The Killing Curse. Avada Kedavra.One of the three Unforgivable Curses, this dark spell is the ultimate symbol of disregard for life. Feared for its infamous reputation, the mere utterance of the words that comprise its incantation would send shockwaves of fear through the hearts of most in the Wizarding World.But my question is..Why isn’t it used more often? NO, I don’t WANT it to be used more often, but it does feel a little underutilized in the series given how powerful it truly is.Sure, it’s an ‘Unforgivable curse’- but what’s REALLY stopping a Dark Wizard from using it? Especially one that’s already been to Azkaban and embraced a life of crime? Why risk losing a duel when you can end it with one simple spell? I mean, it’s unblockable and irreversible…The perfect weapon.Today we’ll be diving into 5 unique reasons for why Adava Kedavra isn’t used MORE in the Wizarding World.

Magical power. The ultimate currency among witches and wizards.With enough of it, you can dazzle your classmates, climb the wizarding hierarchy (social or economic), and perhaps—even dare to conquer the world.Whether it’s used to protect, create, or destroy, magical power is the ultimate force that shapes the destinies of witches and wizards.But given its significance, what IS magical power, really?Is it simply raw strength—the ability to cast more powerful spells than anyone else? Or is it something deeper, something tied to intellect, skill, or even character?If that’s the case, what sets the most powerful wizards—like Voldemort and Dumbledore—apart from others?And perhaps most importantly, what makes performing magic hard? What is it that separates a simple spell from a complex one?Today we’ll be diving into 3 of my theories as we peel back the layers of magical POWER in Harry Potter.Let’s dive in to it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be taking a closer look at one of the many oddities of the wizarding world: How in Merlin’s Beard Professor Albus Dumbledore was able to understand the language of snakes—Parseltongue.Yes, that’s right, Dumbledore. The wizarding world’s favourite headmaster, known for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, love of lemon sherbets, and ability to give cryptic life advice. This man somehow understood one of the rarest, most exclusive, and seemingly dark magical languages—a language that’s supposed to be reserved for the descendants of Salazar Slytherin.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
