Mad Eye' Moody on the Avada Kedavra curse: "Not nice, " he said calmly. "Not pleasant. And there's no counter curse. There's no blocking it. Only one known person has ever survived it, and he's sitting right in front of me.

About This Quote

In the Harry Potter series, the killing curse, "Avada Kedavra," is an incredibly dangerous spell. Most wizards and witches try to avoid it at all costs, because if a person eats a "cursed" object that eats a person, then the object will eat its owner in turn. The only known person who has survived the killing curse is Voldemort's nemesis, Harry Potter.
