    I think harry gets a lot of heat for using sectum sempra on Draco. I feel like harry only used it because it was quoted “for enemies”. At that point harry had already suspected Draco being a death eater which was the very group who served the man bent on killing him. It may have been out of character for harry to use the curse but at least his logic makes sense

    • @LAZERAK47V2
      @LAZERAK47V2 2 года назад +34

      Also, when you're in the heat of the moment, you pretty much have to act without thinking.
      Harry was in the middle of a duel with Malfoy, whom he considered a Death Eater (like you said). Death Eaters are more than capable and willing to commit evil deeds, so holding back against them is dangerous and will likely get you killed.
      Malfoy also attempted to use the Cruciatus Curse on Harry during that fight, which is a LITERAL Unforgivable Curse. If he had succeeded, Harry would have been completely helpless.
      So he had to act immediately. Sectumsempra was labelled "For Enemies" and Malfoy in that moment absolutely fit the criteria. And it's like what he said when Hermione questioned why he was defending the HBP: "It just said: For Enemies, it didn't say 'Try this out, it's really good'." There was absolutely no reason to suspect it was so malevolent, especially given how helpful all of the HBP's advice had been throughout the year.

    Love the list. The horocrux creation spell is also like a form of self torture. Leaving your soul behind is evil not just for the murder and suffering you inflict on others but also the pain you inflict on yourself by losing a part of your soul. Casting this spell indicates to me that the caster doesn't love themselves just as much as it indicates they hate other people.

      Here is some logic. No one truly hates themselves. Over-eater feeds themselves whenever they desire food, would you feed someone you hate? Numb yourself to escape reality with drugs. Who helps someone they hate to escape?
      The issue comes from a weak view of hatred which our society doesn't like, hate that is, but during WWII hating our enemies was encouraged, propagated and tolerated.
      No one truly hates themselves, they drink when thirsty and eat when hungry, doesn't sound like true hate to me, does it to you? What the real issue is is that we hate what we do or have become because we have too high a view of ourselves and doing the things we supposedly hate refutes that view. When desire calls though we feed it. It's why alcoholics deny their alcoholism, they're too good a person to be a drunk. We have no discipline like parents who spoil their children.

    Here are some arguments as to why most of these spells are not inherently evil, and can actually be used for good in certain circumstances:
    5. *Sectumsempra* can be used as a surgical cutting spell, as well as for cutting up dead animals for meat. Also, as the counter-curse only heals flesh wounds, you can cut regular objects beyond magical repair, something which may prove useful in certain situations.
    4. *Fiendfyre* is a cursebreaker's best friend, as it effectively disenchants any magical object it touches - it can take out dangerous traps in tombs, and destroy wardstones from a safe distance.
    3. *Imperio* is a great tool for Mind Healers who want to prevent their patients from harming themselves or others. Aurors could also cast it at criminals to prevent them from fighting or fleeing. A farmer could use it as an alternative to a sheepdog.
    2. *Crucio* could be used to try curing paralysis victims by stimulating the nerve endings. That's just conjecture though, otherwise I can't really defend it.
    1. I can't really defend the creation of Horcruxes, but I would argue that it's much more likely to be a ritual than a spell, and therefore has no place on this list.
    Some spells I would argue are equally (if not more) deserving of being in this list are:
    1. The Transmogrifian Torture curse, assuming it does what it says on the tin - twisting and permanently altering the shape of the victim to inflict pain upon them. Then again, it follows suit that the counter to this curse would also be the same curse, and therefore it could be used for good.
    2. The Entrail-Expelling curse, assuming it actually expels the entrails, and not what's contained within them. However, this curse could be used for processing dead animals, and it may actually just be a bowel-clearing spell (which would make sense, given its inventor was a Healer).
    3. Legilimency literally allows you to tear through someone's mind and discover their darkest secrets and their deepest desires. While I do admit it could be used to communicate with mutes, if you need to see someone's memories, just use a pensieve!
    4. Obliviation removes memories. Memories make a person who they are. Therefore, obliviation is bad. Super bad. Like, 'should be an Unforgivable curse' bad. Don't use it, not even on Muggles - just teach witches and wizards how to not be idiots in the Muggle world.

      Sorry to say, I completely disagree with your list.
      5. There's no way an "invisible sword" can cut with surgical precision. Also, cutting an animal through hemorrhaging is so inhumane.
      4. There's no such thing as a "safe distance" as it requires immense skill to control.
      3. & 2. Unforgivable curses REQUIRE you to want to seriously maim a person to increase its effectiveness. You literally cannot defend/forgive them... it's in the name.
      1. Just because it behaves like a ritual, does not disqualify it as a spell. Think of Draco mending the Vanishing Cabinet.
      Good intentions but terrible counter-arguments.

    I always found the term "Evil spell" funny. Because while some spells can be considered terrible due to their effect, in the wrong hand even some of the simplest of spells can be disgustingly evil.
    There is the Dark Arts... and then there are the "dark arts" of using normal spells for terrible deeds. James Potter used that cleaning charm or what to almost choke Snape. The fire starting spell can be used to raze homes. Which is more painful, the one shot kill Avada Kedavra or getting wrecked by blasting charm, I wonder...

    Personally, I feel that their are only 3 really pure evil spells in Harry Potter:
    1. Horcrux spell. You're have to commit pre-mediated, willful murder of an innocent for your own selfish interests. No defense for that.
    2. Crucio. The only justifiable excuse for torture is to get information. But since Imperio exists, torture has no purpose in the HP universe other than to satisfy sadists.
    3. Inferi spell: You turn your innocent victims into undead slaves for you. Not justification for that either.
    Avada Kadavra and Imperio can be used for moral purposes (As seen by Snape and Potter). Meanwhile, Fiendfyre could be uses to destroy a horcrux (which is something good).
    Sectumsempra can be healed if you want to show mercy.

    When you think that Harry successfully cast 3 spells on this list (Sectumsempra, Imperio and Crucio).
    Fair list, however, if the criteria to make it onto the list is that the spells cannot be used in a righteous way, I'd disagree with Imperio and Fiendfyre.
    Imperio - We see McGonagall use Imperio to prevent the Carrows from interfering when they are preparing the castle's defences for the final battle. We also see Harry use Imperio on the Goblin (Bogrod) and Travers in order to break into a Death Eater controlled Gringotts to steal the horcurx. To me, using the spell in order to get past the defences guarding apart of Voldemort's soul required to be destroyed in order to end the war is a righteous use of the spell.
    Fiendfyre - In the Horcrux Creation Spell part of the video, the book calls the horcrux the "wickedest of magical inventions". Fiendfyre could be used to destroy a horcrux, and would have been if Hermione was confident that she could control it. This is a righteous use.

Thereby creating a means for a wizards brothel where wizards and witches could go to experience extreme pleasure muted only by a memory potion given after to prevent addiction or the adverse feeling of being tortured when not under the effects of the curse.

    Can you do a video on what would have happened if Peter Pettigrew didn’t escape at the end of POA and was brought to Fudge? How would Fudge have handled it? Would he have complied with Dumbledore and brought Peter to justice? Would there be mass investigations on those in Azkaban during that time? Or would Peter have still gotten away en route to the Ministry and Azkaban- either on accident or on purpose on Fudge’s part? If the latter, I think Fudge would likely disguise it as an ‘accident’.
    As far as how it would be rewritten to make it happen(for fanfic purposes) if Peter was truly brought to justice and didn’t escape, I think the story could be reworked to have Barty Crouch Jr fighting off the Imperious Curse sooner, attaining a wand while pretending to be under the Imperious Curse (probably stealing his father’s in the middle of the night), and escaping.
    However I think Peter Pettigrew likely escapes due to Fudge’s incompetence or he “escapes” because Fudge wants to cover up the truth. Thus the timeline for Voldemort’s return and the Ministry’s reaction stays intact and it could intensify Fudge’s desire to discredit Dumbledore.
    I think Dumbledore would know what he was dealing with regarding Fudge. Thus I think he would have secured evidence of Sirius’ innocence in case if something like that happened. Dumbledore would be able to prove Sirius’ innocence in a court of law like he did with Harry in the beginning of Book 5, but Fudge would have mobilized the Daily Prophet to stir up enough propaganda about Sirius to make enough of the public doubt Dumbledore. Fudge’s denial about Voldemort at the end of Book 4 and throughout Book 5 and the subsequent propaganda about Dumbledore and Harry in Book 5 happen just like in the OG.

This is a spell that returns a curse or spell back to the caster threefold or three times as strong so depending on which spell curse or charm is used and it's returned back to the caster could probably make it worse than any of the other spells on this list. And the incantation is spoken three times it also has to include thought and intent. I'm surprised that this was never mentioned in the Harry Potter universe.

    I disagree when you suggest Harry isn't messed uo enough to use Crucio. Hed really is. Let me explain. Firstly he spent mostly all of his childhood being practically tortured and absused by his Dursley family, lived under the stairs, abused, ignored, you get the jist. He had lost his parents to brutal and cruel murder before he was even past his infant years and grew up into a strict, extreme and punishing set of rules and lifestyle. Harry was for the msot part a brillaint person with agood heart sure but good doesn't not equil the intentions to be bad in a sense. he was able to use Sectumsempra a spell virtually no one knows outside of Snape with the intentions to kill Malfoy if he could have done if he did seem worried after using it he hardly didn't not understand its nature as he had the Half Blood Princes book of spells to even learn it in the first place. He watched Bellatrix Le-Strange assassinate his last honourable family member (outside of her and him being related) in cold blood right before his eyes and chased her to fight her and ultimately kill her or torture her if he could to Crucio her. The reason I disagree is simply because. Sure he had a good natured heart, yes he wasn't a legit killer at first hand but- And but. He was a tortured soul who had been throught the depths of hell and back who genuine wanted to destroy Bellatrix there and then if he could have even in the books. It simply came down to the fact that he'd just seen some one he loves be brutally murdered and was in shock, disbelief, scardd, angry, confused- Well he had every emotion running through him at the exact same time all at once which is conflicting. He also had very little if any experience in using such a curse on anyone per say which lead to it faiiling. The fact it didn't backfire and he was albe to even cast it in the first place suggests he did mean it, his wand wasn't holding back and if he had better expoerience using Crucio and had a broarder knowledge of darker magic he'd ave done anumber on her with it if he was older and less conflicted. You should do a video ragarding meaning, spells and why some fail due to emotions rather than intent. :)
    I strongly believe Harry Potter is more than capible of casting a realistic Crucio under the right cirucumstances rahter than he cannot becuase he's not ill hearted.

    • @usmanmajid7837
      @usmanmajid7837 2 года назад

      Just because he was high on angry emotions, and has a past of being personally abused, doesn’t mean that he personally is a “messed up” enough person to do the spell properly. That’s why it didn’t even work at the peak of his angriest moment.
      The reason why Death Eaters can do it even if they don’t have a past as bad as Harry’s or aren’t angry at the time, is because they’re genuinely messed up people who love to torture. That’s not who Harry is, and hence the spell didn’t have the full impact.
      It’s like the patronus charm. You need to be the type of person who can conjure a happy memory. Some Death Eaters can’t do the spell because they don’t have memories like that, but rather see just so messed up that they can kill or torture with the flick of a wand.

    Imperio **can** be used for good though. If someone wanted to do something horrible to themselves or innocent people, you could instantly stop them by using the imperius curse and ordering them not to do it, and even create an extremely positive impact by giving them a whole bunch of helpful commands that would make them do the opposite of whatever harmful things you forced them not to do. I'd make Death Eaters kill dementors and Voldemort under the imperius curse and make Umbridge undo all the evil laws she created at the Ministry of Magic, then make her do something she'd be fired for so she wouldn't have a position of power anymore after I stopped controlling her. Another cool option would be in the wizarding world entertainment industry, something kinda like a stage hypnotist comedy act but with magic instead, where the caster consensually forces cast members volunteers from the audience to do silly things during the show and releases them as soon as it's over.

    How can Imperio be seen as worse than Avada Kedavra? I would say the opposite. You said yourself in the beginning of the clip that for a spell to enter this list it had to be entirely evil, not just that it can be used in an evil way while others use it for good. In the books imperio is used multiple times to do good, not evil, while Avada Kedavra is only used to murder. I agree that Avada Kedavra is more merciful than Crucio and Sectumsempra, since they are so much more painful. But murder still ends a life and thereby renders the victim's family and friends in grief, so it's still evil. And the spell is never used for good purposes throughout the books, only for evil.

    I have a theory regarding horcruxes, and here it is:
    I think that while horcruxes provide immortality, the cost is far more extreme than ever imaginable. I think that when the owner of a horcrux reaches their age of death (which is predestined by fate), they stay alive, but barely. As they were supposed to die, their body starts to decay, and what remains would be like that little grotesque baby thing in Kings Cross when Harry is hit by Voldemort's killing curse in DH. As Slughorn said, death would be a better option, and it shows how evil you would have to be to make horcruxes. I guess, after you 'die', the only way to restore your body would be to drink some Elixir of Life. Imagine living forever, but being helpless for most of it, barely alive, and physically decayed, your split soul just barely anchoring you to this world.
    Of course, we have no way of proving that this happened due to only two people ever creating horcruxes either dying too young (Voldemort), or going into hiding forever (Herpo the Foul).

      Slughorn travelled all around.
      He definitely met Dark wizards.
      And himself wasn't less than a Dark wizard just difference is he didn't used it for evil works.
      Therefore he may have met Herpo the Foul, only known Horcrux creator.
      He maybe alive.
      As we don't know if his Horcrux is destroyed.
      Also Dumbledore may too knew Horcrux arts as he was a smart old gangsta.
      In his youth, he too have been searching for Deathly hallows, could be also knew about Herpo and Horcruxes, just refused to do it.
      Possibilities are Unlimited.

    Legal injection doesn't kill Instantly or painlessly. It actually takes around 20-40 minutes, with the first injection paralyzing and stilling the person, but they can very much hear, feel, think. It then sends a second drug, thus drug is like liquid fire to the nervous system, then the final drug, which hopefully works quickly, this one stops your lungs , it's like a hand that suddenly grabs them and causes them to convulse and stop drawing breath. Legal injection is painless for the viewer, not the person being Injected, this is a common misdirection, it's not messy, loud, or unsettling fir the viewer, but it's not painless or Instant at all, the person just can't move or scream, they can't communicate the agony of this injection. People who have used these drugs beforehand have described them, as does any research into them individually.

    Lethal injection isn't painless...
    They just use an anesthetic so you can move. People who have survived the cocktail say it's like your blood is boiling and everything in the body is screaming. They can't move though so it's not merciful at all. A bullet to the dome is the fastest, cheapest, and most effective way to go. And it's merciful. Out go the lights... unless the gunman decides to be a jerk and "misses" the brain the first time around.

    The horcrux ritual involves canniballism. Anybody that knows about paigon folk lore knows about cannabilism. Harry potter is paigan related. And cannabilism Is litreally the only thing other than committing murder that even the darkest of wizards fear. Its the reason that voldermort was the only one evil enough to survive performing this ritual not once but 7x. Because logically anybody would go insane eating human meat. The ritual involved him tearing the body and eating all of the victim. Voldermort truly hated muggles. And he took pleasure on using the avada killing curse on his victims. They were a weak entity in his eyes so killing them he beleived would make him stronger and it has. But jk didnt reveal this to the public because of the majority age group that watches harry potter. Some would be revolted that it involves cannibalism its one of the reasons why voldermort wasnt himself anymore he killed one of his own in deathly hallows part 2 and then went on to kill his most loyal ally snape he shows no sign of emotion because of the horcruxes he created before he performed these rituals there was very little sanity left in tom riddle. But he was still himself because his soul wasnt completly broken he was Just destrot. Remember the scene in the dark forest from harry potter philosophers stone he encounters a dark entity feeding on the remains of a deer that was voldermort obviously but that scene shows how voldermort was more than ok with eating raw flesh.

  • @helstok178

    To me, the killing curse is the least extreme of the unforgivable curses simply because it could even be used in a merciful way. Let's say, especially in the war, you have someone near you in excruciating pain and there is no way to save them. They will die and they will die slowly and in agony. I would argue it would be more merciful to cast the killing curse than to leave them suffering. I know I would rather a person do that to me. It could also be used, if the person consents to it and is of sound mind to make the decision, as a form of euthanasia for those suffering long-term and knowing they will die with no chance of survival. They may choose to have it performed on them to save them from a far worse death. I know this is an opinion many may disagree with. But to me, the killing curse doesn't HAVE to be wholly evil.
    The cruciatus curse is, in my opinion, the spell that is truly evil.
    One could even argue that the imperious curse could be used for good - a loose example being using it on someone who is about to cause serious harm. I'm aware there would be other measures, but I'm talking if nothing else works.

    The Imperius curse isn’t that evil and can be used for good. You can use it on leaders to make good policy or remove harmful ones. It’s more neutral. Whether it’s good or evil largely depends on the intentions of the caster.

  • @audioblogs12

    Can't imperio be used for interrogation? If the target does whatever the caster wants, and the caster wants the target to answer questions, then it follows that the target will answer questions unless he or she is capable of fighting it. I suspect it's related to veritaserum, perhaps weaker and with a broader purpose, but I suppose it would be banned from an interrogation setting because the validity of the given information would depend on the integrity of the caster and the inability of the target to fight it. Barty Sr. and Umbridge wouldn't have been trustworthy with it because the would have wanted to force a false confession, nor would Umbridge-era Fudge because he would have wanted to suppress truthful testimony.
    I also question imperio on your list above sectumsempra.
