Neither their motivation, nor their spell choice is discussed in canon (either book or movie). My opinion on motivation is shared vengeance for his betrayal. There are many potentially lethal spells that are mentioned in the books, e.g. Blood Boiling Curse, Entrail Expelling Curse, so no way of knowing. Doubt either of them would have used the Avada Kedavra, as it is supposedly punishable by an automatic life sentence in Azkaban. | |

She shrinks up as if dehydrated and then explodes to a red curse in the movie. And in the book this is the quote ""Bellatrix's gloating smile froze, her eyes seemed to bulge: for the tiniest space of time she knew what had happened, and then she toppled, and the watching crowd roared, and Voldemort screamed." This clearly indicates it was not the killing curse as it is described as instantaneous in multiple different books and quotes. | |

| Nov 6, 2020 at 11:34 | comment | added | MBEllis | @Shreedhar- I think it's very clear I am not assuming they used Avada Kadavra. Option A for the answer suggests they intended to use a different curse. Also why do you think sirius and Bella didn't die from the killing curse? Just because we don't here them saying a curse...? | |

| Nov 6, 2020 at 7:34 | comment | added | Shreedhar | Firstly, why are you assuming that they intended to use Avada Kedavra? There have been at least two killings that did not use The Killing Curse: Sirius' and Bellatrix's deaths. Secondly, the members of the Order didn't use any Unforgivable curses, they fought fair didn't they? | |

| Nov 5, 2020 at 13:53 | comment | added | Alex | They were trying to use a classic torture/killing technique: They would each cast a Summoning Charm on him from opposite sides and his body would split from the forces pulling him in opposite directions. | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 10:59 | comment | added | Angew is no longer proud of SO | Hence a comment only; however, I meant it more like "We share the deed. If there's repercussions, they must apply to both of us, since no-one knows who actually did it." | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 10:42 | comment | added | MBEllis | @AngewisnolongerproudofSO- That's a good answer but this isn't the case. Both Sirius and Lupin would gladly take the blame for killing a death eater. In the firing squad, the real executioner doesn't have anything personal against the criminal. | |
| Nov 5, 2020 at 10:32 | comment | added | Angew is no longer proud of SO | Regarding the "why" in B: perhaps to undivisibly share responsibility, so that nobody knows who was faster by that split-second and therefore whose spell actually did it. Kind of like in some jurisdictions in an execution firing squad, one member has a real bullet and the others have blanks, but nobody knows who. | |
