Hi, everyone

  "Sorry if I misunderstood you, but it did sound like you meant Muggles in

  battle to defeat Voldemort.  It does make a lot more sense to think that 
  the parents of "mudbloods" would help in the fight against Voldemort.  They 
  already know all about magic and Hogwarts, so there would be no problem 
  there.  I'm just not too sure what a Muggle could do against a dark wizard 
  as powerful as Voldemort, not to mention his followers.  After all, even 
  most wizards didn't have much of a chance against him."


  I think that there is a fundamental different (aside from the use/non-use of magic) between the Wizarding World and the Muggle one.  While Wizards have strange powers, they are still HUMAN.  Even Voldemort is still human, with human vulnabilities.  I suspect that Wizards are strong individually, while Muggles are strong in groups.  to make three points:

  1) Magic needs emotional strenth as well as the abillity to cast spells. Remenber Moody/Crouch in GOF, where he comments that the massed strenth of the Fourth Years could cast the AK unforgivable curse and he would not get as much as a nosebleed.  Therefore, possibly wizards can only cast a limited number of spells without rest.

  2) as I said above, wizards are human.  Muggle bullets will kill them just as effectivly as the AK curse.  

  3)  We do not know of any spell that is equivilent to the Atomic Bomb.  If something like that existed, surley it would be one of the unforgivables?

  Any comments

  Chris

  ps: has anyone read the 'age of misrule' books?  Thats humans up against really supernatual beings that make Voldemort look like a tadpole.
