He could have just Obliviated himself if that’s all he wanted.

Pretty sure the Atlantians created the Source. There’s probably a dyson sphere in our star cluster providing all the power needed for magic.
Safest option would have been the dementor’s kiss. Or, if the kiss isn’t a thing in MoRverse, tossing his wand to them as Harry had mused.
Looks like I had the right idea after all. I think strands of strong acid or a highly reactive alkaline metal would have been a safer tactic than the nano-wire garrotes, since Harry wouldn’t need to spend the extra action to constrict, but apparently Eliezer had this planned out from chapter one and it was too late to change it (due to the silver line, black robes, etc).
What came after, though? Not quite as convincing for me. I can’t believe that Harry was able to transfigure Voldemort despite the resonance cascade. I also am skeptical that Voldemort didn’t have any passive shields up against stunners. And what the hell is harry even trying to do with this convoluted ploy with Hermione anyway? Hasn’t he learned anything about trying overly-complicated plots?
I’d also be VERY concerned about Voldemort having backup memories stored in his horcruxes, especially since some of them are of the old fashioned personality blueprint kind.
Also,question. Do our suggestions need to be posted on fanfiction.net, or does this thread count?
“You needed worthy opponentss,”
It wouldn’t be a projectile. It would be transfiguring part of the enemy INTO acid or some other deadly substance by including a bit of their body inside of Harry’s conceptual “object.”
Wouldn’t you need partial transfiguration to make the spike out of a piece of earth?
Regardless, that’s not what I’m proposing that Harry should do. I’m saying he should use partial transfiguration to make acid or cesium threads through the air that include the death eaters and Voldemort’s handgun in the transfigured material. That has never been done before, and its likely there won’t be defenses against it.
Interesting analysis. I’d agree, except that we just learned that Harry got a big chunk of Voldemort’s personality downloaded into him as a baby, and Voldemort is a narcissistic, amoral, manipulative trainwreck of a human being. Petunia might have played a role, but I think the author’s intent is that these are Voldemort’s traits making themselves known.
One wonders, though, if perhaps Tom Riddle had a narcissistic caretaker in the orphanage that raised him. Unlike canon!Riddle, the MoR version doesn’t seem to have been born a sociopath, but rather made one.
Would would Harry not transfigure it from the ground? Or the air from that matter? What else does he have to work with?
And he’d be transfiguring part of their bodies too.
Wouldn’t work on Voldie due to resonance cascade, but he could disable the uzi.
Best answers I’ve heard or devised so far:
Leonhart’s suggestion below. Probably the best rhetorical move Harry could possibly make.
Harry’s portkey is transfigured into a tiny chip implanted under his own skin. It would be totally in character for him to do that.
If he has the range, transfigure long, thin tendrils that overlap with Voldemort and the death eaters’ spinal cords at the neck level. Thin so that he doesn’t have to work with as much mass/volume.
Transfigure the air around him into a carbon nanotube shell, buying himself time for another spell.
No one has been able to transfigure a piece of the air or ground before, as far as anyone knows, so the shields might not be designed to block that.
Transfigured tendrils that intersect all the bad guys’ spinal cords at the neck level would do the trick. Only question is if Harry has the range to do that.
Regardless, there is a good reason for the plural pronoun.
If he wants Harry to destroy the current universe and create a new one in its place, encouraging cynicism with the current world would make sense.
It was because his father was raped? I thought Tom’s sociopathy was just a random result of generations of incest on his mother’s side.
Calling it. Voldemort is a well-intentioned extremist who did everything that he’s done for the sake of bringing a being like Harry into the world so that he can remake it into a paradise.
What I’m surprised Harry didn’t think of was bringing her to a muggle hospital. A combination of muggle and wizard medicine should be able to overcome some plain old shock and blood loss, no?
I just read this article instead of doing my homework.
Convincing people that intelligence explosion is a bad idea might discourage them from unleashing one. No violence there.
Didn’t Harry JUST learn a lesson about not keeping secrets and assuming he’s smarter than the rest of the world put together?
