> Carol:
> Surely the Unforgivable Curses are unforgiveable when used on 
human beings throughout the WW, and even ex-DE Karkaroff would not 
have broken that ban by having students kill, torture, or even 
Imperio other students. However, it does seem that Krum had some 
experience with the curse or he couldn't have Crucio'd Cedric. I'm 
guessing that they practice the Unforgiveables on animals, much as 
Hogwarts students
> learn Transfiguration on animals. 

Lou:
Harry performs a Crucio on Bellatrix at the end of OOTP without - as 
far as I am aware - any practice of this.
I do hope they are not torturing little fluffy things, or even 
scaley ones, at Durmstrang!
