Carol:
Forgive me, but I didn't say any such thing. "Me" here is Eggplant.
Please see upthread for my real sentiments, which are completely at
odds with this statement.

Carol again:
Viktor Krum, who is about eighteen (almost as old as Barty Jr. was
when he helped to Crucio the Longbottoms), is from Durmstrang, where
students (according to Draco) are taught the Dark Arts. I doubt that
they practice Unforgiveables on each other, but possibly he's been
taught to cast the curse on, say, an animal or a house-elf. (I hope
not, but the curse requires both practice and the enjoyment of
inflicting pain, as Bellatrix tells us.) But it's also possible that
Viktor has never cast the curse before, and it's the Imperius
Curse--Crouch!Moody's will and malice overwhelming Viktor's own
will--that caused him to do it. I think this is the correct
explanation; otherwise, the Imperius Curse couldn't be used as a sort
of insanity plea to excuse the DEs from their crimes, and Karkaroff
wouldn't say that Mulciber had caused "countless" people to do
"horrific" things which, presumably, they wouldn't and perhaps
couldn't have done if they hadn't been Imperio'd.

Carol, asking posters to be more careful with attributions, please,
including identifying your own comments so that they can't be
misattributed
