That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous that the curse would be considered unblockable under those circumstances and ridiculous that I didn't think of that already.
And yet... it seems you're right. In fact, now I think it would make sense for wizards to use shields in duels.
Assuming shields light enough to be practically carried could be thick enough to block it.
harry carries around a small boulder as ring. the transfiguration could be finite incantem'd before battle. although quirrel did say that most magic battles are actually ambushes.
And someone could just cast evanesco on the shield, now that I think about it.
