  • The Crusiatus Curse (incantation Crucio) is one of the three Unforgivable Curses.
  • The Cruciatus Curse (also known as the Torture Curse) (Crucio) is a tool of the Dark Arts and one of the three Unforgivable Curses. It is one of the most powerful and sinister spells known to wizardkind. When cast successfully, the curse inflicts intense, excruciating pain on the victim. Considering that the curse does not physically harm the victim, it is possible that it only stimulates pain receptors. The two most well-known victims of this curse are the former Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom, who were tortured into insanity with it by Death Eaters; Bellatrix, Rodolphus, Rabastan Lestrange, and Barty Crouch Jr.

The book Confronting the Faceless provides at least three paragraphs of information on the Cruciatus Curse, on page two hundred and thirteen, which Professor Severus Snape made his sixth year class read. In the 1997-1998 school year, the Defence Against the Dark Arts curriculum included the use of the Cruciatus Curse on those who had received detentions. Neville Longbottom received a very deep wound after he refused to participate due to his parents having been tortured into insanity with the curse.
