    As far as I am aware that would be correct. Also, see my edit to the previous comment.

    I’m actually kinda surprised that he was able to Septumspectra Malfoy that one time. Apparently the “you have to mean it,” part doesn’t apply to all offensive spells?

      Yeah, just the 3 “unforgivables”, Avada Kedavra (death), Crucio (pain) and Imperio (control). Also iirc it was Crucio Harry tried to cast at Bellatrix, not the killing curse. Though imo memory erasure/editing magic should also be unforgivable, it’s just as bad

      Also I think the killing curse shouldn’t be illegal in the case of informed consent, it’s a lot less cruel than letting someone die of disease, it’s instant and painless - even Dumbledore chooses to die from it
