Don't tell me I need to deny ignorance Furbs, just because I feel aliens are more technologically advanced than us rather than magical. That's how religions start.

Just as I thought it was going to be, in depth and totally believable. Also thoroughly entertaining. I particularly like the section on the MIB. I wish I was a wizard

You're not completely wrong. There were some real mistakes in Harry Potter. I cringe when I see a wizard hold his wand with his right hand, as there are no right handed wizards. Magic is real, bit does not work how you think it does. It is not like it is in the movies. As to the animals, you see with your mind, you don't see with your eyes. If you did the world would be a very different place.

The evidence provided from the OP is crap. Have anything that wasn't written by JK Rowling? You put a lot of time into this, but your sources are fictional books. Everything else is strictly opinion, and you appear to use Harry Potter as evidence.
Wizards might have killed JFK? Uh, need a source for that. Abe Lincoln was fighting with vampires? That needs a source too. You say wizards in real life act as they do in Harry Potter, and then back it up by saying in Harry Potter wizards met with the Prime Minister, as if it has any base in reality?
Seriously, I appreciate the time put into this, but do you have any real, concrete source based in reality for any of this?

I assure you, Voynich Manuscript is an actual document.

As is the accounting of Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

This is in Skunkworks for a reason, friend. You will find that this thread has a lot more evidentiary backing than most of the other stuff posted here.

Yes the Voynich Manuscript is real, yet possibly a hoax created by Edward Kelley.
Vampire Hunter was written by Laurell Hamilton, a self professed fantasy writer.
I do believe the reality we see isn't real, or rather nearly the complete reality. I do believe in ET's, and believe they are inter dimensional and can travel by folding space/time, which would also mean they can time travel. Did giants or elves exist here at one time, or possibly still exist on another plane? Possible. There is interesting reading on that.
I actually think you might by mistaking the possibility of wizards for something else. Only possibility is that there's another plane/dimension/universe they might exist in, yet I've not once heard wizards brought up in astral travel or heavy meditation of any kind. The manuscript is the only decent source you provided, and while it could very well be real, it is an enormous jump to tie wizards into it.
So, do you have any real sources describing wizards? Mythological beasts might have roamed the earth at one time, but again, you just jumped ahead and said wizards control them. Pure fantasy without a single credibly source.

OH hogwarts. How i wish it were really true. Although one wonders if one day evidence will be found to actually find things normally unseen by humans eyes. Would you want to see things best left unseen for a reason or know whats hidden? The answers might drive you mad.

Years ago I read an interview with J.K Rowling and she said something along the lines of the whole story of Harry Potter pretty much completely formed just popped into her head one day when she was riding a train to somewhere. I had a passing thought about it being planted there by a wizard. After all who really knows right?
Great post though, I enjoyed the read thanks!
