The Jedi Order vs. Dumbledore's Army

I just saw a huge debate on this on someone's facebook profile, and I thought I would ask PA for some answers.

If you vote, explanations of why you picked your choice would be appreciated.

I for one love Star Wars to death, but I honestly think Jedi would have no chance in this fight. The wizards/mages can teleport at will (Apparition), polymorph any object (Transfiguration), and have power words 'kill' and 'stun' (Avada Kedavra and Crucio). As good as the Jedi are at jumping around, wielding lightsabers, and piloting starcraft, they have no chance against an opponent that can kill them on sight.

It does not include Dumbledore.

In fact, I would bet that all of the Jedi's saving throws are extremely high. So Jedi win for having a weapon that can physically do something regardless of your target's stats.

Yeah, part of the debate was about the Jedi having higher Wisdom and Dex, among higher stats overall. Plus they do have X-wings, and I don't care if you can cast the best mage armor spell on brooms, they don't do anything against laser cannons and proton torpedoes.

You're making me re-evaluate my original opinion now.

If it is a fight on foot, DA (lol like in the books amirite?) would win. If the jedi's could use their awesome ships 'n' stuff they would win.

I've always wondered why wizards don't carry guns. It would be a good surprise tactic, no wizard would think of  being shot by one, and a gun is certainly powerful enough to mortally injure, if not kill, a wizard.

If it is just Harry & co fighting, they would have a hard time fighting jedis. If grown ups who know what they are doing are fighting, then I would pick them, due to the fact they can do nearly anything they want/need without anyone knowing what they are about to do.

I wonder how well a jedi/wizard could withstand a nuclear bomb.

Henry, there are sniper rifle blasters, so I guess the speed of the laser depends on the type of blaster.

I'd also think most of the Jedi would be able to block the bullets without even needing a lightsaber (Vader blocked Han's blaster shots with his hand for example) but some of the lower-level Jedi probably would not survive guns.

But Jedi don't need to use their eyes. They could fight blind and use the Force to "see" for them. So a few Jedi could easily take down a basilisk.

And Jedi can jump high enough to engage flying dragons and some would surely be powerful enough to hold back a dragon's fire breath.

True, but they wouldn't know not to look until they have already looked. They would be more of a distraction, while the Jedi fight them the wizards should be attacking the Jedi as well. Jedi have lots of cool tech. though, they would most likely be able to set up turrets of some sort.

You're right, this is a geeky subject. 

Hm, I don't think any other Jedi block blaster bolts, but maybe I'm wrong.
