Dumbledore with Harry's wand(before it was broken) vs Voldermort with the unbeatable wand!

I am assuming Voldemort and Dumbledore are somehow magically revived so they can fight one another. My opponent: “... just because the wand itself is unbeatable does not mean the one using the wand is unbeatable or else Dumbledore would have never been able to win the elder wand from Grindelwald.” This is, perhaps, one of the greatest Harry Potter mysteries of all time. You are correct in your assumption that the wand itself is unbeatable. You are also correct in your assumption that the person using the wand is not unbeatable. This is because the wand can be overcome if it is not actually used in a duel, just as water will not cure me of my thirst if I do not drink it. However, the elder wand can overcome any other wand in a duel, and that is why it is so special. Thus, it boils down to this: the elder wand is the most powerful wand in existence, but it is only affective when you are using it. There are a plethora of ideas as to how Dumbledore could have bested Grindelwald. Let us start by evaluating the book Rita Skeeter wrote. The book I allude to is, “The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore”. In this book, she hints the battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald was not as great as it was made out to be. She even suggests that he simply forfeited the duel. However, there is another alternative that has a better explanation. Dumbledore, as we all know, is a man of great words. There is not a doubt he would have utilized his amazing ability to persuade others in this fight. It is possible he made Grindelwald hesitate for a second or so, and in that short amount of time, Dumbledore could have cast a spell to disarm his childhood friend; thus, winning him the duel. If Dumbledore can somehow get under Voldemort’s guard (as he did with Grindelwald) and kill him, then he could win the duel. However, Voldemort is just as persuasive as Dumbledore, if not more. Furthermore, Voldemort has no love for Dumbledore as Grindelwald did and will not be as susceptible to Dumbledore’s tricks. That means Dumbledore has to use pure magic to win him this duel and cannot resort to his tedious speeches. My opponent: “. . . he [Dumbledore] has also sparred against Voldermort in book 5 during the ministries chapter, I believe their where many times Dumbledore could have destroyed Voldermort, but that wasn't going to finish him because it wasn't part of his plan.” This all based off your claim that you believe there were many times Dumbledore could have destroyed his rival, yet you provide no evidence to back this up. Let us also take into consideration that Dumbledore had the elder wand at the time. This is certain to increase his magical power tenfold. However, in this fight, Dumbdoor—I mean, Dumbledore has Harry’s wand and his magical power is certain to drop by quite a fair margin. On the other hand, Voldemort has the elder wand and his power is certain to increase greatly. Thus, if he is an equal wizard (if not greater) to Dumbledore without the elder wand, then it is easy to see who will be triumphant if Voldemort is with the elder wand. Moving on, Dumbledore would not have killed Voldemort because he could not do it. He simply did not have the will to kill the once young boy he met in an orphanage. This is because Dumbledore is too kind and loving to do such a terrible evil. You could argue that it was part of his plan to keep Voldemort alive, but we all know that Dumbledore would never even dream of using an unforgivable curse. Thus, it is probable that the main reason Dumbledore never killed him is because he is morally above such actions. My Opponent: “Voldermort is afraid of death as he does not understand it. This would make Voldermort vunerable.” I hardly think this matters, since the only possible way Voldemort and Dumbledore could have a duel together is to rise from the dead. Once Voldemort has experienced how painless death is, he will no longer fear it as he once did. However, even if Voldemort still fears death, I think it would simply make him more cautious, and that can be a good thing. Every single last one of his senses will be heightened. His reflexes will probably be lightning fast and he would move so quickly Dumbledore would not have time to respond. My opponent: “Also, I would like to point out that Dumbledore was the only one Voldermort ever feared.” Likewise, Voldemort was the only one who could match magical power with Dumbledore. In addition, it is logical to believe Voldemort is more skillful than Dumbledore. To prove this, I would like to point out several things. Dumbledore once claimed he was a shade more skillful than Grindelwald, if at all. Grindelwald was once the greatest dark wizard of all time. He was most powerful when he had his elder wand, yet Voldemort managed to take "first place". In addition, he did this without the elder wand. Thus, if Dumbledore is only a shade more skillful than Grindelwald, then he is definitely not as powerful as Voldemort, who is much more powerful than Grindelwald even without the elder wand. My opponent: “I would like to point out that Dumbledore was able to duel with Voldermort while protecting Harry in book 5.” Dumbledore did so with the aid of enchanted statues; therefore, it should even out. In addition, Voldemort was not too focused on Harry. He was mainly trying to kill Dumbledore. I would also like to point out that even though Dumbledore had to protect Harry and fight Voldemort (albeit, with the help of his giant statues and the elder wand), Voldemort had to attack Harry and Dumbledore at the same time as well. All in all, Dumbledore actually had the advantage in the fight, making it unfair. Now that I have successfully refuted my opponent’s arguments, I shall make several of my own. However, please take note that many of my arguments were in the rebuttals I made, so instead of re-typing everything, I will just allude to my rebuttals. 1. Voldemort is equal to, if not greater than, Dumbledore. Of course, I am referring to their magical skills and abilities. I have already shown how Voldemort is more powerful than Dumbledore without the elder wand. In this fight, he will have the elder wand; therefore, he is extremely likely to win. 2. Dumbledore is morally above using the unforgivable spells. I briefly went over this; however, I would now like to show how Dumbledore could not win this duel because he is morally above using lethal spells. I asked my opponent if this is a fight to the death. His answer was yes. Thus, in order to win this, Dumbledore must be able to kill Voldemort. Dumbledore is a great supporter of love. He is always loving, and he always tries to find good in everyone, including Voldemort. He is so virtuous he simply is too noble to commit such terrible acts such as the unforgivable curses. If this is the case, then he will not be able to use Avada Kedavra, simply because he believes it is beneath him. Moreover, I do not think Dumbledore would mind going back to being dead. After all, Dumbledore never feared death and he actually embraced it. Not to mention that others who were revived from the dead never liked being “alive”. They always wanted to go back in peace. Voldemort, on the other hand, certainly will take a second chance at life. He has an evil, demented, and twisted mind. While he may be persuasive, clever, and in this case wise (because he has experienced death), he will use these three attributes for different purposes than Dumbledore will. Alternatively, both wizards will have become wiser for the better, then decide that they want to go back to being dead, since they do not belong in the world. It would then result in a stalemate. Remember, my purpose here is to negate the resolution. By claiming a stalemate is possible, I am negating the resolution that Dumbledore would win the duel. -- This took somewhat longer than I thought it would, but it was fun creating it. Well, good luck and good night (or whatever time it is when you read this) to Pro.
