Avada Kedavra

The Killing Curse (spelled as Avada Kedavra) was among the 3 Unforgivable Curses and was a weapon of the Dark Arts. When the curse was successfully put on a live person or beast, it resulted in swift and quick death, without inflicting any bodily harm or evidence of violence. When the Killing Curse is cast, it is followed by a flash of light or spray of green signal and an audible rush.

The only known antidote to this spell was sacrificial safeguard, which relied on the strength of love. Due to the fact that the Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra) was a traditionally unavoidable curse, shield charms would be unable to protect against it. However, the green bolt may be avoided by using a physical barrier or Priori Incantatem. If the spell is cast on anything other than a live target, an explosion or fire may occur.

It is worth noting that, despite the curse's illegality, Aurors were permitted to employ violent means and all 3 Unforgivable Curses on foes throughout the First Wizarding War.
