    I think the Avada Kedavra explodes when it fails to kill because the spell is cast using the concentrated rage or hatred of the user. When the spell fails to kill, it explodes an amount depending on the amount of rage and power put into it simply due to the frustration of the caster. That would explain why the curse also exploded when Voldemort failed to kill Harry the first time.

      I just had a thought: yes, Lily’s sacrifice protected baby harry from Voldemort, and Harry survived, BUT the more *interesting* event is that VOLDEMORT WAS DESTROYED (not killed, but destroyed). The only reason he didn’t die was because of his horcruxes. Any other situation where the mother’s sacrifice saves the baby, the killer is just gone, so there’s no one left to tell the crazy story!

    I was under the impression from both of movies and books. That the killing curse depended on how much power you put into it. Just like crucio. The very first time Riddle uses it against Dumbledore he probably just cast it as normal because it’s sufficient. After that he really laid it on hence the major distraction. I always thought it looked like and read like, that really really powerful spells took not just extreme concentration and willpower but the desire to cast it. Pushing out that much energy is taxing.

  • @awsmpup9798
    @awsmpup9798 3 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Another thing to add is that Harry seems to have an obsession to gold itself. I don't remember what page, but in the first book, while exploring Diagon Alley, Harry is immediately drawn to a gold cauldron and the only reason he didn't buy it was because Hagrid told him not to.
    And then in a later book, I forget which one (I think either Chamber of Secrets or Prisoner of Azkaban), Harry was internally preventing himself from buying a solid gold Gobstone set.
    The boy is literally attracted to the color and I hold the firm belief that this is why he's such a good seeker.

  • @AngelNearDestruction
    @AngelNearDestruction ปีที่แล้ว +87

    So my take on the killing curse was that it applies the concept of Death unto the target relative to your magical power and willpower (which are very evidently related). Crouch as moody said the entire class could cast the curse at him all period and he wouldn't have so much as a nosebleed, and belatrix taunted Harry and said crucio only truly works if you mean it. We also know from Hermione that visualizing and understanding a spell affects how well you perform it. An inanimate object can't "die" but the concept of death still applies to inanimate objects. If you smash a statue, it isn't uncommon for someone to say "wow you killed it". Therefor, hypothetically speaking, if your will to live and magical power are significantly potent and you are not caught off guard, you could block the killing curse directly with your body and survive. Similarly, since killing something not alive and killing something alive are two seperate concepts bundled under death, if someone uses the curse on a person intending to kill it and it is blocked with an object, the spell doesn't affect the object as well but unless the object has magic or sentience it would have no resistance to the curse. However if someone used the spell on an object and someone of similar power to the caster blocked it, it might not even affect the person.
    However this is all headcanon, it's frankly just an inconsistent spell.

    A gold Shield would indeed be too heavy, whether it's a round Viking style shield, a Roman Scutum, Kite shield or Heater shield, but to make it easier to use and carry you could instead use a Buckler. A Buckler would work the same way as a larger shield except you would hold it out further and while it wouldn't be light (unless through magical means) it would be far lighter than any other type of shield.
    Also with magic you could do defensive version of Darth Traya from Knights of the Old Republic 2 and have multiple shields floating around you like a human sized Dyson Sphere

      Why even use a shield? Most curses seem to be aimed at the enemies body (pretty much center mass), so a ballistic vest/platecarrier with, lets say, a metal plate with a thin layer of gold would work against it.

      The whole "death" thing is just part of the story. There isn't actually an embodiment of death in the potter universe (as far as we know). Mad eye can see through the cloak too so its not like its completely perfect. But its hard to say if it can deflect spells like the killing curse.

  • @nomymother

    1. I'll just reiterate what everyone said about Fawkes. He dies. He was simply reborn, as he is, you know, a Phoenix.
    2. Other than that, gold might be indeed some kind of protective material, but I would also argue it's a matter of density? A whole statue made of solid gold vs a thick sheet of gold as shield might not have the same capacities.
    3. Dumbledore was a powerful wizard, unmatched by almost anyone. So, with the exception of very very powerful wizards, ordinary wizards cannot actuqlly block the curse. So, essentially unblockable.
    4. The battle of 7 Harrys. Voldemort never got to finish his spell. Even if he completed the incantation muted, it wluld not be as powerful. And don't forget, Harry's and Voldemort's soul connection ventured into unknown fields of magic, and it was powerful enough to prompt a wand to act of its own accord. I don't think this instance feeds into the "unbreakable" rule, but into any uninvestigated, as of yet, exceptions.

    Also also actually actually Fawkes is not "unable to die." The whole phoenix schtick is not that they are immortal but upon death the body bursts into flames and the phoenix is reborn in the ashes. When Fawkes swallowed up the Killing Curse, it worked exactly as it normally would, killing Fawkes. It's just that for phoenixes, death is just a minor inconvenience, and he was reborn as usual. (Incidentally, Fawkes swallowing the Killing Curse is almost certainly an allusion to a passage in the Bible in reference to the resurrection: ("Death is swallowed up in victory"))
    As for the idea of gold armoring, I don't think it's confirmed as canon but there was a theory that gold is one of the five principal exceptions to Gamp's law of elemental transfiguration. This would explain why the transmuting into gold aspect of the philosopher's stone would still be valuable to wizards. Under this theory, like food, if you have some gold you can increase the quantity or summon it if you know where it is, but can't conjure it out of nowhere. This could be why people don't just conjure gold shields to block the Killing Curse--you have to happen to have enough gold nearby to act as a shield. The Killing Curse would travel too quickly to allow summoning it from long distances to be useful, unless you happen to be in the room with gold statues (like say, the Fountain of Magical Brethren).
    Gold is a fitting symbol of immortality because it does not tarnish or rust, so it makes sense that gold could block the Killing Curse. You probably wouldn't want to wear gold underbritches though. Either it wouldn't have enough gold content to protect you or they would be incredibly heavy. You'd have to have steel cable suspenders to keep them from falling down, assuming you could even walk in them.

    Something I’ve been wondering since rereading the books lately, and fits along with this, is so you think the Sword of Gryffindor could block the killing curse? It only takes in that which makes it stronger, and seeing as how the sword can destroy a horcrux and the killing curse can’t, I feel like it should just deflect in theory? Didn’t know if this made any sense to anyone but me, even though it seems like you are thinking along the same lines.

      Seriously, i have something to say, so Listen!
      We, as a community, need to Tweet towards J.K.Rowling
      that she should allow the Copyright for Harry Potter
      to be losened a bit.
      Cause we need some Sort of Reboot,
      as almost all books are Lost in Adaptation.
      The movies just do not represent the franchise right;
      evidend by Dobby alone. If you know what i mean...
      And even if we wouldnt need a reboot,
      the creativity of the fans is still limited too much,
      if you get what i mean!
      Like it is, no one can give us what we need and/or want:
      A lot people want a Series about the 4 Founders!
      A lot understand how lost in Adaptation all the books
      are and want all the Movies remade, maybe as a Cartoon,
      maybe not.
      And lastly, a lot of people love the idea
      of a ‚All generation at once’-Cartoon, as
      the AMV above shows. Isnt it epic?
      These 3 things should ALL come to fruition,
      in my opinion. Not to mention at least 1!!
      Currently, the franchise is limited too much.
      Fans should be allowed to make Animations
      about Hogwarts and all ist generations and
      Magical secrets.
      If you agree the creativity is restrained too harshly,
      tweet to Rowling! And also discuss!
      And yeah, i know Rowling gets Tweets about a
      whole other subject nowadays, but lets
      get away from that for a second, to help
      the Harry Potter Franchise, ok?!

      there are a host of lethal or possibly lethal curses Im sure, that arent covered by the Unforgivable curses, but are in fact, blockable. the theme that runs through all of the unforgivable curses if I remember is there is no known magical way to stop it. yes, Harry can throw off the Imperious Curse... but thats his own mental strength, not him casting a spell. as for the Crucitas (I spelled that wrong didnt I) Curse, again, Harry isnt effected by it the only time it gets cast on him in the Forest, but we dont know of any countercurse or block to it, and given that (I believe) Belletrix used it on both Nevilles parents on the same occasion, one would think if they knew a counter to it, they would have used it while she was torturing the other

    Can you imagine having a container of gold and toothpicks and you just flick one in the air in front of the curse and it just stops dead in its tracks, most people probably wouldn't even notice the toothpicks so it looks like you stopped the curse using your own force of will and after you flick it your hand would be out as if you cast the spell without a wand to block it, making you look like even more of a powerful wizard

    This got me thinking: Voldemort shooting Harry in the 7 Potter chase and Harry's wand reacting in some protective spell. What if Voldemort's soul in a living (mobile) vessel does everything it can to protect that vessel and keep him alive? So once Avada Kedavra is cast, that little piece is protecting Harry even from himself? Maybe on default from everything and that is why no matter what he is injured with he never dies? (also the prophecy that says one can die only of the hands of another and cannot get killed on other way?)

    You are forgetting that the unforgivable curses are only as powerful as the feeling behind them. It's why Harry couldn't torture Bellatrix with Crucio. Ol' Voldy said he had to mean it, not just speak it. If your opponent was blocking every attack, you'd be more upset the next time you cast it, so it makes sense the centaur would then burst.

      Elder wand dosnt nessesarly have as much power as its made out too have. I think this same channel has a video on it but to summarize, the wand chooses to be with the more powerful wizzard so one analogy used in the video was a numers game or an rpg game type senerio so imagine a level 7 wizard had the elder wand and fought a level 5 wizard then he would always win but if he fought a level 9 wizard he would have no chance of winning as the wand would choose to swich to the more powerful side (the level 9 wizard) but if a level 5 wizard stole the elder wand from the level 7 while he sleeps the wand would work for him until he duals a level 6 or above wizard. Questions that you might have after reading this are “how did draco disarm dumbldore in the astronomy tower if dumbldore was more powerful” well another thing said in the video about that was that the sickness from the potion of dispare and the curse he had been living with for almost a year at that point made him weaker.

    @KohlMahoney ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It might be a bit far-fetched but hear me out.
    When Bellatrix says that Harry needs to "mean it", aka want to use the unforgivable curse, I think she means that Harry needs to focus on the target (or soul, since all magical beings/items theoretically have a soul) as well as use the spell. You notice that Bellatrix wasn't as affected by the Cruciatus curse, and I think that it's partially because her clothing absorbed some of the spell. If you look back at during the dragon egg task in the Goblet of Fire, Harry has to focus intently on the broomstick to use the accio spell effectively. Then look ahead to the the Half-Blood Prince where he used Sectumsempra on Draco. He didn't know exactly what the spell did, but he focused the attack on Draco's soul.
    So yes, I believe that clothes are a type of armor, just like any shielding spell, but it can only do so much against other more powerful wizards. I also think that a protecting spell can be produced to even block the killing curse (other than the love charm produced by Lily when she died), but since it would have to be so powerful to absorb/deflect the spell, it's too difficult even for Dumbledore to procure.

    I've been thinking about harry potter spells recently, and the fact that time magic exists but not really spacial magic(other than teleporting).

      We, as a community, need to Tweet towards J.K.Rowling
      that she should allow the Copyright for Harry Potter
      to be losened a bit.
      Cause we need some Sort of Reboot,
      as almost all books are Lost in Adaptation.
      The movies just do not represent the franchise right;
      evidend by Dobby alone. If you know what i mean...
      And even if we wouldnt need a reboot,
      the creativity of the fans is still limited too much,
      if you get what i mean!
      Like it is, no one can give us what we need and/or want:
      A lot people want a Series about the 4 Founders!
      A lot understand how lost in Adaptation all the books
      are and want all the Movies remade, maybe as a Cartoon,
      maybe not.
      And lastly, a lot of people love the idea
      of a ‚All generation at once’-Cartoon, as
      the AMV above shows. Isnt it epic?
      These 3 things should ALL come to fruition,
      in my opinion. Not to mention at least 1!!
      Currently, the franchise is limited too much...
      Fans should be allowed to make Animations
      about Hogwarts and all ist generations and
      Magical secrets.
      If you agree the creativity is restrained too harshly,
      tweet to Rowling! And also discuss!
      And yeah, i know Rowling gets Tweets about a
      whole other subject nowadays, but lets
      get away from that for a second, to help

    I think a good theory about the different reactions from the Golden statues blocking the curse is due to inherent love protection against the curse. When a shield is used out to love to shield a love one (Harry) the curse is repelled. When used for self interest (Dumbledore on himself) the curse is stronger and destroys the statue.

Isn’t he the wand maker?!]) was destined to be with that wand, but different wand woods are better suited with different people (for example holly was more “protective” and suited to people who went on spiritual and dangerous quests.) but what if the wand was made out of hazel? Would he have still gotten the wand? What if when Harry’s wand shoots golden flames, it was somehow stronger and was able to block to the curse better because his wand wood was holly?
