His body is made of a single bone and maybe a cup of blood. It's not nearly as sturdy as one of ours.Do you even watch the movies? PI was caused by wand cores and the only images it created ended it, you actually see him cast the spell on baby harry, and the reasob it failed in 8 was because harry was technically the master of the elder wand.
Yes, but he had to win the battle of willpower to enact the spell on Harry. It's like saying look this spell failed because it missed. The spell never hit Harry ie never failed. think, bueller. Why isn't the body as sturdy as ours ?
No, it hit Harry and killed part of him. Voldemort never had complete control of the elder wand but the Ak still hit and killed a part of Harry.
Originally posted by NotAllThatEvilWasnt blocked with superior magic but has to do with similar cores as you know. Ak didn't fail because it never hit Harry. We later see it hit Harry in last film. Part of him was killed.
But it was blocked with magic. We can assume that magic with equal or greater potency would block the spell as well. How do you think PI works?
In the movie yes.
In the book.. maybe. Its stated that PI only works with core bros, though nothing said about normal clashing. It could be like the films where magic can clash but not cause a PI. Physical items can also successfully block AK.
Officially the only things shown to counter AK is a beam-struggle, being blocked by something or blocked/reflected by powerful magic like Love.
Why is it that you're all so fixated on whether or not the Avada Kedavra can be resisted? Just dodge the damn thing. The spell needs to hit its target to have an effect after all, or so the books heavily implies from what I've read.
Just look at what Dumbledore did during his brief duel with Voldemort at the Ministry. The AK proved to be completely ineffective against the animated statues (the spell is described as "gliding off" of them, but my copy of OotP isn't in english so I don't know how it's described there), and a stray AK merely set fire to a wooden desk. Fawkes the phoenix was instantly reborn from his ashes after he took an AK for Dumbledore. Hell, Dumbledore even manages to dodge an AK fired right at him! Of course, the book doesn't specifically refer to the "green curse" being cast at him as the AK, but since it's always described as a green energy bolt I'd say it's a fair assumption.
So no, the Avada Kedavra is not quite as "unstoppable" as some would like to imagine it to be. Going by the book you'd only need to put something between it and you and you'll be fine.
Or be a phoenix.
Originally posted by NotAllThatEvilSomeone needs to give their life and Voldemort is knowledgeable about this magic so not applicable. Wand magic and locked in a battle of wills. Not the same as the Ak failing since he didn't hit the person. Killed Horcruxes so it worked. Never hit Harry and his wand was rigged so it wasn't rightfully his so not applicable. M
First time blocked with a love spell, second time blocked with PI, third time only killed a little bit, fourth time failed because the wand prefered harry. When a strong magical force interferes it fails. That's just how it works.
No, you can block it with a continuous magical attack but if it hits you die. That simple. Only counter is sacrificial but it requires luck and willing person not in these threads just willingly dying.
Ak hits it kills. 🙂
