When Snape killed Dumbledore. In probably the most shocking twist of the series, Snape cast the unforgivable Avada Kedavra curse on Hogwarts' beloved headmaster.
When Snape killed Dumbledore, he cast the Killing Curse, fueled by the words Avada Kedavra. Despite being unforgivable, Avada Kedavra provided the victim with a quick and painless death, meaning Snape actually ended Dumbledore's suffering.
Ultimately, of course, there is only one thing to be done if we are to save him from Lord Voldemort's wrath," to which Snape replied, "Are you intending to let him kill you?" Dumbledore responded, "Certainly not. You must kill me."
For an Unforgivable Curse to succeed, the caster has to really mean the spell. In 'Half-Blood Prince', Severus Snape has no desire to kill Professor Dumbledore. His heart is not in this “murder”. Dumbledore is already dying from the curse on the Gaunt ring.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
Dumbledore was also aware that he wouldn't be alive for long because he had been cursed by the Horcrux ring. Instead of suffering a painful death, he urged Snape to end his misery.
Harry became so enamoured with the spell that he eventually used it to finish off Lord Voldemort. Here's how Harry's relationship with Expelliarmus became his signature – and why that's a good and bad thing.
In her estimation, in an attempt to protect the true Harry's identity, Snape sacrifices Hedwig, thus keeping the other Death Eaters off his scent albeit for only a short time.
Yes, Dumbledore did ask Snape to kill him so Draco wouldn't. Dumbledore did indeed ask Snape to kill him, so that Draco wouldn't either succeed and maim his own soul, or more likely fail and be killed by the Dark Lord for his almost inevitable failure. "All the same, try.
Erroneously believing Snape is the master of the Elder Wand and that Snape's death will make him the master of the Wand, Voldemort kills Snape by having his pet snake Nagini bite him through the neck.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
He was afraid that the Elder Wand, recognizing his true owner, wouldn't work as intended, or worse, backfire on him. Giving Nagini the order to kill, indirectly would have led him to win the Wand's allegiance as per him, without any side-effects.
The Killing Curse is a spell that causes instantaneous death and is one of the three Unforgivable Curses. Its incantation is Avada Kedavra. The only known counter-spell is sacrificial protection, which uses the magic of love.
There are 2 reasons why: First, a use of one of the unforgivable curses will grant you a one way ticket to Azkaban, even if you use it to a beast. Second reason is, Harry doesn't know how to use it. You need to mean the want of killing, that's how you cast avada kedavra.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself.
Answer and Explanation: No, Hagrid does not die in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He survives the battle at Hogwarts, and he is later mentioned in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which takes place over 18 years after the battle.
When Snape heard the prophecy and pleaded with Voldemort to spare Lily's life, he may have inadvertently caused his downfall. While we know Voldemort killed Lily, he did give her a choice. If she stepped aside and allowed him to murder Harry, he would spare her. Lily refused and sacrificed herself to save her son.
In the [Deathly Hallows] book, Snape's dying words to Harry were "Look at me". Right then we did not realize the significance of his words but in the very next chapter when Harry goes through Snape's memories in the Pensieve, he comes to know how much Snape loved Lily.
Alohomora, which is a spell that unlocks objects (and it's also Hermine Granger's signature spell).
Her sacrifice gave Harry the power of love, a protection spell sealed with the blood spilled by her death.
Cruciatus Curse ('Crucio')
Harry tried to use this spell himself. The first time was against Bellatrix after she had killed Sirius. His attempt was unsuccessful because, as Bellatrix mockingly explained: 'You need to really want to cause pain – to enjoy it – righteous anger won't hurt me for long…'
Gaunt's ring
After retrieving the ring Albus Dumbledore himself fell victim to a curse that, even when contained, would likely have killed him within the year. Once rendered defunct as a Horcrux, the stone was placed inside a Golden Snitch and left to Harry Potter in Dumbledore's will.
So, during the summer between his fifth and sixth years at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy was tasked with the assassination of Albus Dumbledore to restore his family to Voldemort's good graces. Also at this time, Draco was branded with the Dark Mark. This killed two birds with one stone for Voldemort.
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) undergoes an unbreakable vow with Draco Malfoy's mother, Narcissa Malfoy (played by Peaky Blinders' Helen McCrory) where he promises to protect Draco until the boy kills Dumbledore but will kill Dumbledore himself if he fails.
