Avada Kedavra is EXTREMELY difficult to perform and the person casting it must truly want to murder that person. Otherwise, it will do nothing. No one is just able to say it at any time. You need to genuinely, really, want that person dead, right there, by your hands. That is why it is rare.
Yes, and also sometimes the death eaters just opt for something quicker and less permanent. They don't always want to kill. Except Bellatrix, she's barking mad. The death eaters also have been ordered by Voldy not to kill Harry as he wants to do it himself. They can kill anyone also though. And for regular people, well Avada Kedavra is not only permanent, it's illegal. You get a life sentence in Azkaban for it.
You're right. Ginny is somewhat flat as a character. She started to shine ( a little) in this film, though. Rushing after Harry in the field, and her dialogue was very well written.
@@SkyManBGProductions Ginny Sue's not that great even in the books. She's a wish fulfilment for jo, she's what jo wanted to be back in high school. There's no character flaw unlike Luna or Hermione.
Ron is not dumb, he is actually street smart. The screenwriter Steve Kloves just loved Hermione so much that he gave her most or all of his smart lines and made him seem dumb for comic relief when he was already funny but in other ways. He makes Ron seem pointless and makes Hermione perfect by taking away all her flaws. Ron also gave Harry and Hermione a lot of information about the wizarding world since he lived there all his life and Harry and Hermione didn't, but Steve Kloves also gave those lines to Hermione even though she lived in the muggle world.
Not the screen-writer, the producer. He's very close to Emma and her family and insisted that she plays a more significant role in the films from the very beginning.
I always, always thought it was SUPER weird how they made Hermione had so much knowledge about the wizarding world, when she was muggle born and lived her whole life in the muggle world. She just comes in the first few days and knows everything. Nah... Super forced.
If you like Ginny in the movies, which is already quite rare, you will adore her in the books. In the books her relationship with Harry fits perfectly.
@@Fire91ful I think is very well developed but ofc it won't focus too much on it, Harry Potter is not a love story, there's so much more things to focus, we get more about Ron & Hermione but because they are always together.
@@lucysmith6530 ye because to her he is because in the books in this year Draco talks to her a lot & cries to her as well & talks to her about how he feels she was one of his only friends so myrtle actually liked Draco she considered him a friend
To answer ur question not everyone can perform the killings curse cause u have to be a powerful wizard and have enough hate to mean it in order to achieve the effectiveness of it. Bellatrix killed black cause he was her family and she hated him/ she is powerful. And the good guys don’t use it cause they don’t want to go to Azkaban prison due to it being an unforgivable spell.
That makes a lot of sense, but I still feel like it isn't enough of a good reason to justify its existence. I think Rowling should have made it more harmful to the caster, so as to make it a huge risk for those choosing to use it. It's like giving Hitler the nuclear bomb and the allies are still using bolt-action rifles.
@@HelloNewman Magic is not like shooting bullets. The spells coming out of the wand is basically an expression of the wizard's emotions, not like ammunition stored inside shooting out. It is very difficult to do even simple spells, it requires focus, concentration, practice and the fact that the person "means to do it". This is explained again and again in Hogwarts when they learn to do spells in class or for homework or DA or something. For example, you can imagine a wizard just repeating "Avada Kedavra" over and over again and pointing his wand around and his wand basically acting like Rambo's machine gun. But that can never happen because even to do it once is difficult, the ones after it , as Moody/Crouch explains in the 4th book, "wouldn't even give me a nosebleed".
The problem for me is the memories/horcruxes. We do not understand anything about Voldemort and what the Horcruxes are. To me the memory chapters are my favorite chapters in any of the 7 books. To have them almost completely gone and the little we get be so destroyed is just depressing.
This movie lacks everything, the Memories, the ministry, the tru tension, the final battle in Hogwarts, the romance of H and G, dumbledore funeral. Even the scenes that are in th movie are really bad in comparisson with the book. Its Just terrible
@@igorthadeu6094 Yeah but all of the movies are missing big things and aren't consistent with the books. Look at how everyone has mastered broomless flight and how every duel ends with priori incantatem. I believe that despite the omissions in HBP, the flow of the movie is still better than other HP movies.
@@ryder3112 Agree, those are also my favorite chapters in the Harry Potter series. They cut too many of the memories, and added too much of the romance, and they didn’t even do it in a good way, the romances (especially Ginny and Harry) are so awkward in this film
The killing curse is blockable, just not with magic. If you can get a physical item between you and the curse then the curse cancels upon hitting it. In the books, Dumbledore uses this several times when fighting Voldemort at the ministry. Voldemort was throwing it out like candy and Dumbledore was bringing statues to life or summoning parts of the destroyed walls and fountain to block the spells.
its been over a decade, but everytime i watch the series i am still astonished how much they destroyed Ginny as a character not to mention her relationship with Harry.
jojo * People feel that way just because how the script was writen, puting Ginny aside for 5 movies, that’s why her and Harry seem to have cero chemistry and then suddenly trying to make them fall in love without Ginny’s backstory with her love to Harry in the past years. The script writer made Hermione a better character (I mean, I love her), but he left behind many characters (Neville, Dobby, Ginny) to put Hermione on the spot light and in more scenes with Harry. He had Harry and Ginny’s full development in the books, but he ruined it because he wanted Harry to be with Hermione💔
Loved this. Did you understand that Snape knew how to heal Draco bc Harry used a spell from his book? Same with how Harry knew how to heal Ron it’s bc he read how to in Snape’s book. I love this movie I just wish we saw more of the strong popular Ginny she is in the book, I wish I could say things they left out but I don’t want to spoil anything in case you want to read the books. Also, after you finish the movies you should take a test so you can know which house are you and know the real difference between the houses. The new professor, Slughorn, is a slytherin. Lockhart (movie 2 professor) is a Ravenclaw. Cedric (RIP) is a Hufflepuff and Peter (the rat) is a Gryffindor so the house doesn’t really define who you are. Waiting for p3 💘
Killing curse is unforgivable and the most forbidden spell. Knowing you've seen the whole movie already ill go into it here so When one kills their soul is split. Only people with darkness in their hearts and the motivation can use the killing curse. Moody (Barty Crouch) said that you could use the killing curse on him but he'd probably get no more than a nosebleed
@@boristurovskiy351 Dumbledore is far more skilled and powerful than Voldemort. Tom tries many times but Dumbledore deflects them. Tom wants to prove he's better.
@@alanplays2881 Except that isn't how the killing curse is described, as an unblockable insta-death spell. Now, if spells work like shown in the movies, as 'something' being hurled around, one can probably dodge, or use cover; that still doesn't explain why Voldemort in his duel with Dumbledore doesn't do an Avada Kedavra spam instead of the very much blockable/counterable curses he uses.
@@boristurovskiy351 The only reason I can see Dumbledore being able to is his wand. Everyone else has to dodge or hide behind an object. Not everything always makes sense but Rowling has her reasons for why he didn't. My guess is its because Tom still has some form of honor and wanted to prove he was the far superior wizard while dueling Dumbledore, who is thought to be one of the greatest wizards of his time.
@@alanplays2881 Yeah you might be right considering that even when he had every chance to kill Harry in Goblet of Fire, he didn’t because he wanted to “preserve the niceties” of dueling.”
To be honest, compared to so many other franchises, the Harry Potter movies are surprisingly really well adapted from the books. They're not perfect, of course, but as adaptations go, they are really good.
I am really having fun watching your reactions to this one. You're laughter is contagious and its refreshing how your coming around to characters like Luna which we readers and watchers loved from the start. Still I like your comments and reactions. I'm glad you're getting so into another one.
@@shinjite06 it's not about how long is it, for me, it's about how much Voldemort memories skipped to put more minutes than needed for the love scenes.. We get it you can skip that.. Give us some Voldy past or at least pay attention to the prince's book
@@79bewareofpuppies97 🤔 nice thought.. But i don't think it will be enjoyable, when the main character is a psychopath it will be so creepy to watch and predictable..it's great as a side character though
Killing curse(avada kedavra) is forbidden and difficult to perform. Only if you TRULY want to kill someone you will be able to do it. Also while you can`t block it with your wand, you can throw objects at it to block it or you can dodge it. In Order of phoenix at the Dumbledore vs Voldemort duel in the books Voldemort casted Avada kedavra several times but Dumbledore blocked it with throwing statues at it every time.
Half Blood Prince is my fave movie and book. You can expect teenagers to be ruled by hormones so its just normal. The intrigue is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
According to Prof Moody (aka Barty Crouch Jr) in GoF book: "You students could all say Avada Kedavra at me and all I'd get is a nosebleed. You have to mean it."
I started part 1 right as part 2 came out, not knowing there would be 3!! I'm so excited; this has been the best HP-related content I've seen in a long time! Keep up the good work! 👍
Sposedly in the book explains 3 things. 1. that curses like Avrakadavra are very difficult to do, if you have not practiced. 2. You must really WANT that person is dead. 3. Using some of the curses, gradually ruins your mind, makes you more insensitive. - For that reason in the 5th movie, Harry used the torture curse on Bellatrix. Bellatrix just fell to the ground, and began to laugh, the curse didn't have much efect in her.
12:54 It is explained in the books that every time someone uses the Avada Kedavra spell, a part of their soul is ripped apart. They touch a little on this in the movie when young Tom asks Slughorn about the Horcruxes, but not enough to understand why it is the ultimate Forbidden Curse.
I know I'm a year late on this but your take on things, and the way you present your opinion, prevents me from doing reaction videos myself because you're are just so good at what you do. I have subbed despite my hatred of this lol
One example for why this is my least favourite Harry Potter movie, is that Burrow scene. They burned it down, adding nothing to the story, and adding a scene that wasn't in the books. The Burrow even comes back in the 7th movie if i'm not mistaking. They just added it, because they wanted some action in all that boring, exaggerated drama. Yes there was teen drama in the book, but it wasn't too much, and it was done well. In the movie it dominates the film and is very badly done Edit: It also adds a huge plot hole. In the books you can't just come there, there are protective spells stopping you. But if they could just come there in the movie, why did Voldemort not just show up and kill Harry?
I was always surprised that Remus never reacts to Greyback (the weird tall guy with Bellatrix) being there. Greyback is the werewolf that bit Remus as a child.
Slughorn buzzing, spilling beer on Hermione, and saying all hands on deck Granger... is the highlight of the entire series. Avada Kedavra is considered very difficult to cast both physically and mentally. Intention and desire to kill (passion) must be there as well. As a music analogy, think of it like trying to play a complicated chord vs. hitting an open string. In the middle of battle it sometimes is easier to just fling out easy spells. The movies DO NOT do a good job of showing or explaining that. The main issue I see... is that a gun would probably be better than using magic to fight and exists in their universe... Harry potter and the ar-15.
Hi! sorry I know I'm 9 months late, but using muggle weapons would mostly be pointless because unless the person was killed instantly, most muggle injuries can be healed easily with magic
Avada Kedavra is an extremely difficult spell. When Moody(BCjr) is theaching them about unforgivable curses, he says that he would be confident that everyboby in the class could use that spell agaislnst him and that he wouldnt even get so much as a nose bleed.
12:38. Here's my take on it: In Order of the Phoenix Tom says to Harry it's not enough to know the spell you have to want it; and that is why everyone doesn't Crucio all the time. Same with the killing curse, like its not enough to just be angry, or to want to kill someone even, you have to want to murder them in cold blood to make the spell work. All spells basically work this way, which makes it super interesting that all spell success' and failures are essentially rorschach test.
Not everyone can use the Avarda Kadarva killing curse spell because in order for you to produce the curse you need to truly want the other person dead with no remorse, the same goes for the crusio curse (torture curse) you really want to see the other person in pain and suffering that’s why in the last movie when Harry hit Bellatrix with the crusio curse she only got struck down because Harry didn’t truly mean it that’s why Voldemort was egging him on to mean it
Rob Knox, the actor who portrayed Marcus Belby (the fat guy in the dinner of The Slug Club) died at the age of 18 after he was stabbed outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup, South East London, on 24 May 2008. He had intervened in a fight to protect his 17-year-old brother Jamie, who was being threatened by two men, one of whom was armed with two knives.
I think something people dont talk about enough is how funny JK Rowling's writing in the books are. This movie does the best job at showing that on film
In the books Hermione is not popular at all she is known as know it all and a show off, her only friends are Ginny, Ron and Harry whereas Ginny is very popular and likeable and one of the best quidditch players on the team which is not shown in the movies at all
I've always thought of the killing curse conundrum in HP like this: Avada Kedavra is not only really difficult to cast, but requires a lot of magical "energy," not to mention it has to be verbalized, so the casting of it is less efficient than other spells which can be quicker, non-verbal, and just as deadly. Voldemort uses it all the time because he has exceptional stamina, and he's so filled with rage he has no problem casting it.
She was?! LOL! Honestly, though, it would have detracted from the scene in the movie which was like a mini Jason Borne scene, so I see why they took her out.
@@Vicious97 he literally had conversations with her in the book. Which honestly could have been shown somewhere amongst the scenes flipping back and forth to his arc.
It was hilarious, the way you laughed when Snape said: "Astonishing, your gift, Potter. The gifts us mere mortals can only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to be the chosen one." 😂
"Why doesn't everybody use Avada Kedavra all the time?" - precisely the question that had been bugging me. Now, it does require a certain power level - I don't remember whether it has been spelled out in the movie, but in the book when fakeMoody shows the class the spell he says something like 'You could all point your wands at me and say the incantation and I wouldn't even get a nosebleed'. And we know why it doesn't work when Voldemort uses it on Harry. But the whole fireworks between Voldemort and Dumbledore in the fifth movie (for all the awesomeness of the scene) seem to be quite pointless, because why bother with flaming serpents and flying glass shards when you could just end it on the spot?
Voldemort did use Avada Kedavra in the fight, in the movie and the books. Dumbledore found ways to block it. And its specifically stated in the books that dumbledore isnt trying to kill him in this fight, merely drive him off/ protect harry
Funny thing in this scene. When Malfoy and Harry battles youre happy Mouning Murtle is not in the scene, but in the book she is xD They cut her out of the movie here. In the book Malfoy confides to her because he has no one else to talk to about his task.
People don't use the killing curse because: 1. It requires a certain amount of power and skill 2. You need to really hate and want to kill the person, otherwise its effects would only cause minor injury 3. It is one of the unforgivable curses, so you would be sent to Azkaban as soon as you used it on a person. Spoiler! 4. It would split your soul into pieces, like Voldermort's, and create horcruxes, making you no longer human and looking pale and ghostly, like voldermort, if you did it too many times.
I know it's three weeks late, but I'll answer this anyway: The movies never explain, but in the books, it's stated that if a wizard kills someone else, their soul is torn apart, as Slughorn explained in the memories, but he didn't go into depth. Unless it's in self-defense or killing as an act of mercy, the killer's soul becomes damaged, and once they die, their soul will be condemned to damnation in the afterlife. Just because the Death Eaters are attacking, doesn't mean the good guys can start killing them in cold blood.
When you asked about this Avada Kedavra spell and why they don't use it. It made me think about the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in fifth book and movie. In the book Voldemort uses this spell right away at Dumbledore, trying to kill him but the phoenix that Dumbledore has eats he spell and of course dies and returns, then he uses it more times and in one case Dumbledore conjures real life metal shield. That was, in the book, I think a way to show how powerful and fast is Dumbledore with his magic because anybody else would have died at that point.
The ‘Slug Club’ reminds me of some college professors back when I went to college in the 80’s.. Edit: They aren’t so uptight about the use of alcohol in Britain. 16 to 18 (which is the legal age) is generally considered an appropriate age to drink, so one small glass of aperitif wouldn’t be thought amiss.
Im 33 and 2020 had me watching reactions like crazy too. Loving yours and the cynicism but appreciation of it lol. Hope you do more. Game of Thrones? Mandalorian? Breaking Bad? Ozark? Watchmen (The Show), A selection from Mad Men? Black Mirror? Well met friend peace
The avada Kedavra is a dark spell. Like the other two you need to wish the person pain/enslavement/death from the deepest of your soul, harry didn't manage to cast one at Bellatrix in the ministry. They also earn you prison for life. And more importantly killing (intentionaly) tears the soul and make you less and less of a human.
The simple explanation to why everyone doesn't throw around the three unforgivable curses is because they'd end up in Azkaban. But just like a patronus charm it requires intent. Harry couldn't project one strong enough at first bc he couldn't focus on a memory happy enough to maintain it but then when Sirius invited him to live with him that was the happy feeling he used to power the spell when they went back in time. The unforgivable curses are the same. As shitty as the death eaters are Harry's intent is never to take a life which is why it would be pointless to use it. He'd have to REALLY and I mean REALLY want them dead. That's why he was able to use the cruciatus curse on Bellatrix right after she killed Sirius, the kid was literally enraged and wanted to cause her pain but then he snapped out of it.
A lot of people do feel this is a bad adaptation I suppose. I think it’s because this book is such a wonderful book and there’s so much they had to cut to make the film. Personally, I like this movie a lot even though it’s my favorite of the books and I wish they would have turned it into two films to fit more content.
The last 3 movies although changed or missed much of the books story managed , like you pointed out, to keep in the spirit of the story more intact and the director did a good job at showing who these people are and their true characters. It is one of the best movies when it comes to acting, the movie score is again really good and in pace with the story and the intrigue is intense in this one. We also see a change in Malfoy which by itself is very interesting because we do not know where it leads but can begin to grasp. One thing that made me sad about it, well two things, the story does have Dumbledore picking up Harry at his aunt and uncle house and telling them off about the way they abused Harry and bullied him, which is rather satisfying. At last an adult calls them off for being a pair of abusers. The second thing was that in Dumbledore's memories Harry, and us, learn a lot more about Voldemort's past and his family . He is indeed the last descended of Salazar Slytherin, but his family was so bigoted towards muggles and even other pureblood families that they ended up marrying only cousins, they wanted to keep their blood the most pure possible and also retaining Slytherin's unique traits, one of them Parseltongue, speaking with snakes, so we see a memory of his grandfather, uncle and mother, all three on the verge of insanity. His grandfather , Marvolo Gaunt, was a very proud of his heritage man and a very violent man, his uncle was insane, cruel ( and only spoke Parseltongue) and his mum nothing but a pathetic figure who was abused and her skills with magic were very poor. They were extremely poor, living on a shack near Tom Riddle's family property hated and despised by everyone. His mother, Merope Gaunt was inlove with Tom Riddle but she was not only poor, but also ugly and shabby, Riddle makes fun of her. The two male Gaunts attack a ministry man and end up arrested in Azkaban leaving poor Merope at last free of her awful violent and dominating father and her deranged brother, she manages to give a love potion to Tom Riddle, They elope, get married and she gets pregnant, with time ,believing that Tom loves her she stops giving him the love potion and is devastated when he abandons her after the effect of the potion passes, destitute and broken hearted she gives birth to a boy and after naming him Tom Marvolo Riddle she dies, because she does not wish to go on living without her husband. They had two heirlooms from Slyterin himself, a ring and a locket, that Merope takes with her whe she elopes . Needing money she sells the locket at the store owner that we see at the start of the movie, he gives her almost nothing for it. Later in another memory we see Tom after leaving Hogwarts working at that same store, and the locket being bought by a rich old witch, who later on is found dead and the locket gone. This sounds random but it is important, because it explains a lot of what made Tom Riddle become Lord Voldemort, why he killed his father and despised his mother and also the parallels with love sick kids giving love potions to one another ;)
12:55 That's the weapon arguement that most US Americans won't get... The rest of the world just doesn't think like that about weapons and the usage of them...
For the unforgivable spells.. you have to mean it. Harry tried using the torture curse against Bellatrix in the ministry battle. Voldy told him you have to mean it. Further, it can be blocked by conjuring a physical object.
In the books Avada Kedavra is presumably the most difficult offensive spell (with a known incantation) to cast and is rarely even used by Death Eaters. Only Voldemort is described casting it successfully (meaning it connects with the intended victim and they die) more than once ''onscreen". It is the only spell described as a jet of green light (no other light-emitting spell is stated to be green). If the jet hits the victim they die instantly with no visible sign of bodily damage. It cannot be blocked by a defensive spell, but it will fail if the jet of light hits an object (instead of connecting with a living person) or the jet of light is dodged. (Dumbledore utilizes both of these strategies while fighting Voldemort in the Ministry atrium). Even Voldemort doesn't seem to cast it non-verbally (without saying the incantation aloud first) so non-verbal casting may not even be possible (which would improve your chances of dodging in time). In the films Avada Kedavra has very different and inconsistently applied rules (as do many other spells in the films). Death Eaters regularly fire off jets of green light in rapid succession and non-verbally. They are parried many times by defensive spells, or the intended victim fires a spell back at the same time and the wands connect (wands are shown connecting several times in the films; in the books this only ever happens between Harry and Voldemort due to the relationship between their wands). Victims are inconsistently shown crying out in pain before dying, wincing for several seconds before dying, or even dissolving into ash. :P
Well, it isn't completely unblockable; the movies just don't do it justice. They aren't blockable by spell shields, but physical objects stop them just fine. Dumbledore basically dominates Voldemort in their duel in the ministry because of his creative use of charms while Voldemort is using a one-dimensional killing curse that just keeps getting intercepted by animated statues. That right there, really, is the downfall of the killing curse. It is just a spell that kills. Against an opponent that knows how to dodge or is creative enough to use magic like micro-managing statues, transfiguring the environment, or conjuring huge barriers, the killing curse is really a lack-luster spell. It doesn't ruin the story; the movies just don't take the time to show its downfalls like the books do.
Avada Kedavra is not used by everyone. It is explained that in order to use the Unforgivable curses, you really have to mean it. You have to truly want to kill and enjoy the act of taking a life in order to perform it successfully. Hence why they're called that way. The gang is distinguished from the Death Eaters and Voldemort by not having the same darkness and not seeking it. In Order of the Phoenix, when Harry goes after Bellatrix after she has killed Sirius, he tries to use the Cruciatus curse to torture her and is egged on by Voldemort to 'truly mean it', but he never goes through with it.
For spells like Avada Cadavra & Crucio, you really have to mean it, so you generally need a pretty dark heart. Remember when Harry couldn’t use the crucio on Bellatrix in the last movie? So the death spell is only for very angry, or accomplished wizards to use.
13:00 They don’t use Avada Kedavra because their intention is never to kill, mainly disarm. It is an extremely dark spell that could easily turn a witch or wizard evil. (It’s basically Voldemort’s spell)
2 things I can explain without going in divulging things from the next movie. 1 Half blood prince because Snape's mother last name was Prince 2- Draco was assigned to kill Dumbledore as punishment by Voldemort (cause Lucius had failed to retrieve the prophecy)
Wow! So glad you like the reactions. More importantly, you don't take the criticism personally...because I don't mean it that way. Just trying to do something different than other reactors, I guess. Peace!
There is a reason they do not throw around curses like 'Avada Kedavra' around.. As Mad-Eye, aka Barty Crouch Jr, said during his class in The Goblet Of Fire: Using the Killing Curse or others in the 'Unforgivable' category will earn you a 1 way ticket to Azkaban
Why they don't use killing cruse ? All the time... because some spell it hard to cast, and required thought like expecto pratonum required happy thought or wingadium ravioza required hand swing movement
When using avada kedavra, you have to truly mean it. You have to imagine the other person die and truly truly mean for it to happen. Thats the case with all unforgivable curses. In the 5th movie harry used crucio on bellatrix after sirius died. But because he wasnt able to do it correctly bellatrix simply fell over
Avada Kedavra isn't easy to cast. you must be powerful in order to do so. You also have to really want to commit murdering knowingly (usually fueled by hate, kind of like a Patronus is fueled by happy memories). and last it does damage to your soul. For example, how its explained in book, let say someone really wanted to kill but are not strong enough, they can cast it but the spell would probably just feel like wind or give the person it was aimed at a bloody nose at most. Also, in this movie its explained killing splits your soul, so using the killing curse will do direct damage to your soul, so you have to be willing to pay that cost as well. Also it can be blocked when they say Harry was the only one to survive it they mean the only person who was hit with it but didn’t die.
Avada Kedavra is a very powerfull spell. Not everyone can use it or use it well. To work you really must want to kill. And even if you do you can simply miss the target.
I don't think i ever wore shoes in bed but for some reason i can 100% relate to the feeling of when the blanket catches on the rubber :D edit: reading this again makes it sound weird but thats not what i meant lol
Avada Kedavra is EXTREMELY difficult to perform and the person casting it must truly want to murder that person. Otherwise, it will do nothing. No one is just able to say it at any time. You need to genuinely, really, want that person dead, right there, by your hands. That is why it is rare.
Yes, and also sometimes the death eaters just opt for something quicker and less permanent. They don't always want to kill. Except Bellatrix, she's barking mad. The death eaters also have been ordered by Voldy not to kill Harry as he wants to do it himself. They can kill anyone also though. And for regular people, well Avada Kedavra is not only permanent, it's illegal. You get a life sentence in Azkaban for it.

Ron is not dumb, he is actually street smart.

He makes Ron seem pointless and makes Hermione perfect by taking away all her flaws. Ron also gave Harry and Hermione a lot of information about the wizarding world since he lived there all his life and Harry and Hermione didn't, but Steve Kloves also gave those lines to Hermione even though she lived in the muggle world.

@@lucysmith6530 ye because to her he is because in the books in this year Draco talks to her a lot & cries to her as well & talks to her about how he feels she was one of his only friends so myrtle actually liked Draco she considered him a friend
She has a crush on Draco in the book
To answer ur question not everyone can perform the killings curse cause u have to be a powerful wizard and have enough hate to mean it in order to achieve the effectiveness of it. Bellatrix killed black cause he was her family and she hated him/ she is powerful. And the good guys don’t use it cause they don’t want to go to Azkaban prison due to it being an unforgivable spell.
That makes a lot of sense, but I still feel like it isn't enough of a good reason to justify its existence. I think Rowling should have made it more harmful to the caster, so as to make it a huge risk for those choosing to use it. It's like giving Hitler the nuclear bomb and the allies are still using bolt-action rifles.
@@HelloNewman There is a "cost" to killing in the magical world. It will be explained soon.
@@cmac3530 is it explained in the movies? cuz i dont remember that i noticed that
@@branislavmlynka5357 I think he refers to the fact that the soul splits. I only say this otherwise I do spoilers
@@HelloNewman Magic is not like shooting bullets. The spells coming out of the wand is basically an expression of the wizard's emotions, not like ammunition stored inside shooting out. It is very difficult to do even simple spells, it requires focus, concentration, practice and the fact that the person "means to do it". This is explained again and again in Hogwarts when they learn to do spells in class or for homework or DA or something. For example, you can imagine a wizard just repeating "Avada Kedavra" over and over again and pointing his wand around and his wand basically acting like Rambo's machine gun. But that can never happen because even to do it once is difficult, the ones after it , as Moody/Crouch explains in the 4th book, "wouldn't even give me a nosebleed".
I am always surprised to see potterheads tear this one apart for its book adaptation. I think its one of the better films in the entire series.
The problem for me is the memories/horcruxes. We do not understand anything about Voldemort and what the Horcruxes are. To me the memory chapters are my favorite chapters in any of the 7 books. To have them almost completely gone and the little we get be so destroyed is just depressing.
I think Harry's and Ginny's relationship is what infuriates people the most
This movie lacks everything, the Memories, the ministry, the tru tension, the final battle in Hogwarts, the romance of H and G, dumbledore funeral. Even the scenes that are in th movie are really bad in comparisson with the book.
Its Just terrible
@@igorthadeu6094 Yeah but all of the movies are missing big things and aren't consistent with the books. Look at how everyone has mastered broomless flight and how every duel ends with priori incantatem. I believe that despite the omissions in HBP, the flow of the movie is still better than other HP movies.
@@ryder3112 Agree, those are also my favorite chapters in the Harry Potter series. They cut too many of the memories, and added too much of the romance, and they didn’t even do it in a good way, the romances (especially Ginny and Harry) are so awkward in this film
The killing curse is blockable, just not with magic. If you can get a physical item between you and the curse then the curse cancels upon hitting it. In the books, Dumbledore uses this several times when fighting Voldemort at the ministry. Voldemort was throwing it out like candy and Dumbledore was bringing statues to life or summoning parts of the destroyed walls and fountain to block the spells.
Well...that's interesting...
its been over a decade, but everytime i watch the series i am still astonished how much they destroyed Ginny as a character not to mention her relationship with Harry.
Yeah Ginny is the one the directors hate. Destroying such a strong, independent character is the worst thing
And just because someone (I think it was the script writer) wanted Harry to end up with Hermione💔
@@susyperez8445 people feel like Harry should be with Hermione because Daniel and Emma have a better chemistry.
jojo * People feel that way just because how the script was writen, puting Ginny aside for 5 movies, that’s why her and Harry seem to have cero chemistry and then suddenly trying to make them fall in love without Ginny’s backstory with her love to Harry in the past years.
The script writer made Hermione a better character (I mean, I love her), but he left behind many characters (Neville, Dobby, Ginny) to put Hermione on the spot light and in more scenes with Harry.
He had Harry and Ginny’s full development in the books, but he ruined it because he wanted Harry to be with Hermione💔
Ginny in the books is much better.
Loved this. Did you understand that Snape knew how to heal Draco bc Harry used a spell from his book? Same with how Harry knew how to heal Ron it’s bc he read how to in Snape’s book.
I love this movie I just wish we saw more of the strong popular Ginny she is in the book, I wish I could say things they left out but I don’t want to spoil anything in case you want to read the books.
Also, after you finish the movies you should take a test so you can know which house are you and know the real difference between the houses. The new professor, Slughorn, is a slytherin. Lockhart (movie 2 professor) is a Ravenclaw. Cedric (RIP) is a Hufflepuff and Peter (the rat) is a Gryffindor so the house doesn’t really define who you are.
Waiting for p3 💘
Killing curse is unforgivable and the most forbidden spell. Knowing you've seen the whole movie already ill go into it here so
When one kills their soul is split. Only people with darkness in their hearts and the motivation can use the killing curse.
Moody (Barty Crouch) said that you could use the killing curse on him but he'd probably get no more than a nosebleed
Doesn't explain why Voldemort doesn't use it on Dumbledore when he has the chance.
@@boristurovskiy351 Dumbledore is far more skilled and powerful than Voldemort. Tom tries many times but Dumbledore deflects them. Tom wants to prove he's better.
@@alanplays2881 Except that isn't how the killing curse is described, as an unblockable insta-death spell. Now, if spells work like shown in the movies, as 'something' being hurled around, one can probably dodge, or use cover; that still doesn't explain why Voldemort in his duel with Dumbledore doesn't do an Avada Kedavra spam instead of the very much blockable/counterable curses he uses.
@@boristurovskiy351 The only reason I can see Dumbledore being able to is his wand. Everyone else has to dodge or hide behind an object. Not everything always makes sense but Rowling has her reasons for why he didn't. My guess is its because Tom still has some form of honor and wanted to prove he was the far superior wizard while dueling Dumbledore, who is thought to be one of the greatest wizards of his time.
@@alanplays2881 Yeah you might be right considering that even when he had every chance to kill Harry in Goblet of Fire, he didn’t because he wanted to “preserve the niceties” of dueling.”
0:50 Hermione's describe as a nerd but she's also Harry Potter's friend which makes her quite popular plus she's quite cute
To be honest, compared to so many other franchises, the Harry Potter movies are surprisingly really well adapted from the books. They're not perfect, of course, but as adaptations go, they are really good.
I am really having fun watching your reactions to this one. You're laughter is contagious and its refreshing how your coming around to characters like Luna which we readers and watchers loved from the start. Still I like your comments and reactions. I'm glad you're getting so into another one.

Killing curse(avada kedavra) is forbidden and difficult to perform. Only if you TRULY want to kill someone you will be able to do it. Also while you can`t block it with your wand, you can throw objects at it to block it or you can dodge it. In Order of phoenix at the Dumbledore vs Voldemort duel in the books Voldemort casted Avada kedavra several times but Dumbledore blocked it with throwing statues at it every time.
Newman my man, I have thoroughly enjoyed these reactions. Leggo bro!
Waiting for the last part is painful... I wanna knooooow
Can't wait for last part
When is part 3 I can’t wait lol
Half Blood Prince is my fave movie and book. You can expect teenagers to be ruled by hormones so its just normal. The intrigue is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat.
According to Prof Moody (aka Barty Crouch Jr) in GoF book: "You students could all say Avada Kedavra at me and all I'd get is a nosebleed. You have to mean it."
"Fart rocket" is my new favorite phrase. Thank you for that!
I watched this wondering what he would say
I started part 1 right as part 2 came out, not knowing there would be 3!! I'm so excited; this has been the best HP-related content I've seen in a long time! Keep up the good work! 👍
Sposedly in the book explains 3 things.
1. that curses like Avrakadavra are very difficult to do, if you have not practiced.
2. You must really WANT that person is dead.
3. Using some of the curses, gradually ruins your mind, makes you more insensitive.
- For that reason in the 5th movie, Harry used the torture curse on Bellatrix. Bellatrix just fell to the ground, and began to laugh, the curse didn't have much efect in her.
12:54 It is explained in the books that every time someone uses the Avada Kedavra spell, a part of their soul is ripped apart. They touch a little on this in the movie when young Tom asks Slughorn about the Horcruxes, but not enough to understand why it is the ultimate Forbidden Curse.
I know I'm a year late on this but your take on things, and the way you present your opinion, prevents me from doing reaction videos myself because you're are just so good at what you do. I have subbed despite my hatred of this lol
LOL!!! Thanks?
One example for why this is my least favourite Harry Potter movie, is that Burrow scene. They burned it down, adding nothing to the story, and adding a scene that wasn't in the books. The Burrow even comes back in the 7th movie if i'm not mistaking. They just added it, because they wanted some action in all that boring, exaggerated drama. Yes there was teen drama in the book, but it wasn't too much, and it was done well. In the movie it dominates the film and is very badly done
Edit: It also adds a huge plot hole. In the books you can't just come there, there are protective spells stopping you. But if they could just come there in the movie, why did Voldemort not just show up and kill Harry?
Agreed. It’s my least favorite movie as well
I was always surprised that Remus never reacts to Greyback (the weird tall guy with Bellatrix) being there. Greyback is the werewolf that bit Remus as a child.
Slughorn buzzing, spilling beer on Hermione, and saying all hands on deck Granger... is the highlight of the entire series.
Avada Kedavra is considered very difficult to cast both physically and mentally. Intention and desire to kill (passion) must be there as well. As a music analogy, think of it like trying to play a complicated chord vs. hitting an open string. In the middle of battle it sometimes is easier to just fling out easy spells. The movies DO NOT do a good job of showing or explaining that.
The main issue I see... is that a gun would probably be better than using magic to fight and exists in their universe... Harry potter and the ar-15.
Hi! sorry I know I'm 9 months late, but using muggle weapons would mostly be pointless because unless the person was killed instantly, most muggle injuries can be healed easily with magic
Avada Kedavra is an extremely difficult spell. When Moody(BCjr) is theaching them about unforgivable curses, he says that he would be confident that everyboby in the class could use that spell agaislnst him and that he wouldnt even get so much as a nose bleed.
I am so curious to see how he reacts to the end of the movie, can't wait for the last part
12:38. Here's my take on it: In Order of the Phoenix Tom says to Harry it's not enough to know the spell you have to want it; and that is why everyone doesn't Crucio all the time. Same with the killing curse, like its not enough to just be angry, or to want to kill someone even, you have to want to murder them in cold blood to make the spell work. All spells basically work this way, which makes it super interesting that all spell success' and failures are essentially rorschach test.
lookin forward to part 3
*starts video*
"he is just a total fart rocket"
😂😂
Not everyone can use the Avarda Kadarva killing curse spell because in order for you to produce the curse you need to truly want the other person dead with no remorse, the same goes for the crusio curse (torture curse) you really want to see the other person in pain and suffering that’s why in the last movie when Harry hit Bellatrix with the crusio curse she only got struck down because Harry didn’t truly mean it that’s why Voldemort was egging him on to mean it
Rob Knox, the actor who portrayed Marcus Belby (the fat guy in the dinner of The Slug Club) died at the age of 18 after he was stabbed outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup, South East London, on 24 May 2008. He had intervened in a fight to protect his 17-year-old brother Jamie, who was being threatened by two men, one of whom was armed with two knives.
I think something people dont talk about enough is how funny JK Rowling's writing in the books are. This movie does the best job at showing that on film
That awkward mince pie scene between Harry and Ginny is what I’ll see in hell. It’s so bad

Love your reactions, this is like my third time watching this same video of yours!
I've always thought of the killing curse conundrum in HP like this: Avada Kedavra is not only really difficult to cast, but requires a lot of magical "energy," not to mention it has to be verbalized, so the casting of it is less efficient than other spells which can be quicker, non-verbal, and just as deadly. Voldemort uses it all the time because he has exceptional stamina, and he's so filled with rage he has no problem casting it.
Moaning Myrtle should have been in the bathrrom scene . She was in the books
She was?! LOL! Honestly, though, it would have detracted from the scene in the movie which was like a mini Jason Borne scene, so I see why they took her out.
@@HelloNewman yeah she had some kind of relationship with Draco and she kept yelling and screaming when they dueled
@@Vicious97 he literally had conversations with her in the book. Which honestly could have been shown somewhere amongst the scenes flipping back and forth to his arc.
It was hilarious, the way you laughed when Snape said: "Astonishing, your gift, Potter. The gifts us mere mortals can only dream of possessing. How grand it must be to be the chosen one." 😂
when will you release part 3? Hugs from Brazil!
Omg u watched the prestige too. That was the exact thought of me when I watched the scene of Malfoy.
"Why doesn't everybody use Avada Kedavra all the time?" - precisely the question that had been bugging me. Now, it does require a certain power level - I don't remember whether it has been spelled out in the movie, but in the book when fakeMoody shows the class the spell he says something like 'You could all point your wands at me and say the incantation and I wouldn't even get a nosebleed'. And we know why it doesn't work when Voldemort uses it on Harry. But the whole fireworks between Voldemort and Dumbledore in the fifth movie (for all the awesomeness of the scene) seem to be quite pointless, because why bother with flaming serpents and flying glass shards when you could just end it on the spot?
Exactly! People are saying that it requires true murderous intent to cast, but I'm pretty sure I could muster that up for old Voldy.
Voldemort did use Avada Kedavra in the fight, in the movie and the books. Dumbledore found ways to block it. And its specifically stated in the books that dumbledore isnt trying to kill him in this fight, merely drive him off/ protect harry
In the books voldemort did use avada kedavra but dumbledore blocked it by throwing statues at it.
Funny thing in this scene. When Malfoy and Harry battles youre happy Mouning Murtle is not in the scene, but in the book she is xD They cut her out of the movie here. In the book Malfoy confides to her because he has no one else to talk to about his task.
I wanna see part 3 so bad lol
People don't use the killing curse because:
1. It requires a certain amount of power and skill
2. You need to really hate and want to kill the person, otherwise its effects would only cause minor injury
3. It is one of the unforgivable curses, so you would be sent to Azkaban as soon as you used it on a person.
Spoiler!
4. It would split your soul into pieces, like Voldermort's, and create horcruxes, making you no longer human and looking pale and ghostly, like voldermort, if you did it too many times.
I know it's three weeks late, but I'll answer this anyway: The movies never explain, but in the books, it's stated that if a wizard kills someone else, their soul is torn apart, as Slughorn explained in the memories, but he didn't go into depth. Unless it's in self-defense or killing as an act of mercy, the killer's soul becomes damaged, and once they die, their soul will be condemned to damnation in the afterlife. Just because the Death Eaters are attacking, doesn't mean the good guys can start killing them in cold blood.
Give Me Part Three Or Give Me Death
Uh oh. I have bad news... JK! I'm just waiting for UA-cam's algorithm to green-light it.
When you asked about this Avada Kedavra spell and why they don't use it. It made me think about the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort in fifth book and movie. In the book Voldemort uses this spell right away at Dumbledore, trying to kill him but the phoenix that Dumbledore has eats he spell and of course dies and returns, then he uses it more times and in one case Dumbledore conjures real life metal shield. That was, in the book, I think a way to show how powerful and fast is Dumbledore with his magic because anybody else would have died at that point.
The movies left out a lot of Voldemort's backstory and motivations, but I guess you probably figured it out due to the running pattern
The ‘Slug Club’ reminds me of some college professors back when I went to college in the 80’s..
Edit: They aren’t so uptight about the use of alcohol in Britain. 16 to 18 (which is the legal age) is generally considered an appropriate age to drink, so one small glass of aperitif wouldn’t be thought amiss.
I’m so shocked you are loving this one hahahaha
Im 33 and 2020 had me watching reactions like crazy too. Loving yours and the cynicism but appreciation of it lol. Hope you do more. Game of Thrones? Mandalorian? Breaking Bad? Ozark? Watchmen (The Show), A selection from Mad Men? Black Mirror? Well met friend peace
The avada Kedavra is a dark spell. Like the other two you need to wish the person pain/enslavement/death from the deepest of your soul, harry didn't manage to cast one at Bellatrix in the ministry. They also earn you prison for life. And more importantly killing (intentionaly) tears the soul and make you less and less of a human.
The simple explanation to why everyone doesn't throw around the three unforgivable curses is because they'd end up in Azkaban. But just like a patronus charm it requires intent. Harry couldn't project one strong enough at first bc he couldn't focus on a memory happy enough to maintain it but then when Sirius invited him to live with him that was the happy feeling he used to power the spell when they went back in time.
The unforgivable curses are the same. As shitty as the death eaters are Harry's intent is never to take a life which is why it would be pointless to use it. He'd have to REALLY and I mean REALLY want them dead. That's why he was able to use the cruciatus curse on Bellatrix right after she killed Sirius, the kid was literally enraged and wanted to cause her pain but then he snapped out of it.
A lot of people do feel this is a bad adaptation I suppose. I think it’s because this book is such a wonderful book and there’s so much they had to cut to make the film. Personally, I like this movie a lot even though it’s my favorite of the books and I wish they would have turned it into two films to fit more content.
Why is it when something happens it is always you three. My favourite quote 🤣
The last 3 movies although changed or missed much of the books story managed , like you pointed out, to keep in the spirit of the story more intact and the director did a good job at showing who these people are and their true characters. It is one of the best movies when it comes to acting, the movie score is again really good and in pace with the story and the intrigue is intense in this one. We also see a change in Malfoy which by itself is very interesting because we do not know where it leads but can begin to grasp.
One thing that made me sad about it, well two things, the story does have Dumbledore picking up Harry at his aunt and uncle house and telling them off about the way they abused Harry and bullied him, which is rather satisfying. At last an adult calls them off for being a pair of abusers.
The second thing was that in Dumbledore's memories Harry, and us, learn a lot more about Voldemort's past and his family .
He is indeed the last descended of Salazar Slytherin, but his family was so bigoted towards muggles and even other pureblood families that they ended up marrying only cousins, they wanted to keep their blood the most pure possible and also retaining Slytherin's unique traits, one of them Parseltongue, speaking with snakes, so we see a memory of his grandfather, uncle and mother, all three on the verge of insanity.
His grandfather , Marvolo Gaunt, was a very proud of his heritage man and a very violent man, his uncle was insane, cruel ( and only spoke Parseltongue) and his mum nothing but a pathetic figure who was abused and her skills with magic were very poor. They were extremely poor, living on a shack near Tom Riddle's family property hated and despised by everyone.
His mother, Merope Gaunt was inlove with Tom Riddle but she was not only poor, but also ugly and shabby, Riddle makes fun of her. The two male Gaunts attack a ministry man and end up arrested in Azkaban leaving poor Merope at last free of her awful violent and dominating father and her deranged brother, she manages to give a love potion to Tom Riddle, They elope, get married and she gets pregnant, with time ,believing that Tom loves her she stops giving him the love potion and is devastated when he abandons her after the effect of the potion passes, destitute and broken hearted she gives birth to a boy and after naming him Tom Marvolo Riddle she dies, because she does not wish to go on living without her husband.
They had two heirlooms from Slyterin himself, a ring and a locket, that Merope takes with her whe she elopes . Needing money she sells the locket at the store owner that we see at the start of the movie, he gives her almost nothing for it. Later in another memory we see Tom after leaving Hogwarts working at that same store, and the locket being bought by a rich old witch, who later on is found dead and the locket gone.
This sounds random but it is important, because it explains a lot of what made Tom Riddle become Lord Voldemort, why he killed his father and despised his mother and also the parallels with love sick kids giving love potions to one another ;)
12:55 That's the weapon arguement that most US Americans won't get... The rest of the world just doesn't think like that about weapons and the usage of them...
lol good one xD
For the unforgivable spells.. you have to mean it. Harry tried using the torture curse against Bellatrix in the ministry battle. Voldy told him you have to mean it. Further, it can be blocked by conjuring a physical object.
It was actually bellatrix who told Harry you have to mean them.
In the books Avada Kedavra is presumably the most difficult offensive spell (with a known incantation) to cast and is rarely even used by Death Eaters. Only Voldemort is described casting it successfully (meaning it connects with the intended victim and they die) more than once ''onscreen".
It is the only spell described as a jet of green light (no other light-emitting spell is stated to be green). If the jet hits the victim they die instantly with no visible sign of bodily damage.
It cannot be blocked by a defensive spell, but it will fail if the jet of light hits an object (instead of connecting with a living person) or the jet of light is dodged. (Dumbledore utilizes both of these strategies while fighting Voldemort in the Ministry atrium).
Even Voldemort doesn't seem to cast it non-verbally (without saying the incantation aloud first) so non-verbal casting may not even be possible (which would improve your chances of dodging in time).
In the films Avada Kedavra has very different and inconsistently applied rules (as do many other spells in the films).
Death Eaters regularly fire off jets of green light in rapid succession and non-verbally.
They are parried many times by defensive spells, or the intended victim fires a spell back at the same time and the wands connect (wands are shown connecting several times in the films; in the books this only ever happens between Harry and Voldemort due to the relationship between their wands).
Victims are inconsistently shown crying out in pain before dying, wincing for several seconds before dying, or even dissolving into ash. :P
Well, it isn't completely unblockable; the movies just don't do it justice. They aren't blockable by spell shields, but physical objects stop them just fine. Dumbledore basically dominates Voldemort in their duel in the ministry because of his creative use of charms while Voldemort is using a one-dimensional killing curse that just keeps getting intercepted by animated statues. That right there, really, is the downfall of the killing curse. It is just a spell that kills. Against an opponent that knows how to dodge or is creative enough to use magic like micro-managing statues, transfiguring the environment, or conjuring huge barriers, the killing curse is really a lack-luster spell. It doesn't ruin the story; the movies just don't take the time to show its downfalls like the books do.
Best explanation I’ve heard thus far.
Avada Kedavra is not used by everyone. It is explained that in order to use the Unforgivable curses, you really have to mean it. You have to truly want to kill and enjoy the act of taking a life in order to perform it successfully. Hence why they're called that way. The gang is distinguished from the Death Eaters and Voldemort by not having the same darkness and not seeking it. In Order of the Phoenix, when Harry goes after Bellatrix after she has killed Sirius, he tries to use the Cruciatus curse to torture her and is egged on by Voldemort to 'truly mean it', but he never goes through with it.
For spells like Avada Cadavra & Crucio, you really have to mean it, so you generally need a pretty dark heart. Remember when Harry couldn’t use the crucio on Bellatrix in the last movie? So the death spell is only for very angry, or accomplished wizards to use.
13:00 They don’t use Avada Kedavra because their intention is never to kill, mainly disarm. It is an extremely dark spell that could easily turn a witch or wizard evil. (It’s basically Voldemort’s spell)
2 things I can explain without going in divulging things from the next movie. 1 Half blood prince because Snape's mother last name was Prince 2- Draco was assigned to kill Dumbledore as punishment by Voldemort (cause Lucius had failed to retrieve the prophecy)
I love Snape
I'm a die hard fan of Harry Potter... But I like the way you criticize the films. You speak to the point.
Wow! So glad you like the reactions. More importantly, you don't take the criticism personally...because I don't mean it that way. Just trying to do something different than other reactors, I guess. Peace!
It makes sense why Snape would be able to reverse the curse that Harry does to Malloy since he invented the spell.
Vulnera sanetur is basically an anti curse of sectumsempra, which is a curse itself.
@@mcdonnas377 Cool. I never knew that.
It's great to listen to some criticism, many just want to please their viewers
Really enjoyed it Sir. Really good reactions.
The time when Harry realized his best friend's sister has grown up. Yeah Harry is also not very subtle.
There is a reason they do not throw around curses like 'Avada Kedavra' around.. As Mad-Eye, aka Barty Crouch Jr, said during his class in The Goblet Of Fire: Using the Killing Curse or others in the 'Unforgivable' category will earn you a 1 way ticket to Azkaban
Slugworm?!!?! Hahahahaha! That's hilarious.
I'm wondering what are your thoughts on the tower scene.. Please feed us the 3ed part soon😂
Lmao, I love those Emperor references, especially @ 2:00
11:40 When you pull out the food, I can't help but think back to "WILL. YOU. STOP. EATING?" from Hermione ahaha, sorry
Hmm just realized Romilda Vane (Anna Shaffer) plays Triss Merigold in the Witcher 7:22
Why they don't use killing cruse ? All the time... because some spell it hard to cast, and required thought like expecto pratonum required happy thought or wingadium ravioza required hand swing movement
"Why is is when something happens, it is always you three?"
We all think it, she asks it.
When using avada kedavra, you have to truly mean it. You have to imagine the other person die and truly truly mean for it to happen. Thats the case with all unforgivable curses. In the 5th movie harry used crucio on bellatrix after sirius died. But because he wasnt able to do it correctly bellatrix simply fell over
Avada Kedavra isn't easy to cast. you must be powerful in order to do so. You also have to really want to commit murdering knowingly (usually fueled by hate, kind of like a Patronus is fueled by happy memories). and last it does damage to your soul. For example, how its explained in book, let say someone really wanted to kill but are not strong enough, they can cast it but the spell would probably just feel like wind or give the person it was aimed at a bloody nose at most. Also, in this movie its explained killing splits your soul, so using the killing curse will do direct damage to your soul, so you have to be willing to pay that cost as well. Also it can be blocked when they say Harry was the only one to survive it they mean the only person who was hit with it but didn’t die.
Avada Kedavra is a very powerfull spell. Not everyone can use it or use it well. To work you really must want to kill. And even if you do you can simply miss the target.
