And out of curiosity -- did he succeed in cruciating the garden gnome?
Because one of the things about these curses is that they are a LOT harder to use on strangers. It's easier to cruciate someone you like, actually, than a stranger. (I know, this seems really weird. But if you like someone a lot they've probably made you cross a few times and if you really want to, you can work yourself back up into enough of a fury to cast the spell. If you're the sort of person that can cast it. Some people just can't cast cruciatus, ever, on anyone.)
