Homework

Don't they have quills that auto-write for you?

The students weren't allowed to use them on the OWLs, and I think they were also banned on the NEWTs

But they're good for all homework, right?

We've Been Speckledorfed!

That's not even a word and I agree with you.

I would gladly right essays on dragons...

I'd rather write essays on parchment.

its funnier to right an essay on dragons then writing one you silly goose

With quills on parchment and no wikipedia?

No need to use wikipedia when you have an expert on the subject teaching a specific class about them.

If I was learning magic I wouldnt need wikipedia, Id be top of my fucking class

Yea it's faster, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT FUCKING MAGIC IS IT?
Also, I'm sure there's a spell that makes the quill move on it's own, writing your thoughts.

I research Folklore, Mythologies, Religions, Fairytales, myths, legends, etc. for fun. I would FUCKING LOVE to do that.

Couldn't you use magic and make the quill move superspeed!? Writing as fast as u think...

There's a science behind the magic
Understanding the properties of magical elements leads to the development of new spells, potions, items so on and so forth. The teachers ain't called professors for nothing.

Being a wizard Engineer would be kick ass

You don't need science when you have magic.

sounds a lot like religion.

"Magic is just science we don't understand yet"

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Read that shit. hpmor.com/

Am reading
so far, extremely interesting although not the best writing in the world

It gets better. But yeah, the author's an artificial intelligence expert, not a professional fiction writer.

Oh man you just won the fucking internet. All those atheists, all those rationally-thinking people just ridiculed.

Connect science AND magic! Our technology is like magic anyways, so doing magic with the latest technology and guns.
Also, where is the math and language classes at hogwarts? I dont remember hearing about them. They have magic arithmancy, but bleh

See, if we lived at a time when we were traveling the universe and exploring the galaxy in massive starships and I could be on one of those, then no. At our current day and age, I would drop it in a heartbeat.

At least you would get results with magic.. Not like you get anything with religion

Well supposedly there is "magic formulas" they have certain requirements for creating certain potions or spells. But when you compare results versus effort, of fucking course every one wants to be a wizard and not an engineer.

NO

my mind is opening

I live in a 3rd world country (South Africa) and my homework still sucks a brown dookie.

Wow they must be twins!

Bitch please

dammit guys, just enlarge it

Really man? I'm sorry, but I just don't see it :-/

Full HD 1080p

enlarge it for better quality

How does it work?

Mother of God...

You might be right...

No. Fuckin. Way.

Now you're thinking like a witch.

Because it's not in America

shut up

i asked my friend this, his response: ITS FUCKING MAGIC BITCH

Something about magic fucking with physics and making technology go all screwy, is what my harry potter obsessed friend said when I asked him. Apparently it even works on mechanical technology like a flintlock pistol, so meh.

yet they have a clock tower the size of a mutant whale dildo and all sorts of other mechanical shit in hogwarts... Harry Potter doesn't hold up to scrutiny in some areas, tell your friend to deal with it and stop making shit up. it's still a great series.

They have an impossibly large clocktower whose mechanisms aren't ever truly explained.
And what other mechanical shit do they have? Everything remotely mechanical is fueled by magic. That's why Ron's dad is so obsessed with muggle technology -- it doesn't make sense to him, as a wizard, how something so basic as a rubber ducky works. In fact, Ron's father, whose job and passion was understanding muggle technology, considered it a great feat that he owned and was able to operate a car.
Muggles don't understand magic, and wizards don't understand the shit we've done to compensate for a lack of magic. In a world where you can cause explosion by flicking a stick around, would black powder have ever been invented?
And then it's a matter of "well, they could use a muggle-made gun. It's not like they don't already interact with muggles". In that case, you can immediately assume Voldemort and his ilk wouldn't dare use a muggle contraption, so that's easy enough. Then on the side of good, it's just because they're good guys. They banned the killing curse, so why on earth would they use a gun? Even if there were wizards with firearms training (Seeing as we're focused on Hogwarts and therefore England, there aren't going to be a lot of them), how many would actually have access to one? Who would think to pack a gun in their luggage next to their Wolfsbane and wand? And even if those circumstances did come to happen, who's to say that person would have the gun on them when it came down to it? I doubt the students would be allowed to carry a firearm around, muggle or Wizard.

But isn't the clock tower fueled by magic?

It's not physics, but somewhere in the 3rd or 4th book it's explained that certain forms of technology won't work within the school's magical barriers, like bugging devices.

maybe your parents left you as a child which explains why your a little shit

You should probably just kill yourself.

YOU'RE the faggot here, dickless.

Down anon down boy!

You. DUMB. Shit.

Because its more practical!

(And Roy Mustang only had custom made gloves for his skill ,and maybe Kimblee once)

Armstrong, too. His gauntlets have transmutation circles on them.

I would go al Kadabra hame HAAAAA! on voldemort and shit.

because he was wrong not to trust them? also they treated him like shit...

I'm not sure if I am understanding you correctly. Are you implying that every single Slytherin should not be trusted? That they are all plotting evil-doers?

Also, why should he trust anyone at all? I mean, during second-year pretty much everyone thought he was evil and the one who was attacking students.

Fourth year everyone turned on him again because his name came out of the Goblet. Including Ron and, slightly, Hermione. His two best friends turned on him and he was alone. Since he had no other friends to lean on and no one else to turn to, when Ron and Hermione came back he forgave them instantly. What other choice did he have?

He had already isolated himself, knowingly or not, from everyone else since first-year.

"didn't read"

That is a valid point, but how would you feel if you learned the man who tried to kill you as an infant was part of a group?

If I was a wizard, or simply capable of superhuman feats, I'd want to get stronger. I'd want to do everything in my power to make sure that when I get attacked, because I know I will be one day, that I wont go down without a fight.

Either that high-road, or I'd go the way of Sasuke and want revenge. I wouldn't just go about my life like there isn't some mad-man out there that wants to kill me.

It's okay because you're anon.

Too dumb, dont care.

This is my understanding. I was never allowed to read Harry Potter for that reason. Apparently, JK Rowling is a Wiccan and practices "witchcraft" (religiously). Because of this, some her religious ideals were mentioned either obviously or subliminally (I don't actually know this but it's what I was told). Seeing as how Christians view Wicca as "satanic and demonic" her books were heavily condemned and chastised.

That's what I was told anyway.

this isn't true, J.K.Rowling is a christian. Wicca is about making friends and the magic they do is to heal each other and doesn't work it is not Satanic.

Well I never claimed that what I heard was true. You seemed confused so I was trying to explain the reasoning.

no, I said that the information wasn't true and then said the truth. I didn't say that you believed in that information.

Not even close.

It's basically just religious parents, who won't let their kids be exposed to any form of superstition but their own.

Ironically, Harry was modeled after Jesus.

Not really. Voldemort was modeled after the Antichrist.

Harry becomes a saviorfigure from being chosen by Voldemort as his mortal enemy, which leads to his doom in the end.

witchcraft is bestcraft.

Also, fuck christianfag moms. They ruin everything.

Christfags strike once more.
I'll get my Shotgun.

...and since nobody was asking, I will play a round of COUNTER/STRIKE with them.
