Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing how in the name of Merlin's Beard GINNY Weasley was able to block BELLATRIX Lestrange's Avada Kedavra curse.

As many of you will know, Avada Kedavra is one of--if not THE--most lethal curse to exist within the entire Wizarding World. As one of the three Unforgivable Curses that were classified as such and banned from use in 1717, Avada Kedavra is a deadly spell that is also known as simply The Killing Curse. Created with potent Dark Magic, these three spells are both extremely strong and extremely sinister with the entire purpose of The Killing Curse being to eliminate its target.

And with the exception of Harry Potter, no witch or wizard who has been hit with the Avada Kedavra curse has ever survived. What's more, there is actually no magical way to protect oneself against this particular curse. That is to say, there's no counter-curse or shield spell that's powerful enough to block Avada Kedavra. In fact, the only way to avoid the effects of The Killing Curse and not die upon contact is to literally AVOID the curse. This means that one can only survive Avada Kedavra if they jump out of the way or hide behind a solid enough object like a wall or boulder.

Which brings us back around to the question of how in the fiery pits of HELL did a sixth-year student block a Killing Curse cast by one of the most powerful Death Eaters in Voldemort's army?!
