The first of the three Unforgivable Curses, Imperius gives the spell-caster total control over their subject. Those subjected to the Imperius Curse don’t seem aware of what they’re doing while under another person’s control, but imagine how traumatic it would be to look back on actions you made against your will.
The second Unforgiveable Curse, Cruciatus causes such excruciating pain that when Voldemort used it on Harry, it was ‘so intense, so all-consuming, that he no longer knew where he was…’
Obviously there’s no coming back from this spell, and according to the Ministry of Magic’s classifications this is the worst Unforgivable Curse. If this countdown were about which spell is the most unforgivable we might agree – but weirdly enough it’s not. In our eyes, the quick death afforded by Avada Kedavra seems to us a (very slightly) better option than suffering the curses below.
