[QUOTE="Meloncov, post: 3098036, member: 17359"] Not really. She's a quicker learner than Harry, but he has more raw power. As the series progreses, the balence of power shifts decidedly towords Harry, at least in combat magic. Part of this is explained later in the series, but I think part of it is that British schools tend to leave students to solve their own problems, even to the point of ignoring bullying. It seems counter-intuitive, but the books say that Quiditch injuries are relatively rare (Wood says that "a couple of broken jaws" is the worst injuries at Hogwarts have gotten). Combined with HP verse healing magic being far more effective than any Muggle technology, its argualby less dangerous than, say, football. As for the detention, it really shouldn't have been that dangerous. If it hadn't been for Voldemort, nothing in the forest was likely to attack them. The centaurs dislike intruders, but not genocidally so (well, not yet) and I suspect the bit about werewolves was just a myth created to scare the students away from the forest. You have to rebuild the magic system from the ground up. Harry Potter wizards don't use vanacian magic, and they get spells in an order that would make game balence tough (for example, the learn how to freeze someones limb in the first book, but not how to make light until the third.) I worked a little on a D20 Harry Potter game. We used a skill point based magic system; that is, you take rank in Transfiguration and you have to make a check to learn or cast a spell. It worked fairly well, but it made it so that no one had ranks to spare for spot and the like. [/QUOTE]
