		The person who is cursed would have some kind of minor irritation for the rest of their life (like an itch that won't go away or somebody blowing in their ear).

		The only way to defend this curse called dumperio-despairio is to battle all the despair and sorrow, because the moment you crack a smile the curse is broken.

		Three curses in particular are known as Unforgivable because using them on another human being can result in a life term in Azkaban.

		One, the Killing Curse, was used by Voldemort himself on Harry Potter, but the curse backfired and Voldemort was defeated.

		Experiencing the Imperius curse is a lot like the feeling Muggles have when they are injected with one of their "chemicals" that they call morphine.
		Established around the medieval period, the Cruciatus Curse is a curse used only by the Darkest witches and wizards, as it takes some real power to enforce this act of cruelty upon a fellow human being.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		I have an important post/piece in the works on the centrality of book 4 to the 7 stage development of the series and so I think, since this occurs in book 4, that this element is key to Rowling's outlook and an important aspect of her central theme of death.
		There are arguments in favor of the "death penalty" that really do not rely on the idea of using death as a true penalty, but on the pragmatic consdieration of it's possible effectiveness for assuring the inability to commit further similar crimes, and these arguments constitute their own separate debate.
		I think she is emphasizing the dignity of the human person this way and in particular by emphasizing the connection of that diginity with human free will, which she symbolizes in Harry's and Barty Jr's ability to resist the Imperius curse.

	MuggleNet \| Hermione and the Imperius Curse in Order of the Phoenix - An editorial by Jonathan P. Jaworski.
		The Imperius Curse is one of the three so-called "Unforgivable Curses" that, when used on another human being, warrant the user a life sentence in Azkaban.
		It seems to me that the effects of the Imperius Curse described by Harry certainly constitute a "reverie" (according to Webster's dictionary, a reverie is a "a state of mind, akin to dreaming").
		Based on the evidence, it is clear that Hermione is under the Imperius Curse.

	Overanalyzing the Text: HPfGU#40168: Arthur Weasley With Imperius -- Now, With New Canon!
		So although nearly everyone we have seen who claims to have been a victim of the Imperius Curse in canon has been lying, I nonetheless believe that there were quite a number of genuine victims of the curse during Voldemort's first rise to power.
		The "The Unforgivable Curses" chapter of GoF, which MRT cited in his (?) message is, to my mind, by far the strongest evidence for the notion that Arthur Weasley was one of Voldemort's Imperius victims.
		Harry is a freak in his ability to shrug off the Imperius Curse—that much is clear—but the text also implies that Ron may have an unusual degree of difficulty with this task.

		By being embarrassed Voldemort would want to embarrass Harry by putting him through the paces via the cruciartis curse which would show everyone that he, Voldemort, was truly the strongest.

	Overanalyzing the Text: HPfGU#37121: Arthur Weasley, With Imperius Curse
		Presumably, there were indeed at least a few wizards who really were placed under the Imperius Curse against their will during Voldemort's first rise, rather than just claiming that they had been to escape punishment for their crimes.
		So although everyone we have yet seen who claims to have been a victim of the Imperius Curse in canon has been lying, I nonetheless do believe that there were a number of genuine victims of the curse as well.
		Ron names the Imperius Curse, adding that he knows of it because his father has mentioned it to him.

		And with the imperius curse you'll actually WANT to do whatever the person is asking.
		The Imperius doesnt focus the mind it actually controls it so I think that when u tell the mind to do something it does it like its doing it itself(like when u raise your hand).
		Perhaps the imperius curse allows you to overcome any mental limitations and lackings in skill, but cannot make you do anything that is other wise physically impossible.

		The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, and Avada Kedavra have been dubbed the Unforgivable Curses by the wizarding world.
		Draco had enough emotional control to use Imperius on Rosmerta in attempts to kill indirectly, but when push came to shove, he couldn't look DD in the eyes and kill him.
		My point, at least, was that while a person who casts the AK curse is not necessarily despicable, it's hard to imagine a worthy and virtuous person casting successfully the Cruciatus curse.
