No, no.
Jaime does not actually own a Valyrian steel sword. The blade he used to kill King Aerys is common castle-forged steel, gilded to match his golden armor. But he can certainly get hold of a Valyrian blade for the fight — Widow’s Wail, the twin to Oathkeeper, "both made when his father had Ice melted down and reforged. Widow’s Wail went to Joffrey, but we all know how that turned out. Now it belongs to Tommen, but the kid’s not old enough to use it."
A sword is not enough, though. This duel is life and death. Jaime is not likely to prance into that clearing smiling and clad only in cloth. He’ll armor himself before the match. His gilded plate-and-mail (this is not a fit occasion for the white of the Kingsguard), a crimson cloak, and a shield strapped to his right arm and emblazoned with the lion of Lannister. And of course he will have a helm. Knights who enter battle without one are soon dead. He can smile at Hermione before the match, then lower his visor. The helm, of course, would be fashioned in the shape of a maned lion. (Oddly enough, the Lannister arms look a lot like those of Gryffindor, which might give Hermione a moment’s pause).
He’s not going to waste time and effort swatting at birds with his sword, either. He’s encased in gilded steel. What are they going to do, crap on him? He’ll rush right through the birds, and go straight for Hermione. A sword is not a knight’s only weapon. While she’s watching the blade, he will slam his shield right into her face, knock her off her feet. Let her try and mumble those spells with a mouthful of broken teeth.
And if somehow Granger does get off that spell (cheating, really) and turn him upside down, Jaime is more likely to undo the straps on his shield and fling it at her head then to hang there meekly waiting to die.
But hey, let’s say everything goes the way your “experts” say it will, and Hermione wins. Sad to say, she will not live long to enjoy her victory. Sometime very soon, when she least expects it, a “boy” she does not know will bump up against her in the corridors of Hogwarts… and suddenly she’ll find a dagger sliding through her ribs, right into her heart. “A Lannister always pays his debts,” Tyrion will say, as he slips back into the shadows.

Muggles can't find Hogwarts and besides madam pomfrey could heal a stab wound
This argument is lol Hermione would kick Jaimes ass because she has a magic wand

This was written by georgie martin, and in response to some people being like "hermione can kick jaimes ass". He obviously thinks she doesn't stand a chance because the moment she shows up her face would get bashed in and she's not getting a lot of use out of her magic wand like that.

Assuming she's retarded and would get within arm distance of Jaime
She would paralyse him from a distance, or Stupefy him

She would, there are no instances in the books where wizzards are using their magics on people from more than like 5-10 meters distance. Also, I think the original question was about a duel between the two, in which the opponents start about ten meters distance from each other.

Shields are heavy and Cumbersome, they're not a throwing weapon. There's a reason armoured knights didn't ride up to their enemy and lob their shield at him lol
If you're going to throw a shield heavy enough to cause damage you'll get nowhere, HP characters have dodged spells fired at them which are a lot faster than a shield would be
Also Hermione would have her own shield in the form of the Shield Charm
Look nothing against Jaime but a muggle plain couldn't defeat a wizard, no way!

Also Jaimes shield is strapped to his stump hand, so he would need to drop his sword, undo the straps one handed and throw his shield hard enough to cause damage with his bad hand, then pick up his sword and run forwards five metres
Come on

Right. Their enemy was wearing armor and they have only one shield. Hermione is clad in robes.
> If you're going to throw a shield heavy enough to cause damage you'll get nowhere, HP characters have dodged spells fired at them which are a lot faster than a shield would be
So she'll be distracted while dodging, giving Jaime time to get close enough to hack her to bits.
> Also Hermione would have her own shield in the form of the Shield Charm
The shield charms are mostly geared towards protecting against magic and were shown having difficulty with arrows being shot at them. You think it'll do much against a grown knight hacking away at it with a sword?

Hermione has plot protection. No one in game of thrones does. He seriously underestimated Hermoine

You are underestimating how decisive throwing your shield is in a fight, it won't do shit even if it hits her, the only way it could do damage is if he gets close and slams her with it to push her back for a sword swing and she would immediately hex him so he is incapable of physical aggression
Even if he stood a chance against some other characters like Ron he couldn't beat Hermione when there is prep time, she's like Batman.

You are underestimating how useless holding a shield is against a wizard. I mean, come on, it's magic. And hexing someone takes time. You don't have a lot of time when someone is trying to murder you with a sword.

It takes only as long as it takes to say "Stupefy!", you have as much time as it takes for someone clad in heavy platemail armour to run 5m (Widows Wail is a one-handed sword around 60cm-80cm long), also Jaime is using the wrong hand so is a very poor swordsman, he admits himself he would have trouble defeating even an amateur.
