So you think Avada Kedavra can kill someone like Gandalf, I have to point out that your wrong Sherak-It Ralph.

The reason? I will prove it to you...

I have done my research that dose point out that Gandalf can survive a direct hit from Avada Kedavra if he was nailed by it for any reason, you should check out this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/30gqil/how_does_avada_kedavra_kill_someone/

This alone points out that all what Avada Kedavra dose is by killing a person through magical means as if they "died" by natural causes. And while it is unblockable as "Shield Charms" can't block it, it dose have its own limits, Phoenixes in Harry Potter for example while can die by natural causes (as they can still be killed by Avada Kedavra in a single hit), they are capable of being reborn from the ashes from an infant means the "rebirth" part of there mortality grants them semi-protection from Avada Kedavra.

If someone can't die by natural causes means they can't die by a direct-hit from Avada Kedavra, take for example Conner McCloud from Highlander who is immortal and can only die by having his "head" cut off, if Conner McCloud took a direct hit from Avada Kedavra for any reason means he will still be standing due to his immortality protecting from "death by natural causes" even through magical means.

I've also found a link where it mentions more about Gandalf's abilities as seen here: https://www.quora.com/What-powers-does-Gandalf-possess

To simply put the more people look at it, the whole fight alone is just "unfairly one-sided" in Gandalf's favor since all what Avada Kedavra make it so someone dies by natural causes through magical means, because if a Pheonix within the Harry Potter franchise gains semi-protection due to its re-birthing mortal status means that those who are immortal (such as Gandalf, Conner McCloud, Elminster Aumar even just to name a few) are fully protected from the likes of the Killing Curse.

I know some people may disagree but this is what I came up with research-wise.
