Release cycle theme: The Wizarding World of Jostle
I is for Imperio
The Imperio spell is one of three unforgivable curses, granting the caster complete control over another person or animal.
Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, one of the other three unforgivable curses, being under the Imperio spell is not an unpleasant feeling. When Harry Potter was placed under the curse, he described it as, “the most wonderful feeling… floating sensation as every thought and worry in his head was wiped gently away, leaving nothing but a vague, untraceable happiness.”
Those under the curse find themselves imbued with abilities they otherwise didn’t possess. Wizards can cast spells far above their typical ability, and Neville Longbottom became quite the acrobat while.
Despite the pleasant feeling and newfound abilities, it’s still considered extremely bad taste to override an individual’s free will. Any wizard caught using one of the three unforgivable curses was automatically given a life sentence in Azkaban.
For the record, us Jostlers are not in the habit of casting curses, unforgivable or otherwise!
