Imperius Curse
From Hpwiki
(Redirected from Imperio)
Imperio is the incantation of the Imperius Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curses It puts the victim under the complete control of the caster. The Imperius curse was a "favorite" among Voldemort's followers when he was in his prime.
The Imperius Curse was put on students during Harry's fourth year by Barty Crouch, Jr. in the guise of Professor Moody, with the explanation that they should be "taught what it feels like". After some practice Harry Potter learns to resist the curse, even when used by Lord Voldemort. Crouch said that resisting the curse took "strength of character". Similar abilities used in resisting the imperius curse are used in Occlumency, but Harry is inept at it.
