I have read the Harry Potter series and I like it, even though I am not one of those fans that re-read the series twenty times and know all the details of every of the seven books... There are several things that I do not agree with in the HP series, but the most obvious for me is this: I think that the Avada Kedavra curse is irrelevant, something that the characters would not really need because, if you analyze their powers, you can quickly realize that they would have so many ways to kill.
My question is, how lethal do you think that the Wizards and Witches from the Harry Potter world really are??
I think that a quick way to kill with the magic that they have would be to simply transfigure your victim into a glass statue and smash it, or maybe transfigure them into an apple (then eat the apple) a mouse (squeeze the mouse) or just paralyze your victim and then set on fire, so they burn alive and are helpless to do anything about it.
Why not just turn your victim's blood into muriatic acid inside their bodies?? That would cause an instant collapse and a painful death... now, that "invisible, irresistible force" that they can use, why not break your victim's spine or crush the internal organs with a flick of your wand?? Why not slice the throat or even decapitate with a Sectumsempra slash? I can think of so many creative ways to kill with HP magic, and I wonder why the wizards would need that Avada Kedavra thing =P
I have also imagined that those Wizards could attack Muggle cities by turning large parts of the air into some sort of nerve gas or phosgene, and they have that Fiendfyre thing that is basically a sentient napalm that gets out of control and seems to destroy everything... Would the Wizards be capable of actually destroying cities and quickly exterminate the muggles causing millions of casualties??
