Talk:Unforgivable Curses

Questions
Legal

Do Bellatrix Lestrange's and Antonin Dolohov's curses get you a life sentence in Azkaban? (They kill people, don't they) And what about if you put someone under the Imperius curse to break an Imperius curse they are already on (not sure if it would work), or use the Cruciatus curse for one second like Harry did to Bella? How about if you use the Killing curse or another fatal curse or an unforgivable curse on a bad guy? (You don't get sent to jail in the muggle world if you shoot a bad guy and kill him) How about during a duel or during a battle. It is apparently not that bad, since Aurors were allowed to use the Unforgivable curses on possible Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War. Also, was it legal to use them on house elves and other non human sentients? Also, during the First Wizarding War, Aurors were allowed to use the Unforgivable curses on possible suspects, but could they actually kill them? Also if they could, could they use any other curse that killed, and could they use any curse they wanted. What happened if the person ended up being innocent. What if they killed an innocent person? And could anyone use it on possible suspects? And did they get to use it whenever they wanted? 75.27.36.231 23:39, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
