The three Unforgivable Curses are:

The Crutiatus Curse, or Crucio, which causes unbearable pain onto the victim. It is used to obtain information in a particularly cruel way, and can cause the victim to lose their minds, as Bellatrix Lestrange did to Alice and Frank Longbottom.

The Imperius Curse, or Imperio, which allows the person casting the spell complete control over another person or animal. Many Death Eaters claimed to have done Voldemort's will only because of this curse; problem is, many of them were lying.

The Killing Curse, or Avada Kedavra, which, as its name suggests, kills the victim instantly. It is believed to be painless, and the only person to have survived this curse in the history of the wizarding world is Harry Potter.

Avada Kedavra is the only killing curse in the Harry Potter series.

The killing curse is one of the three unforgivable curses which, if used, will result in an Azkaban sentence. The other two curses are the Imperius (mind-control) and Cruciatus (torture) curses.

No. Harry has only been shown to successfully cast one of the unforgivable curses.

He attempted to use the Cruciatus curse on Bellatrix Lestrange and Severus Snape but failed as he did not truly mean it - although he did cause Bellatrix a small amount of pain.

Harry was successful at using the curse during the final battle when Amycus Carrow spat on Minerva McGonagall.

There is only one killing curse in Harry Potter which is Avada Kedvera.

There are three unforgivable curses, one of which is the killing curse. The other two are the Cruciatus curse which tortures it's victims, and the other the Imperious curse, which controls it's victims.
