   I'd ask what's wrong with people, but I'm the guy who wonders if the wizard schools in the Harry Potter universe has problems with students going on a rampage casting Avada Kedavra from classroom to classrom. C'mon Rowling, that's had to have happened at least once in the American school.

     What I really want to know is what's stopping a magic person from doing something like this to the regular people? Surely someone must have been unhinged and uncaring enough to try something like this in the past. They're people, too, just like the non magic people.

     @darniil @Skrorg @ShotgunShuffle Wasn't this concept explored in the League of Extraordinary Gentleman?
     
     (Don't worry, I won't Bartimaeus simp on this thread...
     
     For now...)

     Never really delved far into that comic or movie, tbh, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were explored in there.

     @darniil @ShotgunShuffle @Skrorg The movies definitely didn't explore it, but I think I remember the comics doing so. Their version of Harry ended up becoming the anti-christ after nuking his school from orbit, and it takes a demi-god version of Mary Poppins to stop him.

     Speaking of "versions of Harry", that reminds me that I never read Books of Magic.

     @darniil @ShotgunShuffle @Skrorg Isn't that Rowling's extended short stories compilations?

     Nope! That's a Neil Gaiman comic that came out long before HP.

     The Sandman is really good. There's even an issue that won an award, and that award changed its rules afterward so comics could never be nominated for it ever again.

     @darniil @ShotgunShuffle @Skrorg There's so much Gaiman, I can't even begin to figure out where to start with him..
     
     Been meaning to get into his stuff, but..
     
     I already have about 100+ books I need to gut through, first on my reading list......
