Teleport iceberg over person

But apparition becomes exponentially more difficult when you are bringing more with you. That's why tandem apparations are licensed differently from regular, and why ron, who knew how to apparate, got splinched when he accidently brought yaxley(?)

That being said, most wizards do not understand the concept of electricity or the finer details of physics. So just post a video giving the wizards assassin's your current location and wait for them to appear. Except your current location is in a room with an electric floor. Or filled with tear gas. They wouldn't recognize a gas mask or know what rubber boots do.

Bubblehead charm and shield charm? And teargas wouldn't much harm the effectiveness of a wizard who can do non-verbal casting. Unless they're in a closed space with it for a loong time without any protection.

Also, the whole "wizards don't understand muggle tech" doesn't make sense seeing how many muggleborns there are. Like honestly, Hermione wouldn't bring pencils/pens to school? Would pens not work in Hogwarts , as "muggle tech"? Pencils?

And how on Earth is it that non-muggle wizards into muggle shit can't like, visit a library or purchase an encyclopedia? They clearly interact with the muggle world, and that's not illegal, nor are muggle objects (unless you enchant them.)

The worst part is how muggle-borns can have siblings who aren't wizards and how muggle-born kids seem to not be able to keep any of the friends they had before turning 11. That or we're meant to believe 12-year olds wouldn't boast about being actually magical to their best friends on their first vacation.

Does that mean it's harder to apparate if you're fat?
