The Great Flood

[Daystar]

Is there substantial evidence for the existence of witches and warlocks? Yes. That they can do things that you can't explain. Yes. Does that imply that Harry Potter isn't fiction? No.

I really can't understand how anyone can be this idiotic.

Is there substantial evidence for the existence of witches and warlocks? No. The type of witches / wizards in the Harry Potter books do not exist. There is no evidence (let alone substantial) to suggest that anyone can hold a stick, say "Avada Kedavra" and kill someone with a green blast of energy. Even if you extend your definition to cover people like magicians, it holds no merit. Magicians are by their own admission, tricksters who like to astound people. Just because they don't explain what they do doesn't mean there is no explanation. Even if you further extend the definition to include those who practice wicca, there is still no evidence that anything they do affects the natural order of things.

That they can do things that you can't explain? No. See above.

Does that imply that Harry Potter is fiction? Yes. It's fiction. It's in the fiction section of book stores. It is a work of fantasy. I know you probably wished for your letter from Hogwarts to come like the rest of humanity at the time, but it simply didn't. Harry Potter does not exist in the real world.

This is what pisses me off about people like you. Go back and read it again and see if you can do it without reading anything into it.
