James K asked:
Just read the latest book and again noticed how superior wizards think they are to Muggles, of course this attitude is present among wizards in all the Harry Potter books. However wizards have never been shown facing any competent Muggle such as an assassin or skilled martial artist. Who would win an elite fictional Muggle vs a powerful Harry Potter wizard; Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill with her kickass Hattori Hanzo sword and guns or a fanatical anti-Muggle wizard like Bellatrix Lestrange or Voldemort? A wizard would seem an obvious victor but Beatrix is a lot faster than any wizard due to training and is a perfect shot thereby easily dodging curses and killing with a single bullet. In case of an some sort of bullet shielding charm which is unlikely she can get up close and decapitate Voldy for instance and surely there is no spell for that. That would make an interesting fanfic, the Ministry or Death Eaters sending a super Muggle assassin to kill Harry Potter or vice versa.

The muggles will lose!

Wow, you’ve put a lot of thought into it…
I think it would be a toss up, you know, because wizards wouldn’t be used to ninja like moves and whatnot. Hmm, I think I’ll be pondering it.

An accomplished wizard would win without a doubt. It is extremely easy to deflect bullets with a simple shield charm or reductor curse. In any case, even if the wizard got shot, it is very easy to heal wounds. However, a bullet is not going to stop Avada Kedavra, and the Imperius Curse could be used to make the shooter put down the gun. A confundus charm would be worthwhile. Then again, the Muggle’s memory could be modified. And, oh, the cruciatus curse would stop the attack in an instant. As for the decapitation, do you really think that any wizard in their right mind would let an attacking Muggle that close? Hello, Stupefy! I’m pretty sure expelliarmus would disarm the Muggle too.

it really depends on the situation, and the muggle/wizard involved. True, with training, a Muggle could beat a wizard, yet an average person wouldnt have that kind of training. And there are weak wizards that would lose against an average muggle (Neville?). But if an average muggle were set against an average wizard, i would have to say the wizard would probably win.

A wizard would win, it is easier for them to just cast the killing spell and not have to fight a real duel.

OK………what’s the question?
I think wizards and witches rock. I mean compared to normal muggles as our selves they have a more interesting life. I’d love to be a witch and get excepted into Hogwarts.

um. no offense but i’m pretty sure voldemort would have won. even if she managed to get close and chop his head off he would still been living b/c she doesn’t have a really powerful way of killing the horcruxes does she?
and what if the wizard was invisible? does she have like glasses for that or something ?

Let’s see, with a sneakerscope Harry would know if this super assassian was sneaking up on him. With the Invisibility cloak he could vanish quickly. And by being able to disaperate he’d be gone before your muggle assassian even got close. Then there’s the fact that the shielding charm actualy can be used against physical objects as Hermione used it in the tent the night Ron left with the result being the shield not only forced Harry Ron, and Hermione all a few feet apart but prevented her from passing through it in order to stop Ron from leaving. She also cast it against a waterfall. So a bullet would be unlikely to pass through if objects that aren’t spells can’t pass through.
Finally, how would your super assassian get past the muggle repeling charm, which would prevent her from ever getting close?

That’s a pretty cool idea- I never thought of that. What if Batman or Spiderman went up against Voldemort- who do you think would win?? Batman and Spidey are both cleaver muggles!

Hmmm Kill Bill meets Harry Potter~

No Muggle can dream of beating a Wizard.

lol u seem 2 put a lot of faith in Muggles. i think that one guy is right and the witch or wizard would win indefinitely, especially if they are as pwerful as dumbledoor because he could make himself invisible and therefore invulnerable
