Is it using EM fields, or are they just a side effect? Jumping from 'messing up electronics' to 'magic is caused by EM field manipulations' is a rather large jump. Kinda like saying 'nuclear bombs produce heat therefore sufficient heat will split atoms'.Since Magic has an effect on electronics, it is definitely using EM Fields.
How 'bout... IT'S MAGIC!Then what is your pet theory that doesn't violate Occam's Razor?
True, but at this point the mechanics of how magic work simply are not fleshed out enough to do the kind of in-depth analysis you are reaching for. We have a paucity of evidence, and no evidence magic operates under any laws of EM fields besides "Magic messes with technology". Hell, even that is contradicted in canon, or else they might notice a giant blackout area where the ministry is in the middle of freakin London.Once again Suspension of Belief. Shouting its fantasy and we shouldn't apply science is a dishonest debating tactic. Once again we observe the effects and work on basic assumptions using basic scientific principles.
Plus, Biblophile was correct. Literal readings of the Bible also include people surviving in a desert without nourishment, transmutation of water into wine, and other assorted impossible things; such as the world being created a couple thousand years ago. You cannot reconcile those with modern science, futile effort. You must wait until science can explain them, or choose to read the Bible non-literally.
Job and God were discussing science you know. Get the book in the original Hebrew and you would be amazed at how Job knew many scientific principles we take for granted today.
The Bible is also full of spec ops, counter intelligence, espionage, and grand military strategy if you can read between the lines and in the original Hebrew.
Actually I can read it in the original Hebrew, thank you very much--over a decade of Orthodox Jewish religious school, with religious classes for four to six hours a day, six days a week will do that, but I haven't practiced my Ivrit in years, ever since I pretty much gave up and walked away due to the rampant hypocrisy. And I do have the book, in the original Hebrew, with Rashi and a very good translation for when I don't want to muddle through due my lack of practice (thank you Artscroll).Once again Suspension of Belief.

"It's Magic!" is a bit too easy, so I won't do that. How about sub-quantum forces science hasn't discovered yet? It worked for Aberrant and Trinity.

...Why are you guys starting a religious debate in a Goddamn Fanfiction discussion forum?
(And yes, that was a pun.)
I will start a "cage match" forum for this type of thing if you guys really want one. (And make someone else monitor it!) But please, this is ridiculously off-topic here.
I think the AIP is...
*drum roll*
*ridiculously long drum roll*
Mrs Norris!
*cymbal*
... not to mention lecturing someone raised as an Orthodox Jew about how they should try reading the original Hebrew. Ouch.Well it sort of crept in after I mentioned SOB and Rules for an Evil Overlord.Why are you guys starting a religious debate in a Goddamn Fanfiction discussion forum?

I though it was to delay the Huffelpuff/Ravenclaw quidditch match so that Harry and Draco could be in the castle at the same time (since they both play for their house teams) while every one else was at the game.Just out of curiosity, did anyone pick up on why Cho Chang was attacked?
Obviously... Tim Curry testified to that.Is it possible that the incident with Cho was simply a red herring in itself?
What, Gringotts doesn't have a branch in Switzerland? :DAnd "trust" the dirty muggles? And for the space suggestions, placing pieces of your soul aboard what amounts to a multi-ton shaped explosive charge doesn't seem to be too intelligent to me if one's intention is immortality.Personally, he should have chosen a keystone in the Pyramids, put one in a satelite and launch it into space. Send another to the moon. The rest keep in secret Swiss Bank Accounts.
Following up on this list, I found the following entry of particular interest:Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [CS = Y12/13]
S: s: Malfoy; c: +Flint, Pucey; k: Bletchley
I submit the theory that the agent in place is a NoFP Slytherin Quidditch player. Bletchley is my top pick for his canon history of creative jinxing, but Pucey works well to. Warrington (who in canon was a reader of 'Quidditch through the ages [in that book; he checked it out]) and Montague are also very good candidates, though there's no empirical proof they were in fact on the 92-93 team.Bletchley, Miles SlytherinQuidditch
Slytherin, c. 1989 - 1996, Quidditch team Keeper.
Hit Alicia Spinnet from behind with a jinx in the library prior to the autumn 1995 Gryffindor-Slytherin match, but Snape refused to believe the fourteen eyewitnesses (OP19).
Since Bletchley was at least a second year when Harry started at Hogwarts, and since he was still at Hogwarts in the 1995 - 1996 school year, he must be either one or more likely two years older than Harry.
