Gotta say the words quicker than they can pull the trigger and they have mutliple sylable words try saying one of these before you can click your mouse. Yeah I know super skilled ones don’t need to but you still have to react.
Bummer jk Rowling never made sense out of dueling, or casting spells silently, or apparating sometimes is okay but mostly not. Even if she wasnt an asshole, trying to draw a logical line through the books is absurd.
I think the world building in the Harry Potter series is awful. The rules don’t make internally consistent sense, and the society that came up around those rules also don’t make sense within the motivations of how people behave in that society.
It’s so obvious that she was coming up with shit as she went along.
The Deathly Hallows were a huge asspull. Trying to make an overarching story was a mistake, the story worked best when it was “monster of the week” standard children’s fare. That kind of format can tolerate the “I’m going to introduce something new that should have wider consequences and then forget about it immediately afterwards” problems (Time Turners, Legilimency, polyjuice potions, love potions…)

Also a bummer that she turned out as a raging anti trans hateful nutcase.
Could you continually apparate fresh ammo into your gun?
Harry Potter, the Kalashnikov and the oil freighter.
Harry Potter and the Rocket Equation.
I think we need someone to take the world of harry potter and make it brutally realistic.
So many other settings did this better.
Not the same but… Mashle
Don’t have to say any words when it is a basic protection hex. It automatically activates.
