AVADA KEDAVRA!

>>717813594 (OP)
For me, it's telekinetically slamming goblins into concrete.

>>717813594 (OP)
having a Slytherin protag is so kino.
The best defense against the dark arts is the dark arts

Why wouldn't wizards just use avada kedavra everytime?

>>717813759
Because it's a no no spell. Use this instead.

>>717813759
Easily tracked by the gov'mint

>>717813759
They believe in souls

>>717813759
because it's unsportmanly.
Imagine a high ranking arch wizard from a pure lineage getting 1-hit KO'd because someone taught a muggle with barely enough magic capacity the death spell

>>717813594 (OP)
Just casually throwing out unforgiveable curses, nbd

>>717813759
It's intent. You genuinely hate the person with every fiber in your being and want them dead now. That type of hatred doesn't come easily

>>717813692
>friendly wizard duel among highschoolers
>CRUCIO!!!
how hogwarts wasn't shut down because of this scandal is beyond me

>>717814036
It was the 1890s

>>717813759
Cutting, crushing, burning, and smashing people is more humane.

>>717814019
the killing curse just needs a person to die, no hate needed
cruciatus needs seethe and how powerful it is depends on how much REEEEE you have to give

>>717813759
I think it rips a piece of your soul away. That's how Voldemort created his respawn thingamajigs.

>>717813594 (OP)
he said calmy, watching the disintegrating corpse of the teenage wizard collapsing in front of him. Dumbledor wasn't going to like this, but would certainly clean up after him just like before.

>>717814604
He was notoriously unhinged to begin with and had been even more unhinged since before the world cup when he got replaced

>>717814604

>"Avada Kedavra's a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it — you could all get your wands out and point them at me and say the words, and I doubt I'd get so much as a nosebleed."
"Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you, boy?" She yelled. "You need to mean them, Potter!"
>"No Unforgivable Curses from you, Potter! You haven't got the nerve or the ability"

>>717813594 (OP)
Why bother with magic when you can just get a gun?

>>717815034
yea, you have to want the person dead, but you don't have to hate them. Snape didn't hate Dumbledore

>>717813759
They don't have a loicense for it

>>717814714
Avada Cabinary!

>>717813759
It requires you to genuinely wholeheartedly hate someone from the blackest pits of your heart. Which is a level of hatred that despite /v/'s memeing, is nigh-impossible to generate naturally on the spur of the moment,

>>717813594 (OP)
harry potter must seem so weird to americans
how did it ever get so popular over there?

>>717815114
>spoiler
Snape is a spiteful fuck of a man with endless resentment for everyone around him to a degree or another. Even if he was never a true traitor, it would be very easy for him to redirect some of that endless seething towards Dumbledore for whatever the fuck he could gaslight himself into believing. The man was a professional hater up until he was actually dying.

>>717813594 (OP)
>spams Crucio on his way to class
This guy needs to be stopped

>>717815493
Putting aside that the new actor is black will anyone ever come remotely close to the pure petty spite kino that was Rickman's portrayal of Snape?

>>717815098
Imagine a gun which can kill as long as it hits someone (no matter what part of the body), leaves no injury and makes the victims look like they died of cardiac arrest. Add also the fact that most people are muggles and don't even know about magic.

>>717815438
what exactly do you expect to be weird about it? you think boarding schools dont exist in america?

>>717815430
Explain Snape and Dumbledore then, retard.

After I while the realized the combat is just Arkham with spells
They really need to ramp up the magic mechanics in the next installment

>>717816681
I'm not that anon but I like to think that deep down Snape never forgave Dumbledore for letting Lily die despite his help.

>>717816681
It's not about hate like those dumbasses insist, it's simply about conviction. Voldemort and his cronies can use it willy nilly since they are psychopaths with zero regards for life, but with Snape it was more of a mercy killing. He knew Dumbledore was already dying, and could not jeopardize their plans about Harry. Also stepping in to take Draco's place to protect his innocence as a student of Hogwarts and prevent him from becoming a criminal dark wizard is very thematic. Snape was the only character both rational and empathetic enough to pull off such a feat.

>>717815493
ATTENTION SHOPPERS - SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE

>>717813759
the first rule of wizard combat is looking cool

>>717813759
If spells take years to learn they just should have made it incredibly difficult to cast. Like, killing a person, instantly, with no physical harm should be almost impossible or be incredibly draining on the caster.

I mean all people say in-universe is "you have to feel it," so if I wanna kill some guy, I just point my gun/wand and pull the trigger/say the magic words while "wanting" to kill him. So then why did it take Harry months to learn a basic summoning charm, but he is able to use the Imperious curse perfectly on the first try? Unforgivable curses are OP as fuck, the barrier for entry is too low and anyone can seemingly use them, even children, proven by Crabbe and Goyle casting them in the last book. JK is a hack.

>>717815438
You’re looking at that from the outside in. Americans eat up anything with a made-up high school hierarchy and a chosen-one narrative wrapped in British aesthetics. It’s basically anime to them. Hogwarts might as well be Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters but with tea and robes. Plus, the media blitz was insane over here-books, movies, merch, theme parks. Harry Potter ended up less British and more globally franchised Disney-tier comfort food by the end.

I went back and played it recently but my game kept crashing. It made me sad.

Rickmann wasn't even allowed to be half the cunt book Snape was. Remember that time Hermione had some spill on her face during his class and grew her front teeth fives times in size?
In the book Snape says he didn't see a difference and just let her run outside crying. Nigger Snape is gonna be trash but for different reasons

>>717813594 (OP)

>>717824129
Rickman himself didn't want to be a generic asshole, but only agreed to the role if they let him do it his own way.

this game should just have a dark wizard path
doesn't make sense for a fifth year to go around casting the nono curses without any reaction from the world

>>717815671
Absolutely not.

>>717829506
To be fair, the wizard police would probably come knocking if they detected that combination of casting, same as if you simply casted one simple torture/murder spell. I dont recall if they were tracking spells broadly, or if they were specifically tuned in to the unforgivable curses, but id assume the difference is like the difference between a video of you shooting someone, or a video of you pushing someone off a cliff.

>Get into a wizard duel with an American wizard
>He casts 'Accio Glock-19!'
Oh, but if I can't the killing curse, tHaT's ToO MuCh!

>>717813759
Flipendo is much more versatile in general.
Avada Kedavra is too slow

>>717814604
Because it wasn't Moody. It was Doctor Who

>>717813594 (OP)
>>717813809
It seems like with this level of power, over time deranged wizards must have committed a lot of abuses on non-magical people. If a wizard wanted to, he could commit rape pretty easily.

This was before the 'ministry' was spying on every wand under the guise of child safety

>>717813594 (OP)
>>717813809
did i make a mistake bailing on this after 4 hours? it just felt like a kids game, reminds me of playing the first assassins creed and exploring the map or the bully game.

>>717813759
In-universe it's because you have to have an intense desire to kill the person you are cursing. Barty Crouch Jr. eve said that if a room full of 4th year students all aimed at him at the same time and tried casting the spell, he'd probably only get a nosebleed.

>>717834086
M*ggles aren't people, Harry.
How many times do I have to repeat this to you?

>>717813594 (OP)
oh cool, you have GTA rampages in the game, gotta give it a shot

>>717817656
Honestly the three unforgiovables are probably the easiest due to how closely they correlate with human desires. Control, hurting, and killing are like baseline negative feelings that humans all feel some degree of at some point.

So why is Avada Kadavra considered so fucked up? Compared to other lethal spells it seems about as humane as it gets
>Guaranteed death
>Instakills the target
If you're gonna go it seems like the best way to go

>>717837072
Nothing is lethal in Wizard World as long as you're still breathing. Ron lost a chunk of his arm and all they need to do to heal him is drop some magic waters and it regenerates fully with all nerves intacts. Avada Kedavra is unforgivable because it fucking kills you.

>>717837072
It forces the person killed to be reincarnated in India.

>>717813594 (OP)
I'm surprised the Harry Potter fanbase didn't impale the writers of this game.

Imagine being given the chance to make a fanfic game and you fuck it up.

>>717837072
>>717829506
Avada Kedavra is considered an Unforgiveable Curse because there is no usage to it other than murder.
To use the spell you need a lot of magical power and very high intent to wish death upon someone. In the 4th book Moody (Barty Crouch Jr.) invites the entire classroom to draw their wands and use the curse against him and he says he doubts he'll get so much as a nosebleed, because they're weak and they're children who won't have murderous intent.

>What about spells that make you explode, cut you to pieces or freeze you?
If you use an exploding spell to blow someone's head off, you'll still get a lifetime in Azkaban for murder, it's just the the usage of the spell itself isn't against the law because there are other usages for it.
You can use an exploding spell to blow off some rocks blocking a road, you can use a freezing spell on a lane to ice skate on it for fun, you can use a fire spell to light a bonefire, etc.

The mere usage of Avada Kedavra guarantees a lifetime in Azkaban (even if you missed or the spell was block by something) because the only way to even use it is if you fully intended to commit murder. It has no utility of any kind.

>>717838259
>lane
*lake

>>717837072
as a wizard if you have the tiniest bit of life left in you they can drag you back from the grave kicking and screaming. Avada kadavra just kills you stone dead.

>>717838259
(((Killing intent)))
Was Rowling a weeb?

>>717829506
The thing with AK is you REALLY have to mean it and it literally rips your soul out. Its an instant death at the speed of light

>>717838589

>>717813759
they do though if they're willing to use darkarts, the death eaters almost exclusively use it in all their battles.

>there are fruitloops still upset that the main character correctly answers the wizard outlaw and goblin problem
You think HP isn't putting down the the scum when he takes his job as the equivalent of wizard task force enforcer?

>>717813759
>Why wouldn't people just use nukes everytime?
Because it is an extreme and unnecessary option.
Wizards have dozens of ways to incapacitate somebody without killing them. You can disarm them, you can stun them, you can petrify them all very easily.

Killing curses are only used by deranged psychopaths.

i read the half blood price this year
suddenly got a need to read hp again for the first time since i was a kid

>>717838259
It probably doesn't get touched on by the books, but it should be mentioned that Wizards are extremely valuable. They're an incredibly limited resource, outnumbered by the billions by Muggles. I think it's in their best interest that not a single Mage dies, and thus makes sense to ban the 1 killing spell that exists. They can do anything else to incapacitate someone, but it's an irreparable loss for a wizard to die. Both for their utility and their knowledge, they're always doing research and contributing in some way to something.

>>717840218
Why did they draw Harry Potter as Chudjak?

>>717840218
Why are krauts liek this

>>717841474
Even Voldemort didn't want to just kill everyone, he wanted the wizards to rule over muggles (well, pure-blood and maybe halves too).

>>717841689
You think that's bad?

>>717813759

At least they're accurate to Harry being portrayed by a jew in the films.

it's not very efficient in the game, but imperio seems to be even more broken in the books. Can't be detected with verita serum, Voldy took over the british ministry by pretty much using imperio

>>717827426
> no cool as fuck skeleton form
how would he fuck bellatrix then

God, imagine what hell our Wizard would get up to if they knew how to raise Inferi.

>>717842790
It is described as complete obedience. Imperio also doesn't light the room up like a fucking green lighthouse, it is very broken. Just hit someone with it and have them sodoku on the spot.

Voldemort sucks ass, he was just seething the entire time.The death eaters as an organization were much scarier than Voldemort.

>>717842753
Imagine being so seething over a fictional wizard boy that you have to bring up the actor's ethnicity like it personally insulted you. Cope harder, wizardcucker.

>>717842814
He wouldn't. And that's a good thing.

>>717843313
Because without voldemort they were actually competent and could plan things out.
Once Voldemort came back he gave them orders and not doing them meant death, meaning the retard wanted things done without a care for plans because he was strong enough to wrangle the world

>>717843369
>Kike seethes over an obvious joke

SO seething in fact that he misspells his sentence in his haste to get it out.
Damn, seething kike or retarded indian, it's 50/50 on the chances.

>>717843446
They also represent an idea that you can't kill. And everyone can be one, your teacher, your fellow student, your neighbor.

It's like having neo nazis everywhere but instead of low IQ retards it's highly dangerous wizards that are just waiting for the moment to kill you.

>>717838259
I get the point here, but what if a wizard wants to go hunting? Can you hit a deer with it?

>>717838730
>that dobby

>>717843746
>"BASED, LET ME GRAB MY SCARF, I WANT THEM TO KNOW IT WAS ME."

>>717813759
you need a true intent to kill, and its a difficult mindset to get into unless you're experienced or crazy.

no, you don't need to be teeming with hate, thats crucio. iirc its theorized that avada kedavra was originally designed as a spell of mercy as the death it inflicts is instant and painless

>>717813594 (OP)
I always hear high praise for Hogwarts for this game but every other aspect seems mediocre ubislop. Is it true?

>>717838730
sexo with Bellatrix

>>717843853
yes. Walking around/flying and looking for easter eggs is more fun than actually doing the sidequests. The game itself is peak slop

>>717843853
That's about right. The Combat is fun, Hogwarts looks great, the Story sucks, and everything else is mid.

>>717843853
the open world takes a lot of notes from ubi games yes. there's exactly two fighting styles. its an adequate spoon to be fed the admittedly excellent HP fanservice

>>717843853
It's ok, not the best game ever, but still entertaining for at least one playthrough.

>>717843156
doesn't work on strong-willed people tho. that makes it somewhat balanced.

>>717843746
That'd be sick.

>>717837072
it cracks the soul of the caster

>>717843313
death-eaters are pathetic
bellatrix is the only one who actually knew how to duel, the rest got owned by kids in fights

>>717843853
There's also no Quidditch, which sucks ass. I don't care how stupid the sport is, I want to play it so I can bully children.

>>717844242
So Mrs Weasly split her soul when she kills Bellatrix? Or does the fact that she did it to defend Ginny somehow make it less bad?

>>717844321
It's just a crack

>harry is always seen as a nerd by the audience
>he actually is a nepobaby jock
Where does the misconception come from? Literally just from the round glasses?

>>717844278
>the rest got owned by kids in fights
and Bellatrix got owned by a fucking housewife

>>717844321
she didn't use the killing curse

>>717844389
Are you sure you're not getting her mixed up with Harry when he kills Voldemort? I'm very sure she used the killing curse. She was angry.

>hates trannies

That and he stands up for people and is friends with the plebs.

Why don't more Harry Potter games have this?

>>717834086
Weren't the Weasleys selling date rape drugs in one of the books? And it was treated as a completely harmless juvenile prank. I also recall there's potions that can literally turn you into other people. Imagine the (sexual) shit you could get up to with that.

>>717844487
rowling always describes the killing curse as green, i think it was just some other curse but so powerful that bellatrix died on the spot

>>717843964
they actually added the squid from the books. It's for stuff like that that's worth playing the game.

>>717838730
Harry Potter Anime when?

>>717844654
Until only recently due to Rowling's one dimensional writing Slytherin have been basically cartoon villains. It's only in the last years that Slytherin receive some depth and being fleshed out with more morally grey characters.

>avada kedavra can be spammed casually by everyone
Always bothered me about this game.

>>717813759
The law says they can't.

>>717813759
Orginal reason was using dark arts rots your soul/affects user some way. But it was dropped for some reason.
It's kinda funny how law enforcement dosent use greatest peaceful spell possible. Mind control.

>>717844807
Rowling kinda walked back on it with the Cursed Child anyways where Harry's kid is a douchebag and Malfoy's kid is a wimp.

I always wondered if American Wizards were more encouraging of Enchanted Firearms. Granted, we don't see any in the first Fantastic Beasts movie.

>>717844791
There was one that was basically Harry Potter. I forget the name but it's the one where it turns out MC is there to murder the faculty for revenge or something.

They were "love potions" and were very much illegal to make or have. The Weasleys weren't even supposed to have the recipe.

>>717844948
she didn't write that book

All wizards in harry potter versus all mages in mage the ascension. Who wins?

>>717845046
Despite being illegal, they received almost no repercussions for them. It was literally a joke subplot. It wasn't until the later books and Newt films where it was actually played for horror and tragedy.

>>717843853
yep it's totally derivative ubislop. didn't make it very far at all in it, the notion that the game is about attending wizarding boarding school goes out the window pretty quickly once you start exploring outside of the school. a persona clone would be so much better for fulfilling the whole fantasy of attending wizard boarding school, but we're never going to get that.

That is actually missed plotpoint. Using horible magic to kill something turning its flesh to toxic or cursed. Then it can be used in alchemy or to poison/curse someone

Why did Dumbledore drink the cum? I hate this children writing that the good guys have to play the villain's rules.

Did Snape have a chance with Lily before he called her a mudblood

>>717844807
Yeah. If JK was smarter and less drunk. She would have seen how stupid it is for whole slytherin to go evil and turn against their school mates they lived with for 7 years at drop of hat.
There should have been split. More personal conflict. How some go bad becouse their whole family is team evil.
But some stay team good despite presure.
Also should have had few kids from other houses go team bad. Ravenclaw emo kid that is voldemor Stan going full school shooter and so on.
Cedric Diggory should have been bad guy who works for team voldemor becouse he is dark arts nerd would have rised stakes.

>>717813594 (OP)
I couldn't stop laughing when I was told that you could use the Killing Curse to drop a boss, but because he's programmed to try to do the same to you when his health is gone, he just straight-up tanks the Killing Curse and keeps on attacking. Hey Harry Potter, surviving an Avada Kedavra is no big deal, apparently.

>>717842370
the instant death spell isn't obliterating city blocks anon. the wizard cops should have a contingency for being able to use the spell when in life or death situations, just like how real cops can blow your head off with a gun if they're even a little bit afraid.

>>717846092

If this game wasn't so woke it could have been great. I've always wanted a hogwarts game but i'd like a hogwarts game with actual humans in it.

>>717834086
It's lore friendly that the wizards rape witches all the time, you just need to cast a memory forgetting spell. Maybe force feed a restoration potion first to heal her a little.

>>717814036
Why do you think Hogwarts is still up and running? Let's just say the teachers at the school run laps around Epstein.

>>717845069
Honestly kind of a tough call. Arch mages absolutely shit on master wizards but the wizards have a numbers advantage in that even their low-tier shmucks can cast decently powerful shit that low-tier mages can barely do without risk of Paradox. It'd be like a trained fighter with a tiny multitool knife fighting against a regular dude with a katana.

>>717846269
can't anyone use this argument about any fantasy ever?
>b-b-but why is there no spell that counters this spell?
because there isn't, that's the rule of the world. People seem to get extra autistic when criticizing hp

>>717846096
Would it been better if Snape was gay. And lily was his best friend and only one who knew? Rather then being megasimp.
You could weave whole backround of Dumbletor using his backround and relationship with muggle to make him double agent. Then when lily dies. He goes crazy and start to prepare for return of voldemor and rising next generation to fight him.
He is strict toward good guys to push them forward and to make them stronger. He is lax toward bad kids to make them weak and lazy. He goes full Whiplash toward harry to make him ready for what is coming.

>>717846092
They were out of time and options, and he was already going to die anyway. The ring cursing him showed how inpulsive Dumbledore really is in critical situations, his whole plan for what Harry needed to do was fucking nuts in general if you think about it.

>>717846292
Because you are a wizard and have other options to deal with the situation.
And if that explanation seems dumb just remember that it takes place in Engerland so it's actually good world building thoughbeit.

>>717846309
And witches rape wizards all the time.
Snape was 21 when he started to teach in hogwarts. You really think some upper class girls didn't try to rape him

>>717845586
Half-blood prince is the one that establishes Voldemort's mom using love potion for years to keep her muggle husband in love with her. Though only Dumbledore seemed to be aware that she used love potions as Voldemort thinks his dad abandoned her because he found out she's a witch.

>>717846418
Not really a tough call. What is all of Harry Potter going to do against a reality bending arch mage?

>>717846472
Are you saying that moment was good writing? Dumbledore had years to prepare and that was his plan? Why even get insecure about HP in general?

>>717844654
she looks like my Code Vein character

>>717834408
it was ok storywise but the game itself was too repetitive for me

>>717846886
Wasn't he already near death from a curse he got from a previous horcrux? He had nothing to lose at that point.

>>717846669
No that's not lore friendly, female spells are 20% of the power of male spells. The strongest witch can maybe measure up to 50% of the weakest wizard.
Additionally, wizards have nearly three times the natural defense against spells in their skin compared to witches.

>>717834408
I wish it was a kids game, it just openworld slop that "has to be openworld because openworld is popular". It just boring in every way, really felt like they had no idea what the fuck they wanted to do with it so they threw everything and did bare minimum to ship it. Voice actors are the only good thing, but dialogue animations just so ass...

>>717834086
Oh, the wizarding world of Harry Potter is very rapey.

>>717846886
>Are you saying that moment was good writing
Dumbledore does not know dark magic as much as voldy, that much is very clear in the books. Voldy is the greatest dark wizard of all time, even Dumbledore recognizes that. That cave was Voldemort's territory, the book established that the moment they entered the cave and Dumbledore had to 'pay' with his own blood. Dumbledore is not omnipotent.

>>717846975
yeah he was weeks from death

They could've easily made the Unforgivable Curses unusable by players but they didn't. I say kudos.

>>717838730
Are those two over James and Lily supposed to be Sirius and Remus?
Also
>that Beatriz Lestrange
GOD DAMN I LOVE EVIL WOMEN

>>717842004
Whose the weird nerd zombie in Goblet?

>>717847502
the issue is there's no consequences for doing so. you can avada kedevra something in front of a teacher and they won't do shit

in fact they use it themselves

>>717847502
You can already brutally kill your enemies so there is literally no point not having them. I guess praise needs to be given that this is a more adult oriented Harry Potter game to begin with.

>>717834086
that is literally how voldemort was born bro

>>717847553
Yea, Remus has some scars.

>>717847568
>kid steals my crayons
>fuckin loved those crayons
>blast him with Avada Kedvra
wizard world is a crazy place

>>717847618
Maybe you shouldn't be able to brutally kill your enemies?

>>717847854
Don't tell me, I didn't need these ubishit grunts in the game.

>>717813759
Because the IP was created by some DEI British cunt who couldn't come up with an explanation for anything beyond "it just is ok!!!"

>>717847563
I think that's supposed to be Krum.

>>717848073
Isn't krum the black haired guy standing with Fleur and Cedric? I'm talking about the weird pasty thing holding the name.

>>717847563
>>717848073
No wait, you meant the ghost with glasses? That's moaning Myrtle.

>>717848197
Why is she bald?

>>717838589
She was British.
Punishment for thoughtcrimes is a common thing for them.

would a hp anime be good? It needs the right kind of writer

>>717848178
Krum is supposed to be a fucking gigachad.

>>717841474
>Wizards are very low in number and extremely valuable
>Wizards who are born from non-wizards or half-blooded are traditionally frowned upon
>Wizards are not encouraged to marry non-wizards to increase number of wizards
Makes no sense until you remember that the setting in those books is basically just a projection of angloid caste system society.

>>717842004
What does "tammi" mean? Who are the two characters in the back in Chamber of Secrets, is that the diary? Are those in Goblet of Fire supposed to be Krum, Cedric, Fleur and Myrtle? Two Harry Potters in Order of the Poheonix plus Umbridge looking like a literal frog-monster and a girl with... something instead of ears? Also, who's the redhead in Half-Blood Prince, Ginny? Looks older

>>717842814
With his boner, duh

>>717842004
Cedric's face gave me a giggling session

>>717842004

This art style gives me a fight or flight reaction.

>>717848648
NTA but the second Harry is the Devination Teature that gets thrown out. No clue about the woman in HP but my immediate thought was Lily since she's the focus of the book.

I dunno about that one...

>>717848648
Tammi is the name of the publishing company, it also means "oak" in English.

>>717845069
better yet, Gandalf the gray vs Dumbledore. Who wins?

>The game's plot is that totally not jews forgot their place in tolerant, progressive British society, and the player must help them to remember by arranging a magical pogrom for them with a broad arsenal of brutal killing methods
It's very strange that this game isn't more popular here.

>>717849962
Gandalf is a divine entity, basically an angel.

>>717846297
Wasn't there a mod for that?

>>717849962
Gandalf can come back for another round after dying, let's see Dumbledore try that shit

>>717850093
Yeah but in his incarnation as the Grey he wasn't that powerful, though I think he has the ring of fire at that point?

>>717849962
Gandalf kind of a bitch though. he's a borderline godlike being who gets slapped around by the old iron king. I can beat that boss at SL1 with no issues

>dirty potter is basically dead
Sucks. I need chapter 4

>>717850093
i never read lotr but is he well portrayed in the movies? Because in the movies Gandalf's powers are very inconsistent

>>717838259
>he doubts he'll get so much as a nosebleed,

Is he saying this for effect or does the spell inflict damage based on hatred / intent to kill?

>>717850724
so if i cast avaka kadavra then all jews everywhere would die. interesting

>>717840218
That art style looks cursed. Save me, Satan!

>>717850724
>cast Avada Kedavra at teachers request
>he fucking explodes into a blood mist
>ohshit.jpg

>>717850724
The latter. Pretty much all HP spells work that way. Harry literally cast the cruciatus curse on bellatrix multiple times in the book and it did barely harmed her

swedish covers mog

>>717850831
The spell doesn't appear to be multi-target or AOE. I just meant does the damage scale or is it death only and he was saying it to be cool.

>>717850724
I think he said it for effect, I don't think it would actually do anything. One of the special things about the curse is that it leaves no marks, bruises, wounds or scars (with the exception of Harry Potter of course).

>>717850946
Oh fascinating.

The HP magic system has a lot more to it than it's given credit for.

Holy FLUX. >>717850913 meant for >>717842004. The Jewish-stereotype allegations were not unwarranted.

>>717851051
I think Crucio is like that but Avada Kedavra isn't. Imperio is also like that, in that it can be resisted by strong willpower and have partial mind controlling abilities in such a scenario.

>>717850946
So our player in the wizard game just holds such a deep hatred of every living creature that he can obliterate anything on command?

>>717851236
yes

you are canonically playing as a psychopath amped up on ancient magic roids

>>717851236
Pretty much.

>>717846213
>Why not just shit your pants every time you wanted to get out of a social situation?
Not funny retard

>>717851326
all the more reason to play a crazy slytherin stacey

>>717851236
Yes. The PC didn't find out they had magical aptitude until they were 15 so why would they give a shit about following any of the established rules that are beaten into every other Witch and Wizard's head.

I watched Chamber of Secrets back when I was a kid and I fell in-love with Hermione and I don't think I have ever gotten over her.

>>717851518
Sorcerer's Stone came out when I was 18 and my buddy went into explicit detail about the sexual things he would do to Hermoine. He now has two young daughters.

>>717851829
He is absolutely, positively, and definitely diddling them.

>>717851518
For me it was Moaning Myrtle. The giggling just got me.

>>717848438
A thousand times this, the whole concept of 'killing intent' = incarceration is inherently br*tish as fuck, absolute fucking joke of a people and country.

>>717813759
Because it's harder to use than ordinary attack spells. While you're getting yourself in the right frame of mind to shoot off an abra kadabra, the other guy has already hit you with a no-effort stupefy he can spam all day.
Now he can kill you at his leisure, extract information from you, use you as a hostage, trade you, mind control you to use as a spy, etc.

>>717851829
>Sorcerer's Stone
What was even the point of that localization change? Did they think the word philosopher was too big for Americans or somrthing?

>>717850963
Can't really identify any of the characters on the bottom. Except maybe Malfoy.

Nah, she's just a dumb cunt rightist who has a persecution complex like the rest of them.

>>717840218
kek those are some of the worst covers I've seen

>>717849962
Dumbledore can blink teleport. Gandalf doesn't really stand a chance

>>717851829
Do they look like young Hermoine?

>>717849962
Lotr magic is overall weaker than HP magic

Luna should have won

>>717851978
You need to also say the words and have the green light come out of the wand for the guaranteed life sentence in Azkaban.

>>717852006
She's cute, but it makes me wonder if every Slytherin is bound to be a sociopath to a certain degree, probably from all the inbreeding to keep themselves pureblood.

>>717852363
my sides

>>717852181
I don't know if british kids grow up knowing what the philosopher's stone is, but we don't. Sorcerer's Stone just sounds more magical to a little kid brain and let's them know the book is about magic

>>717813818
>>717814190
In the setting, ALL murder fragments your soul. Avada Kedavra is just an instakill, instead of trying to cast Glass In Their Brain to kill them another way. But both would fragment your soul.

>>717838589
intent is a very common in witchcraft

>>717843853
The game Hogwarts Legacy is actually very little about Hogwarts, which is its biggest flaw. Most of the game is exploring a copypasted countryside, looking for high-stat clothes.
You would have expected a HP1/HP2 styled explorable castle to be the focus, but now with a chess club and whatnot as minigames, but no. The entire game is just decorating your Room of Requirement, then doing rock-paper-scissors combat in the woods against poachers.
It needs a sequel, it has a solid base, at least. It was on sale for $5 a few months back, worth the price.

>>717840218
why are Harry, Voldemort and Nagini around a campfire on the last cover?

>>717852996
honestly I'd rather just have a harry potter sim where you get to play as a normal student and take classes of subjects you find interesting. sneak out at night if you want. murder someone. you know, normal stuff.

These adult covers are still kino

>>717813759
because the hp universe is a communist utopia, being cheeky means being evil and being evil makes you voldemort

>>717851051
There are hints of an even more interesting magic system, but JK is too female to explore it properly.
In Half Blood Prince Harry tries to fight Snape, and Snape just toys with him. He then says something like, "You'll never be able to hit me until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed."
Snape could actually read Harry's mind to predict his next attack and counter it.

In a high level duel you could imagine both wizards trying to conceal their next move and read their opponent's. Using feints and trying to slip past the other's guard with a spell too unexpected for the other guy to trivially block.
When Voldemort and Dumbledore fight neither of them use basic attack spells. They just keep throwing weird shit at each other hoping the other one won't be able to see it coming and think of a counter to it in time.

>>717845747
it would taste normally. the curse literally rips the life out of you, it does 0 damage to the body and leaves no mark

>>717852716
Who is 'we'? Because American's definitely know the philosoher's stone turns lead to gold.

>>717851493
To be fair, it's common courtesy in the wizard world to break the rules.

>>717853469
it was funny in the movie, everyone, even the death eaters were basically throwing spells at eachother the entire time
then you have voldy and dumblefuck tearing up the entire room, summoning tornados and dragons

>Can do it on random enemy goblins who you don't know in the slightest

>>717853716
hating goblins is a natural response

>>717834086
Yes but it's a novel for children about a very mean bad guy who is evil because he's mean. It's not GRRM.

>>717853635
>neither party thinks to just insta kill the other

>>717853716
pc just really doesn't like goblins in general

>>717853843
Voldemort tried in the book but Dumbledore animated a bunch of statues to fight on his side and any time Voldemort used Avada Kedavra one of the statues would jump in front of Dumbledore to tank it for him.

>>717853469
>Snape could actually read Harry's mind to predict his next attack and counter it.
that's pretty much sharingan

>>717853469
There's a scene in one of the Discworld books where a wizard and a witch duel, one of them summons a giant snake and the other counters by conjuring a giant basket to trap it in, ect. That's what a I imagine a magic duel looks like. In the movies they just throw different flavours of light show at each other.

>>717853843
did you miss Voldemort just throwing the curse as his first move? that's what the green beam is.
Dumblefuck probably cant use the curse because his heart is so pure or some shit

>>717853843
That's literally the first thing Voldemort tries in the books, but Dumbledore brings a statue to life to block it.
Dumbledore on the other hand simply refuses to use that spell saying "there are other ways to destroy a man".

>>717853924
he's (rightfully) pissed about no Sazza romance in BG3

>>717853469
>You'll never be able to hit me until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed
Snape really is the female writters version of ''nothin personnel kid'' edgelord who naruto ran around in highschool

Indonesian covers were drawn by a tattoo artist.

can you bust on command every second of the day?

>>717854047
So dumbledore wants to slowly kill him by drowning him in water? are we sure he's the good guy?

>>717854278
Dumbledore cant kill him anyways because Harry is a hocrux or whatever the fucking thingymabob is

That's pretty damn cool

these are mad crisp

>>717846060
Avada Kedavara is also more obvious than guns since it flashbangs the entire area in a green light lol

>>717854464
just put a silencer spell on it

And then there's Danish edition.

>>717854464
On the other hand, it leaves no evidence. No markings, scars, wounds, bruises, blood, etc. on the body.

>>717854464
I wonder what the range is, do you need to point exactly at the target or is the intent enough
put a scope on a wand

THRILHO

>>717854638
I cannot rid from my mind the common theory that the first four were ghost edited/written by a jewish man that was a significantly more talented writer than rowling.

>>717854365
Why not just kill Voldy 7 times and then kill Harry?

>>717814019
What if I hate everyone

>>717854784
>a jewish man created goblins
what did he mean by this?

Russian deluxe edition (earlier editions used American covers).

>>717854868
Because he doesn't just instantly revive on the spot, his shattered soul fragment has to wonder around trying to find one of his Horcruxes and then he needs to obtain a new body (like in the ritual they did in the cemetery in the 4th book).
It's also what Dumbledore sort of intended to do anyway, find the Horcruxes, destroy them, and then let Harry die.

>>717854868
Killing Voldemort doesn't destroy a Horcrux. You could kill him 100 times and it wouldn't matter as long as one of his Horcrux's remained.

>>717854721
>UK gets its own school
>everywhere else it's one school for a whole continent
>except japan which gets its own school (you could make an anime out of this)
It's lazy as fuck. Would have been better off just leaving it to the imagination.

>>717855148
Those are some terrible fucking covers. Screams cheap fantasy, could almost be on one of those romance novels for w*men.

>>717854784
I think it's just that what the book series does exceptionally well is the slice of life part in a (magic) school setting, which is the strongest in the earlier books for obvious reasons. As the plot thickens and we get more and more drama and action parts which Rowling sucks at the books naturally get worse.

I'm still of the opinion that the book series should have finished after Hogwarts graduation. They basically could have done everything they did in book 7 and Rowling obviously massively rushed the series because she wanted to finish it with 7 books.

>>717855178
>and then let Harry die.
Didn't he bank on harry being revived though?

>>717855148
eh, id think this is some dnd fanfic

>>717832873
>To be fair, the wizard police would probably come knocking if they detected that combination of casting
The wizard police couldn't find jack shit. One of their best dudes was kidnapped in a fucking trunk for months and nobody noticed.

>>717855205
Some fates are worse than death.

>>717854278
Dumbledore is not as good as he presents himself to be. It's just pretense. A mask. At his core he is a human who made his mistakes, he holds grudges and he hates just like anyone else is capable of doing.

>>717855216
>99% of South America in the same school
>Entirely of the Baltic states in the same school
>entirely of the Middle East (including Israel), India and North Africa in the same school
>Sub-Sahara Africa all in the same school
Too many students in one school aside, imagine the fucking bloodshed.

>>717854868
Killing Voldy even once is practically impossible. And killing him doesn't destroy a soul fragment. It just turns Voldy into a spooky ghost until he can find someone to help him get a new body.

>>717846041
>Memory charm yourself
>truthfully say you didn't do it

>>717855286
Yes because he does kinda care about him, but that's not necessary to kill Voldemort. Once Harry was hit with the Avada Kedavra in the 7th book, Voldemort was fully mortal and any character could have killed him.

>>717855427
>>entirely of the Middle East (including Israel), India and North Africa in the same school
holy kek I would love to watch a movie about this school instead

>>717855427
>MOTHERBITCH
>BENCHOD FUCK YOU BLOODY

>>717855427
The funny one to me was Australia going to school with all the southeast asians.
The language barriers in all these schools would be ridiculous.
Unless they have some Comprehend Languages spell. Evidence from the books suggests they don't, or they would have used it in a few circumstances.

>>717854721
I wish I could hear Ukrainian wizards saying "Wingardium Leviosa".

>>717855427
At very least there's a separate Asian school instead of trying to shove them all into Japanese one.

>>717813759
Sociopaths could, and that's why Voldemort does it all the time. But most people can't just wish someone dead, most people would feel bad before they die. It's like how certain Americans feel bad when they kill a burglar.

>>717855427
>Sar has given Dobby a gift card

>>717855489
Bring in the memory wizard to break through your flimsy amateur memory charm.
Voldemort did this to a woman from the ministry he captured.
She had a memory charm on her to protect certain information, but Voldemort broke through it.

>>717813692
Slytherin has to be the canon house of the protag. No way anyone but Slytherin would be using the forbidden curses as much as he does, dude is a psycho

>>717855427
it is stupid but wizards also have completely different social norms and relationships with other nations, so expecting them to hold the same grudges as their regular human counterparts or governments is silly. as someone else mentioned the language barrier is a bigger problem

>>717813759
Harry potter presents itself as a series where the author (and as a result) the wizard society she writes aren't terribly interested in magic being crazy out there so of course the spell you use to kill someone is literally "I cast you die". Throughout the series they really do just go "only an asshole would use this" and that's seemingly enough justification to say that no wizard barring the most demonic would ever do anything really bad.

There's half a dozen spells in universe that aren't hard to use and are instant "I win" buttons that nobody uses because fuck you.

>>717855829
That's like 1 dude. We already know typical wizards can't do shit to help people like lockhart.

>>717813759
because JK Rowling is a literal retard

>>717855961
>Only an asshole would use this
You need a lot of magical power and you need very high murderous intent to use it. Most people literally couldn't use it even if they wanted to.

>>717854721
Really surprised the expanded universe to Harry Potter is so shit that we haven't received anything of that.

>>717813594 (OP)
abused the shit out of this spell + dot combo

fantastic beasts movies made me realize if Voldy tried to that shit in American he would have been slapped down right away

>>717853595
I guess they wanted to sell a broader idea of magic instead of "just" alchemy

>>717856014
You only need one memory expert at the ministry to handle all the cases of people brainwashing themselves. Or being set up as a fall guy with false memories.
Lockhart was a special case where his mind was totally scrambled by a faulty wand. And restoring him to his former state is a lot harder than just reading his mind.

>expect hogwarts adventures
>Far Cry liberation missions in the forest instead
give me the fucking Bean Bonus Room

>>717856084
The only major context we have for who could or could not use is it a teacher telling a bunch of literal children "if you tried it right now it wouldn't do shit to me".

>>717844791
There's Mashle. It's basically Saitama goes to Hogwarts and it's hilarious as it sounds. Dumbledore is a carbon copy, they even have quidditch. They aren't exactly subtle

>>717856308
There's also the fact that just using the spell (doesn't matter if you missed or if it was blocked by something) guarantees a life sentence in Azkaban.
That's a pretty good deterrent. A lot of people in real life don't kill because it's against the law, and I'm sure if shooting a gun not only guaranteed a life sentence in prison but it was a special prison with soul sucking demons as the guards it would cause people to use guns a lot less.

>>717813759
aren’t the killing curses only able to be used by psychopath high tier wizards?

>>717856310
>the mick has a weapon
gets me every time

>>717853160
Yeah, exactly. If they just made the castle twice its size and made it play more like Bully rather than Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it would be great.

>>717813809
yeah giving someone brain damage and breaking their spine is more ethical

>>717838259
>>717838596
Bruh if a pedo wizard broke into my house and threatened my family I'd ABSOLUTELY AK the shit out of him, but I think my soul would be fine and I wouldn't get charged with murder (by any sane country at least)

>expert at the ministry

>>717838596
For a minute I thought you guys were talking about Avtomat Kalashnikova instead of Avada Kedavra.

>>717856423
We only know that it's not as easy as normal spells and "you have to mean them".
It's similar to a Patronus. You have to power a Patronus with a happy memory and if you don't get in the right state of mind the spell fails or is weakened.
To Abra Kadabra you have to power it with murderous intent.
To Crucio you have to power it with a desire to cause pain.

Naturally, evil psychopaths are better at casting these spells.
Harry was able to Crucio Bellatrix for a short period using "Righteous Anger", but it wasn't very effective. To use it properly you have to really enjoy it.

why do people assume that the wizard police is just fine with this? you still get sent to jail if you do that shit

For what it's worth, the same argument applies to the AK-firearm that would apply to wielding the AK-spell. It's what you do with it that matters.

This is why most people don't Abra Kadabra in a fight. It takes too much time to control your emotions and you can't risk your spell fizzling.
There were a few occasions in the books where Harry tries to use a Patronus, but it takes him a few tries because his life is so miserable. If his opponent was a wizard firing spells at him instead of a dumb dementor he would have been killed by those screw ups.
It's probably one of the reasons Voldemort was so powerful. He's so psychotic he can cast it consistently.

A 9 year old kid in Syria can use an Avtomat Kalashnikova, but using Avada Kedavra requires very high magical power. Just because you can use the rifle doesn't mean you can use the curse.
A good example of what you're getting at is Molly Weasly killing Bellatrix with some random unnamed curse because she was intent on protecting her children from a murderous psychopath. You'd probably do the same to the pedo burglar, just not with Avada Kedavra.

he fell through a portal to whatever is on the other side of death.

>>717858925
In the movies Bellatrix Abra Kadabra'd him. Can't remember if that was in the books.
Did he die and then pass through the arch or did he fall through the arch which killed him?

Wonder why Voldemore didn't kill the Queen? Do you think he was scared of having to face the mighty Eurofighter Typhoon from his broom?

>>717859236
He did grow up in an orphanages that was most likely financed by the crown.

>>717859193
in the books he's dying as he falls through the arch

>>717859236
He killed the Minister of Magic.
He didn't care about killing the muggle Prime Minister or the Queen. They don't matter.

Wasn't Voldemort's might greatly exaggerated? I mean the rest of the magic world didn't even get involved and they completely fucked Voldemort up.

>>717814019

Rowling might be an insane feminist but hating trannies is always correct
>>717815438
the Wizarding World is actually fun and engaging because magic being real meant your imagination was allowed to roam

>>717859663
No. The entire point of Voldemort being some boogeyman is because the british wizarding world is in peace time. No one's learning to fight huge battles anymore. Kind of like the Jedi Order during Revenge of the Sith. The amount of evil wizards popping up that aren't retarded criminals just doesn't happen anymore at their era

>>717813759
because even fictional Britain is dementedly stupid

>>717860146
How can this even be? The magic world is full of extremely dangerous shit and there are plenty of people that engage with it. There should be plenty of battle hardened wizards. Harry Potter setting has that strange narrowness to it that only Hogwarts and what happens around it matters.

>>717859789
just using the ancient magic you have to use throughout the game to survive makes you a monster, av kad is just a Red Ryder BB gun in comparison

>>717859663
Voldemort was an equal with the greatest wizard of the age wielding the unstoppable legendary wand.
On top of that he was immortal, without conscience, and cunning.
He was more educated about magic that almost anyone else, and was pushing the boundaries of known magic with his horcruxes.
He didn't just overwhelm the ministry by force and name himself minister of magic. He assassinated the old minister and put in his own who he could control.

In the end he was defeated more by luck than talent.
The kids destroyed his horcruxes without him realizing it and he got taken out by a backfiring Elder Wand.

>>717860620
This all can be but Rowling didn't portray it well.

Show, don't tell me. Voldemort has no decent feats. Honestly he has far more anti feats with how much he got fucked up plus being defeated by a mid wizard like Harry, regardless whether it was luck or not.

why didn't Voldemort just make a random pebble a horcrux and toss it into the ocean

The books and the movies both show the extreme strictness of the wizarding world precisely because of what you mentioned. If it wasn’t for his connections, Harry would have been in reeducation camp on like year two.

>>717860893
The same reason Voldemort stopped at 6 horcruxes. He was in uncharted magical territory. He thought having a 7 part soul might make him stronger because 7 was a magical number. Nobody had ever tried it before, so he didn't know whether it would make a difference or not. That's the information he was trying to get out of Slughorn.
Storing his soul fragments in powerful magical artifacts might have also made him stronger. And of course he also sought grandeur.

why did jk rowling decide to use abracadabra as the basis for avada kedavra?

Well it's just very easy to do with Harry Potter. The books lack depth and are poorly written at many times. It's similarly popular to lord of the rings but lord of the rings for example is very well written in comparison and way harder to legitimately attack.

Not to mention that Rowling is kind of a lolcow.

Anyone looking forward to the reboot? As someone who grew up with the original I don't think I anyone can replace Daniel, Emma, and Rupert for me. Maybe zoomies will like it though.

>>717846269
He tried doing everything else to the magic cum he could think of. Voldemort specifically engineered it so it could only be drunk. You were supposed to bring a sacrifice to drink it for you. Otherwise you would get thirsty and try to drink from the water where the inferi will kill you.

>>717860893
1 Voldy had an ego and serious attachment to things. He was the ''2 deep 4 u'' autist who wanted to have deep spiritual connection to the items

3 it would be boring

>>717861738
>>717857024
There are different reasons, it's not a good comparison. Guns leave evidence. The bullet, powder, the wounds on the body, etc. while the curse leaves literally none.
On the other hand shooting a gun doesn't guarantee you a life sentence in a prison where the guards are soul sucking demons.

Not at all, I did find that most of the movies (particularly 4 and 6) cut out A LOT of stuff from the books, and the general tone shifted towards realism, killing some of the magic when it comes to aesthetics, direction and so on, and I also disliked the way in which spells were portrayed (wands felt almost like guns, the good guys transform into white smoke and the bad ones into black smoke, etc) and I would have liked a more complete and proper adaptation but I don't trust them at all. Plus, the casting choices so far feel somewhat off, for the most part, and I'm not only talking about Snape (although that's the one that stands out the most). It would be nice if they prove me wrong and do a good job, but I wouldn't hold my breath

Who gives a shit what a bunch of incompetent retards are fine with. Just don't do it where you'll get caught. Unless I'm forgetting some half-assed hand-wave of a reason, the officials in the HP world are simply woefully inept. Not only are the British a bunch of corrupt assholes and fools, foreign powers aren't much better. A guy and his band of merry misfits effectively took over the British wizarding world, and no foreign power intervened, even unofficially, despite Riddle having proven himself to be a threat to overall wizarding society by his flagrant disregard for Muggles and the Statute.

>>717857024
this >>717862061
In addition to what the other anon said, you can limit people's access to guns and track purchases, but every wizard has a wand (or several). Another aspect to consider is noise. Murdering someone with a gun in an urban area will almost guarantee police attention within minutes, but a curse cast in an enclosed space provides plenty of time for tidying up and fleeing. Also, while physical evidence on the body is one aspect, another aspect is the evidence on the weapons themselves. Guns leaving rifling striations and firing pin indentations on bullets and casings whereas there's no physical mark left on a wand. The only thing wizards can do (that I can recall from canon anyway) was the prior incantation spell, but IIRC, it could only check recent spellwork, so it seems reasonably easy to circumvent.

>>717859193
In the books she hits him with a stunning spell and he falls through the arch, that's why Harry holds out hope that he can return. His death was literally crossing over to the other side

They have veritaserum. Although it's hard to make.
And they can read minds.
Memory charms solve both of these, but they can be broken through if you're good enough. And detecting the presence of a memory charm is easier than actually breaking it.
And of course murderers are typically killing people they know. Aside from serial killers, the list of suspects is gonna be small most of the time. There aren't that many wizards running around.

You'd be better off disguising your murder as a mundane muggle murder.

Although Voldemort is half-muggle, he's probably still the purest blooded wizard around since his mother was completely pure blooded. From a family of inbred maniacs descended from Salazar Slytherin.
Every other "pure blood" family has a few muggles mixed in there somewhere. It's just not as recent.

We need muggle wizard that is racist against all pure bloods.

>>717851518

>>717864270

>>717864087
>Having to cast 20 spells instead of just one
Do you even wizard, bro? Optimize your magic.

>>717813759
It's basically premeditated murder. You GENUINELY need to want to kill/hate the person for the spell to work and you need to be a powerful wizard to cast it. Fake Moody when teaching the kids says that if they ALL tried to cast Avada Kedavra on him in that moment, the most he would get is a nosebleed because they lack the willpower and skill.

Rowling worldbuilding is shit, but the Unforgivable Curses are pretty much explained well. This is why other damaging spells that can have arguably worse effects like burning etc. aren't forbidden because they can be used for other things and can be just an accident. Meanwhile there is literally NO OTHER USE for Curses other than GENUINE DESIRE from your heart to kill, torture or dominate the target.

>>717864061
>They have veritaserum. Although it's hard to make.
It's also apparently very hard for them to ever administer, at least against purebloods, since it wasn't used against so many purebloods after the first war. It also requires some degree of suspicion to warrant administration in the first place. They can't just go around truth-seruming everybody on a whim, and if you're good enough at masking your actions and misdirecting, you could avoid ever even reaching that point.
>and they can read minds
And it seemed to be a skill in limited availability (or at least those who were good at it seemed few in number) in the books, and there was a skill to counter it anyway.
>The list of suspects is gonna be small most of the time. There aren't that many wizards running around.
But it's also significantly easier to hide a body, stage accidental deaths, frame people, force suicides, or disguise time and cause of death with magic. If you really want to get into it, it's much easier to get away with murder with magic than without, especially without leaving loose ends.

>You'd be better off disguising your murder as a mundane muggle murder.
Depends on the circumstance. Since there's such a high degree of separation, it wouldn't generally work very well. Somebody getting shot to death in their hogsmeade home would, at best, be a potential means of disguising a murder as politically motivated rather than personal/transactional.

>>717864270

There are a thousand other spells you can use, and you wouldn't be able to use this one anyway most likely because it requires very high magical power that very few wizards and witches have. This one spell can't be used in self defense, only with full murderous intent.

>>717865692
You have a million other magic attack spells at your disposal. Just use those.
And technically you can use Abra Kadabra on animals and shit. Like fake Moody did in class as a demonstration.
Magical creatures like trolls are probably protected though.

She didn't die, they mention in that book that the ministry's people fixed her and wiped her memory.

>>717865427
Fully unironically Immortal Dove Lord sounds more intimidating than fucking Voldemort, especially if you skip over the Immortal part.
I guess maybe because it sounds like a name that might have originated naturally by other people calling some weird strong dove guy as they see him, rather than a name that tries its hardest to sound evil like Voldemort.

>>717866120
>>717866130
The "there are other spells" argument loses value when you consider any potential natural resistances to magical/physical attacks or shield spells, all of which are bypassed by the killing curse. It's a spell with, though few, defensible use cases, and trying to wave it off as entirely bad is about as dumb as bitching about guns because knives exist or bitching about knives because fists exist. One offers benefits that the others lack and could make saving yourself or others much more safe and reliable.

>>717866197

No!

>>717866274
The way it's explained is that it's not a spell that just kills, it's a spell that murders. You can't use it to put down your sick horse with a broken leg even though it would be a merciful and clean kill.
You need to REALLY fucking hate the target and wish for their death from the bottom of your heart.

And again, it requires very high magical power that very few people have and most people couldn't cast it even if they wanted to.

>>717865216
I guess, since it also shows knights and there were a lot of suits of armor in the castle, plus I don't remember any harpies/sirens/angels/deva/whatever

I skill love that Molly fucking mercs Bellatrix with it and everyone just agrees to pretend they didn't see it.

>NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH

Series peaked right there, should have wrapped it.

If you use the spell on another person, yes. If you cast it on a dummy or at a random rock, no.
If you cast Avada Kedavra at a rock, you'll get a guaranteed lifetime in Azkaban.

Every millisecond counts when someone is about to get rape or murdered, it's not fucking time for morals

>ecause they're weak and they're children who won't have murderous intent.
Barty Jr. really doesn't understand what children are like, espeially to teachers. He'd be dead where he stands.

>>717866572
How would they know? They stop tracking your spell use once you turn 18 (16?)

>>717866528
The spell/curse that she used was unnamed, could have just blown her up with an exploding spell.

>>717866593
They wouldn't have the very high magical powers that are required even if they were little psychopaths that did have the murderous intent.

>>717866628
They wouldn't, you're right. If you're caught you'll get the lifetime sentence but if no one witnesses it you're clear.

>>717866438
>The way it's explained is that it's not a spell that just kills, it's a spell that murders.
That's not an actual distinction when dealing with something that lacks a mind of its own. Murder is more of a legal term or something for moralfags to latch onto. It's not hard to want someone or something dead when it threatens those you care about.
>You need to REALLY fucking hate the target and wish for their death from the bottom of your heart.
I seriously doubt there isn't more to it than that. That's the kind of half-true reasoning you give children so that they don't explore the thing you don't want them to explore. Snape used it on Dumbledore, and nothing in the books made it ever seem like he really hated him. Acting like it can only be used by the meanie bad guys because you don't want your citizenry to wield an unshieldable spell doesn't mean your rhetoric is real.

Maybe the surname changed? Such occurences weren't rare. Alternatively, maybe they aso came with the Norman conquest, pure-blooded wizard doesn't mean pure-blooded British or Anglo-Saxon. By the way, many prominent death eaters have French-origin surnames, like Malfoy and Lestrange, and let us not forget about Voldemort himself. Maybe the villains were the Norman conquerors of England after all

>>717866472
Probably. Also, cardiac arrest does not always result in death so it is probably not a good alternative to the killing curse.

>>717866591
>>717866765
You're addressing the moral argument but ignoring the fact that 99% of wizards and witches wouldn't even be powerful enough to use the spell even if they wanted to.
Most of the Death Eaters don't use it not because they're good people but because it's not something they can do. In the 5th book when they fight the kids they aren't shooting killing curses, they use other spells and curses (some to stun, one of the uses a curse that causes pain but is weaker than Crucio, etc.) so if someone uses it, it's to show that he's not only evil but he's a powerful dark wizard.

>>717865683
Accidental magic cast by children not in control of their powers seems to be quite potent sometimes, more so than what they can conciously cast. Unfortunately, this aspect is never explored in depth
(Btw, she didn't die)

>>717867021
Because that's not relevant to the argument of whether or not the curse has merit outside of committing indefensible wrongs.

>>717866643

No, come on. She hits her with a one shot spell that makes her fall down, instantly killing her, while cursing her out with the only non-family friendly language in the series more or less. We only get one spell that does that and it's the god damn kill curse. Because it makes people fall over and die.

It was absolutely based. Sometimes you just need to shoot the damn war criminal.

>>717866274
>shield spells, all of which are bypassed by the killing curse
Then that's a magic R&D arms race issue. They should develop a specifically anti-kedavra shield spell and teach that as part of the defence against dark arts class to every wizard until the value of the spell diminishes to zero.

>>717867143
>Sometimes
Every time. A proper firing line would've saved the retards in magical Britain a lot of lives and trouble.

>>717813594 (OP)
Remember that only 13% of wizards cast 50% of curses...

>>717867193
There doesn't exist any way to defend against it and no one has ever survived getting hit by the curse except Harry Potter which is why it's so special. Any other curse can be blocked or neutralized in one way or another, or if not blocked it can be later healed.

>>717867193
That still doesn't refute what I said. Even then, physical barriers will stop the killing curse, so a method of blocking it already exists. But it's still an aspect unique to the curse. If we want to get into the theoretical side of:
>what if they made a shield spell that blocked it
we'd have to also acknowledge the other side of:
>what if they made a new spell that went around all the shields again
There's no point engaging in that, and it's not the "reality" anyway. The fact is that its property of ignoring magical shields gives it a distinct use case for more than just being "the bad guy".

>>717867143
We can imagine a bunch of random curses that could do that, like teleporting her heart away, spawning glass shards in her brain, etc.

>>717866528
She used a different spell.
>peaked
The opposite, having one of the most powerful dark witches, skilled in combat and feared by most, die to someone who uses her magic to cut vegetables is ridiculous

>>717867504
All the other death eaters were dead and she was drained from all the fighting, they'd been pushed all the way back to the great hall

>>717867504
In general, death eater deaths/losses tended to be like that. Imagine not expediently beating a group of school children you outnumber. By the end of the series, Rowling successfully makes all sides involved in magical Britain looks like clowns and the absent foreign powers not look any better.

The implication is that brits reached a level of development that gives them such a special status, which helped development of wizars schools in japan, subsaharian africa and australia

>>717867504

Hate powers up the curses.

Molly was fucking juiced up on that shit after Ginny got hurt - hence I maintain she just Avada Kedavra'd her ass. Nothing else was gonna cut it.

Goth bitch wasn't ready for the out of pocket death curse from the good boys and girls.

>>717867706
One of the twins was also killed by death eaters before. It's easy to imagine her hating death eaters enough to do it

>>717844791
Second half of ascendance of a bookworm(LN only).

>>717866591
Every millisecond counts so you should cast an ordinary spell that's easy and won't fail because you weren't hateful enough.

>tfw Sirius stretched his legs too fast and fell into a portal to hell

>>717865692
Just cast the anti-troll spell you learned in defense against the dark arts when you were 14.
The incantation is the Troll's name. Trolls can't stand being named.
This is easy because all Trolls are named Peabrain
