‘It looked big, and it had four legs,’ said Harry, struck by a sudden thought and lowering his voice. Lupin took his time chewing his turkey and swallowing before saying slowly, ‘Sometimes … a great shock … an emotional upheaval …’
‘Tonks’s Patronus has changed its form,’ he told him. Remus Lupin often disguised his Patronus so as not to reveal the fact that he was a werewolf. It can be no surprise that Dumbledore had an affinity with this particular creature, given that his own animal companion was an enigmatic and loyal phoenix, Fawkes. Harry saw something silvery dart out of it and streak away through the trees like a ghostly bird.ĭumbledore’s Patronus was a phoenix, which was revealed to us when he wanted to summon Hagrid after Viktor Krum was Stunned. He raised his wand into the air and pointed it in the direction of Hagrid’s cabin. ‘Should I go and get someone?’ said Harry. We later learn that Severus Snape, in love with Lily for nearly his whole life, also had a doe for his Patronus. The female form of her husband’s Patronus. James Potter’s Patronus was the same form as his Animagus. Coincidentally, the Patronus of Harry’s future wife, Ginny, was a horse.

The witches and wizards who can cast this spell Each Patronus is unique to the witch or wizard who conjures it, and it’s possible, in some cases, for a Patronus to change. The ability to cast a corporeal or non-corporeal Patronus is down to the skill of the witch or wizard. Whereas a corporeal Patronus has a form that is clearly defined and is more than vapour or smoke. A non-corporeal Patronus can appear as ‘a thin wisp of silver’ that hovers ‘like mist’. The Patronus has two forms, non-corporeal and corporeal. And, erm, what exactly is a Patronus?Īs Professor Lupin told Harry in Prisoner of Azkaban, the Patronus is ‘a kind of Anti-Dementor – a guardian which acts as a shield between you and the Dementor.’ It’s also ‘a kind of positive force, a projection of the very things that the Dementor feeds upon – hope, happiness, the desire to survive – but it cannot feel despair, as real humans can, so the Dementors can’t hurt it.’ Harry Potter was one of the youngest wizards to cast a corporeal Patronus, having been taught by Professor Lupin at the tender age of 13. The Patronus is a form of advanced magic which even the most qualified wizards can struggle with.
