"Someone mentioned the matter of the Crucio which Harry tried to cast. 
Don't forget that there were at least two attempts because Bellatix 
cast a return Crucio in Harry's direction and there were at least two 
Avadra Kedavra spells cast, one cast by a Death Eater (possibly 
Jugson or Dolohov) at Hermione and one by Voldemort at Harry."


DuffyPoo:
I don't mean to be contradictory, but the spell Dolohov used on Hermione, the one that put her out of commission, was described as, "a streak of what looked like purple flame passed right across Hermione's chest."  I thought Avada Kedavra was green? Harry always dreams about or remembers green light connected to his mother's death. "'Avada Kedavra!' Moody roared. There was a flash of blinding green light and a rushing sound."  (GoF The Unforgivable Curses)  It is also described as a green light when Wormtail kills Cedric, and there are two jets of green light shot by LV in the Atrium at DD, once DD vanished, and the second time the centaur came between DD and the spell.  The AK LV used at HP isn't described by colour.  

I agree, though, there were way too many spells going on in the MoM for anyone to determine whether or not HP cast a Crucio, without at least doing the Priori Incantato on his wand, as Mr. Diggory did in GoF.
