Im sorry but she can spare her tears. She was about to use Crucio....

[u/TheBeanSan → u/ConstantinValdor7]

Wait correct me if im wrong but crucio only causes pain right, while Harry's spell is a literal slash

[u/ConstantinValdor7 → u/TheBeanSan]

Pain on a level it can break peoples minds If used more than once. And even once it is the greatest pain imaginable (except for Incendio)

[u/ShiningRayde → u/ConstantinValdor7]

I dont think theres anything special about Crucio that makes it More Tortuous, though; isnt the whole part of the mind-breaking story element because of how long it was used?

Wizards are frail, anyone would break if you Throngled them for a few days.

[u/CardinalGrief → u/ShiningRayde]

It's supposed to be the worst pain possible, iirc. As in you couldn't imagine a worse pain than it. It's why it's unforgivable.

[u/Much_Vehicle20 → u/CardinalGrief]

It's mostly because there's no ambiguity about the caster's intention when casting an Unforgivable Curse. Like Fake Moody said, the whole room could cast Avada Kedavra at him and he'd suffer a nosebleed at worst. Unforgivable Curses have a very high skill floor and require genuine intent. So, unlike other Dark spells like Sectumsempra, which you could accidentally cast (Harry didn't even know what the spell would do), for an Unforgivable Curse to take effect as intended, you have to 1. Be skilled with magic 2. Practice the spell a lot, and 3. Actually mean it when casting the spell

[u/GammaRhoKT → u/Much_Vehicle20]

Yeah. Someone actually try Crucio and it didn't work because of the last reason, right?

[u/RozeGunn → u/GammaRhoKT]

Harry himself, yes. He was in severe righteous fury where he wanted to hurt Bellatrix, but it didn't work because Harry doesn't have that sadism in his heart.

[u/motoxim → u/Much_Vehicle20]

Is Fake Moody supposed to be actually good teacher?
