Voldemort vs. Darth Vader: Who Actually Wins?

from Half Blood Pod - A Harry Potter Podcast · host Ultimate Harry Potter Trivia

Voldemort vs. Darth Vader. Who wins?We thought the answer was obvious. Apparently, the internet VERY strongly disagreed.After a throwaway conversation about Voldemort beating Darth Vader sparked hundreds of comments, we knew there was only one thing left to do: dedicate an entire episode to settling it.Hunter joins us to defend Darth Vader while William takes the side of Voldemort, and Scott attempts (poorly) to remain an impartial moderator.We’re comparing everything: the Force vs. magic, lightsabers vs. wands, Jedi premonition, Avada Kedavra, apparition, transfiguration, Force choking, Voldemort’s biggest weakness, Vader’s biggest weakness, and the very important question of whether Darth Vader could simply snap Voldemort’s wand.Plus, we somehow find time for Hogwarts food, Spider-Man, Star Wars hot takes, Harry Potter trivia, and another round of Fred vs. George.So... who wins?Tell us in the comments: Voldemort or Darth Vader?⏱️ Timestamps00:00 We're back02:36 Hogwarts food debate07:00 Spider-Man + Harry Potter10:27 Voldemort vs. Darth Vader20:06 Setting the duel rules22:32 Lightsabers vs. spells25:14 Can magic stop the Force?31:17 Harry Potter trivia35:17 The case for Voldemort37:15 The case for Darth Vader42:25 Is Jedi premonition too powerful?49:17 Could Vader snap Voldemort's wand?55:30 How Voldemort could beat Vader1:02:46 Voldemort's biggest losses1:07:47 Can the Force stop Transfiguration?1:15:05 Who wins 10 fights?1:23:36 Closing arguments1:28:59 The final verdict1:36:14 Fred vs. George1:39:42 Outro⚡ Follow Half Blood Pod for weekly Harry Potter trivia, debates, rankings, deep dives, and Wizarding World discussions.And follow Hunter @triquizardtournament for even more Harry Potter content!Now vote: Voldemort or Darth Vader? 👇
