Slipping and staggering, Harry got to his feet and plunged toward Malfoy, whose face was now shining scarlet, his white hands scrabbling at his blood-soaked chest.
Remus Lupin : " He lost an ear. Who would have thought you knew such Dark Magic? Who taught you that spell? Severus Snape [12] [6] [3] [11]. Harry Potter [1]. Robyn Thistlethwaite [13]. Universal Conquest Wiki. Used it to sever the hand of a fellow Death Eater , who had been aiming at Remus Lupin 's back during the Battle of the Seven Potters , but due to a slip, he accidentally cut off George's left ear instead, leaving him guilt-ridden.
Used it to seriously wound him without a clear idea of what the effects would be, after he found the Half-Blood Prince's copy of Advanced Potion-Making that contained this spell. Used it against an army of Inferi that guarded the Cave , though they were unimpeded as they no longer feel pain or blood loss. Attempted the curse on Snape during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , but Snape saw through it and preemptively stopped it.
Snape was particularly furious that Harry would be using his own inventions against him. A copy of The Monster Book of Monsters. September , Tried out the curse, but only angered the book. I rest my case. The reason that harry wasnt expelled is because Snape made the spell which dumbldore would be able to tell from the book which harry would have said that he found the spell from.
Or that he cared about Lily too much and that makes Snape protect harry like he always has before. It is a dark curse, and a dangerous one at that, but it is the same scenario in both the book and the movie. This is an unknown spell invented by Severus Snape when he was younger. It is an unknown curse to the public and Snape tried to keep it quiet by just giving Harry detention. If it was a known curse, it may have been an Unforgivable Curse and Harry may have been expelled or arrested.
Well, could be that Draco instigated the fight first with an Unforgivable curse. He cast a Cruciatus curse that missed Harry, and Harry, defending himself, cast the only spell he could think to remember in that heated moment. They both would've been expelled probably had Snape reported the incident, but that would mean Harry was out of Hogwarts safest place to be and Draco couldn't follow through with Voldemort's assignment to kill Dumbledore.

Crazy Frog Crazy Frog k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. You mean like being forced to do a menial task for a few hours every Saturday during the quidditch games he should have been playing? Because the punishment for using dark magic on a fellow student is expulsion, and Harry is safer inside Hogwarts than out?
Because Harry didn't know the effects of the curse before he used it? McGonagall didn't get to choose Harry's punishment, as she was allowed to, instead of Snape, in CoS when Harry and Ron drove the flying car to Hogwarts instead of owling that they had missed the train?
In CoS , Dumbledore warns Harry and Ron that they will be expelled if they do something that serious again. IMO, Sectumsempra is more serious than the flying car incident.
Oddly, McGonagall didn't take points term hadn't started and she gave each a detention. So why did Snape get to pick the punishment for Sectumsempra? Most likely it was because he was the one who created the curse to begin with. If he hadn't wrote that spell into the book Harry wouldn't have used it on Malfoy to begin with. I'm pretty sure Snape took responsibility for what Harry did, and decided the punishment for him. Show 4 more comments. Active Oldest Votes.
Harry and Sectumsempra: Yes, Harry was punished for Sectumsempra. Half-Blood Prince -- page - Bloomsbury - chapter twenty-four, Sectumsempra Frankly, I was surprised that Harry received only detention after hitting Draco with Sectumsempra -- Malfoy could have bled to death or had permanent scarring on his face and chest. Half-Blood Prince -- page - Bloomsbury - chapter twenty-four, Sectumsempra The Sectumsempra chapter is important for three additional reasons: After Harry leaves detention and returns to Gryffindor Tower, he learns that Gryffindor has won the Quidditch Cup.
The Sectumsempra incident may be the only time in the entire series where Pansy Parkinson might have actually been justified in harping on Harry -- Sectumsempra is a dark and dangerous spell -- could it be fatal? I think it possibly could be if the person attacked were then left alone with their injuries -- they could potentially bleed to death. Ron has written his name on the inside cover with one of Fred and George's Spell-Checking quills Improve this answer.
Slytherincess Slytherincess k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Yes direct quotes are good, but does everyone really have the time to quote every single line that corresponds with an answer, instead of just saying the major jist of what had occurred in the Sectumsempra chapters?
DoctorWho That Slytherincess and others take the time to find original quotes is part of why they are held in such high esteem on the site. Weasley remarks that as his ear was severed by Dark magic, it will be impossible to grow it back.
Mentioning that it was Snape who did it, Lupin remarks that " Sectumsempra was always a speciality of Snape's. The spell is said to create never-healing cuts, yet Snape was able to partially heal Draco with an unnamed spell. It is reasonable to suppose that since Snape either invented, or did a significant amount of research into, the Sectumsempra jinx, he more than likely came up with, or discovered, a counter spell for it.
Study questions are meant to be left for each student to answer; please don't answer them here. Much later in the book, it will be revealed that Snape had been attempting to use this jinx on the Death Eater then targeting George, to remove or at least disable his wand arm; his hitting George and removing his ear is accidental. We note that Snape claimed to have created this spell, along with others, in the duel with Harry at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
They were certainly written in the textbook he had owned, and there seems to be little knowledge of them elsewhere, though Lupin , discussing the Levicorpus charm with Harry, seems to suggest it was merely a charm that had gone in and out of style.
