Assignment 4 (30 points)
Short answer — 3 points each.
1. What is the brand of magic used for defending against Legilimency?
2. Which curse has no known counter-curse?
3. Who would be able to Accio something on familiarity alone?
4. What does occulto mean in Latin?
5. Why didn't the Cruciatus Curse work for Harry when he used it on Bellatrix Lestrange in The Order of the Phoenix?
For 15 points:
For this month's essay I would like you to outline 3 different careers available to students graduating from Hogwarts. Please include what charms would be important to excel at, and even what other classes, for that occupation and why. Be specific and be thorough, I want reasons and details, please. No less than 100 words, no more than 300.
Extra Credit 4 (30 points)
Given the information we know about the 3 Unforgivable Curses, and how the first two may be deflected through Occlumency, I'd like to concentrate on the Killing Curse.
What do YOU think it does?
Where does it attack?
What kind of magic is involved or charm/spell, that would cease all life instantly?
What branch of magic would be best to create some kind of shield or counter-curse for this?
Please realize this is all speculation, so your imagination is key. Give me 2 charms, spells, or curses (made up or a variation of ones we know) that with skill and practice might be able to deflect or directly counter Avada Kadavra.
Please be sure to answer all of the above questions in your response along with your charms.
