Enjoy!Summary: Snape or McGonagall. Who would win? Both wizards have great power and knowledge, but who has more? Snape likes the spells that cause pain. Plain and simple. Snape's style of magic is very nasty, but effective nonetheless. We can tell his style of magic by the spells he made in his youth. Some cause huge gashes on your chest and arms, while others take your wand and yank you up into the air. Not very friendly. McGonagall on the other hand is a little different. As the transfiguration teacher, she can cast very complicated spells without thinking. McGonagall's preferred way of magic is defense, not offense. She knows dozens of ways to block spells. But that's not all. McGonagall has some very Snape-like spells under her belt as well. In their previous duel, we saw some of those spells. McGonagall goes for the flashy and big sort type spells whereas Snape just goes for the kill. And for that reason I think Snape would win. Don't get me wrong, both are very skilled and powerful. Snape would just have the upper hand. He can get into McGonagall's head and use her worst fears against her. And unfortunately for McGonagall, fear is her kryptonite.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
