    So the question is, would Voldemort be so contemptuous of muggles he'd neglect to protect against muggle weapons more advanced than swords. Remember in the final battle
    The Death Eaters were caught by surprise from arrows from the Centaurs, so I'd say if you caught them by surprise you could shoot a wizard faster than they would say "Protego".

    they skip over this in the movies, but by half-blood prince, they're supposed to be using all their 'combat' spells non verbally.

    also, uh

    voldemort couldn't die in any way other than the way he was killed

    if you shot him in the face, the body would die and then they'd just use some witchery to reanimate the body to allow what was left of his soul to return

    duh

    Um, no he could've died anyway, the only requirement was all his horcruxes be destroyed. He would come back and then you'd just shoot him again and eventually shoot Harry/Voldermort hybrid monster.

    Presumably after the first time he died from getting shot, when he came back he'd go "What the fuck was that?" "That was a muggle gun, lord." "Well let's figure out some anti-gun spells so I don't get my head blown off again, hmm?"

    Then the dude with the gun gets eaten by an army of snakes or something.

    to be fair, i can see exactly where she's coming from

    we're talking about a character in a book she created

    that people love to dress up as on a daily basis, let alone when the movies come out

    if she killed Harry Potter off, there would be at least a dozen suicides

    and the sad thing is i'm not even joking about that

    Yeah, but that's kind of the point Rowling tries to get across in the last book; about how death only has as much power as an individual gives it, and that the dead don't want people carrying them around like a burden, especially considering how dwelling on the dead can end up fucking you up worse than if you'd just accepted it and moved on. Harry accepts all the shit that's happened, and moves on. It's had an effect, but he can live with it.
