What is your least favorite desk in Harry Potter??
The one Umbridge had Harry sit at for the punishment
you are the best
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.

Ben: Talking about Mad-Eye Moody
Me: CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
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

It seems you skipped over quite a bit of the books/movies, which is why you really misunderstand what "the power of love" actually means lol
Yes..... that is how it works

@@liveactionlink8736 i know its an ancient magic requiring a willing sacrifice but i like joking about my oversimplification.

I was craving some Harry Potter content!
Just know or always. I always do.
Yup same

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.
I’ve been missing duck in a cup
14:49 I was Absolutely sure you were going to say "get yourself a shield made of Harry"
Always struck me as odd that there’s this “unblockable” curse but death eaters use other blockable non fatal curses in battle of hogwarts
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
Avada kedavra cant be cast non-verbally, which seems to make it slow, so it seems more like a murder spell than a battle spell..
@@falseprophet1024 Can't be cast nonverbally? What are you basing that on?
@@limiv5272
From Voldy yelling avada kedavra every three seconds.. lol. I thought it was explicitly stated in the 4th book, but i guess it wasn't.
@@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.
I love how even though the super Carlin brothers are slytherin they make Gryffindor Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw aswell as Slytherin armour
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
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
The podcast Binge Mode beat you to that cop show idea with their pitch "Law and Auror"
I'll watch both of them!
You can just fire stunning spells at it to block it, Harry does it in the battle of the seven potters: “ More Killing Curses flew past Harry's head from the two remaining Death Eaters' wands; they were aiming for Hagrid. Harry responded with further Stunning Spells: Red and green collided in midair in a shower of multicolored sparks, and Harry thought wildly of fireworks, and the Muggles below who would have no idea what was happening-“.
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?

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?!
I think that the killing curse’s only weakness is immortality. It obviously cannot kill immoral beings but it can also not destroy immortal metals. Gold is sometimes considered the immortal metal because it doesn’t rust or really tarnish at all and thus will last more or less forever. This would also make the philosopher’s stone make more sense. It doesn’t do more than one thing at all. All it does is make humans immortal and make materials immortal as well.
As an afficionado of many systems of magic, it's my observation that magic is like electricity. It can do almost anything, but it must be controlled. Which means that you must have at least one of the following:
1. The magic itself is sentient.
2. The caster controls it with his thoughts.
3. There is hardware to direct it.
4. There is software to code it.
In a system with magic words, you have to have number four. Someone coded the spell. That means that somewhere, there is a set of rules that the killing curse must follow. How it behaves depends entirely on what the original coder wrote. This means...
1. it views clothing as part of you.
2. It views armor as clothing.
3. The coder deliberately altered its effect on nonliving things.
The good news is that no coder is infinitely clever. There's always something they didn't anticipate.
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.
I feel like the curse is like a kind of 'pushing' or 'exploding' force, and when it hits a person it pushes or expels their soul from their body and stops every bodily function at once (my opinion I'd really consider that de-living somebody rather than killing them 😂).
But when that force hits inanimate objects, there is no soul to push out or body to stop, so all that force actually just damages the object.
Thats just how I see it though lol
I watched this cause i am certain the deadly spell can be stopped and because i love this channel!!
I have a theory Avada Kadavra is focused specifically on the heart. There's many things that point to Avada Kadavra being some form of electricity based curse, how it appears when casting, Harry's scar etc.
But what if it's so deadly not because of raw power, which it would be lacking as normally electrical shocks can burn or mark yet the people killed have no marks. What if Avada Kadavra is dangerous because of the specific electromagnetic frequency range, what if it's specifically in the range of our hearts EM field and shorts the hearts EMP circuit that keeps your heart beating. This would explain any living organism dying as it targets the heart, it would also explain the more destructive nature of the curse when it hits inorganic substances and doesn't get grounded so acts like a lightning strike.
As a side not, it's fitting because like the cruciatus curse, there are prerequisites to casting Avada Kadavra effectively, perhaps a lack of a proverbial heart like killing in cold blood.
Going back to the video title, I believe it could be blocked drawing inspiration from one of two different universes.
Firstly, metal armour, electricity, that's going to end bad magic lightning or not.
Avatar the last Airbender: there's a few episodes later in the series where they learn lightning redirection, specifically saying to avoid the heart, I believe this kind of theory could be plausible in the magical world with say a wand as a medium.
Marvel cinematic universe: specifically where Thor and iron man are comparing magic to technology, if it's a electrical based curse would a lightning rod negate it? Or leaning more magical would a spell that gives you blubber, a good electrical insulator, help you out against Avada Kadavra?
After all, they never give an in depth Muggle view on the cause of death, it's likely Muggle autopsies put it down as cardiac failure by unknown causes
During the flight of the Potter some of the death eaters killing curses and with Harry returning fire with stunning spells some of the shots collide and explode into what Harry describes as strange fireworks. So maybe if your a really really good shot you could have a killing curse collide with another spell and explode before reaching you. Just it would be super hard to manage it as in the scene it only seem to happen because of the random movements of the flight and the amount of spells shooting everywhere.
Voldemort: NO ONE CAN SIMPLY AVOID AN AVADA KADABRA!!!!
Lily Potter: I'm going to end this man whole carreer.

Ben attempting to say “hygge” makes unreasonably happy😄
Would be cool if it was something about Godrick Gryffindor learning a way of cursing a curse... to be blocked by anything themed after him. Red and Gold, Gryphons, Phoenixes (or at least Fawkes because red/hold), etc. Or maybe to block Voldemort specifically as the heir to Slytherin?
idk, would be cool.
What if Harry’s wand, with the same Phoenix core as Voldemort, Was made of a different wood? Like I know the wand chooses the wizard, and Harry’s wand was made out of holly and the Phoenix feather (explained by olivander, “an unusual mix of wand and core” [also then why did he make that wand? 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?
Moody: "Unblockable."
Me, a POE player: "what about dodge/evasion/avoidance/immunity/absorption?"
No the gold was just a coincidence. Any statue in the ministry would block the killing curses, they just happened to be made out of gold because the ministry is rich.
If you watch closely in the deathly hallows, there are killing curses literally rebounded by the stone soldiers shields.
Thus I think any inanimate object of sufficient heft can block a killing curse. The ones that shatter is down to the power of will of the caster, the death eaters aren't as strong as Voldemort, his killing curses could probably shatter those shields. (Remember that dumbledore apparently was so powerful his expelliarmus would shatter objects when usually this doesn't happen)
This made me wonder if the king midas story inspired the idea of a philosopher's stone
UA-cam: no views

... wha?
Also also actually actually if Voldemort couldn’t hit Harry with the killing curse because of the twin cores, that could be another reason Fawkes doesn’t die die (because it’s his tail feather that’s in Voldemort’s wand). Also also also actually actually actually when Harry’s wand blocks the killing curse during the battle of the seven Potters, it was because Harry’s a horcrux and Voldemort’s soul was doing all the work so it wouldn’t be destroyed (and when Harry wanted to sacrifice himself, he wasn’t holding his wand and the piece of soul wasn’t able to do anything)
Anyone Else Thinking Of “CSI: Knockturn Alley” T-Shirts Now???

#MakeItHappen!!!
So wear goblin made gold washed chainmail, goblin made items absorb only what strengthens it repels what doesn't. So perhaps the gold aspect protects and the goblin magic when incorporated in items maybe could as well.
Additionally in a weird idea, what if because Harry was pressed against the Gold Wizard Statue and the Centaur statue wasn't touched in any way by Harry?
Actually Moody doesn't say it can't be blocked he says it can't be blocked by a COUNTER SPELL, small distinction but the difference being physical non living objects with enough mass can block it, but you can't counter it with a shield charm or anything like that
Another connection. El Dorado, the city of gold that contains the fountain of youth.
*Reads title: *gasp*
From my perspective, the killing curse simply doesn't work as intended when colliding with any inanimate object separate from the human touch. My support behind this thought is that one can not kill what was never alive. I believe that Dumbledore was wise enough to realize this aspect of Avada Kedavra; thus, he enchanted the statues at the Ministry to act as unkillable shields. As far as the different effects of the curse when hitting inanimate objects, I believe this had everything to do with the caster and not the spell itself.
Seriously though I think survival depends on the one that casts it. Mrs Weasley wanted Bellatrix dead. And Belatrix explained to Harry why his unforgivable curses didn’t work, because you have to mean it and enjoy it.
So if someone cast Avada Kedavra at someone and didn’t really want to kill them, or had any regrets, it probably wouldn’t kill them.

@@user-jp6zl5yd1h yea I’m pretty sure everyone’s letter is stuck in the mail dude
my head canon is that the avada kadavra curse
surrounds what ever it hits and kills the tings inside
Felix Felicis may also work. I mean, it makes you super lucky. Also, if I recall correctly, some of Harry's friends drank it and there were hexes, including, presumably, the Killing Curse, flying around near the Tower and one of them missed the good guys and instead ended up killing a Death Eater.
Also the phoenix is connected with Alchemy. The five steps that turn lead to gold are each represented by a bird:
1. Raven
2. Swan
3. Peacock
4. Pelican
5. Phoenix
The phoenix is the final step, the transformative step.
what happens if somebody uses avada kedavra and the person they attempt to kill with it uses avada kedavra to block it
like one day mr. voldybaldy gets angry at a guy named luciuslocks and challenges him to a duel
voldybaldy: Abra cadabra, oops my bad, AVADA KEDAVRA
luciuslocks: AVADA KEDAVRA
what would happen then?
Kinda unrelated to the theory, but I don’t think Hagrid is really a “father figure”. Sure, he first tells Harry about magic, but Ron goes on to teach him a lot more abou TV the magical world in the same way Hagrid does. Harry does not really look up to Hagrid, no pun intended, it the same way he does to Dumboldor or Sirius either. In fact, when Dumboldor dies, there is a line in the book about how his last protecter aka guardian, has died, and nothing is standing in the way in between him and Voldemort. I think that Harry sees Hargird as a close friend, but I am open to others opinions.
I think that they represent different elements of what a father is. Dumbledore represents the wisdom and safety a father gives. Sirius is a fun big brother type, the father who plays baseball and builds lego and teaches you to fight and win. Hagrid is the kind, teddybear daddy who tucks you in at night and in who’s lap you can cuddle up and cry when the bicycle ride ended with a bleeding knee. A great father embodies them all.
Hagrid is the most transparent plot device
@@a1990hussain You’re right I hate to admit it because I love Hagrid but you’re right
What about Mr Weasley tho?
@@heisencraft_official He is all of them. Strong and has his head properly attached to his shoulders (as we say in Sweden), trustworthy, fierce in battle, brave, kind, playful and a source of safety, stability and advice for his and others children throughout the books. A great father. Not enough credit is given to Molly and Arthur Weasley. I read the books for the first time as a late teenager and didn't think much about them. But now I am a 34 year old with children of my own and the new heroes of the story for me is them. Having that many children and having them all turn out as good as theirs is a true testiment to their characters. Parenting is not easy.
How much work do y’all think it takes to move the chair every sentence from one side of the screen to another
I think the killing curse makes your heart stop. But it makes it stop with almost a very large beat that is why it explodes when hitting non living objects.
I was actually just recently thinking about how goblin made armor could POTENTIALLY protect someone against the killing curse. Maybe a uniquely made extremely special suit of armor made by goblins. We tend to listen to what all the characters in the Wizarding World say but who’s to say they know all the secrets of their own world and of magic itself. We already saw that Crouch was wrong about the killing curse not being able to be counter cursed, like it’s said in the video.
now I'm wondering what would have happened if the sword of griffindor had been hit with the killing curse. that'd be kinda funny
If a wizard gives blood and someone gets a transfusion does that have the same effect?
To be fair, the "Moody" that told Harry and company of the unforgivable curses was actually one Barty Crouch Jr, and therefore anything he says (save when under truth potion) should be subject to intense scrutiny.

It may be that one of the major properties of gold is it never oxidises so therefore never "dies"
Well if you consider gold as the color of divinity, immortality, royalty and the like; it would be easy to see why the killing curse wouldn't work on things that were gold or related heavily to it at least in the book of we are going with the symbolism thing
Me, strapping 50 pheonixeses to me: I need no armour! XD
Heyyy Brother I've been following the channel for a long time now and it's a great thing for me to know this stuff as a potterhead but I have a question about "How dumbledor retrieved the memory from the ministry official Bob Ogdan?"
For a long time I was expecting that Voldemort's name would be the undiscovered counter curse to avada kedavra.
1. I would have golden armor on my arms at all times while out and just nope the curse
2. My least favorite desk is umbidge’s desk in deathly hallows
You could also just disapparate. Also imagine death eaters apparating in the middle of cities, releasing fiendfire and disapparating.
Clothing + magic has always been a sore spot for me. Like, if you teleport... how does the magic know to transport your clothes? And if it knows your clothes, how does it know not to transfer part of the floor? Or the whole building?
After much thought, I think the armor might protect the human but since the armor would be completely destroyed or caught on fire the human inside would die anyway due to the shrapnel. Which would be a lot more painful than instant death. So I would go without the armor, personally lol
Harry's Expelliarmus seems to be doing a pretty good job of blocking Avada Kedavra. Harry Potter blocked it a few times from Voldi and when Harry finally defeats him he is not even using his own wand.
Kinda.. But movies seem wierd. At starecase where Harry fights tom it looks like he simply blocks multiple killing curses like simple spells. Argument is ofcourse that Harry is the true master of elder wand
0:18 except if I'm right that's Barty Crouch Jr not Professor Moody
also this movie I got so involved in it I forgot it was a movie and ligit thought david tennant was playing all the professor moody parts and fun fact during the filming goblet of fire David tennant was still the 10th doctor on doctor who. (there was also planned a crossover and they kinda did that with peter capaldi's doctor and newt schemander from fantastic beasts but i'm not quite sure if that was the actor being himself or playing newt.)
Next day at school,
Hey did you do that math homework we are bound to submit today?
Nope, but I can block the killing curse.
Here is another element to it, the opposite color on the color wheel to green is red, the philosophers stone is red and it does the opposite of the killing curse, so the whole gold thing still works because the stone creates gold… interesting.
I could see a suit of armor protecting the wearer some, if you block the spell with your shield it explodes and send shrapnel but the spell itself don't harm you same with the armor. There are theories that muggle and wizards fought in the past and full plate of armor and shields might have protected some against the killing curse, other spells however like fire spells would work greatly.
Why don't wizards wear armor then? Well it would be heavy and cumbersome and dodging is better then blocking, and when we see fights we don't see spams of Avada Kedavra so armor would hinder more then help.
I think the problem was that the movie was not very accurate off the book. The book says that the unforgivable curses cannot be blocked, however you see it quite a few times that the avada kedavra curse gets blocked… just not very on point
Boutta block the curse with a 24 karat chain
Gold is always coming up in the Harry Potter books, but is the Phoenix feather in Harry’s wand gold as well 🤔
Ben: "if you had the right armor, would you block the killing curse?"
Me: I mean...yeah. The right kind of armor is plot armor
I’m going to have to downvote the gold underbritches because 1) imagine the chaffing, 2) flexibility comes at the cost of durability (more flexing=more brittleness) and 3) I’d have to take them off to use it to block the curse
Unfortunately I think you’d specifically need golden armour or a shield not just to have something gold on you because galleons would’ve saved people,
Also I theorise the spell CANNOT break or damage pure gold which is why it only glanced off the wizard statue but the centaur statue wasn’t pure gold because you know the ministry, save money wherever they can so let’s skimp on the statues of the “half breeds” because only the humans need to be “pure”
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.

Ya well ik that but I am just like making sureish
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 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.
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.
Tactical Wizzards. I dig it.
Avada Kedavra is overrated...NNNNNNNYYYAAAAAAAAA is clearly Voldemort's most powerful spell.

I wear a skin tight latex suit under my metal armor
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.
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.
Seems like Harry is a magpie haha
If Harry wasn't such a good boy he'd be a niffler lol
“Avada kedavra”

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 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.
True

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are also called the Golden Trio. Gold comes up a lot

Maybe Mad-eye wasn't a Chudley Cannons fan and that's why he had the pirate voice.
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.

Defense against Dark Arts Teacher teaching Parkour?!?!
No, seriously, dodging is obviously most
important. If you dont get hit, you wont get hurt.

“Boom boom boom we are not pirates” indeed.
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.

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.
so basically you've just told me that a galleon could repel the killing curse. okay got it. thanks.
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.
