Emperor Palpatine vs. Lord Voldemort

Which audio books were you listening to? I don't remember the T being silent.

1-4. Most of the pronouncing changed later on.

Dale (sp?) said "Her-mo-ne" instead of "Her-mi-o-ne". That weird stone taken from a stomach of a goat was pronounced "bu..." something French-y sounding but as of Book 6, they do what the first HP movie did and call it a "Bee-zo-er" or something. And it was always Vol-de-mor" from the audio. I have all the books and it was Vol-de-mor from 1-4 I'm fairly positive.I never heard the t and that's why I never knew how to spell his name right for a while.

Ah! But Palpatine isn't waving a wand and shouting Expelliamus is he?

No. He's thinking and yanking the wand right out of Vold's grip.

How can Palpatine dodge something that's spread out over a large area and coming straight at him?

Well...I'm not making up Force powers for Palpatine so would you mind not making up spells for Vold?

I'm not making up. Start of Book 6, second page, it talks about a freak hurricane, which we later learn was magicked. A large spell which causes something that covers a large area.

Actually, it was a giant.

Actually, I've just checked - Death Eaters. With suspected giant involvement, but no certain evidence. We're both wrong.

JK Rowling has been less than specific in most of her descriptions of magic and types of magic available in her universe, while Palpatine's powers are a little more well-known.

Kinda hard to make a match without attempting to further extrapolate what the characters are capable of.

Force Lightning, Force Choke, gg. Never even draws the lightsaber.

One would have to assume that Voldemort would come prepared with a simple Defensive charm active to negate an obvious attack such as Force Lightning.

Voldemort would be able to stun Palpatine with a voiceless spell, which should break his concentration enough to set up another defense.
