| Feb 28, 2018 at 7:12 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @LevenTrek Books have clearly mentioned that Legilimency and Veritaserum were out of question against Slughorn: scifi.stackexchange.com/a/182423/931 | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 3:26 | comment | added | LevenTrek | instead of a downvote, I'll just say: this question makes more sense if you say the "Legilimency Spell" (the one that reads minds), the "Imperius Curse" is for mind-control | |
| Feb 27, 2018 at 19:40 | comment | added | lfurini | The last book makes quite clear that old Dumbledore would not approve of doing something bad "for the greater good". | |
| Feb 27, 2018 at 18:18 | comment | added | user68762 | The imperius would be probably an overkill (besides being illegal it would've also allienated a possible ally). Also S. is a skilled wiz and occlumens. Probably would've resisted it. Dumbledore says as much in book 6 when Harry asked a similar question. Note that in that conversation Dumbledore mentions no moral problems, only technical ones. | |
