Voldemort repeatedly used Avada Kedavra on Harry, but the curse failed due to complex magic: Lily's protective love, Harry being Voldemort's unintentional Horcrux, the Elder Wand's allegiance to Harry, and Voldemort's own arrogance/inability to understand the magic that saved Harry, leading him to keep trying the same spell hoping for a different result until the final duel where the Elder Wand refused him, killing him instead.
It is because Voldemort killed Harry's horcrux instead of Harry himself. Voldemort didn't know that Harry was his seventh horcrux. He cast a spell on Harry, intending to kill him but instead killed the seventh horcrux, which was the last part of his soul so Voldemort dies before he can actually kill Harry.
Short answer: Because the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra) destroys life but does not reliably destroy enchanted objects or Horcruxes; using it on a Horcrux would likely replicate the curse's lethal effect without breaking the Horcrux's protective enchantment.
Voldemort believes that the wand would not be capable of killing its true owner, so he uses another method, one that is convenient and effective: Nagini. One other reason that Voldemort may not have used avada kedavra on Snape, is that he didn't really want to kill him, at least not personally.
Upon the destruction of all his Horcruxes, Voldemort had no more defences against death, and was finally killed for good by his own rebounding Killing Curse towards the end of the Battle of Hogwarts.
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.
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.
Connection with Voldemort: Being one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Nagini had a strong telepathic bond with her master and was capable of speaking to him over long distances. Voldemort could also possess Nagini at some circumstances.
It's stated in the books and movies that horcruxes are not affected by avada kedavra. Because they are not living things. They are inanimate objects… the only horcrux that could be destroyed with Avada Kedavra was Nagini because she was a living thing.
10 Most Dangerous Spells in Harry Potter Ranked
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Voldemort again used wandless magic to move a dead giant out of the way (possible with Mobilicorpus) and to make his cloak extend and restrain Harry.
You can block the progress of any spell by putting an obstacle large enough in its way. That's not what Moody was talking about when he said there's no blocking Avada Kedavra; he was talking about blocking it with a counter-spell like Protego.
In order from most to least:
Voldemort saw Harry as the one more likely to ha e the power to match his own because they're both half bloods.
But J.K. Rowling removed the validity from this claim in two ways. First, Harry ages as the series progresses and (in The Cursed Child) is considered still vulnerable to death. Also, technically Harry died first. He may have come back to life, but Voldemort had “killed” him.
Voldemort chases Harry using Lucius ' wand, but Harry's wand recognized Voldemort and shot Voldemort's own magical power back at him. Lucius not being on the same level of magical prowess as Voldemort, having Voldemort's level of magical power directed at his wand destroyed it.
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.
Horcruxes were also extremely durable, and therefore only the most powerful and potent elements and magical spells of the wizarding world could truly destroy them, such as Basilisk venom and Fiendfyre.
I'm surprised he didn't see Dumbledore with the resurrection stone. Harry only came back to life because Voldemort had Harry's blood in his body. Dumbledore mentions in the final book that because Voldemort has Harry's blood it tethers him to life like a horcrux. Because he knew the damage it could do.
Until then, Voldemort required the potion every few hours to keep his crippled body alive, and Pettigrew had to continuously milk Nagini for the venom to keep feeding his master.
While Credence is a Dumbledore, he isn't the brother of Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. In fact, he's Aberforth's secret son! Aberforth met Credence's mother the same summer that Albus and Grindelwald met.
No. It was confirmed that he lost that ability when the piece of Voldemort inside of him died. Laura Taylor JK explained that the language is extremely difficult and is more an inherent ability.
Most likely Voldemort's closest companion, Nagini was a Maledictus who had once been a human woman but due to this blood curse was now permanently a snake – losing all sense of humanity.
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.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort was going to appear feeding on Nagini's milk in order to survive, but the idea was discarded because it was considered terrifying and excessively disturbing for a children's film.
