![]() This means at least one of the wizards is shielded and the muggle is out in the open. However, it is highly likely that one or both of our pair of muggles will miss. Due to the speed of the bullets, the wizards would probably be unable to cast a shield charm in time. The muggles would win a fight if they could hit the wizards in the first few shots. This means that the charm should break after a few shots. After all, the books make clear that the majority of wizards in the Ministry of Magic cannot cast decent shield charms. However, I could not find any information on whether or not wizards could fire from behind a shield charm (let me know if you find any). This means that protego can also deflect bullets. Bullets obviously are physical projectiles. This is a shield charm and it blocks incoming magic and physical attacks. The main spell that wizards can use for defense is protego. The Wizards Defense – how good is Protego Also, since the muggles initiate this attack, they will have their guns loaded. These guns hold 7 bullets so the muggles will each have seven shots. After that, the gun will load each bullet itself. This means that the cartridge of bullets will need to be manually loaded. The muggles’ only reliable form of offense will be their guns. If the muggles were running away, chasing someone, or preparing a battlefield, then it would be useful. However, though this is just one of the spells that can be used creatively, it’s unlikely that it will be useful in a straight fight. For example, the wizards could use Aguamenti to muddy the grass, making the terrain difficult to navigate. It can be extremely versatile if you use your head. I included Aguamenti to show how powerful wizards can be when they are creative. Reducto is useful for the wizards because it can make cover ineffective. So we will focus on Stupify as it is the stunning spell. Expelliarmus, Rictumsempra, Titilando, trip jinx, stinging hex these all incapacitate the opponent. This is because the goal of most of these spells is to incapacitate the opponent in some way. (this is not meant to be a full list of offensive spells)įor this post, we will ignore the majority of these spells as functionally redundant. So, the following is a list of the main spells that may be useful in a fight. This spell is an unforgivable curse that our average wizard will not know, and will not use. However, we can assume that this spell will not be used during the fight. The wizard’s most powerful offensive spell is the Avada Kedavra. However, the wizards saw he muggles and had time to prepareĤ: The muggles will both have semi-automatic pistols which are the most common guns in Americaĥ: The wizards will be ‘average wizards’ so, they won’t be as powerful as Dumbledore or Voldemort, they won’t use unforgivable curses, and they will know the spells taught at Hogwarts. So, we will assume:ġ: That this is in America because in Britain there are strict gun control laws and really, a gun is the only way the muggles will win.Ģ: That there are two wizards and 2 mugglesģ: That the muggles initiated the attack and caught the wizards off guard. These assumptions are to narrow down the discussion so that an argument will be made. Assumptionsīecause of the variety that could happen in a fight like this, we must make assumptions. ![]() For the sake of argument, let’s say a field with a few trees in the middle of nowhere. Because of this, we must assume that the fight will take place on some neutral ground. We do not know how long it takes to cast this spell, nor how long it lasts, nor how much land it can cover, nor even if it can be broken. ![]() Instead, they are loosely described as a charm that makes all muggles in an area remember forgotten appointments, encouraging them to leave. The muggle repelling charms are not well defined in the books. Hogwarts is full of muggle repelling charms as well as being unplottable. This appears to be something that muggles cannot do. So to the question of who would win in a muggles vs wizards fight, I think muggles stand a chance. Muggles could win a fight against wizards if they surprise the wizards and have some luck. The Harry Potter books heavily imply that the wizards could easily beat muggles in a fight. Magic is very powerful in the Harry Potter universe. In the World of Harry Potter, Could Muggles Defeat Wizards in a Fight? ![]()
