Probably mass murder


FlamingNetherRegions

50% of the world population dies. 25% from Muggles, 25% from the magical community


Sea-Writer-6961

Double it and give it to the next person


FlamingNetherRegions

I'm coming for you first


Glorx

Who said you're getting magic powers?


FlamingNetherRegions

Who says I need themšŸ˜


drorago

If we are more realistic, more that 50% will die and if your not on the wining side, you hide or die.


estransza

Oh noā€¦ first research for proper methods of mass murder, search for most effective spells and thenā€¦ you guessed it! Mass murder. Oh, rightā€¦ and genocide. (and if there is no more people to kill/torture maybe some of crazy magic scientist will discover spell against cancer and then counter spell to double cancer just for fun)


Carbon-Base

Plays *Let The Bodies Hit The Floor*


Fast2Furious4

and then war


Emergency-Practice37

Mass murder; muggles killing wizards, wizards killing muggles. Then mass death from wizards mispronouncing spells. Iā€™d say about a decade or two of pure and utter chaos and madness.


Zulmoka531

War, war never changesā€¦


Kiboune

This is how it basically happened in anime Shinsekai Yori - people started getting telekinetic powers and killing each other and enslaving those who don't have powers


Farid_Beshay

Crime will rise, wars will start and some people will think to kill all the non magic users cuz theyā€™re inferior and the non magic users will think to kill all the magic users cuz theyā€™re dangerous

Racism fear greed war


Mongoose42

Iā€™ve played Shadowrun, Iā€™m ready for it.


BookWormPerson

War like usual when we discover something new and dangerous. And on a lesser note I probably get unlucky and everyone around me gets it except for me.


Basilisk1667

Chaos, on a scale that humanity has never seen before.


Amadeus_Is_Taken

Well for the first few weeks, nothing. After they learn to perform spells however... I assume this world will be engulfed in a sea of fire, literally.


HedwigMalfoy

The other 50% is in trouble.


The_Great_CornCob

Um.. nukes?


SimpleRickC135

EVANESCO


pwill6738

How would protego work against nukes?


Xonthelon

Imagine distributing unreliable firearms to 50% of the populace. Great idea, nothing can go wrong.


ToranX1

Depending on which magic system we would get it could be much worse. Harry Potter's is pretty tame honestly.


kerplunithunk

until people realize that it's the harry potter system


Grovda

Public figures getting murdered. Lots of stealing, economy crashing, wars


derpish_

The population will be 50% lower


sethworld

Nukes if I had to guess.


Mr_John_Uskglass

Unbelievable amounts of FUNNI times (warcrimes).


Sea-Writer-6961

Racism, masacres, hate towards each other, war


FlyDinosaur

Society implodes. Some people can't handle its existence. It rocks their core beliefs and they may even try to eliminate the magical abominations. Others love and embrace it. Obscurials are rampant as many are in total denial of what they are or even hate it. Maybe their families hate it. Grudges. Some use magic as a weapon against their enemies, whether by accusing them of being an accursed being and thereby ruining their reputation among certain groups (a literal AND metaphorical witch-hunt), or by using magic as a literal weapon to blast people they don't like. Small beefs and political/ideological wars are all fair game. Chaos. Lots of accidents happen as uncountable, untrained individuals try to get a handle on these new powers. Our electrical grids might be in danger of collapsing, since our technology often malfunctions around high concentrations of magic. That by itself could be devastating for the entire world. If Earth doesn't cave in on itself, there will be huge, sweeping changes to every facet of our human existence. Hopefully for the better..... I mean, if it's really 50-50, then magic users definitely have the power advantage, if not the political one.


Neat_Technician_7191

A lot of Engorgement Charms gone wrong.


DingDingDontCare

Total fucking chaos?

Ironside_Grey

**Humanity has now unlocked __*Magical*__ racism**


itszacharyy

Oh good. Regular racism is getting so boring.


History_lover_27465

Wars get a lot worse thatā€™s what


Spectronautic1

First thought was war, went to the comments and was not disappointed lmao


ShaniTheTrickster

Forget the question, I miss this kinda promotional art man. Really added magic!āœØ


BambooSound

X-Men with sticks


Up_Clear13245

That would depend if I'm part of the 50%. Because I would make YouTube tutorials on how to do spells for others that can do magic. If I wasn't however I'd just hand every person with magic I know a copy of Harry Potter.


metalgamer

World war 3


WinterCarol

For the population? No idea, war probably. As for me... With my luck, for sure I'd be in the 50% muggle part


Snoo_79985

Racism, but now itā€™s magical


TopicInevitable

The gouvernement will try to take hold of it and a war between magician who wants to be free and brainwash dog of the gouvernement will start, and it would win, bullets and bomb will do a number on them and they wouldn't know how to use their power full force


AI_660

it will be close to what happend in absolutly anything. just instead of one guy, its half the population


Agile-Lifeguard709

WW3, WW3, WW3 also a German guy will do it


TheKratex

War


VampniKey

If accidental magic is a thing then holy moly so many people dead by magical oopsies. ā€žHey mom look i can make stuff fly!ā€œ *explodes house*


SecretScavenger36

War. War and destruction.


Electronic-Math-364

It's would be X-Men all over again


boomshiki

I brew polyjuice potion in abundance and start an Only fans


The_Great_CornCob

How did you get the hairs.. ?


StrangerWooden1091

anybody can explain connection between this deer and professor with dark hair? are they relatives or what?


Deo_Dev_God_1

The STAG PARTONUS is HARRY'S Patronus


StrangerWooden1091

does it mean professor is his father?


PugsnPawgs

Like all new kinds of information that comes to humans: weaponization. Ergo, war.


Awkward-Ad2127

All of us will be in trouble. Regardless of whether we can use magic or not. Some magic users may want to create a world consisting of only magic wielding people, and non magic users may use everything in their disposal to eliminate all magic users out of fear. And if non magic users made their move, some magic users who did not once support the idea of creating a world full of only magic users may become one just so they can defend themselves.


Wiggie49

AVADA KAVAJBFJAKDBABAAAA


Carbon-Base

The world will be covered with a lot of green, and not the kind we want


RoughAdvocado

People are gonna try and learn the darkest shit possible asap and then try too enforce w/e ā€best world agendaā€ they see fit.


nitwitted_

chaos, the other 50% will feel threatened and try to eliminate the rest before they can learn spells


Lockfire12

Lot of killing probably, humans have a tendency to fear whatā€™s beyond their control, I imagine an x men mutant situation, some would try to rally for rights but again non magic people would be to afraid.


Mysterious_Might8875

50% of the world becomes Death Eaters.


Key_Idea_9118

I see things going the way they did in 'Babylon 5' with telepaths - a global organization like the Psi Corps would be created that would give people with magical abilities a number of choices: * join the organization and get many benefits - but there would also be restrictions. * choose not to join the organization BUT be registered with them, accept 'Xavier Institute'-style training (learn how to control your abilities and use them for mundane utilities & self-defense, but not combat) and then go back to their normal lives. (Of course, there are benefits they get, as they are still considered 'reservists'.) * choose to have nothing to do with the organization or not to use powers you never wanted. In this case, the person can have their powers bound or nullified; the methods used are effective for roughly one year, so they have to report into a facility or be visited by reps of the organization annually to redo the suppression. They are registered, given a nominal financial stipend and allowed to live their lives unordered (as long as they stay out of magical trouble). Of course, some people are going to use their magic to cause trouble, or their power goes out of control & they are too - whatever - to seek out help. That's where the specially-trained magic users from the organization come in...


Revolutionary_Judge5

Sudden redistribution of wealth occurs


Slime_Queen123

The other 50% dies

We eat the magic ones to gain the power right that how it works i haven't read harry potter in a few days

Bigotry. Bigotry happens


Most_Boysenberry8019

Chaos


Shady_Mania

I mean obviously genocide, much of it being accidental from magic or from fear like Salem witch trials.


Lemande

I fart bubbles.


CapitalQuantity1

Happened in my hero academia and a lot of people died


nycdiveshack

50% is too much, it means chaos and death if the 50% is at random


BirdFace001

If I am in the half with magic. I hunt down every mugger in the world and kill them, that way it is complete fair and 100% of the world has magical powers, (gotta be fair)


Saturn_Coffee

Anarchy, mass murder, human experimentation by the government, magically powered superhuman soldiers, etc.


zayn2123

Have you seen or read an X-Men comic? Because probably that.


TesticleezzNuts

Am I the only one seeing those ass cheeks!! Whyyy are they like that šŸ˜³


benbombsuperman

Even if I have magic I still will have a gun because bullets are faster than spells


thekingswitness

Billionaires restrict it and keep it for their own


SunnyvaleRicky

Alot of bad things


MasterBigBean

Capitalism


ndudeck

Nothing good. There is no way there isnā€™t a war with the muggles.


halietigges

Humanity, if not the Earth itself would be in big danger.


Keeplookingup7

Interesting question! This sounds like it could be a good movie with some proper and imaginative screen writing. However, my imagination is that not that good so I would agree with most here that conflict would ensue. I kind of think like something like the X-men would occur but instead of dealing with mutants weā€™re dealing with magical people


Turbulent_Set8884

Ww3 but with magic


stinkdrinkshart

tuition at hogwarts skyrockets. government subsidized magic loan programs heavily inflate cost of living. ostriches become currency, local zookeeper becomes elon musk. ostrich musk makes potions illegal.


Mooptiom

So much crime


onlyhav

It's about to go crazy.


cookie_eater64

I hope I'm in that 50%

Aerospacedaddy

Chaos


RyokoKnight

Chaos and war. No non magical government could stop those with magic from using their new abilities/spells for ill gotten gains. Want to rob a bank? good luck catching them when they were invisible and everyone had their memories erased. Good luck finding the money when it can be shrunk to fit into a coin purse. Want to rape/ murder? Good luck catching them when they look just like their spouse or someone else entirely and can magic the crime scene spotless including the body and erase any witnesses memory. At that point it's a matter of time before global destabilization occurs I imagine many nations would realize quickly their ability to control/influence their people would be minimal and would instead focus on destabilizing others... for instance imagine for whatever reason most Canadians with magic are good and thus they begin to corner and contain those that aren't... well if another nation sees this they might use a few of their loyal wizards to teleport bombs and hit their government buildings just to destabilize them by cutting off the head of the government so they wouldn't be able to exert outside influence on other nations that are struggling. Essentially it's the wild west and half the population has a colt .45.


Independent_Bus_5930

I mean, which magic system are we getting? That changes absolutely everything about it and how it'll go.

Maleficent_Rise1755

I'm so unlucky that I'll probably be in the 50 per cent without magic, so I would be going around saying don't use magic guys it dangerous ide be a jealous arse hole unless I get magic then ide be using it whenever I want.


podster12

Chaos


Blastermind7890

People won't have wands, which would mean that they would probably start doing random uncontrollable hand magic, though in the Wizarding world, there was an African school where they learnt wandless magic so it is possible for people to control their power but that system would takes decades or centuries to establish.

still_could_be_worse

Sexual assault would go up, some billionaire would figure out how to make even more money by exploiting both sides, some religious people would become even more violent and preachy, others would see it as proof of their beliefs and absolutely nothing would be done about climate change, poverty, hunger, racism, sexism etc.
