Patronus

The Patronus Charm conjures an incarnation of the caster's innermost positive feelings, such as joy, hope, or the desire to survive, known as a Patronus. A Patronus can be viewed as the exact opposite of a Dementor. Even though it embodies all the positive emotions that a Dementor feeds on, a Patronus is conjured as a protector, and is a weapon rather than a predator of souls: Patronuses shield their conjurors from Dementors, and even drive them away. A Patronus "cannot feel despair, as real humans can, so Dementors can't hurt it."[1] The conjured Patronus protects the witch or wizard that summoned it, obeys his or her commands, and fades away shortly after it is no longer required. Look up incarnation, incarnate in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... In the fictional Harry Potter books, a Dementor is a soul-sucking fiend. ... In the fictional Harry Potter books, a Dementor is a soul-sucking fiend. ... A dementor is an utterly foul fictional being, the worst creature J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter book series has to offer. ...


When conjured, a Patronus appears silvery, ethereal, and semi-transparent. Improperly formed Patronuses range from momentary formless bursts of silvery mist, to poorly-defined forms which are easily defeated or quickly dissipate on their own. A full-fledged (or corporeal) Patronus takes on a solid (if somewhat ethereal) fixed animal form that is of great significance to the witch or wizard casting the charm, as it reflects their personality/character. Finally, Patronuses summoned by a particular person have been known to change due to life-altering events, such as personal tragedy or falling in love, as expressed by Nymphadora Tonks when she fell in love with Remus Lupin, although it is insinuated that Remus Lupin's rejection of Tonks causes her Patronus to change form, not her love. This seems to be made clear by the fact that her Patronus does not change form until Tonks herself seems to be ill or depressed at the beginning of the 6th book. Severus Snape is the first one to point this out when he meets Tonks and Harry at the gates of Hogwarts in the 6th book. The same applies to Severus Snape's doe-shaped Patronus; a doe is also the Patronus of Lily Evans (later Lily Potter), who is revealed in Book 7 as the object of Snape's (unrequited) love. Remus Lupin mentioned to Harry in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that the shape of a Patronus depends on the wizard. A totem is any entity which watches over or assists a group of people, such as a family, clan or tribe (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary [1] and Websters New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition). ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. ...


The film and book versions of the Patronus have marked differences: in the books, successful charms always yield corporeal animals, which must then attack the Dementors by charging them. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry's non-corporeal Patronus is more like a shield, and his corporeal Patronus sends out pulses of light to drive Dementors away. (The movie also places no significance on the corporeal Patronus' form.) However, in the fifth movie, when Harry teaches the Patronus Charm to Dumbledore's Army, most of the patronuses are now corporeal animals that move realistically and charge down dementors and appear to physically attack their targets. However he does say that you can produce a sheild patronus or a animal one when teaching the DA in the film.

J.K Rowling has said that Severus Snape was the only Death Eater to be able to produce a Patronus. According to her this is 'because a Patronus is used against things that the Death Eaters generally generate, or fight alongside. They would not need Patronuses'. [2] Severus Snape is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. ... In the fictional Harry Potter series, a Death Eater is a follower of Lord Voldemort. ...


Communication

As seen briefly in the fourth and sixth books, and frequently in the seventh, Albus Dumbledore has devised a method of using Patronuses to deliver messages putting it into the exclusive use of the Order of the Phoenix.[3]. This offers great advantages in security, as Patronuses identify the caster and are Dark-proof. They are also much faster than owls, however they can also be a giveaway to enemies as noted in the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And according to the same book, the caster can talk through them. It is implied that a slight variation on the spell is needed to create talking patronuses, but the details are unknown.

Charm

The Patronus Charm is simple in theory, but hard to perform properly. The spell requires the use of a wand and the incantation "Expecto Patronum." Presumably specific physical gestures with the wand are also required but they are not mentioned specifically. The giant Galligantua and the wicked old magician transform the dukes daughter into a white hind. ...


The caster assumes a very specific type of emotional state: he or she must tap into, and draw out, the positive emotions that will make up the Patronus, regardless of the situation. As the charm is used as a defensive spell at times of extreme duress and fear, this can be challenging. Dementors make things worse by evoking a person's negative emotions, making the Patronus Charm harder by their very presence. The best way is to concentrate on a very happy memory or thought. Harry Potter has successfully used both memories (such as the moment he learned of his magical heritage and that he would be attending Hogwarts) and pleasant wishes (such as visions of Dolores Umbridge being fired), though it should be noted that the first two successful Charms were cast by Harry without positive memories or wishes, but instead with a blank mind. Harry James Potter is a fictional character and the main protagonist of J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter fantasy series of books. ... Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, within J. K. Rowlings best-selling Harry Potter series, is a school of magic for witches and wizards between the ages of eleven and eighteen living in The United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland. ... Dolores Jane Umbridge is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. ...


Because of the charm's advanced reputation, Harry impressed his O.W.L. examiners by demonstrating mastery of the spell, which was unusual for someone his age. In the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling, an Ordinary Wizarding Level (often abbreviated O.W.L. or OWL), is the first official academic hurdle required of students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ...


According to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Charm is also the only known defensive spell against Lethifolds: shroud-like creatures that silently slip into houses to suffocate and digest victims. Presumably there are also other Dark Creatures against which the Patronus Charm is an effective defence. (It is said in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that Patronuses are a "powerful anti-dark charm".) Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them is a 2001 book written by English author J. K. Rowling to benefit the British charity Comic Relief. ... // The following are minor magical beasts from the Harry Potter fantasy series by J. K. Rowling. ...

Etymology

The Latin word patronus means "guardian", "protector", or "patron" (see patronus); in archaic Latin it means "father". The plural of patronus is patroni, but the plural of the term as coined in the books is Patronuses. The incantation for the charm is Expecto Patronum. The Latin word expecto, means "I await." A rough translation of the incantation is thus "I await (my) guardian/father.", and also "I expect a guardian." The conjugation seems to be supported by the physical manifestation of each wizard's respective patronus, i.e.: Harry's patronus appears as a stag representing his father (Prongs). Latin was the language originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. ... For the fictional charm which is mentioned in the Harry Potter series of novels, see Patronus Charm Patronus (plural patroni) was the term used to refer to a Patrician benefactor in the Patrician/Plebian relationship called clientela, which was part of the social customs of Ancient Rome, extending back as...


In the French version of the book, the spell is "Spero Patronum". Spero means "I hope" or "I expect," much as ex(s)pecto means "I expect, I await." This could mean that the spell is based on hope and faith. This requirement would explain why Harry couldn't pull it off during the lessons, or during the fight to save Sirius, until he realized, thanks to the Time Turner, that he had to be able to do it, because he already had.

Albus Dumbledore Phoenix[6] His pet, Fawkes, is a phoenix, and was confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, while hinted at in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Aberforth Dumbledore Goat In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Aberforth tries to protect Harry after the Death Eaters saw Harry's stag Patronus in Hogsmeade. Aberforth conjures a goat Patronus and tries to tell the Death Eaters he cast the Patronus and that the stag they saw was actually a goat. Albus Dumbledore had mentioned that Aberforth has been caught practicing "inappropriate charms on goats" and Aberforth states that he used to feed goats with his sister.
Lily Potter Doe Confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Severus Snape Doe Confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It takes the same form as that of Lily Evans's to represent his love for her. He used his Patronus to guide Harry to the sword of Godric Gryffindor in the Forest of Dean.
Ginny Weasley Horse Seen in the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Later confirmed by Rowling.
Dolores Umbridge Cat Confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due to her fond passion for kittens (as evident in Order of the Phoenix). In book 7, she summoned her cat Patronus to patrol and protect her while she interrogated Muggle-born wizards, who were being watched by Dementors.
Minerva McGonagall Tabby Cat Confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It is similar to the form of her Animagus self (a cat with odd markings around the eyes). It seems that her Patronus was her animagus form in triplicate, but this is not entirely clear in Deathly Hallows.
Nymphadora Tonks Werewolf The form of Tonks' Patronus changed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from its unknown previous form to a wolf. Harry and Hermione at first believed that the transformation was due to feelings brought on by the death of her cousin Sirius Black, as his form as an Animagus was that of a large black dog. However, she later confessed her love for Remus Lupin, who is a werewolf, and it is implied that this was the true motivation for its change.[citation needed]
Arthur Weasley Weasel Confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Rowling confirms that the Weasley family was named after weasels, which she is fond of.[7]
