"Don't say Vader was the Emperor pet bitch and lost the battle because of feelings."
DannyRosado
Voldemort was a pussy that's why
TheMagicGoat
He did take over Hogwarts for most of Hallows though. That's why Snaps was headmaster and death eaters were teaching DADA and muggle studies

warriorbard
Actually the galaxy being that large is an indication as to why it's impossible for ANYONE to rule the galaxy.
GhostbusterGuy
Voldemort took over the entire country, including the school for most of the year. And Darth Vader didn't rule the galaxy, the Emperor did.
SoMuchPooPooSon
Who cares? In the end they both failed. All that matters is how you finish

Vadar had Palpatine who basically was in control of the galaxy to begin with. Voldemort had a lot more to deal with.

I liked Driver's performance in This Is Where I Leave You. Hope he can continue to land similar roles.

Voldemort was a rebel fighting aqainst status quo (ministry of magic i.e. empire). From certain point of view HP is closer to DV than Luke.

I feel like Kylo should be hero worshiping the emperor and not Vader. It seemed to me they just added vader for the audience.

Well it's like Darth Vader was sort of the role model. Ex: Captain America with the U.S. Everyone wants to be Cpt. and not some politician.
Jufasa
But he isn't related to the emperor and Vader defeated the emperor and therefore is more powerful
Sprixxen
I don't know how sneaking up behind someone while they're busy and throwing them down a shaft makes you more powerful...

As many have said, Emperor ruled, not Vader. This is why Sauron beats you all. Sauron for the win!

But he became an Evil Lord on his own, and I do believe I saw some hinting at him being equally powerful towards the end.

Morgoth destroyed half a continent, or at least, made it sink into the sea if I remember right...THAT now, is power
Aerolfoz
Nùmenor? That was the gods, brought on by Sauron corrupting humanity.
Pheralg
I think I remembered kind of wrong, what I was talking about was Beleriand, and it's destruction might have been a consequence of the war1/2
VanDerJoik
Not even close. Morgoth was a vala who ruled Arda for aeons, creating Orcs, dragons and creatures . He is evil and darkness incarnate
VanDerJoik
Sauron merely ruled in Mordor and lost two wars. His tricks never accomplished much except (not by him) the destruction of Numenor
Aerolfoz
All right I forgot Morgoth then, should have said him. Damnit.

harry had a twig, luke had a sword. harry had a broom, luke had a space ship (im not hating on HP, just wanted to say this)

Luke is a gifted wizard. Harry is not. (Not hating hp. But that's somehow the point of the story)

Harry's a fairly gifted wizard

Except force users can also do magic, but don't need a tool. They can also call their weapon to them from a distance, unlike wizards

But can't wizards do some magic without a wand?
AtomicSuperMe
from what i know, no. they must have a wand to do most magic tricks, excluding potion effects

To a very small extend. Powerful wizards like dumbledore and voldemort can kinda make it work, but most in the wizard society are useless1/2

Luke is pretty useless even with his saber.

Except the Highschool had the equivelant of 15-30 nuclear weapons running around and an impenetrateable shield.
secretlibby
Impenetrable.
barnwolf
Did anyone in the HP books even come close to wiping a city off the face of the earth? Pretty sure they weren't nuclear weapon strength.
HorseMcFucker
You see, that's the misconception. There Is a spell documented and mentioned - can't remember Its name - that would do that.
barnwolf
Heck, a handgun or a sniper rifle would have won most of their duels to the death.
Aerolfoz
A single shot from a Star Destroyer turbolaser has a strenght of about 2000 terajoules. That's the power of a modern thermonuclear weapon.
Comradesjeltonarmy
And it somehow destroys a planet. I feel like those numbers are low.
Comradesjeltonarmy
Whoops. I messed up. I know the difference between Star Destroyers and the Death Star. BOY are my cheeks red.
Aerolfoz
Yep. The Death Star of course detonates planets and is far, far, far more powerful than 30 nukes.

Ya and Voldie had more powerfull nuclear weapons. Death eater>students.

The turbolaser turrets (You know, the ones that act like 88mm flak cannons) are in reality as powerful as tactical nukes. With each shot.

How good were all those shield when they had a one hole that destroys the station.

Well the shields were so good the rebels knew they couldn't overwhelm them so they took out the gennys. Shields up, Episode 3 has a sad end

That because the wizards in Harry Potter are not as ruthless as they should be I would just be levitating people real high and dropping them

The genocidal megalomaniac Voldemort was not as ruthless as he should be...Also, levitation isn't as powerful as a nuclear missile.

I was just giving an example of being ruthless. A wizard could kidnap the president steal his memories and replace him in a heartbeat.
LifeOfCray
If they're so powerful, then why are they hiding? They wouldn't even know what a gun does until they were bleeding out on the floor.
LifeCastingDoneByGod
No voldermort just didn't have a good plan
TheThroneOfGames
protego followed by avada kedavra, and bombarda maxima if you're taking cover. Literally no chance against a semi skilled wizard.
hitshappens
Combat in Harry Potter was pretty much all for show. Some missiles,drones, and sniper rifles could have dealt with the whole issue
hitshappens
You're not going to protego faster than a bullet, avada kedavra is easily dodged. Bombarda maxima has less range than a gun.
TheThroneOfGames
And where did you find the range of bombarda maxima?
TheThroneOfGames
also a skilled wizard can just make themselves invisible instantly, so what are you aiming at?
hitshappens
Heat signatures. Drones don't need visible light.
TheThroneOfGames
you don't have to aim protego, just move wand ~1 foot so it is easily used before someone aims and shoots.
hitshappens
Well considering the fact that Rowling put very little thought into the math of Harry Potter, I assumed it was something that wouldn't (1/2)
hitshappens
(2/2)accidentally kill everyone every time you use bombarda maxima. Also, protego is pretty short lived.

Just remember, combat in books is made underpowered for epic fights. Real combat is not glorious. It's harsh, quick, and brutal.
