What would happen if muggle weaponry was used against Voldemort? Would he die or stay alive?












3















I was just thinking if a nuke hit Voldemort would he be completely unharmed due to his Horcruxes making him immortal, or would he turn to ash?

His mortal body would still be destroyed, but he would probably become a spirit, like he did after attempting to kill Harry in 1981. The soul fragment in his body would survive and could attempt to find a new host or wait for the V-man to get a new body.

    This is a good point, I wonder how a basic spell taught early to young wizards (such as protego) would do against a nuke. Someone should ask JKR :p
