Most of it breaks the secrecy laws and the outer space stuff would need a lot of cooperation which wizards don't do very well.

I've wondered also,but this guy has clearly thought it through a lot more than I ;)

It was always kinda in the back of my head. Like they'd do shit that we'd HAVE to do, and I'd think...but...MAGIC! Use the fucking MAGIC!

Kids can barely use their wands, they'd more easily kill a person with a gun than have the willpower to cast avada kedavra ;|

Everyone knows magical people have no logic.

I'm pretty sure the anti-muggle faction squashes most such ideas. Witch hunts, unsuccess as they tended to be, are still a sore spot, too.

That is not how magical spells work. Especially not "Accio." This guy needs to go back and read the series again.
PhilosophicalGinger
Magic essentially breaks our modern conception of what the laws of the natural world ARE. This comic is an exercise in deconstructing some
PhilosophicalGinger
of the assumptions/ideas that we take for granted when reading a series. It's all in good fun,
princessbunnie
& were hard to accomplish. For accio, you need to know where the object is and concentrate. Similar concept with apparition. They had rules.
princessbunnie
I always forget to put the (2/2) on these things
princessbunnie
While that could be true of the concept of "magic" itself, the magic used in the HP series required saying spells, certain movements, (1/2)
princessbunnie
But I understand what you're saying- we're talking about fictional things after all so she could've made magic able to do all those above
PhilosophicalGinger
Well in HP too, magic isn't JUST spells and wands. Those are just focusing devices. Magic is basically using the mind to change the world.
princessbunnie
http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/barb/HPATPS.html its an AU of the 5th 6th and 7th years at hogwarts - you have to read it youll love it
princessbunnie
I'm not sure how into HP fanfiction you are but I feel like you would love it! Its my favorite fanfiction Ill try to find a link for you :D
princessbunnie
I once read this amazing fanfiction about the nature of magic and it's relationship with the mind and belief system called "psychic serpent"
Dinkleboop
How did this guy end up in Hufflepuff though? Surely Ravenclaw?
DoctorCatDog
You're gonna tell me this dude didn't come up with this stuff while high?
Gigglesworth
Hufflepuff or griffindor. Certainly brave, but it seems he wants to help people. Ravenclaw is more... attempted intelligence and slytherin..
Gigglesworth
Slytherin wouldn't have tried to shout it out in first class, for starters, especially after reminding that you can kill people with wands.
GasBandit
He's not that smart. "Hi I'm new here, can we change everything?"
captainlego
Well maybe he is hard working and loyal, even more so than he is intelligent.
MHMaille
A Ravenclaw wouldn't suggest playing fast and loose with time turners.

Philosophical fan fiction. Not that great, IMO
PhilosophicalGinger
Ugh, I know. Harry Potter is not Ender Wiggin, but apparently the author of HPMOR never got that memo.
Vladnim
The point of a fanfiction is to change something from the original work, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting. Most FanFics do this by (1/?)
Vladnim
Having a different romantic pairing, or changing the personalities of the main characters, HPMOR does this by making Harry a genius. (2/?)
Vladnim
If it's not your thing then you don't have to criticize it. If it is your thing then you should criticize it to try and make it better (3/3)
PhilosophicalGinger
I dislike fanfiction that feels the need to utterly alter a character outside a few sparing details. That's a perfectly legitimate complaint
Cooper1977
Man that's all 100% accurate.
AdrianAmato
But think about it: We also have the technology to do so many cool things, but we don't, and ask yourself why we don't.
AskMeIfImBatman
(3/3) but I have limited space to do so. Point is, the artist isn't completely accurate here. But he does have a few good points in there
arandomsentence
Are you Batman?
AskMeIfImBatman
Yes.
InfinitusEquitas
Found the muggle.
AskMeIfImBatman
Well.. %50 accurate. They use the medieval theme because the castle was made IN MEDIEVAL times. The candles and torches are decorations(1/2)
AskMeIfImBatman
(2/3) not a source of light. The light is either magically there or from the sun coming through the windows. I could literally go on and on
umpbumpfizz
You're talking about the limitations and reality of MAGIC. Let that sink in.
pedrobrv
limitations of the lore within a piece of fiction, delimited by the author herself.
srsgiraffe
All of that makes sense. No i hate HP universe :/
varsil
Eh, if you don't give the wands to kids you're not going to have many competent adult wizards either.
HockeyKong
You need a clear picture in your head of the item you're summoning and where it is with Accio
JustSomeEnglishGuy
Not quite, first image he exits between platforms 8 and 9, should be 9 and 10.
NothingLessThanYourKITA
Trash in space would contribute to space debris--a really fucking dangerous and serious problem we currently face.
littlespacebased
But what if they don't want to take over outterspace and rule the muggles? Perhaps they have different priorities.

Not 100%, maybe just 30%-ish, but it'd still be bitchin' awesome, wizards in space.
captainpizza
Except for the bit about the time tuner. In the HP universe time travel has some pretty significant restrictions
M00t
There's a theory saying that timetravel is harmless because all the consequences of doing it have/are-going-to happen. Paradox can't happen.
danzafan37
Yeah, and I think you can only go back like 5 hours before you get into some wibbly wobbly timey whimey fucking trouble
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpiderman
If you've got a team of magical firefighters, paramedics and teleporters you could do a lot in 5 hours.
captainpizza
except you cant change anything, thats the main issue (Harry and Hermione dont change anything in book 3 look into it)
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpiderman
Isn't the reason that HP time travel is dangerous because you could create a paradox? If you can't change anything there would be no danger.
pedrobrv
A example: Harry was able to cast a huge patronus because he saw himself doing it before returning to the past and actually doing it. 4/4
pedrobrv
The thing about time in HP is that it's very much stable. If someone returns to the past to do something, it means it was already done. 1/?
captainpizza
ITs
captainpizza
It is admittedly a little vague, but what we do know, its safe to say that you couldn't send a bunch of wizards to prevent a large disaster
pedrobrv
You won't create a alternate timeline or anything and won't change the chain of events, you'll just continue the chain. 2/?
pedrobrv
In the case of returning to the past and meeting yourself, you'd remember seeing your future self in the past. 3/?
delaneige
Magic wands don't kill people. Wizards have inherent magical abilities, and wands allow them to better focus their power. If they (1/?)
delaneige
didn't teach kids to use magic wands, they wouldn't learn how to focus their powers properly, which would be way more dangerous. (2/2)
WhiskersTheWondercat
Yes, remember that Tom Riddle used magic before Hogwarts for evil.
Xortberg
He also used it AFTER Hogwarts for evil. Tom Riddle was hella evil.
cleanharry
Is there already a fanfic of wizards conquering the entire solar system? I wonder.
FartsSmellBad
A gay furry fanfic, probably.
frozensonata
Children of the Light by Lomonaaeren there's a bit of slash but it's mostly based between a future group in space.
SomeGrayFox
This needs to be a game.... like rapture but with wizards... on titan.

Magic-users hide in the HP universe because modern technology would fuck them up bigtime.
docvalentinemtl
phantasy star is basically about sorcerers who made machines with their magic and jumped directly from medeval to star wars

We could call it 'Harry Rhodan'.

snotrocketscience
The Galactic Mage by John Daulton is kind of like that. It's about a wizard who explores space by teleporting his castle around.
RufusTheAardvark
I think it was called Mage: The Ascension.
TwelveAngryMuffins
With the aesthetic. I would say the imperium of man would fit that pretty well.

I'm still waiting for Harry in HPMOR to start researching animagus transfigurations and become a shapechanger at will.

If you consider Jedi wizards then Star Wars kinda is.
agamemnonymous
Seems like they sorta just piggybacked "muggle" tech though so
blitherypoop
Kinda. They lived within the larger society.
TheDarkLordOfTrees
My 9th grade lit teacher made the whole class go silent when he proposed that Star Wars was not, in fact, Sci-Fi but fantasy. think about it

Was about to comment on how that would make for some amazing stories...then I read your comment and felt stupid. as. fuck.

zeratul1005
(1/2) ACTUALLY, there is a really good fanfic written by an artificial intelligence scientist, about if harry was raised by a scientist dad-
zeratul1005
(2/x) instead of an dick, and its about 100 multi-page chapters about how harry and the magical universe is when he applies science to magic

Holy shit it has 102 chapters.
maybeamonster
Don't worry, by the time the author is done with the next batch, you'll have easily read them twice over *grumble grumble bitch moan groan*
cookiecakemonster
incredibly good read. better than many many original books i've read. the author is a certified genius and thoroughly philosophical.
StonesOnTheHill
I never could get into it. I like flawed protagonists, who adapt to the world and try to improve themselves. So kinda the opposite of this.
cookiecakemonster
the flaws are there. it starts out as if harry is always right and everyone else is stupid, but then he starts looking kinda evil...
StonesOnTheHill
That seems surprisingly nuanced. Perhaps I should give it another go.

Is this the one where Harry rationalises how to be super rich by converting galleons into gold ingots or something?
StonesOnTheHill
The basic idea was that he was raised by coldy rational, very intelligent people who loves him very much and then works from there.
rwgeaston
That does happen, but it's only a small part of one of the early chapters. The rest is well worth reading.
LiterallyCanada
Right, I read a few chapter over the sdummer, but then university started again. Between missing class and browsing imgur you know
lahwran
I'm going to have to advise you not to read it, not because it's bad, but because it's FUCKING LONG and will ruin your life for a week
Sobertal
The idea behind MoR is that the author tells you Harry is super rational to preach at you, then writes harry acting incredibly irrational.
Campopatopolis
That learning to lose chapter dear god
talavin
Agree 100% And it's hundreds of thousands of words and they aren't even close to finishing the first year. It's like the bridge to nowhere.
TastyTastyScience
Actually, it's currently ending. There's only a few chapters left and the author said the fanfic will be finished by January. So yeah.
SoLongSaulGood
i fucking hate fanfic that are HUGE in word count, but take you fucking NOWHERE plot wise
