So you decided to go to war with Wizards

[axeman157]

Dragons with mini-Cthulhus riding them, dragons are immune to magic and mini-Cthulhus are gods of madness, what else could you want?

 

[Carbonyl]

I really have no idea what happens in the end of Harry Potter, and I have desire to, but if a needed to fight a bunch of wizards.... I want badgermoles. An army of badgermoles. I will tunnel beneath them and then bury them under hundreds of pounds of dirt, leaving them to the worms.

 

[Wushu Panda]

I'm gonna have to go with snipers, land mines, stealth teams and big presents that blow up in their faces. If it's the wizards from the books the vast majority have no idea what our weapons look like or how they work. The worst thing you could do is be straight forward.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Conventional weaponry. Our military alone could wipe them all out without any difficulty.
Its these guys:

Spoiler

Against these guys.

Spoiler

No real question there.

 

[soren7550]

My plans of a nuke or a bunch of guys with guns have already been taken and repeated a bunch of times.

But I want to be able to do magic, so can I take theirs? (in truth, I'd think I'd rather have Naruto ninja magic or Avatar element magic than Hogwarts magic, but some kind of magic is better than none right?)

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I sneak up on the wizard and beat him to death with his own skull.

...Or just let them fight it out and reward the winner with a cap to the skull.

That doesn't seem physically possible.

[small]That's just what Jimmy said.[/small]

I'd just nuke Scotland and be done with them.

 

[badgersprite]

Ents.

Worked pretty well that one time.

It's amazing how people with no knowledge of magic in Harry Potter think they stand a chance with any non-magical offensive. Where are you sending your trained killers? Wizards don't live in some wizard country, they live everywhere, and you have no way of differentiating wizard from muggle. Hogwarts is unplottable and to a muggle appears as an empty, ruined castle. The Ministry? Under London. You can't get in. Try brute force and you'll just end up in the underground. They use dimensional and psychological enchantments that have been in place for ages.

Correcting rampant misconceptions and reminding of various powers: They can use wandless magic, they can use wordless magic, they can kill without avada kedavra, they can rewrite your memory, turn your guns against you, transfigure every bullet you have into cotton balls before you know they have apparated in your midst.

Keep singing the praises of human military when up against wizards, it makes me laugh. Try coming up with something more impressive than nuking random cities, suburbs, and fields in the hopes of killing wizards that can disapparate in a moment. I could honestly go on and on explaining why we would be completely at their mercy, but I've probably already written more than most of you will be willing to read.

TLDR

But seriously, do go on. I especially want to hear the part about how Wizards will be able to block sniper shots from a mile away when they're completely unaware of what is happening. Everything that a wizard does to fight back requires their concentration. If they don't know what is going to hit them, or if they don't have enough time to react, they are just as vulnerable as regular muggles.

 

[Gladiateher]

A bunch of Marine Scout Snipers and Delta Force operatives. The snipers would take out the more expeerienced/powerful ones before they even knew what was going on and the Delta Force guys would be in and among them blowing stuff up and causing general mayhem.

This but with air and artillery support. A would use a multi-arms assault to annihilate them.

 

[MorsePacific]

I'll just drop the hammer on Hogwarts and knock off for lunch. Lets see them magic their way out of a radioactive mushroom cloud!

I was going to bust out some large, overcomplicated assault strategy, but screw it. I agree with this. I mean, why not? It's apparently in some hidden, unreachable part of England, so I doubt anyone would be affected.

 

[infohippie]

Send in Space Battleship Yamato. Wizards gonna stand up to the Wave Motion Gun? Didn't think so.

There's no kill like over-kill.

 

[sapphireofthesea]

Germ warfare and nerve gases.
Combine both with surprise and you hit them where it hurts hardest.

Reason being, they do get sick (I'll give you with very odd diseases) but hit them with some serious warfare germs and they will be dead in hours. Nerve gas is even better for the surprise. One gram of VX nerve gas will take out a room in a few seconds (paralasis in about 2 seconds of exposure). Good for a surpirse hit or middle of a standard gunfight (they concentrating on movement not whats in the air).

As for some people suggesting they can redirect bullets and such, HP magic is not that strong. Large objects have limits and large creatures the same. Fast objects just as much. So bullets (barring a wall of earth sort of thing would still work) would still move too fast to be singled out by a spell. However, they would be very effective at infultration and sneaking (hence germs, with good guys having imunity, and nerve gases, would hurt the hardest).

Also, they are banned in standard warfare for a reason, they are just too damned effective at causing pain, suffering and death.

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

Guns. Lot's of them.

And aistrikes.
Let's see how an army of Death Eaters stand up against a cluster bomb dropping on them.

 

[Atomic Skull]

Wizards are completely mystified by technology and science, it says so right in the books. It's as magical to them as magic is to muggles.

So they wouldn't even be able to conceive of a way to stop say a submarine launched nuclear missile because such things are beyond their understanding.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Snipers, stealth close combat fuckers, traps, explosives, you name it.
If they can't see it coming how are they suppose to defend against it?
I suppose some of the stronger wizards may be able to conteract the hidden stuff and thats why we will hire some other wizards to teach us how to use magic.
Game over, wizards!

 

[Sprinal]

I would use my lovely Low Orbit Ion Cannon... r LOIC for short... DDOS atacks worked for Anonymous right? Okay I would not use the software I would use the one of CnC. That would do the trick. ANd if it didn't I would use a SINGULARITY (very heavy) gun. Probably from orbit too

 

[Jacco]

I think the choice is obvious.
ZERG RUSH BABY!
lets see harry potter take on a few thousand zerg.

That image seriously just made my night. Especially the thought of someone we know from the books getting attacked by them and then popping into a blood splatter with that "bluahhh!" scream. hahahaha

The Imperium of Man and in particular the Adeptus Astartes deal with magical threats far, far FAR worse than Potterverse wizards all the freaking time. If they had trouble hunting them down among the population they'd just order an Exterminatus of the entire planet.

But one way or another, they would win. Even if it meant sterilizing the planet from orbit.
