards, barriers and other protection spells would also make bullets pretty obsolete, that being said it wouldn't be impossible for the us army to hurt wizards though, stealth and guerilla tactics would really be the only way if they can succeed at not being caught

as for what you said being 100 wizards vs the "us army" the army would likely win in a fight against that many wizards

Wizards would have massive potential to sabotage from the inside without the military even knowing it was happening. There wouldn't even be a fight.

As for a forced battle? Is there a spell that creates oxygen? If not, just drop a vacuum bomb on them and watch them asphyxiate.

US Military always.

[Slarty]

If the wizards are not surprised I think they would win.

[Privatelvl25]

As sad as this sounds with the current people running our military all you need to do is fly a balloon to penetrate our air defense so I am not sure who would win.

can any wizarding spell / ward stop gamma radiation, 4,000 degrees Celsius and a pressure wave that can take out entire cities?

if not, then US wins

Granted I don't know much about the specifics of spells or magic in the HP universe, but I know almost every time this comes up in terms of Fantasy D&D vs Modern technology, the magic is just way too overpowered to actually be considered beatable by conventional means.

Entire gunship pilots or command posts being mindcontrolled throws a spanner in the works of a lot of best laid plans.

The army is too busy doing MRT classes

You gotta actually get close to hit them with mind control in HP universe, though. As far as I know, at least.

Harry potter silence you forever here.

The wizards because they are offensive. Or so twitter says, and the US military can't handle offensive memes anymore.

In an open battle, wizards. The victory of the U.S. Army here would rely entirely upon getting the drop on the wizards. If both sides where aware of one another, definitely a wizard victory.

To be fair if Harry had any real intelligence he would have teleported to the USA, picked up 30+ guns from a supermarket, teleported back and before the bad guys could get to "avada ke..." he and Ron could have shot the vast majority of them.

And the above is why my Brother will not allow me to discuss Harry Potter with his children any more.

Isn't that the whole plot of Guns Akimbo?

Being serious for a moment, not so. We see in the films that competent wizards can cast many spells without incantation. The casting is effectively instantaneous. All it takes is for one wizard to be able to cast Bombarda on a gun's loaded cartridge without incantation and the gun is not only useless, it's a danger to the wielder.
