Do we know for sure it was a Stunning Spell? We see a jet of red
light, but we don't hear Bellatrix's incantation. <SNIP> ~Phyllis
In the American version, it just says a "jet of light" hit SB in the
chest, and then his eyes were surprised, and he fell through the
veil. It doesn't say "red light." Indeed, I was kinda surprised it
didn't say "green", like the AK. I'm still not sure whether the spell
killed him or whether it was the fall though the veil, not that it
matters how someone died, just the horror that they're dead is
important, here.
But it would be nice to know.
