Is Avada Kedavra allowed?
The Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra) was a tool of the Dark Arts and was one of the three Unforgivable Curses. The Killing Curse was a conventionally unblockable curse; therefore shield charms would not be able to defend against it.
Who all can use Avada Kedavra?
Ginny Weasley.
Can Avada Kedavra be non verbal?
The wiki doesn’t list any cruciatus curse as nonverbal, though it does mention that Avada Kedavra may have been the spell used by Bellatrix on the fox at the start of book 6. When Voldemort kills all the Gringott’s guards and goblins in DH, it seemed like nonverbal AK’s to me, but no way to confirm.
Is Avada Kedavra legal in Harry Potter?
Avada Kedavra is illegal. Aurors needed explicit authorization in the First Wizarding War to use the three Unforgivable Curses. They are “moral”. They don’t wish to kill.
What colour is Avada Kedavra?
Avada Kedavra is a curse that can be a range of a few different colours, including blue, green, and somewhere in the middle. Sometimes, it depends on the wand casting the curse as to what colour it is. For example, Wormtail and Voldemort produce a green curse, although Snape’s is slightly bluer.
Why didn’t Avada Kedavra immediately end the duel?
Avada Kedavra in particular is slow enough to dodge. This, by the way, is one reason it wouldn’t have immediately ended the duel. In fact, the odds are good that they were both casting Avada Kedavra; Molly Weasley’s spell was simply the first that hit.
Can Avada Kedavra be used as a defensive spell?
If your opponent is too weak or not inclined to use Avada Kedavra, but they’re dodging your attacks and firing back some spells, you may be better served by casting a defensive spell instead. For instance, Voldemort had to conjure up a shield against one of Dumbledore’s attacks.
