Any Harry Potter xover with Mahou Lyrical Nanoha series...
The canon power levels are too great in difference. I mean, a killing curse vs a Divine Buster or a Starlight breaker? Nanoha at 10 can take on Snake face w/o breaking a sweat. At 16-19?..hehe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The barrier jacket transformation
2. "Flyer Fin": A flight spell (look ma, no broom!)
Now, what canon Potterverse character can keep more than one spell on-going?
Aonsider her typical opening combat spell: Divine/Axel Shooter....
precision guided magical missles...and depending on what season of Nanoha you watch her volley can range from 4 to 10...and she can guide them Dodging would be impossible unless the other potterverse character portkeys out of there in which they concede the battle...and the next time they meet, Nanoha casts a barrier dome which traps them.
As far as power goes,...do anyone really want to make a case for Moldie Voldie being more powerful?
It would be interesting having someone like Bellatrix Lestrange going up against someone like Sigum.

Quote:Yeah, but Nanoha was trying very hard not to hurt Fate in their clashes. And Fate was very single-minded in the first series. In using the killing curse in Nanoha's case, it'll make a good discussion on whether her barrier jacket and the autoguard spell (protection/protection powered) used by Raising (Raging Heart) not to mention Reactor Purge (detonation of her barrier jacket, similar in effect to reactive armor) would at least keep Nanoha alive from a Killing curse.
I'm not so sure about this, actually. Sure, Divine Buster looks much more powerful and destructive, but in the first series, Fate survives taking one head-on. The killing curse is just that: if it hits you, you're dead. No ifs, ands, or buts (ignoring the obvious exception), and no known magical shield against it exists. It's not as flashy, maybe, but it's not really possible to get much more effective than insta-death, at least in an anti-personnel role.
Quote:Actually, I'd think the versability and adaptability would lie in the Nanohaverse: Consider the spells active all the time when Nanoha is in transformed mode:
Also, Midchildan magic seems very centered around energy manipulation, so something like HP-style transfiguration would be an unknown variable as well (though the obvious Nanoha application of transfiguration magic would be the barrier jacket transformation sequence). HP-style magic seems more flexible in general, I would say, so even leaving the killing curse aside, it sets up some interesting "raw power versus adaptibility and versatility" scenarios.
