Can Protego spell block Avada Kedavra?

Protego and it’s stronger counterpart, Protego Maxima, both wouldn’t work to block the Killing Curse as it is mentioned in the book that Avada Kedavra is unblockable. Also, Protego is a pretty standard spell, if something like it could block the Killing Curse, there would be a lot fewer deaths.

Can you block the death curse?

Crucio and Imperio can be blocked in my knowledge. Avada Kedavra cannot be blocked by spells, and can only be blocked by something physical. Protego blocks most charms but isn’t all that useful against powerful curses.

Is it possible to block an Avada Kedavra?

Could Harry’s Expelliarmus spell block Avada Kedavra?

Did Voldemort ever use Avada Kedavra?

It says he protected people from Voldemort’s spells, it doesn’t say Voldemort uses Avada Kedavra, but it would be out of character for Voldemort NOT to use that spell. He isn’t the disarming type.

Is Avada Kedavra an unforgivable curse?

Book 4’s climax was, admittedly, a special case, but it does demonstrate that the Killing Curse can be affected by other magic (at least Harry’s magic). Avada Kedavraisn’t an Unforgivable Curse because it’s unblockable, it’s Unforgivable because the ONLY purpose of the spell is to kill.
