colebiancardi:

but Harry failed when he first used one back in book 5 - which led the
readers to believe that Harry was too *good* to ever use an
Unforgivable Curse and only the scum of the earth would use these
underhanded type of curses.

there is more than one way to defeat the enemy - going down to their
