Ok finished the vid. My favorite desk is the one Harry jumps on when Mad Eye Barty Crouch Jr. Moody uses the imperious curse on him during class. My least favorite is the one that Ron jumped on.
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.
The curse kills. For living things, that is the body ceasing to function. For other things, it's being destroyed. Gold cannot be destroyed, therefore it deflects the curse.
@@trash1000 this was a rlly bad theory he connected dots that made no sense to connect, wdym gold cant be destroyed lol. he literally somehow convinced himself to connect totally different things, rlly bad theorying
The question I've always had though is, surely Lily can't have been the only person in history to make a 'love sacrifice'...so how, in ALL of history, is Harry the ONLY person to ever survive the killing curse???
Lily got the choice to live. Voldemort would let her live, if he was allowed to kill baby Harry. Snape asked Voldemort to spare her. Because she didn't step aside, it was a sacrifice. In other cases, people weren't offered the option
@@edopronk1303 but surely Lily can't be the ONLY person to ever do that. Voldy is so evil that he kills without remorse; NO other wizard has ever given someone the chance to step away from the person they're about the kill?!?
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 would like to postulate that being entirely wrapped by the true Invisibility Cloak, would also guard someone from the curse. After all, not even death could find the brother until he took it off.
I think Draco was able to petrify Harry on the train on the way to Hogwarts in half blood prince while Harry was wearing the invisibility cloak, if my memory is correct. So maybe the protection is spell specific?
@@erinmattoon5302 I propose that Harry's foot or part of him was still sticking out, or at least partially visible, making him vulnerable to curses. And when Dumbledore hexes him in HBP, he's able to do so because he is the Master of the Elder Wand. Alternatively, perhaps the protection is specifically against death and death effects, like Avada Kedavra.
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.
Thought about the same. Also, would living plant armor work the same? If love would be needed then lets it be puppies. If gold is needed... Golden retriver puppies?
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.
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.
Now I’m just imagining someone wearing nothing under armour in the dead of summer and am having traumatic flashbacks of metal slides in the sun from when I was a kid. Thanks Ben.

@@luciendelaney8975 well if I add up all of the other curses it should be about 3 thousand years and I turn into a nightmare beast when ever I fall asleep
In case you were wondering, knights wore leather padding underneath their metal armor and clothes under the leather. It's nearly impossible to make skin-tight metal armor and it wouldn't be useful if you gained/lost weight.
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.
In the philosophers stone, dumbledoor destroys the stone but I don’t think the stone itself would be susceptible to the Avada kedavra curse due to its connection with gold and immortality, soa theory I would be interested in would be “how dumbledoor destroyed the philosopher’s stone”
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.
This would make Lily's sacrifice more understandable. Voldemort couldn't kill Harry because Lily's will to protect him as stronger than Voldemorts will to kill.
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
I don’t know how much it would weigh but maybe a gold bracelet similar to Wonder Women’s on the non-wand hand could work. However, the effectiveness would probably depend on how much point control goes into spell casting
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. Tactical Wizzards. I dig it.
@@user-jp6zl5yd1h I was gonna pull the "Accio doesn't work on living things" card, but we see Ron summoning salmon from a river in Deathly Hallows, so...
@@9tydegreez that wasn't Ron. It was either Dean Thomas, Ted Tonks, Griphook the Goblin or anyone else traveling with them? (And yes I know goblins have no wands, so it must have been Ted or Dean)
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.
There is no question that a shield would work though, and even less of a question if you can Dodge. Yes. Yes you can dodge. So why isnt Hogwarts or at least the Defense against Dark Arts Teacher teaching Parkour?!?! No, seriously, dodging is obviously most important. If you dont get hit, you wont get hurt.
I was always thinking about the spell "Avis" where birds fly out of the tip of the caster's wand, if Avada Kadavra was casted towards a caster then wouldn't it hit the birds coming out of the wand instead of the caster?
That would make some sense because since the birds are made of your magic the curse would probably target them too. Thus if you could make them completely independent of your magic reserves then they'd take the hit and you'd be safe. Also would explain why a wizard made the spell.

In the deathly hallows avada kedavra was blocked during the battle hogwarts, this worked when Harry sacrificed himself for hogwarts, so sacrificial love to a group allowed them not to survive the curse but able to block it.
I think they confused blocked and survived. There are lots of instances of avada kedavra being blocked but Harry was the only known person to survive being hit by it.
In ancient civilisations (like Egypt for instance), gold was a symbol of eternity/immortality, because it never corrodes. The flesh of Egyptian gods was said to be made of gold for that reason, which is also why Tutankhamum's mask is made of gold, it symbolizes his eternity. So yeah makes perfect sense.

Actually Harry isn't the one who blocked. It's s protection spell cast by Lily so there for she blocked it. And that's kinda fitting, she's such an exceptional wizard she found a way to block the unblockable.

I felt like Mad Eye Crouchy was talking about blocking the effects of the curse... Once you are hit you are hit, there is no blocking the effect, there is no reversing it. You can dodge and hide behind things or deflect it with spells as much as you want.. as long as it doesn't hit you. (Harry being the exception)
So a Death Eater says it can't be blocked, it must be true. He may have taught them well, but lying about blocking to keep them from researching it seems like something Moody Crouch would do.
Before the video; Avada Kedavra seems to target any creature with Magic. During the duel between Tom and Dumbledore, Dumbledore consistently blocked Voldemort's spells with Transfigured objects. Meaning he was using Magical Objects to prevent the Curse from reaching him.
"so how did harry survive the curse?" "because his mother loved him" "that's cute but how?" "like, literally the power of love. it's literally able to cuonjure magic." "bruh.." "yeh.."

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?)
They made a video on this years ago call golden flame explained" I think in which they basically said the same thing , expecting i think they phrased in terms of horcrux protection instead
I never understood how it was said that Avada Kedavra can’t be blocked, but iirc there was a battle (can’t remember which one, maybe the battle in the Department of Mysteries?) in which it was stated that the Death Eaters were firing to kill, and people were blocking nonverbal spells left and right. Does anyone else remember this?
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
@@DeeSnow97 I'd guess no, as neither side appears to take prisoners. The only possible one we do see is the muggle studies teacher in the begging of #7, and she gets murdered.
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.
Exactly. Just get a galleon and hold it in front of you or throw it like a frisbee. Boom protected. Sure you might lose the galleon but...it's a galleon. You'll probably get it back.
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.
I mean they would have been able to just look at everyone there and say, "hey I don't recognize that guy" or "hey there are two of those people let's focus on them" Having all of them be Harry meant they were all possibly the target.
Because Voldemort gave the Death Eaters specific instructions not to harm Harry but only to capture him so by turning more people into Harry, they were all granted that same protection. Anyone else would be immediately murdered by the Death Eaters. It was a counter intuitive way to keep more of the group safe.
another one that can block/nullify the killing curse: have something that lives between you and the killing curse. Transfiguration has suddenly become more important.............
fun fact: avada kadavera actually means “let this thing be destroyed” in (edit:) Aramaic also from what ive read in the books the projectile the curse shoots is green light so all u need to do is hold up a mirror
It really doesn't mean that, as it's not Latin. It is actually a corruption of Abrakadabra, which...isn't Latin either but was used by the Romans to cure diseases, according to some historians. The ultimate origin is *thought* to be somewhere in the Levant (Syria/Lebanon/Israel/Palestine), as it seems to come from a Semitic Language, but it's unclear which one or what the word actually means.
I think fake Moody also said that curse needs some magical oomph behind it, so maybe not everyone knows how to do it properly. Also at least some of the spells the death eaters used during the battle were defensive
@@falseprophet1024 I think Rowling just wanted us to know he was using that particular spell. Also, I suppose there's not much point in using it nonverbally because you don't have to worry about your opponent having time to do a counter spell as there isn't one.

Location is an area with low cover and a small lake
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.
Hello SuperCarlinBrothers, I am a big fan of you and have been watching since 2018, You guys are the reason why i rewatch and make theories on Pixar, Harry potter, Marvel, Ect. I love you guys and keep up the Good Work.
Ben I have a suggestion for a video: does killing animals or insects damage your soul, and if so does killing an animagi/ maledictus in his or her animagi/ maledictus form count?
Voldemort shows up to Hogwarts for the final battle. They’ve built a gold wall around the castle and covers the walls I gold plating. All the students are now carrying gold shields. Voldemort: darn it 🤣🤣
I think that even if it was known that a simple shield could block the curse, Barty Crouch Jr would still say it was unblockable. It's the perfect opportunity to make his potential enemies feel powerless and gain that extra advantage for the death eaters
So all you might need is the Midas Touch. At worse, you can touch the spell and it goes away but you might lose your finger or hand and at best, you can turn things into gold shields.

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
What would happen if you turned a physical shield into a horcrux? Horcruxes can't be destroyed by Avada Kedavra unless it's a living host, so surely using a horcrux as a shield would block it?

What’s up with that desk basically acting like a phoenix? Do we ever find out if a new little baby desk rose up out of its ashes? Are there Animagi but with office furniture?! So many questions! 🙃
What if it's not gold itself but. . . Phoenixes? The ONLY creature capable of 'surviving' the Killing Curse is a Phoenix. They simply restart their Life Cycle. Aside, from Harry's and Voldemort's wands, there were 3 other Phoenix Core Wands mentioned in the Potterverse. There's a Wand sitting in Ollivander's shop that rejected Harry, a Wand that belongs to a Famous Singer, and a Wand belonging to an old Instructor for Care of Magical Creatures. As far as mentioned, only 2 of these 5 Phoenix Wands have ever come into 'contact' with the Killing Curse. What if the only counter to the Killing Curse isn't a spell or an equally powerful wizard, but a Wand's Core itself? Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair, and Phoenix Feathers are all considered to be 'Supreme Core Materials' with Phoenix Feathers being the rarest. So regardless of whose Wand he was using, Voldemort, or for that matter, no one would be able to successfully cast the Killing Curse against a Phoenix Core Wand. The Wand would emit 'Golden Flames' in the same way a Phoenix would burst into 'Golden Flames' when they go through rebirth.
Ok, so here me out: do you guys remember the theory about the philosopher's stone being made from phionex's due to their penchant for immortality? Maybe it's phionex's that are immune to the spell due to this immortality, and the gold that blocks the spell is gold that was CREATED by the philosophers stone and thus transferred some of it's magic into it?

I always assumed it had something to do with metallic ions and magnetic fields, since ions produce them. Which is why a rock which has a high concentration of them would explode whereas a body with a low concentration just kinda dies, that also would explain why there was no obvious cause of death from it. Also gold famously doesn't form many ions, therefore not all that many magnetic fields.
Logically the curse must be blocked by walls and floors, otherwise it would keep going until it killed someone, so just get a shield made of bathroom tiles or something :P

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.
The curse kills. For living things, that is the body ceasing to function. For other things, it's being destroyed. Gold cannot be destroyed, therefore it deflects the curse.

@@johnnyklepp uhm, what? 😅
The question I've always had though is, surely Lily can't have been the only person in history to make a 'love sacrifice'...so how, in ALL of history, is Harry the ONLY person to ever survive the killing curse???
Lily got the choice to live. Voldemort would let her live, if he was allowed to kill baby Harry. Snape asked Voldemort to spare her. Because she didn't step aside, it was a sacrifice.
In other cases, people weren't offered the option
@@edopronk1303 but surely Lily can't be the ONLY person to ever do that. Voldy is so evil that he kills without remorse; NO other wizard has ever given someone the chance to step away from the person they're about the kill?!?
Voldemort also survived the curse but a lot of people in the Wizarding World never give him credit.
@Shawn4815162342 Both Voldemort and Dumbledore know about sacrificial protection, so clearly, it has happened before.
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 would like to postulate that being entirely wrapped by the true Invisibility Cloak, would also guard someone from the curse. After all, not even death could find the brother until he took it off.
That sounds like more of an aiming issue than a blocking one.
The cloak can repel spells though such as accio, I wouldn't be surprised if it repels the killing curse
I think Draco was able to petrify Harry on the train on the way to Hogwarts in half blood prince while Harry was wearing the invisibility cloak, if my memory is correct. So maybe the protection is spell specific?
@@erinmattoon5302 I propose that Harry's foot or part of him was still sticking out, or at least partially visible, making him vulnerable to curses. And when Dumbledore hexes him in HBP, he's able to do so because he is the Master of the Elder Wand.
Alternatively, perhaps the protection is specifically against death and death effects, like Avada Kedavra.
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.

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.

Also Also Actually Actually, that name is not canon
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.

Never like my comments, I genuinely despise you. I’m sure your a nice person, but I hope you have a terrible life. You could be the worlds best person, but I no joke curse you for seven generations
@@luciendelaney8975 well if I add up all of the other curses it should be about 3 thousand years and I turn into a nightmare beast when ever I fall asleep
In case you were wondering, knights wore leather padding underneath their metal armor and clothes under the leather. It's nearly impossible to make skin-tight metal armor and it wouldn't be useful if you gained/lost weight.
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.
This is so well thought
Then, what about Platinum?
In the philosophers stone, dumbledoor destroys the stone but I don’t think the stone itself would be susceptible to the Avada kedavra curse due to its connection with gold and immortality, soa theory I would be interested in would be “how dumbledoor destroyed the philosopher’s stone”
@@joshhumphrey736 Or... he didn't. He simply lied to everyone (except Nicolas Flamel) and said he did. That way no one would seek it.
Maybe a golden bracelet or gauntlet would be light enough to keep on your non-wand arm for blocking
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.
I assume "Moody" mean that no one in the class did have enough killing intent.
This would make Lily's sacrifice more understandable. Voldemort couldn't kill Harry because Lily's will to protect him as stronger than Voldemorts will to kill.

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
I don’t know how much it would weigh but maybe a gold bracelet similar to Wonder Women’s on the non-wand hand could work. However, the effectiveness would probably depend on how much point control goes into spell casting
Just enchant gold armor. Full body armor with shielding plates, while making it lighter than regular clothing
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.

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.

“Boom boom boom we are not pirates” indeed.
I was always thinking about the spell "Avis" where birds fly out of the tip of the caster's wand, if Avada Kadavra was casted towards a caster then wouldn't it hit the birds coming out of the wand instead of the caster?
If that actually works against the killing curse it would be hilarious.
That would make some sense because since the birds are made of your magic the curse would probably target them too. Thus if you could make them completely independent of your magic reserves then they'd take the hit and you'd be safe. Also would explain why a wizard made the spell.
You could also summon objects from your surroundings and transfigure them into animals.

In a lot of mythologies, gold is considered "the immortal metal" because it never rusts.
In ancient civilisations (like Egypt for instance), gold was a symbol of eternity/immortality, because it never corrodes. The flesh of Egyptian gods was said to be made of gold for that reason, which is also why Tutankhamum's mask is made of gold, it symbolizes his eternity.

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.

I felt like Mad Eye Crouchy was talking about blocking the effects of the curse... Once you are hit you are hit, there is no blocking the effect, there is no reversing it.

OH MY GOSH IT’S SLEVIN CHANNEL
Wow... I thought Harry Potter's baby skin... I'll see myself out 😣
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?)
That was what I was thinking as well.
They made a video on this years ago call golden flame explained" I think in which they basically said the same thing , expecting i think they phrased in terms of horcrux protection instead
Mmmm makes sense.
I never understood how it was said that Avada Kedavra can’t be blocked, but iirc there was a battle (can’t remember which one, maybe the battle in the Department of Mysteries?) in which it was stated that the Death Eaters were firing to kill, and people were blocking nonverbal spells left and right. Does anyone else remember this?
firing to kill doesn't necessarily mean avada kedavra, just means using lethal spells (i.e. sectum sempra)
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

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.

Because Voldemort gave the Death Eaters specific instructions not to harm Harry but only to capture him so by turning more people into Harry, they were all granted that same protection. Anyone else would be immediately murdered by the Death Eaters. It was a counter intuitive way to keep more of the group safe.

@@falseprophet1024 I think Rowling just wanted us to know he was using that particular spell. Also, I suppose there's not much point in using it nonverbally because you don't have to worry about your opponent having time to do a counter spell as there isn't one.
"Inconsistent at best"
An apt summary of J.K. Rowling
GET INSPIRED: ua-cam.com/video/8gHwP0UgaDA/v-deo.html
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?!
Dumbledore is a gay icon!
Trans people aren't real
Your words ring true Mr. Tartarus.
@@MasterDoctorBenji Ask around and have contact with some thousand trasn people, then you see they are real.
They even have yt-channels, duh.
@@slevinchannel7589 I don't think you understood my comment, I pointed out Rowling stood strong with Gay people by posthumously declaring Dumbledore Gay. Then turns around and says Transphobic things. Inconsistent at best as the comment said.
J.K. Rowling doesn't even remember what her own creation (time turners) do so anything she says after the seven books is, to me, completely non canon. Except Dumbledore being gay because he did seem to be rather confident and slightly sassy in the books to me. He also had a passion for making sudden, often surprising appearances.
A non-verbal charms expert would have no problem levitating rocks to block it.
As others here but not enough pointed out:
Theres REAL IMMORTALITY. Via a Jellyfish that does exist.
@@slevinchannel7589 non aging isn't immortality, i can easily Kill any jelifish with some basic tools or even bare hands in many cases.... Kedavra curse is even better tool for that I would argue
At 1:58, it says the line Ben is reading is Chapter Four of Goblet of Fire, when it's in Chapter One of Goblet of Fire
Chapter One: The Riddle House
Chapter Four: Back to the Burrow
Gold is naturally incorruptible, AK is a corrupting curse
Yeah, but itS not a corrupting curse,
you just made that up, so kinda an invalid argument.
Quick question: who do you think would win in a fight, Percy Jackson or Harry Potter? I’d love to debate!
Edit: for everyone asking, it’s Percy after Kane Chronicles crossover with Riptide vs Harry after deathly hallows but before the epilogue with his wand. Location is an area with low cover and a small lake
Percy
Percy
Harry easily he has range
Book five percy or end of heros of the olympics
Percy
I love how even though the super Carlin brothers are slytherin they make Gryffindor Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw aswell as Slytherin armour
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.
When Ben was talking about the Philosopher’s Stone, a weird question came to me. How do you get the elixir of life from the stone? By juicing it?
In the movie version, the stone has liquid pockets on the surface
You ask nicely
maybe put it in water?
Steep it like tea?
Maybe it's like melting?
Hello SuperCarlinBrothers, I am a big fan of you and have been watching since 2018, You guys are the reason why i rewatch and make theories on Pixar, Harry potter, Marvel, Ect. I love you guys and keep up the Good Work.
Ben I have a suggestion for a video: does killing animals or insects damage your soul, and if so does killing an animagi/ maledictus in his or her animagi/ maledictus form count?
And can vegan dark wizards create horcruxes that way?
Voldemort shows up to Hogwarts for the final battle. They’ve built a gold wall around the castle and covers the walls I gold plating. All the students are now carrying gold shields.
Voldemort: darn it
🤣🤣
I think that even if it was known that a simple shield could block the curse, Barty Crouch Jr would still say it was unblockable. It's the perfect opportunity to make his potential enemies feel powerless and gain that extra advantage for the death eaters
About that : what if you cast avada kedavra on :
A already dead body, an inferious, an obscurial, a giant or a dragon
I would conjure something living to take the hit like Avis or Serpensortia.
So all you might need is the Midas Touch. At worse, you can touch the spell and it goes away but you might lose your finger or hand and at best, you can turn things into gold shields.
True ig
“But it’s more of a lovecrux” 😂
I clicked before you could say "Avada Kedavra"
There is no question that a shield would
work though,
and even less of a question if you can Dodge.
Yes. Yes you can dodge.
So why isnt Hogwarts or at least the
Defense against Dark Arts Teacher teaching Parkour?!?!
No, seriously, dodging is obviously most
important. If you dont get hit, you wont get hurt.
Also, Harry being the only one who
ever had someone who loved him die, is
nonsensical.
This is just badly thought-out all though-out,
actually.
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
What would happen if you turned a physical shield into a horcrux? Horcruxes can't be destroyed by Avada Kedavra unless it's a living host, so surely using a horcrux as a shield would block it?
Watching Nicolas Flamel walk, talk, and exist in film is so wholesome.
I love that clip of Flamel just kind of waddling/half running in front of Jacob
Step one: have your mom love you.
Step two: there is no step two.
Step two:Have her die.
Step three:Be Harry Potter

Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit
Nah, step two is that your mum needs to be given the option to live... so your enemy's right hand man being in love with your mother is also a requirement (so he can ask him to spare her). Lucky huh? ua-cam.com/video/NV8g_s4VQEY/v-deo.html (He gets to the point at 4:28 by the way.)
What’s up with that desk basically acting like a phoenix? Do we ever find out if a new little baby desk rose up out of its ashes? Are there Animagi but with office furniture?! So many questions! 🙃
What if it's not gold itself but. . . Phoenixes? The ONLY creature capable of 'surviving' the Killing Curse is a Phoenix. They simply restart their Life Cycle. Aside, from Harry's and Voldemort's wands, there were 3 other Phoenix Core Wands mentioned in the Potterverse. There's a Wand sitting in Ollivander's shop that rejected Harry, a Wand that belongs to a Famous Singer, and a Wand belonging to an old Instructor for Care of Magical Creatures. As far as mentioned, only 2 of these 5 Phoenix Wands have ever come into 'contact' with the Killing Curse. What if the only counter to the Killing Curse isn't a spell or an equally powerful wizard, but a Wand's Core itself? Dragon Heartstring, Unicorn Hair, and Phoenix Feathers are all considered to be 'Supreme Core Materials' with Phoenix Feathers being the rarest. So regardless of whose Wand he was using, Voldemort, or for that matter, no one would be able to successfully cast the Killing Curse against a Phoenix Core Wand. The Wand would emit 'Golden Flames' in the same way a Phoenix would burst into 'Golden Flames' when they go through rebirth.
The desk merch could also refer to Ben’s brain desk, just saying.
15:37 Jacob: *Punches Nicholas in the face*
Nicholas: *Entire face is broken*
It kind of reminds me of how people say wearing gold will prevent curses

Doesn't make the t-shirt
:(
Ok, so here me out: do you guys remember the theory about the philosopher's stone being made from phionex's due to their penchant for immortality?
Maybe it's phionex's that are immune to the spell due to this immortality, and the gold that blocks the spell is gold that was CREATED by the philosophers stone and thus transferred some of it's magic into it?

Moody: "Unblockable."
Me, a POE player: "what about dodge/evasion/avoidance/immunity/absorption?"
Option one: Have a loving mother who will sacrifice her life for you.
Option two: Have a lot of gold.
All right, no blocking for me then
I always assumed it had something to do with metallic ions and magnetic fields, since ions produce them. Which is why a rock which has a high concentration of them would explode whereas a body with a low concentration just kinda dies, that also would explain why there was no obvious cause of death from it. Also gold famously doesn't form many ions, therefore not all that many magnetic fields.
A lilly potter will block you. But the suite of armor would probably be as protective to you as a microwave to a hot pocket
How to survive avada kedavra in one step:
(1) Be Harry Potter
Ben attempting to say “hygge” makes unreasonably happy😄
Clothes don't defend you because they have tiny holes meaning the spell gets through
Logically the curse must be blocked by walls and floors, otherwise it would keep going until it killed someone, so just get a shield made of bathroom tiles or something :P
