Doesn’t that spell even break the rules of the setting? What I’m meaning is that with basically all other spells, just saying the words isn’t enough, there’s a mental element to it, which is related to what the spell is supposed to do. So, casting a spell without knowing what it does should be impossible.

There was two times, he used proper curses:
In book 5 he tries to use Crucio to torture Beatrix Lestrange, but she shows him and tortures him instead, as a little boy doesnt know how to torture.
In book 6 he used Sectumsempra on Malfoy without knowing what it is and seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that most spells are just latin word. Subsequently Malfoy almost dies of bloodloss, everyone is chocked how Harry is using dark arts all of a sudden, but Dumbledore bails him out as always.

I love Harry Potter but facing the facts it is very badly crafted and full of inconsistencies like this.
Obligatory: JKR turned out to be a horrible person and dies not deserve any of our money or attention.

I mean, we should really be asking why they didnt just take latin as one of their classes

Book seven, he uses imperius curse on some random goblin.
(Possibly just film? Haven’t reread in many a year)

He also uses crucio in book 7, when one of the carrows spits on mcgonnagal, iirc
