In chapter nine of the the first Artemis Fowl book 'Ace in the Hole', Commander Root, of the LEP, agrees to give Artemis one metric tonne of gold in exchange Captain Holly Short. Root is not overly worried about this, as he is certain that the 'Bio Bomb' the LEP plan to detonate in Artemis' home will kill all of the inhabitants, allowing the gold to be reclaimed.

Butler, Artemis' body guard, is unwilling to further partake in holding Holly ransom, as she saved his life in the previous chapter. Artemis assures him that she will come to no harm, and that she WILL be returned home. Butler is also worried about the Bio Bomb and the safety of his sister, Juliet, but Artemis is confident in his ability to evade death. Butler trusts his judgment.

Acting Commander Cudgeon is upset that his plan to kill everyone inside Fowl Manor with a troll was thwarted by Holly, and tries to blame Root for failure. Unfortunately, the disk of the troll attack was 'lost' and he had no proof. He was demoted 'accidentally' shot with a stunning finger gun by Root.

The gold is delivered. While Artemis and co. are waiting for the trolley to arrive, Holly tries to get Artemis to surrender in order to save Butler and Juliet from their impending doom. The offer is declined.

Artemis declares the gold to be legit, but decides he doesn't need all of it and gives back half return for a wish from Holly.

Artemis knocks Butler, Juliet, and himself out with tranquillizer disguised in

champagne.

The house is bombed.

They wake up.

They have escaped the time field by changing their state of mind from awake to asleep, and therefore escaped the bomb.

The fairies come into Fowl Manor when the time field is still in effect (the Bio Bomb affects only living tissue) and are overcome by nausea, thus confirming that Artemis Fowl had survived and succeeded in being the first human to part a fairy from it's gold.

Angeline Fowl, Artemis' mother, comes down from her room for the first time in years. She tells Artemis she is sorry, and that things will be better from now on. The wish Artemis bought from Holly was his mother's health.

There are many different opinions on this question. Many people believe harry potter while others beleive Artemis Fowl. Artemis fowl could win because of his amazing intellect but harry potter has magic. If the had allies Artemis fowl would win because of fairy technology and Butler but in a 1 on 1 with not much time to plan it depends what you are allowed. It also depends when each of them battles. When Artemis is grown up and harry potter is or when they are both young.
