Acting like half of Hogwart staff wouldn't be working for the cia as double agents

Harddd

CIA, easily

🤓

the CIA gonna put some fentanyl in the jelly beans supply and it's UP

fire thread fr

Have we made using magic illegal?

Doesn't the wizard world have their CIA equivalent?

ministry of magic maybe closest thing idk

Need some devout Potterheads to chime in

Wizards dont even have Cedric Diggory anymore

CIA clears

idk what the bad guys in HP are called but the CIA woulda co opted them decades ago

it’s closer than youd think at first. I think the cia will be able to stay hidden, and operate wo the wizards’ knowledge. But wizards also have this advantage, cloaking and such. heart attack guns gonna put a hurt on wand swingers.

unless there’s some magic idk about, I think it might actually be a completely even spy vs spy situation

Biggest hurdle is how they'd buy off Voldemort. He wanted to kill wizards with muggle family and plain muggles equally

Or does the CIA strike after Harry kills him

Acting like the CIA doesnt have wizards already

Then the wizards just say “expecto patronum”, reverse time and undo whatever the cia did

Tbh, Stan Smith would f*** everything up and would have to be saved by Steve (who'd go with Hogwarts ofc bc he's a b****) and Roger.

Mitski's dad gon' be planted in the Griffyndor house steady scheming

I have a hard time imagining the MoM doesn't also have an elite intelligence agency tho. This is a world which successfully cloaks themselves from outsiders while living amongst them, and literally wipe the minds of humans and act like catastrophes never happened. They even keep the U.K PM on point

They have just as good if not better of a chance of sneaking wizards high up in the CIA than the CIA does at compromising a wizard

It's no debate CIA getting packed up

I think the thread is leveling the playing field by overlooking some of what Rowling wrote lol (makes for an interesting debate tho). She definitely addressed the non-competition between muggle and wizard governments. CIA is a bigger boss than the U.K tho

1 other advantage: Wizards automatically have muggle-borns (and people like Harry and Voldemort) who grew up in regular human environments before getting wizarding education. CIA would have to spend weeks/months/years learning about wizards. Someone like Hermione being sent to work for the CIA would be a disaster

It also takes 1 imperius curse to fully control a human undetected

Give Snape a powerpoint presentation of the muggle world post-1970s, a squad of capable wizard & it’s a wrap for the CIA ngl
