S4E7 - The Unforgivable Curses (GoF Ch. 14)

Chapter 14 of Goblet of Fire isn’t about the Triwizard Tournament.

It’s about something far more dangerous.

In this episode, we break down the introduction of the three Unforgivable Curses — Imperius, Cruciatus, and Avada Kedavra — and what they reveal about the moral boundaries of the wizarding world.

For the first time in the series, magic stops feeling whimsical and starts feeling weaponized.

We explore Neville’s haunting reaction in class, Harry’s confrontation with the Killing Curse that took his parents, and the quiet dormitory moment that may be louder than the green flash itself.

What does it mean that Avada Kedavra has no countercurse?

And is dark magic truly “free”… or does it demand something from the wizard who casts it?

Next week: Chapters 15 and 16 — the arrival of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and the Goblet chooses its champions.
