Harry used Expelliarmus (the Disarming Charm) on Voldemort because it was his signature, reliable spell, symbolizing his refusal to kill and his preference for defense over offense, and in their final duel, he understood the Elder Wand's allegiance made it impossible for Voldemort to truly harm him, allowing him to use Expelliarmus to claim the wand's mastery by disarming Voldemort.
He never asked to fight Voldemort, Voldemort targeted him since his birth. Having Expelliarmus, a spell that only disarms, be his signature spell is symbolic that Harry's fight is a pure one based on defence not attack.
Partly because he's a reasonable person, and doesn't aim to kill. Also, he may have not been physically able to do so. [ professor moody said that the most they could do to him was give him a nosebleed] and, voldemort has the horcruxes, so he wouldn't have been able even if he could produce an avada kedavra curse.
In the books, you can see him getting weaker because Harry has more power to look into his mind after every Horcrux is destroyed and Voldemort can't feel Harry doing it. Clair Bascom He was weak because the avada kadavra curse backfired.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.
In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle-born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost. Riddle opened the Chamber again in 1993 through the use of one of his seven Horcruxes, his diary.
Harry Potter used Unforgivable Curses, such as the Cruciatus Curse, in extreme situations of emotion and distress. Harry used the Imperius Curse multiple times during the Gringotts heist to accomplish their mission.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, Rony can be seen attempting to launch an Avada Kedavra during the Battle of Hogwarts. This shows Rony's desperation in that scene, as he tried the unthinkable to save Hermione and himself.
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.
Despite the use of the curses being said to carry an automatic life sentence in Azkaban, Harry was apparently not punished in any way for using them (although except for two times, they were legal as he cast them during the regime of Lord Voldemort, and as for the other two times, there are no known witnesses).

According to Remus Lupin in 1997, Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters knew Harry Potter's signature spell was the Disarming Charm, and he urged Harry not to allow that to be the case.
That's because, regardless of whichever wand Voldemort used, a part of him was in Harry (a piece of his soul) and a part of Harry was in Voldemort (he took Harry's blood in the Goblet of Fire to fully come back to life). That means that no matter what wand was EVER used, they wouldn't be able to kill each other.
Because some snakes could sense heat and movement in a way humans could not, Nagini was able to detect Harry and Hermione even when they were under the Cloak of Invisibility.
He trusted snape because snape had proven himself many times before. Voldemort took anyone that was magical and had his own ideas in common during his first crusade.

Its incantation is Avada Kedavra. The only known counter-spell is sacrificial protection, which uses the magic of love.
For example, despite being furious with Bellatrix Lestrange for her murder of his godfather in 1996, Harry Potter was only able to cause her a brief moment of pain with the Cruciatus Curse because he used it out of "righteous anger", though he was still able to knock her off of her feet with it.
