Top 5 Tactics Muggles would Use to Win the Second Wizarding War (and how we would do it better)

Hello again. Hope you're all well! This list is just showing how wizards are sometimes a bit conventional and not very resourceful, and how maybe, just maybe, throwing underarmed, underprepared bodies forward wasn't necessarily the best option. Let's go!



1: Nuke 'Em

I mean seriously, no-one thought of this? Not even the Muggle-Borns? There were countless opportunities for Harry & Co to just drop a bomb and call it a day. For example; Harry could have bombed the death eaters when he saw them gathered in the clearing. Just phone a pilot and call it a day! 
And I know you might say; "Oh Noah, surely the Death Eaters could just use Wingardium Leviosa to stop the bomb, but in the world of Harry Potter there's got to be a spell to prevent that. Many other enchantment could be useful in magnifying, controlling and powering the bomb.


2: Bad Sportsmanship 
So yes, you want to be a nice person, but when the world is in your hands just take a cheap shot. Harry should have let the others fire on Voldemort, just in case he was wrong about his theory. there were countless other opportunities, especially for Voldemort to beat Harry. 
Obviously Harry couldn't just have died in the first book, but still.... Anyway, I really don't see why Voldemort, being Voldemort, wouldn't just have killed Harry, especially in book 4, where he had the best chance. Anyway, I guess he never learns.


3: Guerilla Tactics 
Surely Guerilla Tactics would have been a smart move. Sabotaging the Malfoy house, ambushing the Death Eaters while they wait in the woods in book 7. Anyway, as I am generally a fan of brainy moves, I would have liked to see someone, especially the Death Eaters, use these tactics. 
So many chances were missed when a well placed bomb or a sniper could have been useful to win the war. But I guess Harry Potter was just a bit too magical for the use of Muggle methods, and probably found this one below them, a trait I find troublesome in Wizards.


4: Inventions
Wizards are clearly pretty capable when it comes to inventions, and if Harry & Co had set Fred and George or anyone else who was good at creating magical things to work, helping them to win the war.

Examples of stuff they could make would be; a plague-spreader, some sort of gas machine, grenades, etc. But it wasn't to be, sadly, and this could be one of the reasons the Lupins, Fred, the Creeveys had to die.





5: Early Prep

Maybe a harder one to put into action, but a good idea nonetheless, some organization that wasn't rushed and spontaneous would have done Harry & Co dearly. Protection of important figures in the wizarding world (e.g. Rufus Scrimgeour) would also have helped. 
This links up with the others on this list and despite not being completely sure of Voldemort's attack plans, alerted and trained people would help, and they could be alerted on short notice. This would have left Harry with more allies and helpers, although it would be better if it were to be organized by someone else. 



As always, welcome back, and I hope this post finds you well. Sorry for the silly idea, and that is why I could use your guy's help if you would please comment suggestions, queries, etc. below. I can see how many of you view this! Anyway, please subscribe to my blog and share it with anyone who might enjoy it. Noah ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

A Revised History of Ekrizdis, the Evilest Wizard Ever

Image
JK Rowling has written a few brief pieces about the evil Ekrizdis, but has barely scraped the surface of this loathsome character, and has left a lot shrouded by the mists of mystery. An intriguing character, Ekrizdis is the physical form of madness and evil, and today I will attempt to erase a few of the question marks surrounding this creepy character. Firstly, let's go over the little information we have  been given.  He was a Dark inventor who was born somewhere during the fifteenth century. He was traveling the North Sea for an unknown reason when he came across a tiny island, which was basically just a big rock jutting out of the sea. There was no life there, and he decided to become the island's first inhabitant.  After casting sufficient protection charms, he created a huge fortress, which eventually became Azkaban, and resumed his experiments on Muggle sailors who unintentionally passed through his territory. He created many Dark things, most notably Dementors, before

Real Survivor: The Fox, the Bear, the Goat and the Bunny

Survivor fans such as myself are mostly familiar with certain terminology. For example, to be purpled is to be placed in the complete background of a particular editing, to the extent where you are utilized like the shelter or water well, firmly in the background of a lot of scenes without being in the forefront barring something bad happening to you, like the shelter being blown over or the well being contaminated. Perhaps the first bit of terminology that has a unique meaning is to be a goat, or someone who is used like an extra vote by another player or group of players. However, where the name "Goat" actually came from is something many fans, even hardcore ones, do not know the answer to. They would point to where someone like Ethan Zohn said it in early seasons and credit it to them. The person who actually coined this term is SurvivorSucks user sunsawed, whose article can be found here . Basically, he stated that most Survivor final fours consist of four different playe

Survivor 41 Cast: Most Similar Player - Part 2

Image
To find out my criteria, etc. please check out Part 1. Please share my post with your friends and without further ado, let's head right in. Danny McCray - Brad Culpepper  I really think Danny is going to end up having been one of the underrated players on this cast. So many people (including me) anticipated a big strong oaf who would boss challenges but portray "the emotional range of a teaspoon" to quote Hermione Granger. This was something most also thought would be true of Brad Culpepper, but both seem emotionally and mentally intelligent as well as being huge Survivor fans, and I think Danny will likely play a game similar to Brad's Game Changers performance, especially if he can survive the first post-merge vote. Naseer Muttalif - Johnathan Penner  Why he was predicted for a first boot I do not know. This prediction is looking a bit more into the future, but I definitely see at least one flip coming from Naseer. I think he will turn out as a above-par player who
