wizards are capable of getting injured...note....Harry breaks his arm in book 2, and what about the injury to his leg in book 4, and i beleive the irish seeker breaks his nose during the world cup too....

they just heal faster because of potions and magic spells and stuff.....and theres ways to slow them down when they fall from a great hieght....for instance neville bounced and Dumbledore slowed Harry down when he fell in book 3

Exactly my point. If by nevilles grandparents dropping him out of the window and his own instinct to avoid harm saved him by making him bounce how is it that an occurance in the muggle world could really hurt a witch or wizard. As for harry's broken arm in COS a bludger flying at you at 100 mph speed smacking your arm that's an obvious injury. What I'm saying is that witches and wizards are very cautious and well protected when it comes to injuries. Therefore how could figg have broken her arm by simply tripping over a cat if she was a witch. It's just not plausible, and I stick to my idea that witches and wizards must have an extra amount of physical protection from injuries since so much has happened to alot of characters in the books and not very often a character is seen to have suffered a broken anything except when facing serious harm by something that is known to harm witches and wizards such as hippogryffs and well Voldemort.

Could she just be a clumsy witch...
I mean, just because she's a witch, doesn't make her any more coordinated, now does it...
Look at Neville after all... he's forgetful, and he's a wizard *in training*... Nothing about him being a wizard is making him able to remember the trick stairs... *hehehe*

Also, I think that the reason that we never hear of witches/wizards getting mimor injuries is that they are not interesting... I mean, how boring would it be to be reading, Ron woke up this morning with an earache because he got some water in his ear and Hermoine's toe was still sore from dropping an overly large book on it?

Make any sense?

LOL that would actually be something I'd like to see printed in a Harry potter booK, I would curl up into a ball from laughing so hard.
