Who Created The UNFORGIVABLE Curses

Barty Crouch Jr. really was one of the best professors Harry ever had. Dude just couldn’t help himself. He broke school rules to show the students unforgivable curses and that knowledge was invaluable to them throughout the series. Dude just could’ve shut up and played a movie all class, but no….

Harry actually uses Crucio twice. The second time with a lot more success against Amycus Carrow, when he just so happens to be in possession of the Resurrection Stone as part of the snitch. Yeah, I think you might be onto something here...

Minor correction - Harry actually used an unforgivable curse a third time. Before the battle of Hogwarts Harry uses the Cruciatus Curse on Amycus Carrow in anger after Amycus spits in Minerva McGonagall’s face. Unlike his first attempt on Bellatrix, Harry’s second use of the curse is fully successful, in part because he uses Bellatrix’s advice about “really meaning it. You need to want to cause pain.”

I've always thought of the three curses as The three answers or the three anthesis to the deathly hallows... The killing curse to stop the elder wand, The torture curse to cause the pain and anguish the dead feel when brought back, and finally the curse to make one do your bidding...the only way to make a person, who cannot be found, reveal themselves...it's quite poetic

Day 12 of politely asking the brothers to do a what if Sirius took Harry the night his parents died, therefore not going after Peter, and Harry was raised by Sirius instead of the Dursleys?

I think Tom wanted to prove thst Harry was ACTUALLY dead. This kid has already survived a death attempt once before, and the twins cores has made him fairly resistant to Voldemort's spells in the past. So by using Cruxio on his body, Voldemort is proving that Harry is really dead, thus show8ng his own power in beating the one person who could defeat him, as well as proving that he truly was master of the Elder Wand and overcoming the twin cores.

I find it interesting that the names of the brothers start with the same letters of the spells they supposedly created. Antioch created 'A'vada Kedavra, Cadmus created 'C'rucio, and Ignotus created 'I'mperio.

I have always liked the theory that Avada Kadavra was actually invented as a healers tool something along the lines of " We need a way to give someone a peaceful death because we can't save them and they are suffering" I don't have a lot of proof that it was the case other than its quick painless and doesn't leave any mark on the body. The fact that it has been perverted into such an evil curse would be such interesting and cruel irony as well.

My personal headcanon is that in the Wizarding world, Avada Kedavra was at one point witnessed by a Muggle, passed down by them as a word associated with real magic, then was oversimplified with time into Abra Kadabra.

I always thought it was strange that Dumbledore called all three brother "powerful and dangerous" not just the first one

I omce met a therapist who made me realize that some therapists are so good at their job, their words are kind of magical. When using the right words, a therapist can change a person, heal them, give them abilities they didnt have before. The more skilled the therapist, the more powerful their words can be.

"Emotional pain demands to be felt" THAT HIT HARD!!

I honestly thought the little voice in the back of Harry’s brain during the Imperius curse was Voldemort’s soul being defiant, also it would be harder controlling a person with two souls

9:51 I had previously assumed that he cast the cruciatus curse to make sure that Harry wasn’t alive, because no living think could go through the pain without any reaction.

Could Harry's relationship to the Peverl brothers be helpful in being able to resist the curses? His mom's love is still playing a factor but the brothers being a grandfather and great uncles could be contributing factors on why he is able to resist the curses.

The killing curse and the imperius curse actually kinda sound like something that could be used in medicine/hospitals. Giving fast and painless go to someone or someone, who is a danger to themselves or others can be controlled without physical force, with a spell that feels peaceful to them

As far as connecting the three brothers and three curse there is something you only really barely touched on. If we look at the three Hallows and how they're used, we have a wand that is constantly killed for, the stone causes so much pain when resurrecting someone, and the cloak is used not only by Harry, but also James to go around the school. The third one, I think, is the most important for the theory; The cloak allows at least two students and their friends to freedom, the ability to go where they want, when they want, do what they want to do. The cloak is them taking their will into their own hands...just like the Imperious curse, putting your will in your hand and then taking the next step of forcing it on someone else.

Ive always wondered why Antioch was murdered without magic in order to steal the Elder wand. And now it makes sense - because no one else really would’ve known the killing curse aside from them

I do love how it feels like whenever there is a group of 3 things in the wizarding world, this channel seems to attribute it to the 3 brothers

I think the Imperius curse is kind of like hypnosis - It puts you into a kind of suggestive trance, and once you are in that blissful 'sleep' the person casting the spell can 'suggest' ideas and actions to you, which you just blindly follow because of the trance. But it's not foolproof, because people can reject these suggestions.
