I have no clue what any of the Harry Potter references mean, but it would be useful for stabbing. Think how much pain and suffering you could inflict on your worst enemy, without them losing too much blood to stay conscious.
That's not quite how it works. Pushing fluids can mitigate blood loss, and cauterizing the wounds creates the risk of dehydration while doing nothing to actually prolong pain. Lacerations OR burns could be controlled carefully, but multi-system trauma (both) is unpredictable and nasty.
If I wanted to inflict pain for pain's own sake, it'd be on a person who I have no intention of keeping around for any extended period of time, and I'd go about it in a clinical environment. That is, clean, and very tightly controlled.
Then I'd pick one body system to antagonize at a time.
