>every student in ugadou knows wandless magic and is an animagus (some of the hardest forms of magic)
so, any mediocre ugadou graduate could completely destroy the best european wizards like dumbledore or grindelwald. voldemort wanted to take over the wizarding world but i doubt he was aware of just how overpowered african wizards were. he wouldn't stand a chance
harry potter game set in ugadou when?

Dumbledore and Voldy could both cast magic without a wand. Snape could aslo do it I believe.
This was a huge retcon. Wandless magic was something that only a master could accomplish in the books.
But of course blacks have to be special snowflakes.
Shit could they? I only remember them ever using wands never without even in the books as well as the films.
The big climax in TOotP (film) is Dumble and Vold going at it without wands.
Books =/= films though. It's been a long time since I was a kid, but I don't distinctly recall in the book that they weren't using their wands.
You can see their wands in the Ministry fight scene. A wand=easier more concentrated casting. Wandless magic without a ton of practice is just a crapshoot for most like Harry magically making the zoo glass disappear or Voldemort saying he could hurt people or catching his drapes on fire to show Dumbledore.
Fair enough I'm drunk
Cheers, friend
>Ministry of Magic
>Authoritarian spystate government that likes to track every and all wizards that it can
>Brainwashes people in to thinking they need wands to use magic
Actually it all adds up.
It was stupid to make nig magic a thing but there are some caveats. Technically all wizards do wandless magic and its always been that way since Harry does it without even realizing in the first book and Voldemort could do it as a child as well. The thing is its less easily molded to what you actually want, even the nig in HL says the wand makes it easier and she now prefers it. So you can if you want interpret in the same way Black folk never figured out how to make boats because they're too stupid. They were also too stupid to figure out wands.
Maybe they don't have magic wood there, but I think that's wrong because many cultures have had ideas that magic/mana/etc live in all sorts of things.
What if magic spears
>Oi, you got a loicense for that wondless magick?
Sounds about right to me
Don't forget that the entirety of Asia (>60% of the world's population) only has 1 wizarding school
Blacks cant afford wands
Underrated post
I just assume this dumb Black person child doesn't know what she's talking about and I'm not sure why people give her so much credibility. Kids talk shit all the time.

It's the humidity, it's depressing.

Maybe he's talking about ritual magic? That would make sense.

But the Mahouka MC is the very essence of one
Oh man he's a total Gary Stu, but that's how he stretches the limit of the riveting magic system, by his sheer bullshittery, that's
makes it awesome. Great supporting cast too.
To be honest, I never read Wheel of Time book I know the original author died part way through. As a kid I never knew about those books like I did with HP, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl, the series about the alemchysts (I forget what its called) etc. Maybe I should re read that shit but I'm a little old now and a little busy with the Japanese equivalent (VNs and anime)
>liking sasuga onii-san without a hint of irony
ooooooof
>the series about the alemchysts
The Nicolas Flamel series? Loved those books when I was younger.
That's what I figured, that it wasn't literally the same spells sans wand but rather completely different types of spells that were probably less powerful that could be done wandless.
maybe anyone can do wandless magic and the wizard government is just lying to the people so they can force wizards to register wands?
Anyone can, it's just that every other nation of Wizards have issues controlling their magic without a conduit, which has led to a few serious accidents and deaths, see Dumbledore's sister. Hogwarts in particular does not teach it's students any sort of wandless magic except for Apparition, which is only optionally taught to sixth year students.
What she didn't say is you have to paint yourself with animal blood and then smoke ayahuasca.
It could be an interesting take if there was some drawback to the style that they consider worth it overall - maybe they can only use a limited number of spells, perhaps they have some remote focus, could be that it's very draining and they must train stamina and dexterity in order to use it, which sacrifices time from studying other types or makes it more tiring and rarer to properly execute (which would be ideal for some sort of monastery style but whatever) but making interesting lore or playing fair is the antithesis to israeli BEHAVIOR IT'S THE israeliteS THE israeliteS ARE EVIL KILL ALL israeliteS CHRIST IS KING
There is a drawback, the spells are more basic and not specific at all. Like if you wanted a fire spell it's probably just be a short ranged blast only going a foot outward whereas a wand would let you shoot a more accurate, longer ranged spell.
>Hogwarts student learns about all the different schools of magic, alchemy, herbalism, magical beasts, flying on brooms, ghosts, math probably
>"We here at Uagadou spent 8 years teaching N'gubu how to turn into a water buffalo at will"
There has to be some big downsides to casting difficult spells without a focus.
"drains stamina and dexterity" ok do it again but don't sound like an RPG brained goober
My biggest problem with the Harry Potter series is just how magic is so ill-defined. It doesn't come from anything, there's no rhyme or reason for someone being a prodigy, there's no cost of using magic, it's limitless yet they base their entire economy in Britain around a back alley from a pub. It bothered me as a kid and it still bothers me as a manchild.
I never understood how spell crafting was supposed to work since incantations were never explained. A lot of details that could have made the world more interesting that we'll never get.
Watch Mahouka, if you have enough autism the worldbuilding will resonate perfectly with you like it did with me and you'll be able to think up an explanation for any bullshit in the series from within the series silly framework(!) like I was able too. The magic system is just absolute SEX
Will do. Slight tangent, I read the Circle of Magic series by Tamora Pierce as a kid and I think magic was well-explained there as well. People had affinities for magic and went to school to cultivate that affinity. It's been nearly two decades but I want to say they were good kids books with magic.
Thanks bro that shit is like crack to me, love well explained magic, when I was a kid I fricking loved the Eragon series of books. The magic in that was sick too
Same, man. Eragon was cool but I also hadn't seen Star Wars (don't know how either) so it was all very novel to me. Is Wheel of Time worth reading?
Why do they need invisible horses to pull flying carriages when you could just enchant a carriage to fly like a broom does?
This question is the key for me. I've concluded that there's inherent proportionality to magic, it just is more intuitive rather than physical.
Part of being a strong wizard is understanding the correct proportionality of a spell based on your will, those of others, the context, and what source you're channeling.
Harry Potter verse doesn't talk about channeling, which is the essence of all magic, because I think the idea is that modern wizards sort of suck.
The wands are channels to a kind of Akashic record built by past wizards, who knew magic more intimately and understood proportionality and greater mysteries and derived spells from them, incantations were invented and taught, and so the literal words of an incantation entered the Akashic record, and the inborne magic of places like England or whereever were built as sources aeons ago by fairies and demi-gods and so forth.
So Harry Potter wizards are all channeling, but at a much lower level that they all take for granted.
This is why the learn incantations, because it's what's known to work.
It's why shit wizards can't even do many incantations at all, and why great wizards generally don't need to speak incantations to conduct magic, and can also sort of "shoot from the hip" to create bizarre, non-intuitive charms.
The actual answer is that Rowling doesn't really think that far ahead, she thinks of something cool and adds it for the sake of it, hence she had Hermione casting dark curses on random students by year 5 after making a huge stink about how bad dark magic is in the previous 4.
Thestralls are a great idea to represent who and who hasn't witnessed death, but having them pull the carriages is pointless because as you correctly surmise, this is a world in which common household appliances can be charmed to move on their own.
>Why do they need invisible horses to pull flying carriages when you could just enchant a carriage to fly like a broom does?
Because it's cool as frick you moron and keeps them protected

Aww Ganker are you being genocided by a harry potter game now? I'm so sorry for you I know it must be tough constantly getting genocided by children's games.
The movies and to a degree the latter books really over simplified and mechanized magic.
Consider in book one Harry's 11 year old level herbs book has like 400 real world herbs in it and the basic magical properties associated with them.
The author mentions literally one or two offhand as mere examples, but this becomes like the recurring magical herb in all Harry Potter assets after that.
Hogwarts students learn literal, basic muggle astronomy as a core curriculum.
They learn alchemy, like the thousands of complicated symbols, sigils and philosophies of medieval alchemists which includes elements of real chemical science as well as mystery teachings about the soul.
For the first book, it's easy to present magic as more real, and that was the whole point.
But later on it becomes this sort of parallel world that's more fantastical and cartoonish, rather than some secret truth that lives alongside the real world.
After Movie 4 they all get cool modern clothes. In the first book, the reason they had robes and wizards hats is because you're supposed to think of them like those random literal weirdo hippies that hang around Glastonbury messing with crystals and yoga.
Basically, magic is more complicated and not as clean or robotic until the franchise became its own consoomerist beast.
My nerd lore concept is that the trees and hills of England "remember" archetypical spells in a sort of Akashic record.
So you can cast a "confringo" spell without a wand and without those words.
But after so many wizards manifest that magic with that incantation, the wand actually accesses the Akashic record and the magic of the land of England helps the wizard cast the spell more easily.
Basically, post-Merlin wizards are weak sauce with very minimal connections to magic, and primal or more ancient magic users could manifest will into reality more intuitively and naturally.
If Africa is so great why didnt that Black person stay there?
>Harry Potter
>worldbuilding
The story is a janky shit-show that falls apart the moment you spend a single brain-cell thinking about it. The magic system makes no sense. The locations and culture make no sense. The plot constantly contradicts itself or makes up game-changing shit to resolve trivial plot points and then promptly forgets about them.
I modded her to be white
They only did this because africans have no culture to pull from, the other schools all center their lore around stuff that's stereotypical to the place where they are, like how Ilvermorny pulls from both native american and puritan stuff, all southern africans have is 5,000 years of cowdung huts.
it is an asspull freebie for brownie points, but they do say that their magic is unprecise, unfocused and wild.
They're basically shamans, which is kinda funny.
student in ugadou knows wandless magic and is an animagus (some of the hardest forms of magic)
yes but on the trade off theyre shit at regular magic no accrio worth a shit they gotta turn into frickin birds and fly over to whatever they wanna grab
IF you wanted to defend this trash fire (which you should not, you should have stopped caring after the God awful last book) you could suggest they simply have a different methodology which makes certain things easier.
That doesn't make them better or worse, simply more specialised in certain ways. Presumably this sort of methodological difference would be the only way to really make other schools interesting.
they have to do a whole dance and some sacrifices to cast a wingardium leviosa
how the frick does being able to turn into a deer make you powerful
Sure seems like a lot of /misc/ tourists ITT read a series by a woman. Cringe much?
/misc/ is a tabloid board, they go wherever there's juicy gossip and drama afoot, usually to stir the pot even further.
>all the coping and excuses in this thread

I mean you could drive a nail into a plank of wood without a hammer. But isn't it much less 'damaging' and much more efficient to just use a tool?
Wh*toids don't be seasoning they spells and they don't be washing they chicken yo
africa magic is powerful
Unfortunately, the dust will never settle on one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously, each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

Godlike post. Race aside Neil is a fricking hackfraud only barely above Bill Nye
Nah this is pretty based because since she's unregistered animagus you can just out her to the minisitry and she goes straight to azkaban.
Let's be honest, Harry Potter is beyond moronic and the game is just continuing that trend
>Harry finds out in the first book that he is monstrously rich
>is never brought again afterwards
They bring Harry's wealth up multiple times. He has more than a few instances where he's either self concious with Ron not being able to buy souvenirs or candy, Ron often makes passive comments about it. Harry feels guilty every holiday at the Burrow because they pinch and scrape for second hand robes. He finances the twin's joke shop because he literally doesn't want or need his triwizard winnings. I'm sure there's more, but even if you don't like the series, you're just being disingenuous with points like that
Then why does he and his moronic family live in a middle class house? Why does he not give Ron's family some of that money given that they are dirt poor apparently?
>Then why does he and his moronic family live in a middle class house?
Because his entire fortune is in wizard money and the Dursley's want nothing to do with magic. They also would probably never take handouts from him.
>Then why does he and his moronic family live in a middle class house?
I'd say because you can't use Wizard money in the muggle world.
But I think some of that wizard money is literally gold coins so idk
Also, Harry hates the Dursleys
Harry's idea is that he is only to use that wealth for school expenses until he's of age.
Flaunting your money around is a bad thing anyway. The last thing you need is to become a target for some common thug or some chuckle fricks trying to pretend to be your friend just so they can borrow money from you all the time.
>JK Rowling introduces time travel devices
>realizes that opens a bunch of plotholes
>so she puts every single time travel device in the universe into a single cabinet and has Neville Longbottom knock them over, permanently destroying them all
The process of becoming an animagus is fricking stupid anyways, it's like holding a leaf in your mouth for a whole month and spitting it out at midnight into a moonbeam or some shit. Like, it's not hard to do, just a gigantic pain in the ass. Considering how useful being an animagus is you'd think everyone would try to do it.
It's actually a very risky process that can cause you to assume a half man, half creature abomination if you don't follow the intructions to a T, not to mention you don't have any control of what form you get, and you have to register yourself with the ministry once you've gained your animagus form or else face Azkaban time (although Rita Skeeter keeps hers a secret).
You all complain about the Uagadou wizards but the MC for this game is, by far, the most OP HP character in the entire universe, he just effortlessly learns numerous spells in minutes that would take most students years, he combines them in ways no other wizard thinks about doing, he can dodge spells, he has a higher bodycount than Voldemort and makes Dumbledore looks like a baby, he can learn every Unforgivable Curse with ease and toss them out like candy, and this isn't even including the ancient magic shit
All of the magic in these books is basically just made up on the spot anyways, there was never any consistent logic to them
whats with all the harry potter shitposting starting back up? dlc when?

HL is in a pretty good position to be talked about again. As for DLC, there's no plans for it
Why did Dumbledore decide to keep a troll chained up in a dungeon in a magical school for children? Wouldn't that be a huge safety risk or something?
>troll
Did you mean the giant three headed dog? If you're talking about the troll in Sorcerer's Stone, that thing was snuck into the school by Quirrell to cause a distraction
Why didn't Voldemort just shoot Harry with a gun?
Because Voldemort hates anything that's muggle in origin
Why didn't Harry just shoot Voldemort with a Fentanyl tipped wrist crossbow bolt?

You homosexuals need to stop trying to stir up shit when anyone that actually played the game knows the niglet is a fraud.
Becoming an animagus is one of the most moronic things JKR created. Not the concept itself, but the actual process is so fricking stupid that I don't know why she ever bothered detailing it.
