Harry Potter vs RoboCop

[tp4tissue]

Magical spells as described in the books are extremely slow relative to bullets..

Most of them could be "seen" and tracked by the naked eye..



Robocop could shoot and kill Harry with "a bullet"   before most spells have a chance to take effect..


Assuming the standoff starts from 0 preperation, (no shield spells/ invulnerability frames)

Then Robocop would clearly win

Harry can go invis mode, therefore speed is no issue.

no, but invis doesn't stop bullets..

Robocop could shot all high probability movement vectors, before harry has a chance to move in those directions..

Robocop gun is fully automatic.


I also think if it's a wand-type spell,   wand-waving would at least be required, which is slower than pulling a trigger..

And if the spell type requires chanting, then obviously a very dead harry..

Not to mentioned, Harry could use his broomstick to fly around.
But then again, his Firebolt got lost somewhere in the books. I can't recall.

oh no it's instant (a cape), I'd imagine Harry would be wearing it at all times and would have the preemptive strike on roboman, plus surely Harry could pop up a shielding spell.

It would go like this:
 - Robo oiling himself (so he doesn't squeak)
 - Harry sneaks up with his cape (obviously invis)
 - Before popping out from his invis he casts a protection spell
 - Sneaks up behind Robo, starts chanting/waving his rod (all the while still invis)
 - Lights Robo on fire
 - If he misses he is still rechnically invis/has the barrier of protection

magic > bullets

This +1.

Magically blocks spells & physical entities.
So that is confirmed. Whether Harry could cast it quick enough is another story. But I think it's no problemo.

He is invis, so casting is no issue =)

That's the thing,  you guys are assuming harry casts first..

I don't think that's how a fight would go down.


They have to both start  -non- buffed..


because if you say, harry can go invis, and sneak up on robo while robo is oiling his bearings..

Why couldn't robo sneak up on harry, with a 50 cal sniper rifile from like a mile away, while harry is brushing his teeth..

Fair call, fair call...

Hermione will help Harry thus Robocop would get owned

Plus she's hawt

These always seem imba when its X vs Magic. 

If its dueling style, I think Harry would win. Too easy to make a shield on first move and then disapparate elsewhere in the locale to sneak attack.

[mobbo]

I mean even if Harry took an initial bullet, as long as he didn't die instantly in the fight couldn't he just "avada kedavra gg"?

[Waateva]

If they are in a dueling situation akin to a standoff I would imagine RoboCop would win, assuming he was actually trying to kill Harry.  Harry could certainly cast his spells but RoboCop should theoretically be able to place a fatal headshot on Harry within a second of the duel starting, so unless Harry Potter spits hot fire like Dylan I don't think he could even cast the spells fast enough for them to do anything.

A 50 Cal would xplode harry in 2 pieces..

I don't see how fire makes a difference..  In robocop 3,  he was shot and set on fire..    Robocop was fine..

I think ur thinking if the fireballs also had a great deal of "kinetic" energy, 


But i guess then we have to discuss fireballs..  because they're different from a Cannon-ball.   

A cannon ball would certainly kill robocop.

What about kamehamehas?

[bocahgundul]

Robocop wins

[piemancoder]

Robocop wins

No, Spock wins. Spock always wins. Or the Doctor. But usually Spock.
