Did Harry use Avada Kedavra on Bellatrix?

No, Harry Potter did not use the Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse) on Bellatrix Lestrange; he tried to use the Cruciatus Curse (torture curse) in a fit of rage after she killed Sirius Black, but it failed because he lacked the true malicious intent to inflict prolonged suffering, instead only causing her brief pain before she recovered. Ultimately, Molly Weasley killed Bellatrix with a different, unspecified spell during the Battle of Hogwarts, not the Avada Kedavra.
