Avada Kedavra, The Unforgivable Curses Options

"Not nice," he said calmly. "Not pleasant. And there's no countercurse. There's no blocking it. Only one known person has ever survived it, and he's sitting right in front of me."

Clearly the most powerful lines and scene in the entire series thus far.
Do you agree?

[Slytherin~Fangir...]

Hmm, I always thought the most powerful line in the series was "Lord Voldemort had risen again." on page 643. And then the chapter ends-- eeee! The suspense!! @___@

I had to jump up and run around yelling for a few minutes before I could continue reading. I still get all nervous and adrenaline rushed when I re-read it. XD

But I do agree with you on that being a powerful line, it does make us all wonder. ^_^

i agree totally with both of you

[Tickled Dragon]

Hmmm... I think the power gets a bit drained and replaced with mystery and wonder because he wasn't the real Moody.

I think that is def one of the most powerfull lines in the book. But i think that the most powerfull is when cedric askes harry to take his body back to his parents.

[Shadow]

agreed to SF "Lord Voldemort had risen again " is the most powerfull sentence in the whole book!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the line "Lord Voldemort has risen again" was a real gasp factor.

I think that we all knew he had risen before they said that line. Not to suprising.

[Slytherin~Fangir...]

Even so, the way the author states that fact, in such a simple way...makes it so much more dramatic!!

[AceDozer]

I agree with all of you guys. And plus, cliff hangers make it even more suspensful.

Shadow,

I think the quote in your signature is one of the strongest and most powerful lines in the book, it even gets re-stated in Harry's mind to end the book.


'What's comin' will come and we'll meet it when it does.'

i agree and it also .relates to everyday life.That is really good advice to give someone.To just be prepared for the unknown

And plus, cliff hangers make it even more suspensful.

Oh that is sooo true!

But i think that the most powerfull is when cedric askes harry to take his body back to his parents.

When I read that I got so upset. Why did he have to die?!

Anyway, Yes, That is a powerful line. It's one of those line that make everyone look at you. And it makes everyone and everything go quiet.

i agree with SF. it creats more suspense than when Cedric asks harry to take his body back. that's sad.... but not as suspensful as what SF said.

When I read that line the first thought that came to mind was "Dun duh dun."

Anyone ever notice that Kedavra sounds like the french word Cadavre which means dead body?

[Simbera]

Wow, I didn't know that! I just thought it was a take off of "Abra Kadabra" Like the Muggles would definitely remember that, it was the Killing Spell, so it's been remembered. You know how JK slips those sorts of things in.

Pretty well every spell, name, event etc in HP is related to something, if you look hard enough. That, in my opinion, adds greatly to re-reading value.

<^>

hey, you're right about avada kerdavra, it's wording is related to death. This was the only unoriginal slepp JK had ever used, and "Avada Kedavra" is closely related to an anciant spell somewhere in the middle east. it means, "As gone as these words".

Hmmm I wonder what other hidden meanings the other spell have?

*runs to HP books and re-reads them again*

Like in her biography she says that for Gilderoy Lockhart she looked in a dictionary of words and phrases and found Gilderoy and Lockhart which both meant something that had to do with 'into yourself'or something like that.But it IS true.Even if he was a phony.
