For those who are unaware, Moly is a plant that appears in Greek Mythology - more specifically as part of Homer's The Odyssey - where it is given to Odysseus (a muggle) by the Greek God Hermes in order to protect him when he goes to rescue his men from Circe; the Demi-Goddess daughter of the Sun God Helios and a powerful witch.
Thanks to the plant's anti-magic properties, Circe's attempts to magically turn Odysseus into a pig - as she had done with his other men - fails, allowing for Odysseus to threaten her and force her to turn his men back to normal, which she does in exchange for Odysseus not killing her; her later aiding him with trying to get himself and his men back home to Ithaca following the Trojan War.
In the Wizarding World, the story of Circe and Odysseus is known to wizards, while Moly is also grown at Hogwarts with the students taught how to handle it.
With this version of the plant still having some of its anti-magic properties, it's made me wonder - would this plant offer any protection against the unforgivable curses, or is that beyond the capabilities that it offers?
Curious to see what you guys think.
WARNING- THIS THREAD IS INTENDED FOR THE DISCUSSION OF THE DARK ARTS AND IN PARTICULAR, THE USE OF THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES UNDER UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ SUCH POSTS WITHOUT GETTING EMOTIONAL OR RAGING ABOUT HOW EVIL IT IS- THIS IS NOT THE THREAD FOR YOU.
COLD LOGICAL DISCUSSION ONLY PLEASE.
Now... those three curses — Avada Kedavra, Imperius, and Cruciatus — are known as the Unforgivable Curses. The use of any one of them on a fellow human being is enough to earn a life sentence in Azkaban.
So how can using these curses on non humans or animals be ok? Obviously not so unforgivable.
To me, this stinks of Wizard arrogance in the same way that non humans can't use wands. A real Humans only club

What happens if someone who has had the dementor’s kiss is under the cruciatis curse? Would they feel pain? Or would they not because they have nothing to feel pain for?

This spell is kind of a mix between the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse called the Erodious Curse. Now the Erodious Curse won't get you landed in Azkaban but it will get you kissed by a Dementor. Heres the info below
Name : Erodious Curse
Incantation : Erodio
Effect : Makes Flesh fall of bones and break apart
Type : Curse
Wand Movment : Point wand
Punnishment : Excution by Killing Curse or (most likely option) Dementors Kiss
Several sources list that a curse is used to reanimate the dead. However, I have yet to find a single source that actually names the curse that does this.
Also, it amazes me that such a spell wouldn't be a part of the Unforgivable Curses due it's very dark nature of tainting the dead and using them as a puppet/minion.
Did he teach it to everyone? First years and seventh years alike? I think he did, but i'm not 100% sure. So did the first years for example learn the same stuff as older students?
