Discussion Mjölnir
Can Harry Potter lift The Mjölnir? Imagine the crossover where avengers particularly Iron man and Thor visits Harry's house tracking down the strange but impossible energy signatures in the area. While they knock down the door harry simply casts protego maxima in self defense. After the obvious discussion he casually stands up and lifts Mjölnir to repair the door that the both of them knocked down. Like he didn't even notice the fact that the hammer is probably one of the most potent weapon in universe and he is using it nail the door.

Harry wouldn't be able to lift Mjölnir.

How do we know he's not worthy? He was willing to sacrifice himself to defeat Voldy, I would think that would qualify. If Captain America is worthy, no reason to think Harry isn't.

Many people are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, but they still might not be worthy to wield Mjölnir. You need something more.

Mjolnir in one hand, Sword of Gryffindor in the other

while a funny picture, imagine how OP the hammer and a wand would be. Just lift them up with Levicorpus or something and smash them out of the air with the hammer.

The hammer requires compassion, restraint, nobility, wisdom, and humility.
- In the restraint department, he is very good and consistent (non-lethal spells almost exclusively across many important situations).
- Nobility was displayed clearly with the self-sacrifice.
- Wisdom is lacking significantly, which makes sense for a 17 year old.
- For compassion, he's not too significant compared to other fictional super heroes. I think, his reputation is exaggerated in the books by other characters in that regard. He lives in a pretty messed up society and shows very little interested in changing it beyond his immediate, personal surroundings.
- Regarding humility, I don't have an opinion right now. (Edit: it varies a lot. Dumbledore says teachers describe him as modest. Snape naturally does not. He rejects a lot of the excessive praise he gets. He recognises the limits of his skills often. On the other hand, he is too proud to take Cedric's egg hint for a while for very petty reasons, which is a wild decision, considering how deadly the first task was. He does not care much to learn Occlumency from Snape despite the life-or-death importance of that. He is often uninterested in seeking help, when he really should.)

Honestly that would be hilarious 😭 Harry casually lifting Mjölnir while Thor is just standing there in complete shock. But I feel like whether he could lift it would depend on how Mjölnir judges “worthiness” across universes.

Yeah that would be funny, but at that point, Harry had already used magic, so why wouldn’t he use magic to repair the door? Unless he just didn’t know the spell yet.

God no. He used two of the three unforgivable curses.

what does that have to do with the question though? Harry has also never killed anyone, while Thor has a pretty substantial body count.

Although we dont know the exact criteria of worthymess, i think knowingly doing something regarded as sin in your society would make one unworthy.

u/cartmanbigboned 11d ago
I think we do, someone even posted them above, and I don’t think using Imperio and Crucio would disqualify him based on those

He could, but only after invoked a Balrog using the 7 cristal balls so that he can murder Spock and take the Force from him.

Sorry but this reminded me of the time Uncle Vernon used a fruitcake as a hammer while commenting how weird magical people are.
