[PTab=General]
The Patronus Charm is a defensive spell which produces a silver, animal guardian, used to protect a witch or wizard against Dementors.
As a pure, protective magical concentration of happiness and hope (the recollection of a single talisman memory is essential in its creation) it is the only spell effective against Dementors. The majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses and to do so is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability.
Each Patronus takes the form of a different animal that has a special affinity with the caster.
The caster must summon their happiest memory and allow it to fill them up with happiness and comfort. Pointing their wand at the dementor, they must recite the incantation: "Expecto Patronum".
There are many forms that your Patronus could take; it could be a familiar animal or, in rarer cases, a magical creature.

There are currently 133 Patronus forms.
[PTab=A - B]
Aardvark
The aardvark has been long associated with courage, fearlessness, and not letting obstacles get in the way of a goal. Few things will stop a determined aardvark from getting what it wants. Those who identify with the aardvark will exhibit similar traits, refusing to let even the worst things get to them in pursuit of their goals. Aardvarks are first and foremost survivalists and are all-around tenacious individuals. If you managed to get the tough aardvark as a patronus, you are likely also a very tough person. Note that this does not necessarily translate to only the physical; those that have suffered great losses or difficulties and managed to carry on regardless, head held high, also show the strength of character that the aardvark exhibits.
Abraxan Winged Horse (very rare)
A breed of winged horse, gigantic in size and extremely powerful. They are selective eaters and usually require forceful handling. As a Patronus, they represent power, determination, and a free spirit. If your Patronus is an abraxan-winged horse, you find comfort in solitude. When you can step back on your own and take a deep breath, you can collect your thoughts and reach your peak performance. While you work well with others, you also enjoy being able to do your own thing, as that’s when you’re able to work without bounds and get things done your own way. This does not mean you’re unfriendly or do not enjoy working with others; in fact, you do quite well in groups or as a part of a team. You’re a great leader, actually. But if given the chance to work alone, you know that is what will bring out your best.
Adder (types of snake)
A powerful symbol in most cultures, with meanings like fertility, healing, change, energy, and the duality of good and evil. Having an Adder Patronus means you find comfort in change. You are incredibly flexible, but also sometimes can be cautious and can resist the pull of time – you, however, do not fear the never-ending wheel, seeing it as your wheel of fortune. Anything can happen – that is exciting and comforting to you. You never have to feel locked in or trapped, which appeals to your Thunderbird love of exploration. This guardian will always heal your emotional wounds and remind you that there is always a way out of whatever bad situation you get into and that for every evil there is in the world, there is also some good.
Albatross
If you have produced an albatross Patronus, perhaps you have a happy-go-lucky personality and enjoy throwing caution to the wind. The Dementors would be unlikely to get you down with this giant feathered friend soaring in to save the day. The albatross has long been considered a symbol of good luck, particularly by those who work on or travel at sea. People of the albatross are calm and graceful, with a great endurance that allows them to cruise through difficulties or lengthy endeavors with an ease that many wish they had. They generally try to bring fortune and some of that ease to the people in their lives and are often relied upon as a stable “rock” for others to gravitate to in troubling times. It’s not unusual for an albatross to live a long life and has some of its calming nature rub off on those whose lives they touch in turn.
Badger
Badgers are known for their aggressiveness and territorial behaviors. They have no problem staking their claim and defending what is theirs. They represent determination, focus, and self-expression. They also symbolize persistence, strong will, and confidence. The badger’s totem meaning is to focus on your goals and to have faith in your abilities. Having this animal as your Patronus means you know what you want and are not afraid to go for it. You know your priorities and what you need to do for yourself and your family. You are independent and would rather help others than need them to help you. You are comfortable with who you are and in your beliefs. You don’t need others' approval or validation and put more value on self-worth. You may have trouble with listening to others and can be a bit stubborn, but you never give up and work for your goals. This is a useful and important characteristic for your future success and the achievement of your goals. This patronus will help you when you are doubtful of your abilities. It will remind you that you are capable and can do anything you set your mind to.
Basset Hound
Those with the Basset Hound as a Patronus are usually very smart and do well in their hobbies and academics. They thrive on a well-thought-out work schedule. Bassett Hound people are notoriously stubborn. This can be a good thing because they will stand behind their belief or friends no matter what. Though sometimes their hard head is difficult to sway even if the facts point in the other direction. They can be extremely loyal to their friends, will do anything for them and they tend to be prepared to go above and beyond to help them. They're defined by their loyalty and determination to do what is right. No matter the consequences Bassett Hound people will do the right thing, even if it meant to leave their friends behind. A Bassett Hound as a Patronus is great. These people love having fun, have good humor, and are as kind as they are stubborn.
Bat (unusual)
The bat is considered an unusual patronus to have by Pottermore, and that seems to be the case outside it as well. Few take to the bat, and the bat takes to few people in turn. Bats tend to gravitate strongly to their own sort and are very social within their circles. They are often misunderstood or even feared by others, but this is rarely warranted. They are sensitive individuals with excellent intuition and a keen knack for divining what is really happening. Bats are seekers of truth and will attempt to adhere to honesty in all things, at all times. They will not take anything by half. Steeped in mythology regarding visions and dreams, those who live with the bat as their patronus may have found themselves being called upon by others for guidance or to see the heart of a matter. You know who you are, but most people in your mind don’t deserve to know that. It’s perfectly all right if people have to keep guessing with you. This guardian will come to your aid when you are at your lowest to remind you that you will always be one step ahead of whomever you’re facing because only you know what you are capable of. It will fly out of your wand right at your enemy, blinding it and confusing it, before swooping back to your side to help you rise to your feet again.
Bay Mare/Stallion
The horse in general is representative of power, freedom, and nobility of spirit. People with a horse patronus likely value their freedom and want to live life in their own ways without being controlled by another. They tend to be excellent companions, and passionate individuals that refuse to be tied down by things that chafe their nature. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Bay horses in particular mean steady progress and a reliable, well-balanced person that is well on their way to something good. Having a Bay Stallion (or Mare) as your Patronus means you find comfort in fortitude. True to your house, you are a determined, driven person. You chase your goals passionately, and nothing brings you more joy than achieving victory after a lot of hard work. You aren’t the sort to take the easy way out – part of what makes a victory meaningful to you is how many hurdles you had to surmount to get there, and if it’s easy, then it cheapens the result. Fortunately, you are more than resourceful, proud, and strong enough to plow through difficult times. Should you ever find yourself chained up by manacles of despair that drain your resolve, this Patronus will come to your rescue. It will charge out of your wand like a force of nature, galloping toward your enemy with enough ferocity to make it shrink back, before plowing back over to your side, chomping down on your bonds and shattering them with its teeth. It will bump its nose beside your cheek, telling you to get up – how in the world can you let something this pathetic take you down? And although the tone will be slightly gruff, it’ll be just the push you need – your pride will recover and you will lift your head up high, your eyes blazing with just as much passion and vigor as your Patronus’s.
Beagle
Those with a beagle are inquisitive, focused, free spirits that enjoy being part of a tight group, yet still manage to be themselves. They may adhere to the rules of another for a time, but if they don’t like the situation then that likely won’t last long. Beagles just have to be themselves and there’s no one out there that can stop them permanently. Beagle people are enthusiastic about their hobbies and can be quite excitable when the situation calls, but may have a tendency of taking on more than they can deal with. While they can be wary of strangers, they will gladly do anything for someone they care about if it means making them happy. Like all dogs, they tend to be very kind, friendly, and loyal to those they love. You are a very charismatic and caring person, but the people who know that best are the people you love. You show a great sense of charity and selflessness and you find comfort in bringing happiness to others. You may be a little protective of your family, but you’re not really possessive – you just want to make sure that they achieve happiness just as much as you do. When you lose your way in the darkness of despair, this Patronus will leap to your rescue, a friend in need in any kind of weather. It will bark encouragingly at you as it bounds around your legs, and despite yourself, you’ll smile at the sight. It will bring back joy to you, and so you will be ready to fight back against the darkness with a huge, confident smile on your face.
Black and White Cat
They embody the dichotomy of existence, being revered as divine in some places, but looked upon with suspicion of evil in others. Cats are aloof, yet affectionate. Distant, yet loyal. Skilled hunters, but nurturing companions. Most are quite clever, if not outright intelligent, and a cat person having a good sense of guile or wit is not uncommon. Black and white cats in particular hit on the “guardian” aspect of their animal, having better luck in general avoiding or weathering bad things, as well as likely having something good in their future to look forward to. They tend to be well-balanced individuals with a good sense of duty and a tendency to be creative and look outside the box. Having a black and white cat as your Patronus means you find comfort in balance. Appropriate to your house, you have no fear of the darkness – you appreciate the mysterious and the unknown and love reveling in it. At the same time, though, you also can appreciate the other side and enjoy the simplicity and morality of light. You likely are a Neutral sort, whether you are Lawful Neutral enough to color in the lines or Chaotic Neutral enough to just not care what people think of you. Regardless you make your choices with a lot of inner thought and deliberation, patiently biding your time for your best opportunities and listening to all the options before making up your mind. This also makes you incredibly flexible and open to new points of view. Should you ever find yourself trapped in a cage of despair and hopelessness, this Patronus will come for you, bringing light where there are dark and deepening shadows where there is relentless light. It will make your vision clear again and help you reestablish your footing so that you can leap back to your feet and take down your adversary.
Black Bear (unusual)
The bear is a patronus of great might, generally aligning with those of great confidence and power. Bear people enjoy their alone time and can contentedly spend a great deal of time in reflection and contemplation. Despite this, they often do excellently in leadership roles, whether they seek such positions or not. Bears are stable people with grounded personalities and an impressive reserve of inner strength. It’s not unusual for a bear to share this trait to help others grow and heal in difficult times. Though balanced, bears also have a tinge of spontaneity about them, and they frequently surprise people with things that may be difficult to predict. Black bears in particular tend to be quite clever and resourceful and often enjoy the healthy challenge of getting what they’re after. Bears in general are associated with strength and courage. Unlike their cousins the brown bears, American black bears are not very social creatures and can be quite territorial, though when they do congregate with their own kind, they often develop a strict hierarchy with the strongest males leading the group. Having a Black Bear as your Patronus means you find comfort in inner strength. Appropriate to your house, you are an individualistic person, and you are very grounded in who you are. You may not be the biggest fish in the pond or have the most friends, but you have a big personality. Your heart beats like a drum and you follow it at your own rhythm. You can also be very protective of your own interests – not just your ambitions, but also your friends’ and family’s well-being – and can bite back hard when you’ve been slighted. Should you ever come under threat, this Patronus will come to protect you, teeth bared, and stand before you like a shield. And God, help anything that tries to broach it.
Black Mamba
Snakes are symbolic of change, energy, healing, fertility, and the duality of good and evil. Having a Black Mamba as your Patronus means you find comfort in being ahead. You are a chess master of sorts, able to manipulate people and circumstances the way you want, and you are very confident when you know you have control over a situation. Now this can sound rather nasty on the face of things, but your liking control also means you are a very responsible person. You like to fix problems and heal divides. You also have a perfectionist streak, which makes you pursue your ambitions with gusto. When the fires of doom are flickering in your eyes and the end seems near, this Patronus will sweep from your wand in a flash of white, silently coming up beside your opponent and then striking, its inky mouth wide and its fangs bared. And as it takes down the threat, you’ll have the time you need to collect yourself. The upper hand will be yours once again, and you will win. Snakes are powerful symbols, and those whose patronus takes the form of a serpent tend to also be powerful people in kind. The black mamba is unique in that it only forms for those who show a special kind of mind. Though gentle friends and purveyors of entertainment of the mental sort, black mambas are cunning, patient individuals that can hold onto grudges for a very long time if wronged. While they tend to be quiet, sometimes even shy, and not be wont to impose, it doesn’t mean that they can’t get things done. When applied correctly, a black mamba has the potential to be a master planner, calculating and observant, willing to stay close to even their rivals if it means achieving what they’re trying to do.
Black Mare/Stallion
Horses are powerful free spirits that refuse to be tied down by others for long. They tend to be passionate people that make excellent friends with lots of energy that fuels others’ enthusiasm and creativity. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Black horses are quite independent and mysterious with a certain allure to them. They are more likely to march to the beat of their own drum than other horse types and tend to be very individualistic and strong of conviction, willing to bend to certain things for others but rarely making compromises on who and what they are, as if saying, “I am simply me.” The Black Horse is both death-defying and death-seeking and is symbolic of both death and rebirth. It signifies the closing of one door and the opening of another. It can also signify the need for you to take a leap of faith and trust what you are being guided to do even if you can’t see the reason or the result. Having a black horse as your Patronus means you find comfort in the unknown. Death doesn’t scare you, and for you, as Dumbledore said, it is simply the next big adventure. You aren’t afraid of what you don’t know, in other words. You are a curious individual, who loves to discover new things. Things we don’t know much about like space and the deepest parts of the ocean not only intrigue you but also bring you a sort of comfort. For you, the fact that there are so many unknowns out there is encouraging because you think it’s important to always be in wonder of the complexity around you. It is in this complexity and wonder, that you find the beauty and meaning of life. The fact that we don’t know everything is a good thing to you, and you like knowing that there will always be more to discover and wonder at. Despite this, you do like to figure things out and understand the why behind them. You are highly curious and this complements your wonder at everything well because you understand that there is both beauty in the unknown and value in understanding it. This makes you someone who is pleasant to be around, because no matter what, you always seem to appreciate what’s around you. This sense of wonder at everything often rubs off on others and puts them in a better mood because who can be angry when “The human body is so complex and amazing… it's a scientific wonder that you’re even alive right now!” Such statements really do help put things in perspective for you and others, and help confirm that you are definitely someone who sees the big picture of it all. A lot of people don’t see the world the way you do and sometimes this can make it hard for them to understand where you’re coming from, but overall they appreciate having someone make them look at things differently. In moments when you feel misunderstood, don’t worry, your Patronus will be there to remind you of all the unknowns of the world and bring you back that sense of wonder and beauty that keeps you strong.
Black Swan
Those with a swan are likely very loyal people, sticking to those important in their life through thick and thin, and protecting them in any way they can. Black swans sometimes have negative connotations, but it doesn’t have to be thus. They are very loving people but can take a while to open up, meaning not everyone gets to see this side of their personality which can lead to false impressions. They tend to have a cool passion about them, leading them to pursue their goals and interests with a sort of natural furor, compared to the more calm pursuits of their white counterparts. It’s not uncommon for someone with a black swan to be “blunt”, giving and taking criticism with honesty and grace, but not afraid to tell things like they are. On the whole, they are quite deep, steadfast people with a desire to improve at the things they love. While swans have a graceful and gorgeous appearance, they are not to be taken lightly. These creatures are fierce but elegant; they are strong but beautiful. Swans are typically seen as symbols of grace and love, but anyone who has come in contact with a swan knows they can be very protective of themselves and their families. If your patronus is a black swan, you find a sense of comfort in the face of underestimation. That’s not to say you enjoy being underestimated, but that you are full of surprises. When someone believes you cannot do something, you prove that you can by doing it far better than they ever could. You are never one to start the debate (or the fight) but you are never afraid to finish it either. You never fear a challenge and know within yourself that you will always overcome adversity, no matter what the world believes or how the world sees you.
Blackbird
Having a Blackbird as your Patronus means you find comfort in insight. You are an incredibly perceptive person who does not fear the dark or mysteriousness and sees right through most deception with cool reason. Your great insight serves you well when you need to protect yourself and others – true to Slytherin house, you value your own and your family’s preservation. You can easily weed out the untrustworthy and call out those who could mean others harm. Should you ever be blinded and thrown backward in an endless, dizzying spiral of confusion, you needn’t ever fear. Your Patronus will fly out of your wand, swirling around you and slashing through the dementors’ gloom with its talons. Your vision will clear, and your reason will return. And once you can think clearly again, you can beat back your fears and take the reins of control away from them once and for all. The blackbird is the epitome of higher thought and ideals. It’s quite common for those with a blackbird patronus to be intellectual and incredibly deep thinkers, pondering over complex things and delighting in mental enlightenment. They’re sometimes seen as mysterious and detached from the world, as they are so often lost in the depths of their own heads. Blackbirds strive to better themselves in a myriad of ways, and most have amazing potential, whether apparent or initially hidden. It’s not uncommon for a blackbird to casually devour information on anything they come across, and some even treat it as a hobby. Despite the “dark” color, blackbirds are very “bright” and love to collect information on the world around them and beyond.
Bloodhound
Those with the Bloodhound as a Patronus are usually very smart and do well in their hobbies and academics. They thrive on a well-thought-out work schedule. Those with this Patronus are notoriously stubborn, which can be a good thing because they will stand behind their belief or friends no matter what. Though sometimes their hard head is difficult to sway even if the facts point in the other direction. Their devotion separates into two ways: they can be extremely loyal to their friends, will do anything for them and they tend to be prepared to go above and beyond to help them. The other side is their loyalty and determination to do what is right. No matter the consequences, people with the Bloodhound Patronus will do the right thing, even if it meant to leave their friends behind. Those with the bloodhound Patronus tend to be gentle, easy-going people with a talent for finding what they want and getting things done. It is difficult to dissuade a bloodhound from doing something they want to do, and they generally dislike leaving things unfinished. Bloodhounds tend to be quite patient and tenacious and are often willing to work for a long time at something to achieve what they want. It’s not uncommon to see a bloodhound person slowly chipping away at some project or problem with a calm satisfaction where other, more impatient people would have long given up in frustration. Though a side effect is that the person may need a reminder to stop to eat or do other things now and then. Like all dogs, they are kind, friendly, and loyal to those they love, sticking with their chosen people through thick and thin.
Borzoi
That those who take the form of dogs tend to be friendly and loyal is no secret. The borzoi dog usually marks someone who is also easy-going, often quiet, and possessed of a good sense of humor. They have active, intelligent minds and are experts at amusing themselves and being content alone or with others. Rare is the borzoi that can manage to keep themselves bored for long. The tendency to find humor in almost anything is also common in borzois, from the mundane to the macabre. Though, naturally, the range depends on the individual. The humor comes with a helping of class and, when appropriately applied, they are quite eloquent people that can navigate difficulties in life with easy grace. You are a versatile person, laid back, okay with hanging around the house or going on an adventure, whatever mood strikes you. That being said you can’t take too much of one thing at a time. You need a chance to run around and be crazy, then recover and relax. You get along with lots of different people because of your go-with-the-flow attitude but are just fine with being with yourself and doing your own thing. You have a fancy side, proudly showing off your best features. You know your own worth and have no trouble reminding others of that. While you are laid back, you still put your goals first and might put too much pressure on yourself. Your patronus will remind you, when you are stressed and lost, not knowing what to do, to calm down, breathe and know how capable you are. You will be able to collect your thoughts and continue to succeed at what you do.
Brown Bear
The bear is indicative of someone with a great reserve of patience and inner strength. Bears do often well in leadership roles, though are more than content alone, happily spending their time in reflection and contemplation. They are confident, stable people that others may gravitate to in trying times for stability and healing. Though their quiet nature and tendency to spend time away from the crowd can lead to others thinking they are stern or anti-social, bears are often friendly and curious and can surprise even those that know them best with something they didn’t think of. Brown bears are known to be the “warriors” of the bear archetype, standing their ground and facing danger to protect others or do what they believe is right, not backing down no matter the danger. Bears are associated primarily with strength and courage. Having a Brown Bear as your Patronus means that you find comfort in size. You have a large personality and you have no trouble taking over the room when you so choose. Being a big fish in the small pond gives you both the attention you enjoy as well as the distance that you sometimes need, and you always have a choice if you want one more than the other at a particular moment. Should you ever feel small and insignificant compared to the overwhelming, all-encompassing night, your Patronus will roar out of your wand and shield you with its body as if you were its own cub. No demon or fear would be able to touch you with this guardian protecting you.
Brown Hare
The swift hare is very commonly associated with haste, fertility/rebirth, change, and life. People who partner with the hare are diligent, efficient individuals. They tend to be quite ambitious and, while sometimes impatient, manage to also often have an excellent sense of timing. People of the hare tend to have lives full of change, whether they cause it or not, and so have had to learn to quickly adapt at paces that may leave the heads of others spinning. They are very sensitive to their surroundings and things happening in their lives and can be much quicker than others to act as a result. Hares and rabbits are symbolic of fertility and spring, largely thanks to their well-documented ability to multiply. They have also sometimes been associated with rebirth. Having a brown hare as your Patronus means you find comfort in asserting yourself. You are a quiet person by nature and have little interest in chasing the spotlight. you are unassuming and your ambitions are not grandiose in scale. But underneath this quiet exterior, you are tough as nails. Your goals may not be earth-shattering, but they are yours, and you will chase them with speed and precision. People might try to hunt you down and make you conform to their expectations, but they are fools to even try, for you are more than fast and determined enough to leave them in your dust. Should you ever find yourself hunted down by the shadows and monsters of the night, this Patronus will hop out of your wand, bouncing around you quick as lightning and landing its back paws into the face of your enemy. No way is anything going to come in ten feet of you! Its confidence in this will embolden you, and soon you’ll be ready to kick back just as hard.
Brown Owl (unusual)
Brown owls are incredibly intelligent and protective animals. So as a patronus, it can represent an owner who is just that. Other than being protective and intelligent, this patronus can represent an owner who is very wise, sociable,a very good leader, and is always willing to lead, as long as the people who they are leading want them as a leader. The owner finds intense comfort in leading and protecting others. They also find comfort in the wisdom of others. This Patronus represents a person who is incredibly intelligent and wise, but they use these attributes to their advantage. This also means that when the owner of this patronus thinks of a new and creative idea, they will stand by it, and prove that it is a great idea. Owls are very important in the wizarding world. Acting as pets, companions, and messengers, very few could get through their day without the ever-present owl post. Naturally, it’s also a very nice Patronus to have. The quick-witted owl people are visionaries and guardians, looking to protect things they think are important and seeing beyond first impressions. They are bright and intelligent, and often wise beyond their years. This, of course, doesn’t just apply to schoolwork; many owls look beyond the mundane and positively excel in their own chosen fields or areas of interest when they apply themselves to them. Brown owls in particular are extremely loyal and protective, sticking by those they love and not letting anything ever harm them, yet never letting themselves get taken for granted. They are also fiercely independent and tend to carefully pick who they spend their valuable time with. A person with a brown owl Patronus is a lucky friend to have. Having a Brown Owl as your Patronus means that you find comfort in your belongings. You are a slightly possessive person, who finds contentment in material possessions and strong friendships. Your materialism, however, is not greedy – you make a lot of emotional connections with your home and personal belongings, holding onto mementos of good times and heirlooms from generations past. You hold onto things not because they are valuable to the world at large, but because they’re valuable to you. Your needs, however, are not grandiose – you are still wise enough to prune what must be pruned and only keep the things that matter most, as well as maintain and care for those things. You also do the same with the few who earn your friendship. You care for them and protect them with all of your heart. Sometimes you have trouble sharing the people and things you love with others. Should you ever feel the constricting hands of despair clutching at your throat, this Patronus will soar to your rescue. It will envelop you in the warmth and comfort of home. It will encompass you like a cocoon and bring the smile back to your face before you are ready to face your enemy and bring about the death foretold to it by your guardian’s arrival.
Buffalo (unusual)
Few possess just the right strength of character for their Patronus to take the form of a buffalo. Those that do are dedicated individuals who are fiercely protective of those close to them, and not in a general way, either. Anyone foolish enough to attempt to harm another under a buffalo’s care is unlikely to come out unscathed. They are fighters, and it’s not uncommon for a buffalo to have their own personal code or way of acting to which normal morality simply doesn’t apply, which can be dangerous even for the buffalo. When all is well, they are placid but often outgoing, with strong personalities, and who like having fun with those they bond to. However, going too long without contact with friends or family can lead to a buffalo feeling anxious or sad, and they will usually be at their best when sharing time with others. They are steadfast friends that enjoy being helpful and lending a hand to complete a task, or just making someone feel better. The buffalo is full of many feelings, the strong stature of them showing through a person in this way. They try to appear stoic, but it often backfires and they wear their hearts on their sleeves. They are passionate about everything they do and headstrong. They make sure their opinions are known by all that they concern themselves with because they want to show that they are not weak. They feel as though their emotion and lack of control over it does in a way give them weakness, and it angers them greatly. They have strong tempers that are easy to lose.
Buzzard
Known for their keen powers of intuition and observation, buzzard people are very perceptive and can see what others miss. Whether it be a small detail, something with the entire whole, or sometimes both, buzzards not only have the ability to pick up on important things but can also often quickly deal with any issue they have managed to spot. They are very focused and honest people and generally prefer to see things as they are or could be, not what they/others wish to see. Often intense and rarely dull, buzzards manage to stand out simply by the vast range of people they can find themselves with. Having a buzzard as your Patronus means that you likely find strength and/or comfort in solitude. You like to spend time alone instead of trying to navigate large groups and crowds. Alone, you are able to read, listen to music, draw, or whatever other fun activity you enjoy. For you, solitude is a time to recharge and breathe. It’s important to remember that solitude does not equal loneliness. Being lonely is not a choice, solitude, choosing to spend time by yourself, is. Accordingly, enjoying time alone does not mean that you have no friends. Quite the opposite! As any Hufflepuff does, you likely have quite a few friends, you just find that you can enjoy their company and contributions more if you’re only with a few at a time and not a whole group. Despite the way you might try to avoid larger groups, crowds, or bigger enemies, there might be times when they are unavoidable. That is why your patronus is here. When your enemies begin to crowd you from all sides, your patronus will shoot from your wand and help you hold them off. The buzzard will make sure that no enemy, no dementor, can get too close. And, like the true harbinger of death that it is, it will help you fight through to see the sun rising and the end of the battle.
[/PTab={tab-selected-background-color:#333333; tab-hover-background-color:#ae2851; tab-selected-font-size:18px;}]The aardvark has been long associated with courage, fearlessness, and not letting obstacles get in the way of a goal. Few things will stop a determined aardvark from getting what it wants. Those who identify with the aardvark will exhibit similar traits, refusing to let even the worst things get to them in pursuit of their goals. Aardvarks are first and foremost survivalists and are all-around tenacious individuals. If you managed to get the tough aardvark as a patronus, you are likely also a very tough person. Note that this does not necessarily translate to only the physical; those that have suffered great losses or difficulties and managed to carry on regardless, head held high, also show the strength of character that the aardvark exhibits.
Abraxan Winged Horse (very rare)
A breed of winged horse, gigantic in size and extremely powerful. They are selective eaters and usually require forceful handling. As a Patronus, they represent power, determination, and a free spirit. If your Patronus is an abraxan-winged horse, you find comfort in solitude. When you can step back on your own and take a deep breath, you can collect your thoughts and reach your peak performance. While you work well with others, you also enjoy being able to do your own thing, as that’s when you’re able to work without bounds and get things done your own way. This does not mean you’re unfriendly or do not enjoy working with others; in fact, you do quite well in groups or as a part of a team. You’re a great leader, actually. But if given the chance to work alone, you know that is what will bring out your best.
Adder (types of snake)
A powerful symbol in most cultures, with meanings like fertility, healing, change, energy, and the duality of good and evil. Having an Adder Patronus means you find comfort in change. You are incredibly flexible, but also sometimes can be cautious and can resist the pull of time – you, however, do not fear the never-ending wheel, seeing it as your wheel of fortune. Anything can happen – that is exciting and comforting to you. You never have to feel locked in or trapped, which appeals to your Thunderbird love of exploration. This guardian will always heal your emotional wounds and remind you that there is always a way out of whatever bad situation you get into and that for every evil there is in the world, there is also some good.
Albatross
If you have produced an albatross Patronus, perhaps you have a happy-go-lucky personality and enjoy throwing caution to the wind. The Dementors would be unlikely to get you down with this giant feathered friend soaring in to save the day. The albatross has long been considered a symbol of good luck, particularly by those who work on or travel at sea. People of the albatross are calm and graceful, with a great endurance that allows them to cruise through difficulties or lengthy endeavors with an ease that many wish they had. They generally try to bring fortune and some of that ease to the people in their lives and are often relied upon as a stable “rock” for others to gravitate to in troubling times. It’s not unusual for an albatross to live a long life and has some of its calming nature rub off on those whose lives they touch in turn.
Badger
Badgers are known for their aggressiveness and territorial behaviors. They have no problem staking their claim and defending what is theirs. They represent determination, focus, and self-expression. They also symbolize persistence, strong will, and confidence. The badger’s totem meaning is to focus on your goals and to have faith in your abilities. Having this animal as your Patronus means you know what you want and are not afraid to go for it. You know your priorities and what you need to do for yourself and your family. You are independent and would rather help others than need them to help you. You are comfortable with who you are and in your beliefs. You don’t need others' approval or validation and put more value on self-worth. You may have trouble with listening to others and can be a bit stubborn, but you never give up and work for your goals. This is a useful and important characteristic for your future success and the achievement of your goals. This patronus will help you when you are doubtful of your abilities. It will remind you that you are capable and can do anything you set your mind to.
Basset Hound
Those with the Basset Hound as a Patronus are usually very smart and do well in their hobbies and academics. They thrive on a well-thought-out work schedule. Bassett Hound people are notoriously stubborn. This can be a good thing because they will stand behind their belief or friends no matter what. Though sometimes their hard head is difficult to sway even if the facts point in the other direction. They can be extremely loyal to their friends, will do anything for them and they tend to be prepared to go above and beyond to help them. They're defined by their loyalty and determination to do what is right. No matter the consequences Bassett Hound people will do the right thing, even if it meant to leave their friends behind. A Bassett Hound as a Patronus is great. These people love having fun, have good humor, and are as kind as they are stubborn.
Bat (unusual)
The bat is considered an unusual patronus to have by Pottermore, and that seems to be the case outside it as well. Few take to the bat, and the bat takes to few people in turn. Bats tend to gravitate strongly to their own sort and are very social within their circles. They are often misunderstood or even feared by others, but this is rarely warranted. They are sensitive individuals with excellent intuition and a keen knack for divining what is really happening. Bats are seekers of truth and will attempt to adhere to honesty in all things, at all times. They will not take anything by half. Steeped in mythology regarding visions and dreams, those who live with the bat as their patronus may have found themselves being called upon by others for guidance or to see the heart of a matter. You know who you are, but most people in your mind don’t deserve to know that. It’s perfectly all right if people have to keep guessing with you. This guardian will come to your aid when you are at your lowest to remind you that you will always be one step ahead of whomever you’re facing because only you know what you are capable of. It will fly out of your wand right at your enemy, blinding it and confusing it, before swooping back to your side to help you rise to your feet again.
Bay Mare/Stallion
The horse in general is representative of power, freedom, and nobility of spirit. People with a horse patronus likely value their freedom and want to live life in their own ways without being controlled by another. They tend to be excellent companions, and passionate individuals that refuse to be tied down by things that chafe their nature. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Bay horses in particular mean steady progress and a reliable, well-balanced person that is well on their way to something good. Having a Bay Stallion (or Mare) as your Patronus means you find comfort in fortitude. True to your house, you are a determined, driven person. You chase your goals passionately, and nothing brings you more joy than achieving victory after a lot of hard work. You aren’t the sort to take the easy way out – part of what makes a victory meaningful to you is how many hurdles you had to surmount to get there, and if it’s easy, then it cheapens the result. Fortunately, you are more than resourceful, proud, and strong enough to plow through difficult times. Should you ever find yourself chained up by manacles of despair that drain your resolve, this Patronus will come to your rescue. It will charge out of your wand like a force of nature, galloping toward your enemy with enough ferocity to make it shrink back, before plowing back over to your side, chomping down on your bonds and shattering them with its teeth. It will bump its nose beside your cheek, telling you to get up – how in the world can you let something this pathetic take you down? And although the tone will be slightly gruff, it’ll be just the push you need – your pride will recover and you will lift your head up high, your eyes blazing with just as much passion and vigor as your Patronus’s.
Beagle
Those with a beagle are inquisitive, focused, free spirits that enjoy being part of a tight group, yet still manage to be themselves. They may adhere to the rules of another for a time, but if they don’t like the situation then that likely won’t last long. Beagles just have to be themselves and there’s no one out there that can stop them permanently. Beagle people are enthusiastic about their hobbies and can be quite excitable when the situation calls, but may have a tendency of taking on more than they can deal with. While they can be wary of strangers, they will gladly do anything for someone they care about if it means making them happy. Like all dogs, they tend to be very kind, friendly, and loyal to those they love. You are a very charismatic and caring person, but the people who know that best are the people you love. You show a great sense of charity and selflessness and you find comfort in bringing happiness to others. You may be a little protective of your family, but you’re not really possessive – you just want to make sure that they achieve happiness just as much as you do. When you lose your way in the darkness of despair, this Patronus will leap to your rescue, a friend in need in any kind of weather. It will bark encouragingly at you as it bounds around your legs, and despite yourself, you’ll smile at the sight. It will bring back joy to you, and so you will be ready to fight back against the darkness with a huge, confident smile on your face.
Black and White Cat
They embody the dichotomy of existence, being revered as divine in some places, but looked upon with suspicion of evil in others. Cats are aloof, yet affectionate. Distant, yet loyal. Skilled hunters, but nurturing companions. Most are quite clever, if not outright intelligent, and a cat person having a good sense of guile or wit is not uncommon. Black and white cats in particular hit on the “guardian” aspect of their animal, having better luck in general avoiding or weathering bad things, as well as likely having something good in their future to look forward to. They tend to be well-balanced individuals with a good sense of duty and a tendency to be creative and look outside the box. Having a black and white cat as your Patronus means you find comfort in balance. Appropriate to your house, you have no fear of the darkness – you appreciate the mysterious and the unknown and love reveling in it. At the same time, though, you also can appreciate the other side and enjoy the simplicity and morality of light. You likely are a Neutral sort, whether you are Lawful Neutral enough to color in the lines or Chaotic Neutral enough to just not care what people think of you. Regardless you make your choices with a lot of inner thought and deliberation, patiently biding your time for your best opportunities and listening to all the options before making up your mind. This also makes you incredibly flexible and open to new points of view. Should you ever find yourself trapped in a cage of despair and hopelessness, this Patronus will come for you, bringing light where there are dark and deepening shadows where there is relentless light. It will make your vision clear again and help you reestablish your footing so that you can leap back to your feet and take down your adversary.
Black Bear (unusual)
The bear is a patronus of great might, generally aligning with those of great confidence and power. Bear people enjoy their alone time and can contentedly spend a great deal of time in reflection and contemplation. Despite this, they often do excellently in leadership roles, whether they seek such positions or not. Bears are stable people with grounded personalities and an impressive reserve of inner strength. It’s not unusual for a bear to share this trait to help others grow and heal in difficult times. Though balanced, bears also have a tinge of spontaneity about them, and they frequently surprise people with things that may be difficult to predict. Black bears in particular tend to be quite clever and resourceful and often enjoy the healthy challenge of getting what they’re after. Bears in general are associated with strength and courage. Unlike their cousins the brown bears, American black bears are not very social creatures and can be quite territorial, though when they do congregate with their own kind, they often develop a strict hierarchy with the strongest males leading the group. Having a Black Bear as your Patronus means you find comfort in inner strength. Appropriate to your house, you are an individualistic person, and you are very grounded in who you are. You may not be the biggest fish in the pond or have the most friends, but you have a big personality. Your heart beats like a drum and you follow it at your own rhythm. You can also be very protective of your own interests – not just your ambitions, but also your friends’ and family’s well-being – and can bite back hard when you’ve been slighted. Should you ever come under threat, this Patronus will come to protect you, teeth bared, and stand before you like a shield. And God, help anything that tries to broach it.
Black Mamba
Snakes are symbolic of change, energy, healing, fertility, and the duality of good and evil. Having a Black Mamba as your Patronus means you find comfort in being ahead. You are a chess master of sorts, able to manipulate people and circumstances the way you want, and you are very confident when you know you have control over a situation. Now this can sound rather nasty on the face of things, but your liking control also means you are a very responsible person. You like to fix problems and heal divides. You also have a perfectionist streak, which makes you pursue your ambitions with gusto. When the fires of doom are flickering in your eyes and the end seems near, this Patronus will sweep from your wand in a flash of white, silently coming up beside your opponent and then striking, its inky mouth wide and its fangs bared. And as it takes down the threat, you’ll have the time you need to collect yourself. The upper hand will be yours once again, and you will win. Snakes are powerful symbols, and those whose patronus takes the form of a serpent tend to also be powerful people in kind. The black mamba is unique in that it only forms for those who show a special kind of mind. Though gentle friends and purveyors of entertainment of the mental sort, black mambas are cunning, patient individuals that can hold onto grudges for a very long time if wronged. While they tend to be quiet, sometimes even shy, and not be wont to impose, it doesn’t mean that they can’t get things done. When applied correctly, a black mamba has the potential to be a master planner, calculating and observant, willing to stay close to even their rivals if it means achieving what they’re trying to do.
Black Mare/Stallion
Horses are powerful free spirits that refuse to be tied down by others for long. They tend to be passionate people that make excellent friends with lots of energy that fuels others’ enthusiasm and creativity. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Black horses are quite independent and mysterious with a certain allure to them. They are more likely to march to the beat of their own drum than other horse types and tend to be very individualistic and strong of conviction, willing to bend to certain things for others but rarely making compromises on who and what they are, as if saying, “I am simply me.” The Black Horse is both death-defying and death-seeking and is symbolic of both death and rebirth. It signifies the closing of one door and the opening of another. It can also signify the need for you to take a leap of faith and trust what you are being guided to do even if you can’t see the reason or the result. Having a black horse as your Patronus means you find comfort in the unknown. Death doesn’t scare you, and for you, as Dumbledore said, it is simply the next big adventure. You aren’t afraid of what you don’t know, in other words. You are a curious individual, who loves to discover new things. Things we don’t know much about like space and the deepest parts of the ocean not only intrigue you but also bring you a sort of comfort. For you, the fact that there are so many unknowns out there is encouraging because you think it’s important to always be in wonder of the complexity around you. It is in this complexity and wonder, that you find the beauty and meaning of life. The fact that we don’t know everything is a good thing to you, and you like knowing that there will always be more to discover and wonder at. Despite this, you do like to figure things out and understand the why behind them. You are highly curious and this complements your wonder at everything well because you understand that there is both beauty in the unknown and value in understanding it. This makes you someone who is pleasant to be around, because no matter what, you always seem to appreciate what’s around you. This sense of wonder at everything often rubs off on others and puts them in a better mood because who can be angry when “The human body is so complex and amazing… it's a scientific wonder that you’re even alive right now!” Such statements really do help put things in perspective for you and others, and help confirm that you are definitely someone who sees the big picture of it all. A lot of people don’t see the world the way you do and sometimes this can make it hard for them to understand where you’re coming from, but overall they appreciate having someone make them look at things differently. In moments when you feel misunderstood, don’t worry, your Patronus will be there to remind you of all the unknowns of the world and bring you back that sense of wonder and beauty that keeps you strong.
Black Swan
Those with a swan are likely very loyal people, sticking to those important in their life through thick and thin, and protecting them in any way they can. Black swans sometimes have negative connotations, but it doesn’t have to be thus. They are very loving people but can take a while to open up, meaning not everyone gets to see this side of their personality which can lead to false impressions. They tend to have a cool passion about them, leading them to pursue their goals and interests with a sort of natural furor, compared to the more calm pursuits of their white counterparts. It’s not uncommon for someone with a black swan to be “blunt”, giving and taking criticism with honesty and grace, but not afraid to tell things like they are. On the whole, they are quite deep, steadfast people with a desire to improve at the things they love. While swans have a graceful and gorgeous appearance, they are not to be taken lightly. These creatures are fierce but elegant; they are strong but beautiful. Swans are typically seen as symbols of grace and love, but anyone who has come in contact with a swan knows they can be very protective of themselves and their families. If your patronus is a black swan, you find a sense of comfort in the face of underestimation. That’s not to say you enjoy being underestimated, but that you are full of surprises. When someone believes you cannot do something, you prove that you can by doing it far better than they ever could. You are never one to start the debate (or the fight) but you are never afraid to finish it either. You never fear a challenge and know within yourself that you will always overcome adversity, no matter what the world believes or how the world sees you.
Blackbird
Having a Blackbird as your Patronus means you find comfort in insight. You are an incredibly perceptive person who does not fear the dark or mysteriousness and sees right through most deception with cool reason. Your great insight serves you well when you need to protect yourself and others – true to Slytherin house, you value your own and your family’s preservation. You can easily weed out the untrustworthy and call out those who could mean others harm. Should you ever be blinded and thrown backward in an endless, dizzying spiral of confusion, you needn’t ever fear. Your Patronus will fly out of your wand, swirling around you and slashing through the dementors’ gloom with its talons. Your vision will clear, and your reason will return. And once you can think clearly again, you can beat back your fears and take the reins of control away from them once and for all. The blackbird is the epitome of higher thought and ideals. It’s quite common for those with a blackbird patronus to be intellectual and incredibly deep thinkers, pondering over complex things and delighting in mental enlightenment. They’re sometimes seen as mysterious and detached from the world, as they are so often lost in the depths of their own heads. Blackbirds strive to better themselves in a myriad of ways, and most have amazing potential, whether apparent or initially hidden. It’s not uncommon for a blackbird to casually devour information on anything they come across, and some even treat it as a hobby. Despite the “dark” color, blackbirds are very “bright” and love to collect information on the world around them and beyond.
Bloodhound
Those with the Bloodhound as a Patronus are usually very smart and do well in their hobbies and academics. They thrive on a well-thought-out work schedule. Those with this Patronus are notoriously stubborn, which can be a good thing because they will stand behind their belief or friends no matter what. Though sometimes their hard head is difficult to sway even if the facts point in the other direction. Their devotion separates into two ways: they can be extremely loyal to their friends, will do anything for them and they tend to be prepared to go above and beyond to help them. The other side is their loyalty and determination to do what is right. No matter the consequences, people with the Bloodhound Patronus will do the right thing, even if it meant to leave their friends behind. Those with the bloodhound Patronus tend to be gentle, easy-going people with a talent for finding what they want and getting things done. It is difficult to dissuade a bloodhound from doing something they want to do, and they generally dislike leaving things unfinished. Bloodhounds tend to be quite patient and tenacious and are often willing to work for a long time at something to achieve what they want. It’s not uncommon to see a bloodhound person slowly chipping away at some project or problem with a calm satisfaction where other, more impatient people would have long given up in frustration. Though a side effect is that the person may need a reminder to stop to eat or do other things now and then. Like all dogs, they are kind, friendly, and loyal to those they love, sticking with their chosen people through thick and thin.
Borzoi
That those who take the form of dogs tend to be friendly and loyal is no secret. The borzoi dog usually marks someone who is also easy-going, often quiet, and possessed of a good sense of humor. They have active, intelligent minds and are experts at amusing themselves and being content alone or with others. Rare is the borzoi that can manage to keep themselves bored for long. The tendency to find humor in almost anything is also common in borzois, from the mundane to the macabre. Though, naturally, the range depends on the individual. The humor comes with a helping of class and, when appropriately applied, they are quite eloquent people that can navigate difficulties in life with easy grace. You are a versatile person, laid back, okay with hanging around the house or going on an adventure, whatever mood strikes you. That being said you can’t take too much of one thing at a time. You need a chance to run around and be crazy, then recover and relax. You get along with lots of different people because of your go-with-the-flow attitude but are just fine with being with yourself and doing your own thing. You have a fancy side, proudly showing off your best features. You know your own worth and have no trouble reminding others of that. While you are laid back, you still put your goals first and might put too much pressure on yourself. Your patronus will remind you, when you are stressed and lost, not knowing what to do, to calm down, breathe and know how capable you are. You will be able to collect your thoughts and continue to succeed at what you do.
Brown Bear
The bear is indicative of someone with a great reserve of patience and inner strength. Bears do often well in leadership roles, though are more than content alone, happily spending their time in reflection and contemplation. They are confident, stable people that others may gravitate to in trying times for stability and healing. Though their quiet nature and tendency to spend time away from the crowd can lead to others thinking they are stern or anti-social, bears are often friendly and curious and can surprise even those that know them best with something they didn’t think of. Brown bears are known to be the “warriors” of the bear archetype, standing their ground and facing danger to protect others or do what they believe is right, not backing down no matter the danger. Bears are associated primarily with strength and courage. Having a Brown Bear as your Patronus means that you find comfort in size. You have a large personality and you have no trouble taking over the room when you so choose. Being a big fish in the small pond gives you both the attention you enjoy as well as the distance that you sometimes need, and you always have a choice if you want one more than the other at a particular moment. Should you ever feel small and insignificant compared to the overwhelming, all-encompassing night, your Patronus will roar out of your wand and shield you with its body as if you were its own cub. No demon or fear would be able to touch you with this guardian protecting you.
Brown Hare
The swift hare is very commonly associated with haste, fertility/rebirth, change, and life. People who partner with the hare are diligent, efficient individuals. They tend to be quite ambitious and, while sometimes impatient, manage to also often have an excellent sense of timing. People of the hare tend to have lives full of change, whether they cause it or not, and so have had to learn to quickly adapt at paces that may leave the heads of others spinning. They are very sensitive to their surroundings and things happening in their lives and can be much quicker than others to act as a result. Hares and rabbits are symbolic of fertility and spring, largely thanks to their well-documented ability to multiply. They have also sometimes been associated with rebirth. Having a brown hare as your Patronus means you find comfort in asserting yourself. You are a quiet person by nature and have little interest in chasing the spotlight. you are unassuming and your ambitions are not grandiose in scale. But underneath this quiet exterior, you are tough as nails. Your goals may not be earth-shattering, but they are yours, and you will chase them with speed and precision. People might try to hunt you down and make you conform to their expectations, but they are fools to even try, for you are more than fast and determined enough to leave them in your dust. Should you ever find yourself hunted down by the shadows and monsters of the night, this Patronus will hop out of your wand, bouncing around you quick as lightning and landing its back paws into the face of your enemy. No way is anything going to come in ten feet of you! Its confidence in this will embolden you, and soon you’ll be ready to kick back just as hard.
Brown Owl (unusual)
Brown owls are incredibly intelligent and protective animals. So as a patronus, it can represent an owner who is just that. Other than being protective and intelligent, this patronus can represent an owner who is very wise, sociable,a very good leader, and is always willing to lead, as long as the people who they are leading want them as a leader. The owner finds intense comfort in leading and protecting others. They also find comfort in the wisdom of others. This Patronus represents a person who is incredibly intelligent and wise, but they use these attributes to their advantage. This also means that when the owner of this patronus thinks of a new and creative idea, they will stand by it, and prove that it is a great idea. Owls are very important in the wizarding world. Acting as pets, companions, and messengers, very few could get through their day without the ever-present owl post. Naturally, it’s also a very nice Patronus to have. The quick-witted owl people are visionaries and guardians, looking to protect things they think are important and seeing beyond first impressions. They are bright and intelligent, and often wise beyond their years. This, of course, doesn’t just apply to schoolwork; many owls look beyond the mundane and positively excel in their own chosen fields or areas of interest when they apply themselves to them. Brown owls in particular are extremely loyal and protective, sticking by those they love and not letting anything ever harm them, yet never letting themselves get taken for granted. They are also fiercely independent and tend to carefully pick who they spend their valuable time with. A person with a brown owl Patronus is a lucky friend to have. Having a Brown Owl as your Patronus means that you find comfort in your belongings. You are a slightly possessive person, who finds contentment in material possessions and strong friendships. Your materialism, however, is not greedy – you make a lot of emotional connections with your home and personal belongings, holding onto mementos of good times and heirlooms from generations past. You hold onto things not because they are valuable to the world at large, but because they’re valuable to you. Your needs, however, are not grandiose – you are still wise enough to prune what must be pruned and only keep the things that matter most, as well as maintain and care for those things. You also do the same with the few who earn your friendship. You care for them and protect them with all of your heart. Sometimes you have trouble sharing the people and things you love with others. Should you ever feel the constricting hands of despair clutching at your throat, this Patronus will soar to your rescue. It will envelop you in the warmth and comfort of home. It will encompass you like a cocoon and bring the smile back to your face before you are ready to face your enemy and bring about the death foretold to it by your guardian’s arrival.
Buffalo (unusual)
Few possess just the right strength of character for their Patronus to take the form of a buffalo. Those that do are dedicated individuals who are fiercely protective of those close to them, and not in a general way, either. Anyone foolish enough to attempt to harm another under a buffalo’s care is unlikely to come out unscathed. They are fighters, and it’s not uncommon for a buffalo to have their own personal code or way of acting to which normal morality simply doesn’t apply, which can be dangerous even for the buffalo. When all is well, they are placid but often outgoing, with strong personalities, and who like having fun with those they bond to. However, going too long without contact with friends or family can lead to a buffalo feeling anxious or sad, and they will usually be at their best when sharing time with others. They are steadfast friends that enjoy being helpful and lending a hand to complete a task, or just making someone feel better. The buffalo is full of many feelings, the strong stature of them showing through a person in this way. They try to appear stoic, but it often backfires and they wear their hearts on their sleeves. They are passionate about everything they do and headstrong. They make sure their opinions are known by all that they concern themselves with because they want to show that they are not weak. They feel as though their emotion and lack of control over it does in a way give them weakness, and it angers them greatly. They have strong tempers that are easy to lose.
Buzzard
Known for their keen powers of intuition and observation, buzzard people are very perceptive and can see what others miss. Whether it be a small detail, something with the entire whole, or sometimes both, buzzards not only have the ability to pick up on important things but can also often quickly deal with any issue they have managed to spot. They are very focused and honest people and generally prefer to see things as they are or could be, not what they/others wish to see. Often intense and rarely dull, buzzards manage to stand out simply by the vast range of people they can find themselves with. Having a buzzard as your Patronus means that you likely find strength and/or comfort in solitude. You like to spend time alone instead of trying to navigate large groups and crowds. Alone, you are able to read, listen to music, draw, or whatever other fun activity you enjoy. For you, solitude is a time to recharge and breathe. It’s important to remember that solitude does not equal loneliness. Being lonely is not a choice, solitude, choosing to spend time by yourself, is. Accordingly, enjoying time alone does not mean that you have no friends. Quite the opposite! As any Hufflepuff does, you likely have quite a few friends, you just find that you can enjoy their company and contributions more if you’re only with a few at a time and not a whole group. Despite the way you might try to avoid larger groups, crowds, or bigger enemies, there might be times when they are unavoidable. That is why your patronus is here. When your enemies begin to crowd you from all sides, your patronus will shoot from your wand and help you hold them off. The buzzard will make sure that no enemy, no dementor, can get too close. And, like the true harbinger of death that it is, it will help you fight through to see the sun rising and the end of the battle.
[PTab=C - D]
Calico Cat
The cat is the watchful guardian of the patronus world, and embodies the dichotomy of things, often managing to be two opposing things at once. Fickle but somehow also loyal, they tend to be quite clever and alert individuals who know when to move and when to take it easy, and as such have excellent patience when it suits them. They may seem laid back but do not forget that the cat is a hunter. Calicos are hailed as extremely observant, lucky cats, and those with a calico may have an uncanny ability to make things happen or to affect outcomes to make them more favorable. Whether or not they actually move to do so depends on the person. Calicos can be quite rare as far as cats go but tend to be affectionate, “sweet”-natured people who bond well with others but still manage to maintain their independence. A calico patronus can also represent an owner who is extremely eccentric and doesn’t like being like everyone else. You, yourself, are an unpredictable person. People never know what to expect from you because at any given moment your opinions or look might change. You are very open to change and like to keep people guessing. You are also very multi-talented, and your interests can range from science nerd to basketball guru, and beyond. You often change your mind often about what you want to do because practically everything can be appealing to you, depending on the day. This can make you seem indecisive but really you just see opportunity in everything and have no problem adapting to seize that new opportunity as it comes. This spontaneous nature makes you someone who is willing to take chances and strive for the very best in whatever you choose to do. It also makes you a really fun, accepting friend who is always up for trying new things and meeting new people. Despite your love of spontaneity, when it comes to your friendships you are extremely loyal and, due to your accepting, open nature makes a great listener. Sometimes you get bored, but in those times, and all others, your Patronus will be there to soar forth and bring you unpredictable brilliance… what you thrive on.
Cheetah (unusual)
Those with this patronus are incredibly ambitious, and at times very impatient. They like their animal, have the tendency to rush into things, or want to get things done quickly. They often look at the big picture rather than the small details, and focus on this in everything they do. Those who are tedious test their patience and annoy them greatly. They are always looking to have a good time or jump into the next activity of their choosing. More than anything, cheetahs are associated with speed, which makes sense as they are the fastest land-based animal in the world. Behaviorally cheetahs are special among big cats for being diurnal (hunting and such during the day). Male cheetahs tend to be very sociable, whereas females tend to be solitary, and generally only male cheetahs tend to act territorial. In ancient times, cheetahs were tamed by humans, likely thanks in large part to the animal’s social nature, and were used for hunting by kings and queens. Because of this they also acquired the symbolism of royalty and elegance. Having a cheetah as your Patronus means you find comfort in your prowess. You know your strengths and talents and use them to get ahead of your competition. You are able to broadcast a great amount of confidence and sociability, to the extent that people may describe you as friendly, but anyone who underestimates you will be very sorry indeed. When you see something you want or decide something must be done, you blast off like a shot in pursuit of the goal, shoving past anyone in your way. Should you ever find yourself sinking in quicksand-like doubt, this Patronus will appear out of your wand like a flash, dashing around your opponent with ease and throwing it off its guard. It will then race around you so fast that, for a moment, all anyone will see is a circle of blazing white mist. That mist will be warm and comforting, and you’ll get back to your feet as your Patronus finally stops beside you, leering at your opponent. Now you two can combine your power and take down this threat together.
Chestnut Mare/Stallion
Horses overall are symbolic of freedom, victory, and adventure. The chestnut color also gives a horse additional symbolic traits like friendship, loyalty, and devotion. You find comfort in devotion and, once you are committed to something or someone, it becomes part of you, and you will fight for it with all of your fire. You find strength in your relationships and would always protect your loved ones from harm. Should you ever find your trust betrayed or find yourself alone and friendless, this Patronus will appear, reminding you of the strength one’s devotion instills in you. It will be completely loyal to you, standing beside you until you are likewise ready to return its faith and fight for yourself. If the chestnut mare is your patronus then it is likely you have an appetite for freedom. You have an adventurous heart and are often following your own path. Having a passionate heart is common in those with this patronus. Emotions run high and your heart is strong. If the chestnut mare is your patronus then you are very family and friend orientated and get a lot from social interaction.
Chow Dog
Chow dogs, like most dogs, tend to be kind and loyal but the chow comes with a bit of a twist to the usual friendly demeanor associated with the dog: The loyalty tends to only extend to those they have chosen to bond with, and they are fiercely protective of these individuals. They don’t usually bond too well with just anyone and tend to be aloof around those they do not yet know well. Chows may also chafe under authority if those in charge do not suit their taste or if they think the person in charge doesn’t seem to be a good leader. As such, they can be very stubborn and strong-willed in the face of anything from a small argument to some great danger. When at rest, they’re generally easy-going people, but an occasional temper in those with a chow patronus definitely isn’t unheard of. The Chow is a guardian, and having a sort of “charge” in their lives that they value/protect above all others isn’t too unusual. you find comfort in being alone. You enjoy your quiet moments of solitude to think and create, and too much socialization can have a negative effect on you. You are very dignified and reserved usually, especially towards strangers. You’re a very low-maintenance person as well and this makes your relationships with the few lucky enough to be in your inner circle very uncomplicated and chill. Despite your need for alone time you don’t mind being with these people you value, although you still can seem aloof even with them. You love them to death and would protect them at any cost. You are often suspicious of strangers and slow to open up. You generally keep to yourself and mind your own business. One of the main reasons you like your space though, is because you need it to think, something you do quite a lot of. You are highly intelligent and strong in your opinions and sometimes that can make it hard for you to mix with others, although you have good intentions. Your work ethic, determination, and independence, however, make you a very admirable person and someone with a lot of potential to succeed. Always remember, in moments when you feel shouted over and stressed, your Patronus will be there to bring you back the solitude and independence you so highly value, by banishing your foes!
Crow
Crows are often confused for ravens and generally are associated with much of the same symbolism (i.e. magic, the supernatural, precognition), but socially the two species could not be more different. Ravens are known as solitary birds, but crows are social, adaptable creatures who are opportunistic enough that they will eat anything and everything. There is also a fun myth centering around crows and the god Apollo, where the god tasked some of the birds – at that time a white color – to stand watch over his pregnant mortal lover. When the crows brought Apollo poor tidings, the god changed their feathers black in mourning…and thus crows are also considered sentinels. The crow is a very well-known bird that some believe is an omen of dark magic. But if this is your Patronus, don't fret! The crow is very resourceful, ambitious, and cunning. Once they set a goal, they always seem to get what they're after. Crows are also fearless. Having a Crow as your Patronus means you find comfort in opportunity. You have a keen eye and a sharp mind, and you are very good at sniffing out trouble and at determining which friends are keepers and which ones aren’t. You actually really like being around people and thrive in social situations. Your dark and mysterious air is not all that there is to you – you can be dependable and protective of the people and things you care about. you actually really like being around people and thrive in social situations. Your dark and mysterious air is not all that there is to you – you can be dependable and protective of the people and things you care about.
Dapple Grey Mare/Stallion
Having a dapple gray mare as a Patronus means that you find comfort in stability. Unlike others, who might thrive in lives full of quick changes and exciting upheavals, you find that you are most content when you can look around and find everything working just as it should be. This stability allows you to relax, gives you order, and allows you to move forward with your life by your own choice, not because of some random event that forced you to do so. This is important to notice and understand, as it is good to know both your strengths and your weaknesses. While abrupt change might not be welcoming to you, you’ll find that you’re often able to make grand strides forward with yourself, relationships, and projects, when your life is balanced and manageable. In battle, this patronus will be there for you whenever the fight turns unexpectedly. She will help you hold back the crushing waves of enemies, and together you will work together to bring balance back to the world you know and love. If the Dapple Grey Stallion is your patronus then you have a passionate soul. Your passion for the things you love is hard to beat, you become very involved in your friends, family, hobbies & study. People with a horse patronus likely value their freedom and want to live life in their own ways without being controlled by another. They tend to be excellent companions, and passionate individuals that refuse to be tied down by things that chafe their nature. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Bay horses in particular mean steady progress and a reliable, well-balanced person that is well on their way to something good.
Deerhound
As the owner of this patronus, you are brave and strong-minded. You never back down from a fight, or give up. You never take the short road, they to it right, or what’s the point of doing it at all? As the owner of this patronus, you find immense comfort in bravery and leadership, as a strong leader, you respond well to strong leadership around you. You also have an underlying sense of ambition and determination, that never allows you to give up, no matter the problem, no matter the situation. Matching with Ravenclaw this patronus allows you to think of creative ideas, to solve the unsolvable problems that make things difficult. This also allows you to bring wisdom to everything you do, you also have the intelligence, to know what you are talking about, and be able to talk well and confidently about whatever issue. A Deerhound patronus means you find comfort in giving protection. You love helping people and ensuring they are safe, whether it be by standing at their side amidst a dangerous situation or by giving them advice during their personal struggles. Your friends know they can count on you to help them in their time of need, and they know you will gladly lead them down the best path for them. As a Patronus, the Deerhound will be there for you to help shoulder this burden whenever it gets too heavy for you to carry alone. In battle, there might be times when you find enemies at every turn and begin to feel helpless. The Deerhound will spring from your wand in these moments of hardship and help you hold them off. With this patronus by your side, there is no battle, no challenge, that you will be unable to move forward from.
Doe (unusual)
Deer are peaceful creatures, often associated with vigilance and gentility. Having a Doe as your Patronus means you find comfort in grace – not the kind one would find in a dancer, but the kind you find in someone truly noble. You are someone with an almost royal bearing. It is hard to provoke you because you simply hold yourself too high to resort to jumping into petty fights or stupidly getting into trouble. Like Lily Evans, you are the sort of person who, upon being insulted, takes the high road in your response, rather than immediately whipping out your wand to retaliate. Your sense of honor and chivalry is also very well-suited to your house. Your guardian will appear to you when things are at their very bleakest, stepping out of nothingness with silent poise, and its very presence will make you straighten up that little bit more and hold your head up high as you again turn to face the pitch black. The doe is a soft and innocent patronus to have, and those with it reflect this greatly. They have a comforting, almost maternal way about them, and it can draw many to them, and this can cause them to have many friends and admirers. They are social people, but they are not too strong in this aspect immediately, instead being a bit hesitant before getting to know a person. They can sometimes form impressions of others before truly getting to do this, however, and can become stand-offish to these individuals.
Dolphin
Having a dolphin means that you are motivated by kindness and making sure others are okay before looking after yourself, which while some would see as a weakness, the dolphin appreciates it, and would look after you in return. Dolphins also like to play and have fun, and while you like to work, you also have to relax and have fun too! Your Patronus would absolutely leap to your rescue, should anything attack you, and if you were somehow unable to fight for yourself, it would make sure nothing bad would happen to you, and it would do its best to support you until you are ready to get back into the fight as they do for their families. You find great joy and pride in helping the ones you love and, to a lesser extent, others. You are very people-oriented and like being in social situations. This trait is very beneficial in helping you chase your dreams, as it means you’re quick to make new allies and friends. You like being important to the people around you and are proactive in making yourself useful. When you are forced into a storm of hopelessness and are having trouble coming up for air, this Patronus will swim to your rescue. It will help you on your feet, chirping at you of the others who need you…and with the fire rekindled inside, you will grit your teeth and stand and face the darkness with new determination.
Dragon (very rare)
Dragons are strong in their convictions and will stand for what they believe is right. Those with a dragon for a Patronus are sure to be fierce fighters, and the Dementors better be ready for a challenge! Typically you can be found hiding away and protecting whatever you value above all else. Protect you shall with all the courage you possess. You never back down once fully engaged in a fight until either you or the enemy is defeated. In regards to raw power, let's just say you have some to spare. The dragon represents an inner element, one that is prominent in people with this patronus. The element can vary, but quite often it is fire. There is a strong passion and ambition in this person and a fury like no other. This does not mean they are an angry person, though they do have a tendency to be temperamental, but merely that they have a drive that fuels them throughout their whole self. They can be impulsive, but luckily this is combined with good instinct and reaction, so they don’t find themselves regretting their choices very often. They tend to encase their emotions within themselves, and in that way can seem very cold and blunt.
Dragonfly
Having a dragonfly as your Patronus means you find comfort in being agile and always on the move. You need to keep busy, or else you feel like life is flying by you, and you like to know you’re using every moment to the fullest. It’s why you have no patience for slow walkers, people who stop suddenly in your path, or even people who can’t keep up. Your schedule is always full, of places to be, people to see, and things to do. The dragonfly will guide you, making sure you do stop in between, like relaxing on the bus on the way to meet your friends, getting a good night's sleep, and enjoying the next episode of that TV show you adore. Keep busy, but make sure you also find time for yourself. While first appearing numerous and predictable, the dragonfly is fiercely independent and unique. They tend to become bored easily, and because of that, they make friends with people who are their stark opposites. You may think that this makes them lead an unpleasant life, but they carry a sense of maturity and get along quite well with those around them, regardless of differing opinions.
Dun Mare/Stallion
Horses in general are symbolic of freedom, adventure, and victory. “Dun” is a term used for a certain shade of horse that mixes red and black pigments, resulting in darker faces and legs. The coloring gives the breed an association with wild horses, as many cave drawings depicting wild horses tend to use “dun-like” colors, and therefore dun horses are symbolic of prehistory and being untamed. Having a Dun Stallion (or Mare) as your Patronus means you find comfort in living on the wild side. You are not someone to take direction from anyone else – you have a lively and independent spirit and you go wherever the wind takes you. Unlike some of your Slytherin classmates, you can be a bit of a risk-taker, if it will help you get what you want. Like your classmates, however, this independent streak also makes you slow to trust – it takes you a while for someone to earn your respect and trust since you are not one to share your time with just anyone. Should you find yourself trapped in chains of depression and sorrow, struggling to get free, this Patronus will come for you. It will bound out of your wand, clopping around you and stamping its hooves on the ground. All at once, those chains will shatter like glass, and you will be free once more to fight back…and your Patronus will be the perfect steed to carry you to victory!

She will help you hold back the crushing waves of enemies, and together you will work together to bring balance back to the world you know and love. If the Dapple Grey Stallion is your patronus then you have a passionate soul. Your passion for the things you love is hard to beat, you become very involved in your friends, family, hobbies & study. People with a horse patronus likely value their freedom and want to live life in their own ways without being controlled by another. They tend to be excellent companions, and passionate individuals that refuse to be tied down by things that chafe their nature. Mares are associated with a gentleness and a connection to the spiritual, while stallions are associated with spiritedness and the physical world. Bay horses in particular mean steady progress and a reliable, well-balanced person that is well on their way to something good.
Deerhound
As the owner of this patronus, you are brave and strong-minded. You never back down from a fight, or give up. You never take the short road, they to it right, or what’s the point of doing it at all? As the owner of this patronus, you find immense comfort in bravery and leadership, as a strong leader, you respond well to strong leadership around you. You also have an underlying sense of ambition and determination, that never allows you to give up, no matter the problem, no matter the situation. Matching with Ravenclaw this patronus allows you to think of creative ideas, to solve the unsolvable problems that make things difficult. This also allows you to bring wisdom to everything you do, you also have the intelligence, to know what you are talking about, and be able to talk well and confidently about whatever issue. A Deerhound patronus means you find comfort in giving protection. You love helping people and ensuring they are safe, whether it be by standing at their side amidst a dangerous situation or by giving them advice during their personal struggles. Your friends know they can count on you to help them in their time of need, and they know you will gladly lead them down the best path for them. As a Patronus, the Deerhound will be there for you to help shoulder this burden whenever it gets too heavy for you to carry alone. In battle, there might be times when you find enemies at every turn and begin to feel helpless. The Deerhound will spring from your wand in these moments of hardship and help you hold them off. With this patronus by your side, there is no battle, no challenge, that you will be unable to move forward from.
Doe (unusual)
Deer are peaceful creatures, often associated with vigilance and gentility. Having a Doe as your Patronus means you find comfort in grace – not the kind one would find in a dancer, but the kind you find in someone truly noble. You are someone with an almost royal bearing. It is hard to provoke you because you simply hold yourself too high to resort to jumping into petty fights or stupidly getting into trouble. Like Lily Evans, you are the sort of person who, upon being insulted, takes the high road in your response, rather than immediately whipping out your wand to retaliate. Your sense of honor and chivalry is also very well-suited to your house. Your guardian will appear to you when things are at their very bleakest, stepping out of nothingness with silent poise, and its very presence will make you straighten up that little bit more and hold your head up high as you again turn to face the pitch black. The doe is a soft and innocent patronus to have, and those with it reflect this greatly. They have a comforting, almost maternal way about them, and it can draw many to them, and this can cause them to have many friends and admirers. They are social people, but they are not too strong in this aspect immediately, instead being a bit hesitant before getting to know a person. They can sometimes form impressions of others before truly getting to do this, however, and can become stand-offish to these individuals.
Dolphin
Having a dolphin means that you are motivated by kindness and making sure others are okay before looking after yourself, which while some would see as a weakness, the dolphin appreciates it, and would look after you in return. Dolphins also like to play and have fun, and while you like to work, you also have to relax and have fun too! Your Patronus would absolutely leap to your rescue, should anything attack you, and if you were somehow unable to fight for yourself, it would make sure nothing bad would happen to you, and it would do its best to support you until you are ready to get back into the fight as they do for their families. You find great joy and pride in helping the ones you love and, to a lesser extent, others. You are very people-oriented and like being in social situations. This trait is very beneficial in helping you chase your dreams, as it means you’re quick to make new allies and friends. You like being important to the people around you and are proactive in making yourself useful. When you are forced into a storm of hopelessness and are having trouble coming up for air, this Patronus will swim to your rescue. It will help you on your feet, chirping at you of the others who need you…and with the fire rekindled inside, you will grit your teeth and stand and face the darkness with new determination.
Dragon (very rare)
Dragons are strong in their convictions and will stand for what they believe is right. Those with a dragon for a Patronus are sure to be fierce fighters, and the Dementors better be ready for a challenge! Typically you can be found hiding away and protecting whatever you value above all else. Protect you shall with all the courage you possess. You never back down once fully engaged in a fight until either you or the enemy is defeated. In regards to raw power, let's just say you have some to spare. The dragon represents an inner element, one that is prominent in people with this patronus. The element can vary, but quite often it is fire. There is a strong passion and ambition in this person and a fury like no other. This does not mean they are an angry person, though they do have a tendency to be temperamental, but merely that they have a drive that fuels them throughout their whole self. They can be impulsive, but luckily this is combined with good instinct and reaction, so they don’t find themselves regretting their choices very often. They tend to encase their emotions within themselves, and in that way can seem very cold and blunt.
Dragonfly
Having a dragonfly as your Patronus means you find comfort in being agile and always on the move. You need to keep busy, or else you feel like life is flying by you, and you like to know you’re using every moment to the fullest. It’s why you have no patience for slow walkers, people who stop suddenly in your path, or even people who can’t keep up. Your schedule is always full, of places to be, people to see, and things to do. The dragonfly will guide you, making sure you do stop in between, like relaxing on the bus on the way to meet your friends, getting a good night's sleep, and enjoying the next episode of that TV show you adore. Keep busy, but make sure you also find time for yourself. While first appearing numerous and predictable, the dragonfly is fiercely independent and unique. They tend to become bored easily, and because of that, they make friends with people who are their stark opposites. You may think that this makes them lead an unpleasant life, but they carry a sense of maturity and get along quite well with those around them, regardless of differing opinions.
Dun Mare/Stallion
Horses in general are symbolic of freedom, adventure, and victory. “Dun” is a term used for a certain shade of horse that mixes red and black pigments, resulting in darker faces and legs. The coloring gives the breed an association with wild horses, as many cave drawings depicting wild horses tend to use “dun-like” colors, and therefore dun horses are symbolic of prehistory and being untamed. Having a Dun Stallion (or Mare) as your Patronus means you find comfort in living on the wild side. You are not someone to take direction from anyone else – you have a lively and independent spirit and you go wherever the wind takes you. Unlike some of your Slytherin classmates, you can be a bit of a risk-taker, if it will help you get what you want. Like your classmates, however, this independent streak also makes you slow to trust – it takes you a while for someone to earn your respect and trust since you are not one to share your time with just anyone. Should you find yourself trapped in chains of depression and sorrow, struggling to get free, this Patronus will come for you. It will bound out of your wand, clopping around you and stamping its hooves on the ground. All at once, those chains will shatter like glass, and you will be free once more to fight back…and your Patronus will be the perfect steed to carry you to victory!

Eagle
Eagles are magnificent birds of prey that can be found all over the world, and hold much symbolization, especially in Native American culture. Eagles hold a position of strength, leadership, and vision. They can spot prey from miles up in the sky, dive at striking speeds and soar for long periods of time. To the Natives, the eagle was the chief of all winged creatures and conveyed power and majesty from animal to animal, man to bird. There are many different species of eagles, each unique and adapted to its own habitat. Having an Eagle patronus means you are strong-willed and free, and aren’t afraid to try something new and soar to new heights. The whole world is about you, you cannot fence yourself in, and you long to see new things, but still take comfort in home and familiarity. You can be grounded when necessary, but take every opportunity to test the impossible. You’re a natural-born leader, and perhaps you can be bossy sometimes, but you like to be in control. Though you may not be overly social, you certainly have a few close friends that you can count on in times of need.
Eagle Owl
The eagle owl suggests the caster is highly analytically minded and decisive, although these are admirable traits, they can become stubborn and narrow-minded when frustrated making them lose sight of what's around them, leading to them being insensitive toward others. Having an eagle owl as your Patronus means that you are likely strengthened by creating a strong image for yourself. Now, that sounds a bit strange, but allow me to explain. This means that you are strongest when you are able to present yourself the way you want to without fear. You are strengthened by your own identity: knowing who you are, and not being afraid to share it. Eagle owls have very unique characteristics, and, accordingly, you recognize and value your own skills, personality, and unique traits. By knowing who you want to be, you’re not only able to become more confident but also brim with strength!

In battle, your patronus will make sure that you don’t become another face in the crowd, another name. It will help you stand your ground and establish the beauty that is your light within the darkness.
Elephant (unusual)
A witch or wizard with an elephant for a patronus can be extremely strong and not just physically, they are often wise and have strong spiritual connections with their communities and know where they lie within them. The elephant is a sign of strong femininity and affection. The Elephant is considered one of the most gentle and wise animals. It symbolizes power, compassion, commitment, strength, and love. It is revered in many cultures and religions like Buddhism and Hinduism and is very respected. Elephants are very intelligent and emotional creatures; they feel jealousy, rage, joy, and even love. Touching is an important form of communication for elephants, they even discipline their young with kicks or slaps. Elephants have been known to grieve and even become depressed if their young die. They travel in herds and are very ‘family oriented’ for lack of a better term. They raise their offspring until full adulthood, teaching and playing with them. Having an elephant as your Patronus means you are a very loving, gentle, caring person. You love with your whole self and give the people you love your all. You may be the ‘mom’ in your friend group; you take care of everyone, nurture and comfort them. You are an emotional person, very in touch with yourself. Because you are an emotional person, you put a value on expression and communication. You see the importance of speaking your mind and talking out your feelings. The elephant is not a simple creature and neither are you. You have a tough side to you along with the loving side; you are not afraid to speak up when something bothers you or hurts your feelings. People may underestimate you because of how nice you are, but you are quite fierce and protective when you want to be, and aren’t afraid to do what you know is best for you and your loved ones. When you are down and feel like you’re not needed, your patronus will remind you that you are loved, and you are important to all the people in your life.
Erumpent (very rare)
Having a magical beast as a Patronus is considered rare and powerful in the wizarding world. This animal looks like and is mistaken as a rhinoceros. Its hair, tails, and even exploding fluid is used in potions though considered dangerous. Being an erumpent patronus personality means you are strong and determined.
Falcon
Falcons are powerful, swift birds that typically live on shorelines and are some of the most skillful hunters in the world. Due to this extraordinary skill and speed, they have been used for hunting all throughout history, especially during medieval times. In fact, the sport of falconry was so esteemed that most royalty owned them, and the falcons were treated like royalty themselves. You are a passionate, driven person who needs to have some sort of clear purpose to feel satisfied. Being gifted with extraordinary boldness, you have no problem identifying and going after what you want. You will relentlessly pursue what you want with an intensity that few can match, making you both a formidable opponent and a reliable friend. This confidence can sometimes lead you into conflict, but it is a trait that many others admire. The courage and freedom that make up so much of who you are often rubbing off on other people you are around, inspiring them to, like you, follow their hearts, and go after what they truly want. With you, they begin to see the possibilities that life holds for them, beyond just the ordinary and mundane everyday existence and into the impossible. This suggests a potential for leadership, should you choose to take such a path. Despite your confidence and drive, however, you are not necessarily a competitive person. Instead, you value hard work and independent achievement, and as long as in the end, you’ve achieved what you call success, it doesn’t matter who won or not. If your Patronus is a falcon, you may have been a troubled soul who decided to cast away their old, evil habits to fly down the hard, right path. ... This Patronus represents a person that was born and/or has lived under pressing circumstances but overcomes every obstacle, getting stronger each day. This is a very honorable way to achieve and earns you the respect of many. Sometimes it can be hard for you to rely on others but always know that in life’s worst storms, your patronus will soar forth to remind you of the incredible vision, passion, and determination that makes you… you.
Field Mouse
Your Patronus is a field mouse! What a lovely patronus to have (and not lame at all!) The field mouse is a common type of mouse that tends to have brown or gray fur. The field mouse can also live just about anywhere! Like other mice, it tends to symbolize home, modesty, and determination. Having a field mouse as your Patronus means that you draw strength from inside of yourself. No matter how difficult the situation, you are always able to persevere and push through. Like your patronus, you are stronger than both you and others believe. We’ve all heard of the story where the elephant is scared of the mouse, and it couldn’t be more true! You and your Patronus prove that strength comes from the heart, not your size, and you are able to make even the worst enemies quake in their boots. Owners of a field mouse patronus are extremely loving and kind. Also, a field mouse patronus can represent an owner who is a very good listener and can tell what's wrong with someone, maybe before they even understand it themselves. Making them amazing friends. Just like the field mouse, you are constantly fighting to overcome challenges, but you always walk out stronger and smarter! In battle, your patronus is perhaps the mightiest of them all. No one expects such strength to come from one so small! Your patronus will always be there for you if you begin to doubt your own strength or if you ever feel weak or put down. It will remind you that your strength comes from inside of yourself, it isn’t dictated by anyone else.

Fire-dwelling Salamander (very rare)
Fire-dwelling salamanders differ from the salamanders of the muggle world, in that they are borne of fire. Their life can be extended by using pepper. Otherwise, their lives are only as long as that of the fire which birthed them. An analogous phenomenon is the shedding of skin, which muggle-world salamanders can do. Salamanders can thus be seen as a metaphor for reinvention, rebirth, and transience. Having a Fire-Dwelling Salamander as your Patronus means you find comfort in rebirth. You wholeheartedly embrace the idea that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and if you get knocked down, everyone knows you'll get right back up again. You radiate great strength and resilience no matter how bad things get. Should your soul ever be chilled by the winds of despair and hopelessness, your Patronus will appear to rekindle your faith, bounding around you as embers of light bound off of it. The embers will light up the night like stars that will then dissolve into your skin, and all at once, your eyes will be bright again with the kind of rare inner fire that only you possess. When faced with immense discomfort, they may make significant changes to their lives. They may choose to move to a new place, make new friends, or change their careers. Under the right circumstances, these are all healthy ways of removing toxicity from one’s life.
Fox
Foxes are famously depicted as tricksters, representing cleverness and adaptability. The animals themselves also tend to be very solitary creatures, though occasionally they’ll live in small, close-knit family groups, and they can live just about anywhere – in forests, in cities, whatever. Having a Fox Patronus means that you find comfort in defying people’s expectations. They’re really not malevolent creatures, but they aren’t really seen as benevolent either…but this kind of conflicting reputation isn’t a problem for you. Your enemies not having a good fix on you is a good thing, and it really doesn’t matter to you what the haters think, anyway. When you are at your lowest, trapped with no escape and with no hope of surmounting the odds, this guardian will be there to remind you that you were born to be the exception and that only you truly know what you can or cannot do. Having this trickster as your Patronus means you find comfort in being underestimated. This sounds bad, but when it is time to strike, people won’t see it coming and will be shocked at how well you can take on the task ahead, and their shock will translate into respect for you, your work ethic, and your love of being told how great you are at something, especially when you know they didn’t think you could do it!
Fox Terrier
This is a small yet fearless dog that loves being outside and around people. If you have this Patronus, you are spunky and loyal. They often attack smaller birds and chase them through the air, a feature that makes them the perfect Patronus. A fox terrier patronus could mean that you find comfort in companionship. Fox terriers worked alongside their owners to hunt foxes as a team; dogs, as a whole, are friendly and loving creatures, who require a lot of attention and care and thrive on interaction. You cherish connections and communication, but there’s nothing like the close bond that exists between best friends, siblings, or parent and child. You have a few immensely strong relationships, and those that exist you hold near and dear to your heart, as you’re always there for that person and you know they are here for you as well.

Ginger Cat
A cat Patronus is one of the strongest symbols of a personal and spiritual roller coaster that one could receive! It represents the need to balance the physical and the spiritual/subconscious part of your life, if you fail to do so you could end up living in an 'in-between world' so to enable focus and achieve your goals you must find this balance. A witch or wizard with a cat patronus is an intelligent one ( and they know it!) and refined and fiercely independent. Although they may have many friends, they may not need constant socialization. They need their 'me time' to keep themselves content emotionally. Having a ginger cat as a Patronus means that you likely find comfort in continuity. You like to have a planned schedule, and you aren’t a huge fan of giant events that come in and uproot your life. You like to enjoy life without having to worry about what might go wrong. This does not mean that you are boring. It just means that you like it when your life is organized and steady, not a giant, haphazard mess. As a Patronus, the ginger cat will be there whenever you lose control. Sometimes, life throws us curveballs. We can’t control them, and they make a mess out of something that we worked carefully to obtain. The ginger cat is there to help you get back on your feet after one of these curveballs. Your patronus will help you in battle whenever something unexpected happens, and it will make sure that you are always able to get back to your feet and continue to fight and do the things you love. You do best when there is a lot of activity around you and will always jump right into the heart of it. When your life takes a turn for the worse and everything turns to murky shadows, this Patronus will leap gracefully from your wand, bounding over your enemies’ heads and then back to your side. It will then curl up around your shoulders, hissing at your opponent, and through its misty white fur will come bright and sharp awareness that will help you wake up from the nightmare.
Goshawk
You find comfort in situations that challenge you and allow you to independently achieve. You may have workaholic tendencies that make you unable to loosen your grip on a project or ask for help because you are proud and passionate enough about your goals that you want to do it all by yourself. The nice thing about your singular focus, however, is that you are incredibly responsible and reliable – whenever something needs to be done, your friends and family can always count on you. If you should ever find yourself crippled and unable to escape the darkness encroaching toward you, this Patronus will soar out of your wand with a fierce cry. Its claws will slash at the dementors, beating them back, and then it will slash again, and again, and again, in swooping attacks. It won’t give up on you – and so you will be emboldened to not give up on it, either. Your independent nature and introverted tendencies make you someone who is content being alone and sometimes prefers it. When it comes to achieving, you can be quite reckless, willing to take risks that others are not willing to take. This can be a huge advantage, making you stand out in whatever you do. You are extremely determined when it comes to your goals, and will do practically anything to achieve them. Although you are not quick to trust others, you are also fiercely loyal to those you do love and will do anything to protect them. This makes you a very reliable, valuable friend. You can come off as aggressive, but really you are just confident in your own abilities,( rightly so, as you are known for your intelligence and skill) and it shows. All of these traits make you a fearless, adventurous person and someone anyone would be proud to work beside. Stay confident and fabulous and your patronus will be there for you in your darkest moments… reminding you of the independent, determined person you are.
Granian Winged Horse (very rare)
A Granian Winged Horse can represent an owner who is stronger-minded, the owner of this patronus will never give up on their opinion no matter how much others try to change their mind. The Granian winged horse is a creature exclusive to the Potterverse, and as such, there is little information about it. For now, we know it is a variety of Winged Horse or horses that can fly and they are related to the Thestral. The Granian winged horse is one of the four known breeds of winged horses. The Granian is the fastest of them all. Its coat is grey, as the name already says. They were mostly used to send messages before Floo calls, enchanted mirrors, and owl mail were invented. Granians can be quite slender in build, they are almost entirely muscle and are surprisingly hardy, and well able to survive the Scandinavian winters of their native lands. Of all things, however, Granians are most known for their speed, able to outpace most other breeds, even on ice. There have been attempts to breed this so-called “ice dancing” into an assortment of crosses, however, it seems the trait only remains in those with two Granian parents. Move quickly and rise to the top. These creatures need to have a regular Disillusionment charm cast on them regularly, and you can compete in a Winged Horse race with one, and the Granian variety is well renowned for their speed! Having this oddity for a Patronus means you find speed comforting. You can’t stand being stuck in traffic, or being held up for any reason! You’ve been known to huff a little when the elevator needs to make more stops than yours, and don’t like lines at all! This Patronus shows that you are willing to move fast in any and all things. Challenges, jobs, relationships, or school. It might mean you are stubborn and you refuse to let anything go. The Granian winged horse is extremely ambitious and intelligent, with goals set for themselves that others would deem impossible.
Grass Snake
Having a Grass Snake as your Patronus means you find comfort in escape. This fits very comfortably with Slytherin's love of self-preservation, but even with this, you are notably less likely to start a fight than many of your housemates. You are sensitive and flexible and will work hard to avoid direct confrontation. The grass snake is soft-spoken and kind. They’re down-to-earth, trustworthy, and friendly. Because of this, others try to walk on them, and use them to their advantage, but a grass snake is a great judge of character, and knows what is best for them and others when it comes to relationships. Like a snake shedding its skin, you likely have had your fair share of personal change and growth. Whether this is something simple, like cutting your hair, or something larger, like changing a harmful mindset or re-organizing your plan for your future, this is an incredible ability to possess and recognize. It takes a lot of strength to understand that you, as a human being, are constantly changing. That your ideas, values, and sense of self are never constant. Being able to change who you are, being able to transform into a happier, healthier person, is something that a lot of people struggle with. How strong you are, my friend, to be able to live so fluidly! You are doing the best you can to accept your place in the world and you understand that you might not be there yet. You understand, and you’re willing to give yourself more time to get there. As a Patronus, the grass snake will be there for you when you have trouble shedding your skin. Sometimes, change is hard, sometimes it hurts. As the owner of this patronus, you can also be incredibly feisty and strong-minded, you are incredibly willing to use the intelligence of others to make your opinion heard. Since you are always able to speak your mind, it makes your ability to share your intelligence and knowledge that much easier, it even makes you excited to share your intelligence.
Great Grey Owl (unusual)
Having this particular owl as your Patronus means you find comfort in solitude. People are fine, and you like your friends and family, but nothing is better than being alone for you. You’re more productive on a solo project (group projects are literally your worst nightmare), or when your door is shut and nobody is home to disturb you. Like the owl, you can be distant and seem wise beyond your years. The great grey owl patronus is cast by strong spirits who know who they are. Even with a strong personality, they are capable of incredible social mimicry. This means they are capable of adapting many different personality traits. This isn’t necessarily to please others and fit in, it just allows them to socialize easier. They are charismatic and friendly, but this doesn’t always mean they are extroverted. These witches and wizards are very bold. They will stand strong for what they believe in or for those they love and are very fierce protectors. It can come across as a shock seeing as how they normally camouflage their personalities in social settings. They will quickly abandon the act to defend their beliefs. Those who call a great grey owl are very free-spirited, but they will break their backs if they need to. They are strong both morally and in battle and make excellent duelists. You can thank their competitive nature and bold attitudes for their skill of dueling. These are definitely witches and wizards you want on your side.
Grey Squirrel
Having a Gray Squirrel for your Patronus means that you are comforted by the idea of having everything and anything you could ever need. That knowledge not only makes it easier to go off on daring adventures but also to escape from danger. The grey squirrel is a master at patience and hard work. Their dedication to a cause they see fit is admirable, to say the least, and they are loyal to the end, whether it be to a trustworthy friend or a new project. Sometimes they may become obsessed with one thing and forget about other matters, but you can be sure that their heart is always in the right place. Having a squirrel protect you in patronus form indicates an aggressive guardian, as they will attack easily, though they are affectionate and loyal to an owner and will make sure to share their supplies of food to make you happy after an attack, providing they haven’t forgotten where they stashed it. Enemies are quick to judge your kind nature and supposed inability to fight back, and therefore will judge your patronus as being too small to defend you, but fear not, they will, and people will quickly learn not to cross you again.
Greyhound
Having a Greyhound Patronus means you find comfort in nobility. Your Patronus also stands for faith, bravery, and devotion – in other words, chivalry – and so it is not just nobility of blood, but of spirit. The greyhound is primarily a racing dog, and they’re extremely agile, light, and lazy dogs, but unfortunately, many don’t recognize them for their true value as a companion, and only care for them if they can make money. Having this docile canine as your Patronus means you find comfort in feeling people appreciate and recognize your achievements. While you aren’t nearly as likely to boast, you do still like to feel like people care about you, and love you for your work and who you are as a person. Like a greyhound, you can race with the big dogs, but you also love lying on the sofa and basking in the sunshine. You don’t want people to think you are up yourself about your achievements and accomplishments; you prefer people to hear about it, and congratulate you, then move on and give you a hug because they care about you.
Hedgehog
Though a hedgehog is a pretty small animal, it can represent an owner who is not only happy-go-lucky, and kind but is very well-spoken, and confident about their opinion. A hedgehog patronus also represents an owner who is very optimistic and has a very positive outlook on life. Hedgehogs are small, earthy, self-sufficient creatures, symbolic of fertility, energy, protection, and intuition. Their natural resistance to snake venom is also why some cultures ascribe them the meaning of “good triumphing over evil.” It takes time to coax your Patronus out of his shell because he too will be scared by your adversary, but if you treat him well through his life, he will quickly turn and attack with his spines, which your enemy will hate getting all over themselves, giving you a chance to overwhelm the enemy. Make sure your reward your little guy with some food, a nice cuddle, and a belly rub after he has helped you, he has done his very best! Having a Hedgehog as your Patronus means you find comfort in birth and new beginnings. You are someone who loves starting new projects and new adventures. When you get stuck and it feels like everything has come to an end for you, this guardian will appear and bring with it endless possibility…the kind that will revitalize your spirit and make you feel like you’ve been reborn. Then, like the hedgehog, you will be able to resist whatever venom is thrust your way.
Heron (J.K. Rowling’s Patronus)
The heron is a creature of grace. It stands for wisdom, eloquence, and self-reliance. Your Patronus being a heron suggests that the traits of wisdom and individuality are very strong in you. You are likely an old soul and seem to possess words of knowledge that help you out in your time of need. In many different cultures, the Heron is a sign of prosperity, curiosity, determination, and perseverance. Herons are carnivorous birds that tend to sit motionless until they find a target, and some species use bait or add items to water as well. Having this bird as your Patronus means you find sitting back and waiting for opportunity most comfortable, and you like to take it easy. You are one of the many who likes to keep chill, wait for people to come to you, and have it a little easier. Of course, you’ll go get it if you must, but you find it easier when it comes to you, but you have to work to make it happen once the opportunity does come. You are someone who is patient and flexible, able to go with the flow and easily get your bearings when in a new place. When you’ve lost your way and all paths lead to doom, your Patronus will soar from your wand with a saintly glow, its wings cast wide over you as it soars down upon your opponent. In its gleaming eye will be strong, resolute wisdom, and it will be unafraid of the dementors before you because it knows no fear.
Hippo
The hippo is a unique and versatile animal, and those with its Patronus are the same. They have the ability to adapt to most situations and be comfortable, even though to others they may seem somewhat out of place. They have a good way of blending into the scene until they want to be noticed, at which point they make their presence more than known, giving an impression that lasts. They are friendly to most, though if provoked their bad side is one of the nastiest there is. Those with this unusual patronus are truly unique in character. People with the Hippogriff are fiercely loyal to those who earn their trust, often willing to go the extra mile for those who they care for. If you have a friend with the Hippogriff it is likely they are the most Loyal to you above all others. Those with the Hippogriff patronus are often very proud and self-assured. They do not forgive insults easily. Occasionally this pride can drift into arrogance and cause friction with those around you. The characteristic which makes it so rare to find people with the Hippogriff is the large heart. Not many people have such a large loving heart as those with this patronus, something very special indeed.
Hippogriff (very rare)
Having a Hippogriff Patronus means you find comfort in respect. This means that it is important that others respect you for who you are. In fact, you just wish that everyone would show each other mutual respect. Little courtesies, manners, and thinking before you speak are all things that you wish everyone would do. When people don’t treat you or those you love with this respect, you can become very frustrated. And even though you believe everyone deserves to be respected, you will not hesitate to protect yourself or those you love fiercely in cases where you feel threatened. You have an extremely good intuition about those who are possible threats and this makes you even more protective. You are a proud, reserved person who believes that everyone needs their space and privacy. Those who don’t know you may find this to be cold or closed off, but those few in your inner circle know that this is simply your way of being polite and considering others’ wishes. Those who you are close to know you are loyal and affectionate above all else, and they can always count on you in a bind. And as your Patronus’ association with Apollo suggests, once you get closer to people you do indeed become a beacon of light, beauty, and honesty in their life. For, though still reserved at times, when you get close to people you are happy making them laugh and helping them out wherever you can. This makes you a great friend to have, and someone that is enjoyable to be around. Remember, in times when you feel undermined, disrespected, and threatened, your patronus will always be there to bring you back the respect and control you need to feel safe and satisfied. This patronus will ensure that you will persevere through even the most impossible battle. With the hippogriff swooping out from your wand to push back enemies, no mountain is too high, no fight is unwinnable, and no goal is unreachable.
Hummingbird
Having this gorgeous little bird as your Patronus suggests you find comfort in moving quickly and always looking for something better. You like to be done with things quickly, which sometimes means you don’t devote all the attention you need. Schoolwork has always been rushed to get it done so you can go have fun instead, and so has anything you can rush, like some video games, you rush through the dialogue to get to the game, and then by the end, you’ve missed lots of small details and you need to start again. The Hummingbird reminds you that going fast in life is fine, as is making noise as you go, but sometimes you do need to slow down and enjoy this ride that life is. The Hummingbird may live a fast life, and it seeks the sweet things in life, and so do you, but make sure to check in with yourself too. Unlike many people, you don’t mind change and instead find inspiration and purpose in it. You believe that as long as things are always moving and healthy change is occurring, growth will also be inevitable. And, to you, it is important to be constantly growing as a person, adapting your beliefs, and becoming a more fulfilled person as time goes on. This can make you somewhat flighty in some ways, and you may be inclined to travel or step out of your comfort zone. Despite this, you understand the importance of balance and can be content if you need to be (for a while anyway). You’re a very energetic and positive person, who always seems to find a reason to hope and be inspired. All about going with the flow, and letting the wind blow you where it will, you are a definite free spirit, and you find joy in that freedom. All of this makes you one of the most fun and unpredictable friends to have, and a creative, bold team member. You have a natural charm that people can’t help but smile at and often you inspire others to live more freely. Just remember when you feel constricted, your patronus will always be there to bring you the movement and freedom you need to be your most authentic, expressive self. The hummingbird is a very carefree patronus and shows a free spirit. These are those who want to enjoy every aspect of life and embrace it to its full potential. They are social, but they also need an amount of time alone to try and find their own path. They are sensitive and influenced easily by what others say about them. They try to act as though they are independent, but they take every compliment and insult they receive with extreme consideration. They want to please everyone.
Husky
Having this goofy, talkative fluff ball as your Patronus means you find being loved by everyone you meet comforting. You creak with fear when you find out someone dislikes you, and you thrive around people who love and care about you. Just be your usual, ball of cute, sunshine face self, and people will flock to you, and your fear can be silenced. Dogs in general represent bravery, protection, and devotion. Huskies in particular also symbolize change and journeys, which is fair since they’ve been used as sled dogs for generations. Having a Husky as your Patronus means you find comfort in the journey. People with your Patronus are very “in-the-now” people, living every day one day at a time, and you show this off perfectly. You focus a lot less on endings and much more on experiences. It’s likely your ambitions are a little less concrete and more emotional than some of your classmates because you’re the sort of person to love possibility and running through every new door that opens toward you. Should you ever find yourself lost and directionless in the ice and snow of despair, this Patronus will come for you. It will leap out of your wand and, like a real sled dog, lead you out of the woods and back to yourself. Every day is an adventure, and every day you live to the fullest! You just love life! The passage of time doesn’t scare you, because there is excitement and possibility around every corner. Sometimes, however, there are times when you get lost in the woods and your adventure becomes much scarier and darker than you could’ve predicted. Whenever that happens, though, you can be well assured that this guardian will come find you and rescue you from the cold. It will never abandon you, and its presence will fill you with the determination and optimism that before its arrival felt so far away.
Hyena (unusual)
A Hyena patronus can represent a wizard/witch who is cunning and clever. As well as that this wizard/witch is able to disguise themselves as a clown by being funny/silly/crazy to be able to hide their true motives from others. Surprisingly this patronus can represent someone who is very smart and can think/trick their way out of any problem; whether you’re able to think their way out of any situation or play a trick to get out of any situation. Having a Hyena as your Patronus means that you find comfort in nonconformity. You are not someone who does something just because “that’s how it’s always been.” No one tells you what you should or shouldn’t do, and if anyone tries, well, their griping will fall on deaf ears. Having this patronus means you find comfort in being around your ‘pack’. Your pack may be your large family, or a tight-knit band of friends! Could even be a study group, but you love being around them and find yourself feeling sad or vulnerable when you’re away from them for an extended period of time. You love and would do anything for them, including going out to eat, as the hyena would with their hunts, having a sleepover with friends in your ‘den’, and laughing with them, also like the hyena. You are the sort to both join a dojo and take a cooking class – to wear leather and lace – to punch your worst enemy in the face with one hand and help another person to his feet with the other. You are both strong and weak – gentle and ruthless – cool as a cucumber and hot as a tamale. Should you ever find yourself cornered and shut away, forced to hide from the world, your guardian will burst from your wand with a large barking laugh, for it is completely unafraid of fences or wagging fingers. Its laughter will course through your veins, making your heart bubble up with strength, and soon you’ll be laughing too as you take down your enemies with a flick of your wand.
[/PTab={tab-hover-background-color:#ae2851; tab-selected-font-size:18px; tab-selected-background-color:#333333; }]A cat Patronus is one of the strongest symbols of a personal and spiritual roller coaster that one could receive! It represents the need to balance the physical and the spiritual/subconscious part of your life, if you fail to do so you could end up living in an 'in-between world' so to enable focus and achieve your goals you must find this balance. A witch or wizard with a cat patronus is an intelligent one ( and they know it!) and refined and fiercely independent. Although they may have many friends, they may not need constant socialization. They need their 'me time' to keep themselves content emotionally. Having a ginger cat as a Patronus means that you likely find comfort in continuity. You like to have a planned schedule, and you aren’t a huge fan of giant events that come in and uproot your life. You like to enjoy life without having to worry about what might go wrong. This does not mean that you are boring. It just means that you like it when your life is organized and steady, not a giant, haphazard mess. As a Patronus, the ginger cat will be there whenever you lose control. Sometimes, life throws us curveballs. We can’t control them, and they make a mess out of something that we worked carefully to obtain. The ginger cat is there to help you get back on your feet after one of these curveballs. Your patronus will help you in battle whenever something unexpected happens, and it will make sure that you are always able to get back to your feet and continue to fight and do the things you love. You do best when there is a lot of activity around you and will always jump right into the heart of it. When your life takes a turn for the worse and everything turns to murky shadows, this Patronus will leap gracefully from your wand, bounding over your enemies’ heads and then back to your side. It will then curl up around your shoulders, hissing at your opponent, and through its misty white fur will come bright and sharp awareness that will help you wake up from the nightmare.
Goshawk
You find comfort in situations that challenge you and allow you to independently achieve. You may have workaholic tendencies that make you unable to loosen your grip on a project or ask for help because you are proud and passionate enough about your goals that you want to do it all by yourself. The nice thing about your singular focus, however, is that you are incredibly responsible and reliable – whenever something needs to be done, your friends and family can always count on you. If you should ever find yourself crippled and unable to escape the darkness encroaching toward you, this Patronus will soar out of your wand with a fierce cry. Its claws will slash at the dementors, beating them back, and then it will slash again, and again, and again, in swooping attacks. It won’t give up on you – and so you will be emboldened to not give up on it, either. Your independent nature and introverted tendencies make you someone who is content being alone and sometimes prefers it. When it comes to achieving, you can be quite reckless, willing to take risks that others are not willing to take. This can be a huge advantage, making you stand out in whatever you do. You are extremely determined when it comes to your goals, and will do practically anything to achieve them. Although you are not quick to trust others, you are also fiercely loyal to those you do love and will do anything to protect them. This makes you a very reliable, valuable friend. You can come off as aggressive, but really you are just confident in your own abilities,( rightly so, as you are known for your intelligence and skill) and it shows. All of these traits make you a fearless, adventurous person and someone anyone would be proud to work beside. Stay confident and fabulous and your patronus will be there for you in your darkest moments… reminding you of the independent, determined person you are.

They do not forgive insults easily. Occasionally this pride can drift into arrogance and cause friction with those around you. The characteristic which makes it so rare to find people with the Hippogriff is the large heart. Not many people have such a large loving heart as those with this patronus, something very special indeed.
Hippogriff (very rare)
Having a Hippogriff Patronus means you find comfort in respect. This means that it is important that others respect you for who you are. In fact, you just wish that everyone would show each other mutual respect. Little courtesies, manners, and thinking before you speak are all things that you wish everyone would do. When people don’t treat you or those you love with this respect, you can become very frustrated. And even though you believe everyone deserves to be respected, you will not hesitate to protect yourself or those you love fiercely in cases where you feel threatened. You have an extremely good intuition about those who are possible threats and this makes you even more protective. You are a proud, reserved person who believes that everyone needs their space and privacy. Those who don’t know you may find this to be cold or closed off, but those few in your inner circle know that this is simply your way of being polite and considering others’ wishes. Those who you are close to know you are loyal and affectionate above all else, and they can always count on you in a bind. And as your Patronus’ association with Apollo suggests, once you get closer to people you do indeed become a beacon of light, beauty, and honesty in their life. For, though still reserved at times, when you get close to people you are happy making them laugh and helping them out wherever you can. This makes you a great friend to have, and someone that is enjoyable to be around. Remember, in times when you feel undermined, disrespected, and threatened, your patronus will always be there to bring you back the respect and control you need to feel safe and satisfied. This patronus will ensure that you will persevere through even the most impossible battle. With the hippogriff swooping out from your wand to push back enemies, no mountain is too high, no fight is unwinnable, and no goal is unreachable.
Hummingbird
Having this gorgeous little bird as your Patronus suggests you find comfort in moving quickly and always looking for something better. You like to be done with things quickly, which sometimes means you don’t devote all the attention you need. Schoolwork has always been rushed to get it done so you can go have fun instead, and so has anything you can rush, like some video games, you rush through the dialogue to get to the game, and then by the end, you’ve missed lots of small details and you need to start again. The Hummingbird reminds you that going fast in life is fine, as is making noise as you go, but sometimes you do need to slow down and enjoy this ride that life is. The Hummingbird may live a fast life, and it seeks the sweet things in life, and so do you, but make sure to check in with yourself too. Unlike many people, you don’t mind change and instead find inspiration and purpose in it. You believe that as long as things are always moving and healthy change is occurring, growth will also be inevitable. And, to you, it is important to be constantly growing as a person, adapting your beliefs, and becoming a more fulfilled person as time goes on. This can make you somewhat flighty in some ways, and you may be inclined to travel or step out of your comfort zone. Despite this, you understand the importance of balance and can be content if you need to be (for a while anyway). You’re a very energetic and positive person, who always seems to find a reason to hope and be inspired. All about going with the flow, and letting the wind blow you where it will, you are a definite free spirit, and you find joy in that freedom. All of this makes you one of the most fun and unpredictable friends to have, and a creative, bold team member. You have a natural charm that people can’t help but smile at and often you inspire others to live more freely. Just remember when you feel constricted, your patronus will always be there to bring you the movement and freedom you need to be your most authentic, expressive self. The hummingbird is a very carefree patronus and shows a free spirit. These are those who want to enjoy every aspect of life and embrace it to its full potential. They are social, but they also need an amount of time alone to try and find their own path. They are sensitive and influenced easily by what others say about them. They try to act as though they are independent, but they take every compliment and insult they receive with extreme consideration. They want to please everyone.
Husky
Having this goofy, talkative fluff ball as your Patronus means you find being loved by everyone you meet comforting. You creak with fear when you find out someone dislikes you, and you thrive around people who love and care about you. Just be your usual, ball of cute, sunshine face self, and people will flock to you, and your fear can be silenced. Dogs in general represent bravery, protection, and devotion. Huskies in particular also symbolize change and journeys, which is fair since they’ve been used as sled dogs for generations. Having a Husky as your Patronus means you find comfort in the journey. People with your Patronus are very “in-the-now” people, living every day one day at a time, and you show this off perfectly. You focus a lot less on endings and much more on experiences. It’s likely your ambitions are a little less concrete and more emotional than some of your classmates because you’re the sort of person to love possibility and running through every new door that opens toward you. Should you ever find yourself lost and directionless in the ice and snow of despair, this Patronus will come for you. It will leap out of your wand and, like a real sled dog, lead you out of the woods and back to yourself. Every day is an adventure, and every day you live to the fullest! You just love life! The passage of time doesn’t scare you, because there is excitement and possibility around every corner. Sometimes, however, there are times when you get lost in the woods and your adventure becomes much scarier and darker than you could’ve predicted. Whenever that happens, though, you can be well assured that this guardian will come find you and rescue you from the cold. It will never abandon you, and its presence will fill you with the determination and optimism that before its arrival felt so far away.
Hyena (unusual)
A Hyena patronus can represent a wizard/witch who is cunning and clever. As well as that this wizard/witch is able to disguise themselves as a clown by being funny/silly/crazy to be able to hide their true motives from others. Surprisingly this patronus can represent someone who is very smart and can think/trick their way out of any problem; whether you’re able to think their way out of any situation or play a trick to get out of any situation. Having a Hyena as your Patronus means that you find comfort in nonconformity. You are not someone who does something just because “that’s how it’s always been.” No one tells you what you should or shouldn’t do, and if anyone tries, well, their griping will fall on deaf ears. Having this patronus means you find comfort in being around your ‘pack’. Your pack may be your large family, or a tight-knit band of friends! Could even be a study group, but you love being around them and find yourself feeling sad or vulnerable when you’re away from them for an extended period of time. You love and would do anything for them, including going out to eat, as the hyena would with their hunts, having a sleepover with friends in your ‘den’, and laughing with them, also like the hyena. You are the sort to both join a dojo and take a cooking class – to wear leather and lace – to punch your worst enemy in the face with one hand and help another person to his feet with the other. You are both strong and weak – gentle and ruthless – cool as a cucumber and hot as a tamale. Should you ever find yourself cornered and shut away, forced to hide from the world, your guardian will burst from your wand with a large barking laugh, for it is completely unafraid of fences or wagging fingers. Its laughter will course through your veins, making your heart bubble up with strength, and soon you’ll be laughing too as you take down your enemies with a flick of your wand.

Ibizan Hound
Ibizan Hounds reach quite a perfect balance, with their grace and charm not constricting their ruggedness and toughness. They are quite clownish and love entertaining others, but can be very stubborn and independent as well. Ibizan Hounds are very likely to escape from enclosed areas and are quite adept at it, thus they should never be kept in kennels. They are quite prodigious with children and other dogs and are not excessive barkers. They are active and athletic and are easily capable of jumping fences to escape to freedom. They are also good climbers and have been found to be able even to undo baby gates. They are generally sweet dogs, though rather mischievous. You find comfort in your independence. You likely are a very amiable person and love making people happy, but you spend time with people on your terms. You’re not the sort of person to roll over and play dead – if you’re in a social situation that you don’t want to be in, you’re “peacing out” of there as soon as you can. Should you ever find yourself trapped by internal walls that seem too thick and tight to escape from, your Patronus will sweep out of your wand in bounding jumps, leaping over those walls of blackness to protect you against the dementors that are bearing down on you. It will bite at them, making them shrink back, before bounding back over to your side. Don’t you see? You’re free! And with your freedom in sight, you now have the motivation you need to cut down these demons that invade your dreams. Strong-willed to the point of being stubborn sometimes, you value your freedom and creativity and hate being restricted in any way. Because of this, you are quite an adept problem-solver, combining your determination and creativity to make sure you finish what you start. You are also quite sensitive to the feelings of others and know how to identify and handle a situation when someone is feeling down.

Take some time to think first, and while it’s great you want to help, you don’t have to help if you don’t want to, and the wolfhound wouldn’t want you to be unhappy either. Having the Irish Wolfhound for your Patronus means that you find comfort in strength – not boisterous or physical strength, but the quiet, unassuming kind that only rears its head when it is most needed – the kind that comes from inner stability. Your Patronus will be there to protect you when you have the need of it and will instill in you the same strength it expresses: a grounded, quiet, fixed assertiveness. You are down-to-earth and fixed in your morality and will always stand by what you think is right. You may not be very vocal or extroverted but you are always true to yourself. When the demons of anxiety and terror come a-knocking, this guardian will guard you against harm and bring with it a rush of strength that will help you ground yourself and stand tall.
Jaguar

King Cobra (unusual)

Like a King Cobra, instant confrontation is something that you try and avoid, instead, you make use of your time in order to plan things out and give yourself an advantage. Thinking and planning in this way also makes your “bite” all the more deadly, as whenever you act on one of your ideas or plans, it tends to be much stronger than if you had acted on the spot because of all of the time you put into making sure that everything falls into place correctly. Having a King Cobra as your Patronus means you find comfort in grace. You are someone who is cool and calm under pressure but beware to anyone who crosses you, for your mouth is just as venomous as your guardian’s. Still, you try to keep your composure as much as possible, because you feel better when you are in control of your strong passions. When you are in control of yourself, you can then use those passions wisely and resourcefully, using just enough to get your way and not letting anyone take advantage of you or your feelings. Should you ever lose control and feel your emotions spin out of control, hurling you into blind darkness, this Patronus will come and find you. It will slither from your wand and straighten up, baring its fangs at your enemies and fixing it with an eye that could kill. Soon its arrival will wash over you, bringing with it incredible calm, and you will once again be in control – then you will straighten up and stand up with all the power and pride of a royal, and the world will quake before you. As the owner of a king cobra patronus, you are soothed by the idea of change. You can easily adapt to changes, big or small, and you are sometimes the biggest advocate for them.

Together, you will strike true.

Your Patronus will be there to help you see the light, to help you realize that change is good and can help you succeed. In battle, the mountain hare will help you push and fight for a new world and a new life: a brighter, happier one.
Nebelung Cat
The name “Nebelung” actually comes from the German word for “mist” and the two main characters of a long-forgotten medieval German saga. The cat is most often described as “Beautiful, graceful, and flowing.” Soft, silky blue-grey fur is laced with silver. They are playful, good-natured, and though they may be mild, they are extremely intelligent. They tend to bond with a select few people and keep a tight relationship their whole life, but that being said, they enjoy the company of others you follow your own code and you are individualistic to the extent that you don’t need anyone else to tell you how to live your life. The nice thing is, however, that you don’t see the need to be vocally rebellious in order to rebel – you are quiet and resilient in your approach, dismantling expectations and boundaries keeping you from your goals with slow, steady precision. You’re in no hurry – after all, you certainly won’t give up until you get what you want, and those less patient and determined than you will drop like flies, leaving you to claim the prize. You also likely keep your personal ambitions and feelings close to the chest and put off an air of mystery appropriate to our house. You prefer to know everything about a situation, and you don’t like it when something is new or surprising (like a stranger). You are strongest when you are in a place or with people that you love and understand, and you stick with them until the end. In a fight, the nebelung will be there to keep you safe from harm. While the battle might seem overwhelming or confusing at first, the nebelung will give you the strength to figure it out, and once you do, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Should you ever find yourself confronted by terror in the dark of night, this Patronus will leap out of your wand to curl up resolutely around your shoulders like a stole. It will rest its head over your heart and warmth will flood through its body into you, and it will stare down your enemy with an unblinking, resilient stare. Its protection will be a shield so strong that no dementor can broach it. You are introverted and like to keep to your own group of friends. It’s always quality over quantity. You face every day with quiet determination, and won’t shy away from trying new things. You tend to like quieter people that you can connect with more. You’re a reliable and supportive friend and are always there for the people who count on you. Don’t be shamed or worried by the fact that you aren’t as bold or daring as many of your housemates, it takes immense courage to face everyday things with kindness, and that is your strong suit. You value intelligence and courage, and find comfort in knowledge. You probably enjoy many a good book, too! The Nebelung cat sports a different kind of bravery than most, but perhaps even a stronger one. Don’t shy away from being yourself, and always feel welcome and comfortable in your house!
Newfoundland
Having a Newfoundland as your Patronus means you find comfort in benevolence. You are a warm person who tends to work with soft, open hands that are ready to help others if need be. At the same time, though, your soft exterior masks great inner strength and resolve – like most Slytherins, you are hard to crack open and get to know on a personal level. You are very intelligent and know exactly how cynical and cruel the world can be, but your attitude is that if everyone is going to be a jerk, you may as well be the exception and make a little brightness in this dark world. At least then you will have contributed something of value. When you find yourself drowning in the kind of despair that takes your breath away, this Patronus will leap out of your wand, swimming through the inky blackness toward you and helping you to your feet. Its large body will support you until you get your bearings again and will stand beside you like a guardian angel when you are finally ready to counterattack. You are determined and hardworking, and that means that nothing is going to stand in the way of your goals. You’re unafraid to face challenges and remain confident through most of the way, but of course, we all have our ups and downs. You’re attracted to calmer, modest people, rather than the stereotypical James Potter type folks. You’d rather be at home in front of a fire than out at a party, and enjoy spending time with your closest friends and family. You’re gentle and kind, and take care to think before you speak. This also comes with extreme sensitivity, and you take everything people say to heart. You seek to find the positive things in life, and are awesome at providing support to your loved ones. People find inspiration in your modesty and determination. You will stand up to anything if it threatens the people around you. And lastly, you love freedom The wide world is all about you, and you see no sense in blocking it out!
Nightjar
If you've found yourself with a Nightjar as your Patronus, you are guaranteed to have a loyal and strong friend to drive away the darkness. Having a Nightjar as your Patronus means you find comfort in overcoming misfortune. Like many Slytherins, you are a very clever and resourceful person, and no matter what disadvantage is thrown your way, you can be sure you’ll overcome it. You are incredibly stubborn and resilient and you “don’t give a damn about your bad reputation.” Should you ever get worn down, however, and your luck completely run out, this guardian will appear out of the night with a flash of white to fly around your head, filling your enemy’s ear with its echoing call and filling them with fear instead. And as your enemy weakens, you shall happily take strength and stare him down.
[PTab=O - P]
Occamy (very rare)
You have made adaptability into an art. The ability to move into a space and take it over is legendary. A once quiet common room is suddenly filled with laughter when you enter. But when that space is threatened it’s like someone flipped a switch. No one can say you run from a fight especially where your eggs are concerned. These might be your friends, family, or anything else you might value. As long as those you care for are safe you’re a calm and jovial individual. The probability of you being found cuddled up to one of your valued individuals. You’re all probably closely knit. Having this creature as your Patronus means you find comfort in flexibility. Be it in schedules, your own interests, or thinking of another way, if you have no room to stretch out or change plans, you get restless, and may retaliate badly. While the occamy shows no loyalty to humans, from what we see in Fantastic Beasts, they are kind to one another, so this can be your family, friends, or loved ones.
Ocicat
Cats in general are symbolic of independence, patience, and curiosity. Ocicats are particularly interesting as they are domesticated cats that look like tiny ocelots (hence the name). Ocicats are friendly, sociable pets, to the extent that some breeders consider them “dogs in cats’ clothing.” They can even be trained like a dog, taking to being walked on a leash or doing tricks on command. There are some Ocicats that even, contrary to their species, really like water! Having an Ocicat as your Patronus means you find comfort in subverting expectations. You are unusually rebellious – you won’t be defined solely by what you are or where you come from. You are beyond individualistic and seek to push the envelope and go against the grain. You love surprising people, and can actually be quite sociable compared to your peers, but you are no less driven or ambitious than anyone else. You will prove yourself to the whole world by doing things your own way. When sight is denied you and gravity deserts you, your Patronus will appear to flip you right side up, curling up along your shoulders and rubbing its cheek against yours encouragingly. It’ll be okay, it’ll tell you – you’ll be okay. All you need to do is prove to your fears that you are stronger than they think.
Orangutan
The orangutan Patronus will use its intelligence and dexterity to get you out of any jam. If this is your Patronus, it will protect you and your loved ones by encircling you and not letting the Dementors near you. An orangutan is always calm and cool-headed even in the most stressful of times. Their infinite wisdom and serenity help even the most agitated of souls. They have immense intelligence but also know when a hug and support are more needed than a lecture. Very collected, they are able to see past simple needs and look on the brightest side possible, and often encourage others to do the same. Never take advantage of an orangutan, they will help those they love, but they will never be fooled.
Orca (unusual)
The orca is said to be the protector of the sea, and calls to the animals and fishermen to guide them. You are probably very mellow most of the time, but you can certainly lash out when provoked. You are a natural leader and people follow you for your strength and wisdom. You are happiest when surrounded by friends and family, and don’t take well to stress. Knowing that an orca is your patronus can help you realize that you were meant to stand up for yourself and lead others around you. Courage is important. Orcas are also very protective and are willing to do anything to protect their family and those who they trust. You are creative and spark ideas out of nowhere, and find hard determination is on your side. You can bring healing and light to others' lives, and find solstice in music. Don’t feel bad about having a killer whale as your Patronus. The orca symbolizes courage and strength, good health, and creation. Show no fear when this magnificent creature leaps from the end of your wand, and feel confident that it will defend you at all costs.
Oryx (unusual)
Having an oryx patronus couldn’t fit you better! You’re content and extremely adaptable and use everything you have to your advantage. You use your head when in sticky situations, and can turn the nearest object into a weapon if need be. You are kind and sociable, but when you need your alone time, you need it. Perhaps you’re not the best at core school subjects, but when it comes to common sense, you’re brighter than the average person. You see the quality in every little thing, and try to make the most of what you have. The oryx can teach you a lot about adapting to your surroundings, even if you are not happy with them, and being thankful for each and everything in your life, because everything has worth. The oryx can defend against the negative, depressing thoughts of the Dementors simply with its positive vibes and way of thinking. Similarly, when you are feeling down, the oryx can bring you happiness and positivity just through simple things.
Osprey
Those with an osprey as their patronus are fine examples of these key characteristics; osprey are majestic birds of prey who hunt fish from the sky. They have sharp vision and even sharper talons, making them fantastic hunters. Not only that, but they are seen as symbols of “true power”, as they are considered to have mastery over the land, air, and sea. If an osprey is your patronus, you find comfort in respect. You understand your strengths and weaknesses, and you know what you want, so you do not like being treated as lesser or unequal. An Osprey patronus can represent an owner who is extremely brave though not confident or cocky about their ability. As well as that an owner of an Osprey patronus can be extremely wise and find the key to unsolvable problems, somewhere deep within their brain. Osprey patronus owners are also very logical, they don’t do things they know they can’t handle, but when the chance of success outweighs the chance of failure, they are willing to take that chance. Your Patronus means you find comfort in knowing that people are loyal to you, and it will honor this by making sure it never leaves your side when you need it and will make sure it shows no mercy to your foe. You are confident in your abilities and need to be taken seriously, but you don’t let that take over; of course, as someone who needs to be respected, you always remember to return the favor, and you treat others the way you wish to be treated. You’ll also find it reassuring that the Osprey birds are called the King of Birds, as you will be once your enemy has been defeated.
Otter
Having this cuddly trickster as your Patronus means you find comfort in good company and warm snuggles. You can come off a little stoic by mistake, due to your eccentricity and general ‘strangeness’, but you really love nothing more than a good snuggle on the couch with someone you love, watching a scary movie, and eating a light snack. Being alone is a typical thing people expect of those with high intelligence, as they tend to push others away by the general nature of their interests and love of study and learning, but you stand apart in a different way: you love being around people. You are someone who can blend in no matter where you are. You can be both loud enough to dominate a room and quiet enough to escape any conflict. You are very good at reading the people and places around you and determining how best to present yourself, which makes it very easy for you to make connections and advance yourself in your ambitions. You keep your hands clean of drama or mess and will slip out of any sort of trouble with ease. When you find yourself hemmed in and blocked out of chances for escape, this Patronus will come for you. Your determination makes you a formidable opponent, though sometimes your otter may need to step in if you get distracted (as they tend to do themselves), but it will attempt to play with your enemy, tiring them out until you can finish them off yourself. This Patronus will splash out of your wand in a burst of transparent white and swim through the air around you, contorting this way and that without a trace of fear. It knows you are more than malleable enough to squeeze out of any sticky place you’ve gotten into…and when it shows that confidence in you, you will find that same confidence rushing back through you and flowing out of you as you exhale through a wide, determined smile.
Panda
The panda is a resourceful animal, and those with it as a Patronus are the same. They are good at using whatever is around them, and incredibly creative and bright. They are friendly and warm; many may go to them for advice or help, which the panda will willingly give. They are a bit of a healer by nature, enjoying the company around them and using it to enhance themselves. They love to explore many areas of knowledge and the world, trying to broaden their horizons and keep their minds open. They can be very spiritual people, but will not push their views on others, as they are comfortable with whatever a person chooses to believe.
Peacock (unusual)
Like the bright colors of a peacock, the personality of those with this patronus is one that tends to capture attention. They are what society may often see as eccentric, being very comfortable with the way in which their spirit guides them. They have confidence and are very in tune with themselves. However, they tend to have trouble trying to see in the shoes of others and do not realize others can see them as very strong or intimidating. Having a Peacock as your Patronus means that you find comfort in security. You are someone who doesn’t like surprises and who feels best when you always know whenever a threat is coming. You value self-preservation and tend to chase control over your own destiny, being tied to and having to answer to no one, and this feeds into your Patronus. Your Patronus is always aware of what’s going on around you and sees everything with the utmost clarity – thus, when your emotions are spiking out of control and it’s hard to blink away the morose and terrifying darkness, your guardian can bring your vision back into focus and be your eyes. It will stand in front of you as a shield and tell you that it sees that your enemy is not as dangerous as he appears and that you are strong enough to surmount it. And you will know without a doubt that it speaks the truth.
Pheasant
There are many species of pheasants, but all share common characteristics. Pheasants often move in an amusing fashion, wattling and jumping. You may find comfort in laughter or dress up in bright colors to raise your spirits, especially during dreary winter months. Coping skills may include watching comedy shows, dancing, applying makeup, and spending time with friends. When faced with hardship, you are a survivor. Despite their popularity with hunters, pheasants enjoy a conservation status of Least Concern. This is partially due to their highly social nature; pheasants are able to breed and thrive in nearly any environment. However, there are a few regions in which heavy efforts to introduce the birds consistently fail. This speaks to a tendency amongst certain You quickly discern and avoid environments in which you’re uncomfortable thanks to your talent with self-preservation.
Piebald Mare/Stallion
Your patronus means you find comfort in choices. Much like the horse, you like knowing you can quickly back out of a choice or thing you have to do and run or face it head-on. You need to know there is a second out, and like your patronus, you also have a strong fight-or-flight response to issues. You can’t run from all of your problems though, so make sure you prioritize what you can from, and what you can’t. You can always run from seeing a friend when you’re tired or just can’t be bothered, but you can’t run from bills or homework! Make sure you keep your moral compass on the right path, and the horse will guide you to what you can and cannot do, and where you need to turn next. The world is calling you, so don’t be afraid to answer! You find comfort in being out in the wild and love big open spaces where you can see for miles. Courage to face the unknown is a trademark of your house, and the horse embraces it. Courage doesn’t just have to mean facing your fears, either. It takes courage to express who you are, and the piebald horse embraces that. You’re unique, so don’t be afraid to show it! The black and white pattern suggests a layered personality, you’re empathetic and always see both sides of the story. There’s more to you than you might think. You find comfort with other people, and for you, the safest place is with the herd, unless of course they hinder your spirit. The piebald mare brings passion, courage, and freedom; don’t be afraid to show your colors, and face whatever story life brings you with fire.
Pine Marten
Having a Pine Marten as your Patronus means you find comfort in drive. You feel best when you have something to do and something to accomplish – you like being needed and will put your all into something you’ve committed yourself to. You also are never one to accept defeat. You are an incredibly diligent perfectionist who will keep trying and trying and trying until you finally succeed. Your guardian will appear to you when you have been beaten up and worn down by fate, leaving you dangling at the edge of despair, and it will bring you the strength to tighten your jaw and keep fighting. If you are not passionate about something, you tend to get bored and disinterested very quickly. You love being productive and on the move, preferably in the upward direction, and also have a perfectionistic streak that makes you a wonderfully hard worker. Should you ever reach the end of the line and run out of steam and options, this Patronus will come for you, sweeping out of your wand and darting up your leg and around your shoulders. New energy and vitality will ripple through its body into you, and you will have enough strength again to grit your teeth and plow through your obstacles with fierce precision. You are no longer just you – you are a warrior, noble and true – and with the Pine Marten on your shoulder, you will be indestructible and unstoppable.
Polar Bear (unusual)
Those with a polar bear as their patronus are very adaptable individuals, but stubborn. They put up strong emotional barriers and are very oriented on one aspect of their lives, such as a career or volunteer work. This can make them seem cold to others, and they can be blunt in their ways of communication. Despite this, they are very connected to everything, however small that connection may be. Having a Polar Bear as your Patronus means you find comfort in adaptability. You can always make do with whatever you have and deal with whatever bad situation comes your way. Your guardian’s talent for strategy (which can be seen in its patient, methodical hunting) is also well-expressed – if there’s something you really want, you’re willing to wait for it. You’ll put in the time and effort needed in order to get it and keep it. Your Patronus will come for you when you are at your lowest to remind you that you are strong and capable enough to surmount the odds and make it through. Nothing can hold you down, if you don’t let it – and you are more than strong enough to tough it out and hold your head up with pride.
Polecat
Polecats are small ferrets that live primarily in North America and Europe, which are considered endangered (in the USA), and opinions vary depending on where you go. In Europe, they’re associated with prostitutes, and in some regions, it is believed allowing a polecat to live in your chicken coop will keep vermin away, as the polecat will eat rats and other creatures who will harm your chickens from sheer gratitude. In the USA, they’re seen used in Native tribes for religious rites and food, and they’re used all over the world as fur. Having this furry creature as your Patronus means you find comfort in safety. You may have once felt like the world was against you, seeing happiness seems to be getting driven out. The world is cruel, and you know this far too well, having been a force of happiness as a child, and you may now find the world makes you sad as you look at the news or seeing how people around you become more negative. You want to feel safe and happy again, and the best way to do this is to protect yourself, your emotions, and your tight-knit little group of people you love. This patronus can represent an owner who is extremely loving and protective over friends and family. As well as that it can represent an owner who are playful or humorous. The owner of this patronus is also very inquisitive and always looking for adventure. You like being surrounded by locks on your doors, friends by your side, and a special place to go to when things get overwhelming, your safe place. Maybe a little nook in your home or bedroom, like a cupboard to wrap yourself in a blanket or even your bed, if you’re feeling unsafe or unhappy.
Python (unusual)
The snake is an intoxicating animal, indulgent in their mannerisms and a drug to others. They are very personable, getting others to grow fond of them quickly. They are graceful in their expression, but very fiery as well. They make an impression fast, and they get their point across, whatever it may be. They tend to attempt hiding their feelings, seeing them as weakness, though they are incredibly emotional. This causes them to be venomous when angry, lashing out at others. Snakes are powerful symbols, and those whose patronus takes the form of a serpent tend to also be powerful people in kind. While they tend to be quiet, sometimes even shy, and not be wont to impose, it doesn’t mean that they can’t get things done.

You can always run from seeing a friend when you’re tired or just can’t be bothered, but you can’t run from bills or homework! Make sure you keep your moral compass on the right path, and the horse will guide you to what you can and cannot do, and where you need to turn next. The world is calling you, so don’t be afraid to answer! You find comfort in being out in the wild and love big open spaces where you can see for miles. Courage to face the unknown is a trademark of your house, and the horse embraces it. Courage doesn’t just have to mean facing your fears, either. It takes courage to express who you are, and the piebald horse embraces that. You’re unique, so don’t be afraid to show it! The black and white pattern suggests a layered personality, you’re empathetic and always see both sides of the story. There’s more to you than you might think. You find comfort with other people, and for you, the safest place is with the herd, unless of course they hinder your spirit. The piebald mare brings passion, courage, and freedom; don’t be afraid to show your colors, and face whatever story life brings you with fire.
Pine Marten
Having a Pine Marten as your Patronus means you find comfort in drive. You feel best when you have something to do and something to accomplish – you like being needed and will put your all into something you’ve committed yourself to. You also are never one to accept defeat. You are an incredibly diligent perfectionist who will keep trying and trying and trying until you finally succeed. Your guardian will appear to you when you have been beaten up and worn down by fate, leaving you dangling at the edge of despair, and it will bring you the strength to tighten your jaw and keep fighting. If you are not passionate about something, you tend to get bored and disinterested very quickly. You love being productive and on the move, preferably in the upward direction, and also have a perfectionistic streak that makes you a wonderfully hard worker. Should you ever reach the end of the line and run out of steam and options, this Patronus will come for you, sweeping out of your wand and darting up your leg and around your shoulders. New energy and vitality will ripple through its body into you, and you will have enough strength again to grit your teeth and plow through your obstacles with fierce precision. You are no longer just you – you are a warrior, noble and true – and with the Pine Marten on your shoulder, you will be indestructible and unstoppable.
Polar Bear (unusual)
Those with a polar bear as their patronus are very adaptable individuals, but stubborn. They put up strong emotional barriers and are very oriented on one aspect of their lives, such as a career or volunteer work. This can make them seem cold to others, and they can be blunt in their ways of communication. Despite this, they are very connected to everything, however small that connection may be. Having a Polar Bear as your Patronus means you find comfort in adaptability. You can always make do with whatever you have and deal with whatever bad situation comes your way. Your guardian’s talent for strategy (which can be seen in its patient, methodical hunting) is also well-expressed – if there’s something you really want, you’re willing to wait for it. You’ll put in the time and effort needed in order to get it and keep it. Your Patronus will come for you when you are at your lowest to remind you that you are strong and capable enough to surmount the odds and make it through. Nothing can hold you down, if you don’t let it – and you are more than strong enough to tough it out and hold your head up with pride.
Polecat
Polecats are small ferrets that live primarily in North America and Europe, which are considered endangered (in the USA), and opinions vary depending on where you go. In Europe, they’re associated with prostitutes, and in some regions, it is believed allowing a polecat to live in your chicken coop will keep vermin away, as the polecat will eat rats and other creatures who will harm your chickens from sheer gratitude. In the USA, they’re seen used in Native tribes for religious rites and food, and they’re used all over the world as fur. Having this furry creature as your Patronus means you find comfort in safety. You may have once felt like the world was against you, seeing happiness seems to be getting driven out. The world is cruel, and you know this far too well, having been a force of happiness as a child, and you may now find the world makes you sad as you look at the news or seeing how people around you become more negative. You want to feel safe and happy again, and the best way to do this is to protect yourself, your emotions, and your tight-knit little group of people you love. This patronus can represent an owner who is extremely loving and protective over friends and family. As well as that it can represent an owner who are playful or humorous. The owner of this patronus is also very inquisitive and always looking for adventure. You like being surrounded by locks on your doors, friends by your side, and a special place to go to when things get overwhelming, your safe place. Maybe a little nook in your home or bedroom, like a cupboard to wrap yourself in a blanket or even your bed, if you’re feeling unsafe or unhappy.
Python (unusual)
The snake is an intoxicating animal, indulgent in their mannerisms and a drug to others. They are very personable, getting others to grow fond of them quickly. They are graceful in their expression, but very fiery as well. They make an impression fast, and they get their point across, whatever it may be. They tend to attempt hiding their feelings, seeing them as weakness, though they are incredibly emotional. This causes them to be venomous when angry, lashing out at others. Snakes are powerful symbols, and those whose patronus takes the form of a serpent tend to also be powerful people in kind. While they tend to be quiet, sometimes even shy, and not be wont to impose, it doesn’t mean that they can’t get things done.
[PTab=Q - R]
Ragdoll Cat
Ragdoll cats are often referred to as the dog of cats, as they’re playful, cuddly, and tend to relax and go limp when picked up, like actual ragdolls. Those with a ragdoll cat patronus may prefer to stay out of conflict or avoid confrontation a bit more than others. A ragdoll cat is a specific feline breed with vibrant blue eyes and a long coat. They require plenty of grooming to keep their fur from becoming matted, and they are quite beautiful creatures. Like most cats, they are somewhat playful, very sly, and overall loving animals. Having this patronus means you find comfort in being cared for and being made to feel special. You don’t like conflict, but prefer to nip it in the bud so that you may move on and return to your daily life. Thus, once everything is settled, you are quite calm and able to perform to your best. It’s during times like these that you can truly enjoy life and take part in all that you like to do, whether it be relaxing at home or spending time with friends or loved ones. You love being cuddled, snuggled, hugged, kissed, and literally any other touch you feel comfy with, and you love when people tell you they love or care for you. You also really love being totally spoiled and made to feel like you’re the only person in the world someone else cares for, and it really warms your heart when you’ve been reassured. Lay off the other person though! Tell THEM you love them too! You may have a cat patronus, and therefore some cat tendencies, like wanting all the affection and sometimes not being good about giving it back, but try to spoil your friend next time, and do your patronus proud.
Rat
Rats are clever and resourceful creatures, which can symbolize cleverness, hard work, and success. Due to the fact that they are one of the most hunted animals, rats are extremely crafty and are top-notch survivors. Having gone through your fair share of experiences, if your patronus is a rat, you most likely find comfort in being able to give advice. When friends or family members come to you for guidance, you are always willing to lend a hand. You know just what to say or do to help them overcome any problem, big or small. When they take your advice, and things work out fine (which is often), you can’t help but feel proud. You are excellent at problem-solving. Your guardian will appear to you when it feels like you have your back against the wall and there is no hope or life behind your eyes. It will scurry up out of nothingness, right up your arm, and squeak in your ear as if encouraging you. Having this little guy as your Patronus means you find comfort in being left to your own devices. You love other people, don’t get it twisted, but you find you function best when you have been left alone for a while to recharge your batteries, and preferably, with a good pile of food nearby. You definitely aren’t anti-social, or a bad person, but something about being alone is so nice, refreshing, and calming.
Rattlesnake
Having a rattlesnake as your Patronus means that you are at your strongest when you have control over a situation. You like to know where everything is, and you want people to be aware of the threat you pose. Additionally, you find comfort whenever your friends recognize that you are there. You usually have important things to say, and you always try to make sure your voice is heard! As a Patronus, the rattlesnake will be there to deter enemies whenever they get too close. One look at its glowing form blooming from your wand will cause dementors and living enemies alike to retreat in panic. If anyone bypasses its original warning, the rattlesnake will ensure that they won’t be there for long. Together, you will strike. In battle, you will be a force to be reckoned with, too quick, too deadly, for your enemies to stand a chance. You have strong opinions and you will bite hard if provoked, but the nice thing is that you also have the ability to express idealism too. You see great potential in people and things and love the thought of making what you imagine become reality. You are truly a transformative person because you have both the vision and the words to make things happen. Should you ever come face to face with a foe that wishes to devour your heart and mind, this Patronus will blast out of your wand, warding danger away with its menacing rattle and bared fangs. While the rattle will terrify your enemy, however, you will instead find your mind clearing and your vision becoming sharper, and you will see your triumph in your mind’s eye. Once you see it, you will then move heaven and earth to make that vision come true. You, as the owner of this patronus, lay quietly waiting for the opportunity to insert some of your expertise or intelligence, you even take the chance to insert a sarcastic or witty comment. Rather than finding comfort in large groups, your comfort tends to come from independence, and confidence. As the owner, you are calm and confident knowing that both of those qualities inspires fear in others, but much like the rattlesnake you do not attack unless you are provoked. As a leader, you have a poise and a confidence that not many others do, you know you can do the job well, and you have no fear in showing that. This pairing with Ravenclaw means that you know your information and that you are able to think of creative ideas, that add to your confidence in leadership.
Raven (unusual)
If your patronus is a raven, knowledge is your greatest comfort. Knowing and learning always bring you great joy, and you feel as though you can never gather enough knowledge. Just as they say, knowledge is power. Not only do you like to know things for yourself, but you take great joy in sharing what you’ve learned with those around you. Besides, what’s the point of having this head full of thoughts and facts if you’re the only one who knows them? Having a Raven as your Patronus means you find comfort in mysticism. You are a spiritual person – not meaning that you are necessarily religious, but that you are very in tune with your inner self and the world around you. It makes it so you are a very insightful person and are sharp enough that you can easily predict human behavior. You also tend to enjoy your solitude and give off a faintly enigmatic air, which also is appropriate for Slytherin, the house that revels in mystery. If you ever find yourself blinded by depression and falling into the abyss, this Patronus will swoop to your rescue, becoming your eyes and ears and showing you the future that still awaits you. This bright and exciting future will bring life back into your cheeks and the light back to your eyes, and you will face your present danger with the utmost confidence. The Raven can remind you that in death there is hope, as rebirth may follow soon after. You can rest easy knowing that the end of your chapter may be the beginning of someone else’s, and feel nothing to fear from fear itself.
Red Squirrel
The red squirrel is a feisty little animal, sporting fluffy ears, versatile hands, and an extremely bushy tail. The squirrel inhabits woodland, spending its days collecting seeds and nuts, chattering away at its neighbors, and sometimes bringing back objects that wild animals shouldn’t necessarily have. They’re naturally curious, always looking for something new and exciting. You find comfort in what you know, but won’t turn down the unknown. You’re curious and hopeful. You work most efficiently by yourself, and you’re not afraid to let other people know it. You’re most at ease when you’re expressing your own personality, and you are creative in doing so. Just because you work best solo doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy a good conversation. You might even find a little pleasure in gossip, which is to say you like to know what’s going on most of the time. People see you’re not afraid to be unique, and eager to learn. A squirrel patronus can also represent protection and intelligence. You also tend to be solitary and thoughtful, but when you are comfortable and willing enough to speak up, you can be incredibly articulate. When you’re trapped in your own head, watching helplessly as the world spins out of control, this Patronus will leap to your aid, bounding out of your wand and up your arm. Its bushy, misty tail will brush against your skin, fading away into your veins like smoke that will send a burst of stability to your heart. Then all at once, you’ll find your center again, and be ready to stand your ground. You always put your best effort in. The red squirrel may be small, but it has a big heart and mind. You’re courageous and valiant, and though your day may be packed with work and adventure, you find the most peace and harmony in a good night’s sleep, safe at home. May the red squirrel patronus protect you on whatever adventure your life takes you on.
Rhinoceros (unusual)

Robin
You find comfort in your connections with others. You are a cheery, positive person, who needs to be around people to feel fulfilled. You’re not extremely extroverted necessarily, but your friendships are some of the most important things to you and you value them higher than most others. You are sensitive to others’ feelings and emotions and sometimes this can be a downfall for you, but honestly, you are a very strong, resilient person and usually find a way to not only pick yourself up but also everyone around you. People look up to you for your unshakeable good attitude and kindness and you are sure to have many good friends. Additionally, you have an admirable courage about you, especially when your friends need you, but just in general as well. Your honesty, positivity, intelligence, and courage will get you far in life. A robin patronus represents stubbornness and holding strong with one’s opinion. A robin patronus represents strength and bravery as well. With that, a robin patronus represents intelligence and curiosity. But whenever those seem to fail you, remember your patronus: there through even the loneliest of times.

When you end up in trouble, however, you needn’t ever fear. This guardian will always come for you when you need the protection for once, scaring away all threats and dangers until you are ready to defend yourself again.
Runespoor (very unusual)
The Runespoor is a creature original to the Harry Potter universe. It is described as an orange serpent with black stripes and three heads. Each head corresponds to a different personality – the left head is the planner (which comes up with the Runespoor’s ideas), the middle head is the dreamer (which tends to get lost in its own daydreams and remains the most stationary of the heads), and the right head is the cynic (which critiques the ideas of the other two heads). Apparently, it is not uncommon to find a Runespoor with only two heads, as sometimes the first and second heads will bite off the third because it’s being too critical, though a two-headed Runespoor will not live very long. Snakes, of course, are a pretty standard symbol to associate with Slytherins, being symbolic of change, fertility, healing, energy, and the duality of good and evil. But more interestingly it has been hypothesized that runespoors in particular are representative of writers – one part of the writer is the logical planner, one part is the imaginative center that dreams up all the magical flights of fancy, and the last part is a never-ending self-critic who never sees their writing as good enough. Having a Runespoor Patronus means you find comfort in push and pull. You are a multi-faceted and complex person and you don’t just listen to one internal voice, you listen to several…and that’s okay! You know that way that you’ll never be fenced in or pigeonholed. That flexibility and versatility are reassuring because you’ll be able to face whatever comes your way. This is what the Runespoor appears to tell you – you have the energy and the capability to think your way out. It is a healing presence that says just what you need to hear – whether it be encouragement, idealism, or a good old smack of reality – to keep fighting.
Russian Blue Cat
Having a Russian Blue as your Patronus means you find comfort in complete trust. A Russian Blue Cat patronus can represent an owner who is very intelligent. As well as that this patronus can represent an owner who is untrusting of new people, and takes a while to get trust new people. Though untrusting of strangers, they blend well with others, and are respectful and kind to everyone they meet! You are a cautious and distrustful sort, and so you choose your friends very carefully. The nice thing about this, though, is that those precious few who do earn your friendship are true diamonds in the rough. And knowing your bond of trust runs that deep and true means the world to you. You know they’ll always be there for you, so they will become your moon and stars – you will do anything and everything for the sake of their happiness, just as much as you fight for your own. Should you ever find yourself in free fall and the night shattered by horror and despair, this Patronus will gracefully leap from your wand to your side, and the gentle fur-like mist of its body will brush up against your skin, sending a wonderful rush of reassurance through you. Your guardian is as strong as the trust you place in your loved ones. Since your trust is stronger than anything else in the world, your guardian is utterly invincible.

Salmon
Having this quick swimmer as your Patronus means you find comfort in being asked for advice.

While you can be bombarded with requests for help or a nugget of wisdom, you still love to help people, be it with relationship advice, career advice or just something as simple as helping someone pick their dinner.

Owls in general are associated primarily with wisdom. They are solitary birds and the deadliest of nighttime hunters, with exceptional eyesight and silent grace.

You don’t need to puff yourself up – you are already the coolest person in the room because you’re you.

It will then land on your shoulder when you likewise spread your wings, ready to fight back.
Seagull
The Patronus of a seagull represents, as with most bird Patronuses, a very creative mind. These people can soar intellectually because they tend to see things in a different light. They have goals that they focus on, and at times they can be blind to other things and people around them because they are so set on this one thing. Their social range varies, but whether or not they prefer to speak with others, they do enjoy being around them a good bit of the time. They are good channelers of energy and can fuel their creativity and drive even further by channeling the energy of others without even realizing they are doing so.
Seal (unusual)
With your seal patronus–a somewhat rare patronus, might I add!–these traits shine right beside your creative mind. Seals represent an imaginative nature, both when you’re awake and in your dreams.

Your mind runs free and brings forth a plethora of brilliant ideas–some happy, some sad, and some even frightening at times. A Seal patronus can represent an owner who is very playful and energetic. This also represents an owner who never lets their own emotions get in the way of being successful. A seal patronus also represents an owner who loves adventure, and it’s always ready to explore. You may be a little more cerebral and in your head than some in our house, but that doesn’t make you any less driven and committed to making your dreams come true. You love the idea of possibility, so you are, true to your house, incredibly resourceful. You also may be a bit of a romantic and love the idea of travel. Should you ever come to a dead-end and find yourself sinking into despair, your guardian will burst from your wand in a flash of white light, swimming through the air to your side. It will glide around you, white splashes of light coming off of it in waves, but instead of the waves hitting you like cold water, they will wash over a warm breeze and fill you up with hope. You are a force to be reckoned with, and you feel that, when given the chance, you can do anything. Having a harp seal as your Patronus means you find comfort in being taught, and then left to your own devices. In school, you always found you did best when something was explained, and then you were left to try it yourself. You always need just one explanation, and then you don’t need any further help. You are trusting, and the seal exemplifies this, but your determination and love of hardwork make sure you will get through anything.
Shark (unusual)
People who have this Patronus are known for excelling in business environments, being leaders, and sometimes being a bit intimidating. Also, they tend to have good skin and a great set of teeth.

Your Patronus will swim from your wand when you’re at your most helpless and help you reassert yourself and rip the reins of control out of your enemy’s grasp. Then you can bare your teeth with pride and scare away your inner demons.
Shrew
Those with shrews as their patronus are also known for their resilience and their endless planning for the future. Yes, shrews are quite cautious creatures, prone to saving and preparing for what’s to come. They can be a bit nosy and are known to be collectors. With their keen senses, they are quite witty and know how to avoid unsavory situations. Small but mighty is a good motto for you, as the little things can often have the largest impact. More of a side-note really, but the word shrew can also be used to refer to an “aggressive or ill-tempered woman.” Seeing as how this definition emerged in a time during which a woman speaking out of turn was considered aggressive, this can be interpreted as “a woman who is assertive.” Do with that what you will! As someone with a shrew patronus, you most likely find comfort in being in control. When you have the reigns, you’re able to handle the situation in your own way. Shrews are known for being lively creatures with keen eyes; they love to explore. Chaos can’t make you flinch because you know you’ll be able to make it through.

Siberian Cat
Siberian cats are well known for being affectionate, loving, attentive, and noisy fluffballs, and are calm animals with the ability to calm people, making them perfect therapy cats or companions for a lonely soul.

Having this feline as your patronus means you find comfort in simply being there for others, in any way you can manage. You’ve been known to talk to an old lady when she looks lonely at the bus stop, bring food to a sad or sick friend, hug your mom when she cries because something went wrong during the day, or even just talk to a stranger having a bad day. While your version of being there for others can be seen as simple, the person receiving your attention adores it, and adores you. You are forever aware of who you are and where you came from, and you strive to be just as great as those who came before you, whether they’re your family members or just people you admire. That history also makes you a very reflective and dependable person – you not only are the sort to think back on the victories of the past and try to renew them, but you also clearly see the mistakes made in the past and work to correct them. You are very resilient, as you know full well that you can be just as strong as your idols if you only work for it. Should you ever find yourself lost in the winter of despair, this Patronus will leap out of your wand with silent, stunning grace to your side.

Snowy Owl (unusual)
Snowy owls value large, unrestricted spaces. People producing snowy owl Patronuses often have a “special space” they go to when they’re feeling down. Coping skills may include going for walks, spending time alone, checking in with a close friend or partner, exercising, and sunbathing. A Snowy Owl patronus represents an owner who is very wise and intelligent. This as a patronus can show that the owner of this patronus finds comfort in facts and knowledge. You are very intelligent and easily use your knowledge in situations when it is needed, especially for a friend or family, but even for a stranger. You use the endless things you’ve learned about anything to help anyone you can. If someone disagrees with your opinion you stand your ground and refuse to give up, because you have the facts and intelligence to prove your point. You have facts to prove every decision you make, or you are so curious, no matter how bad an idea sounds you do it anyway, to learn. Snowy owls are also unique in that they are monogamous. You are likely to place even more emphasis on personal relationships when producing this patronus. This does not necessarily mean you are especially extroverted or gregarious. You merely place a great deal of importance on long-term interpersonal relationships. You may feel comfort when receiving validation from those you love most.
Sparrow/Sparrowhawk
A sparrow hawk patronus can represent an owner who values leadership, but knows that time to step in. As well as that, it can represent a witch or wizard with great observation skills, who is able to step out to see all sides of the story. You are very logical and focused on seeing every opinion to make sure yours is correct. Sparrow hawks represent focus and determination. They remind us to understand the past, the present, and the future, and to not be so caught up in minor inconveniences. Above all, the sparrow hawk represents alertness, as they are known as warning totems that let others know when to avoid a situation. Having a Sparrow as your Patronus means you find comfort in the convention. Routine and tradition appeal to you, and you like feeling like you belong and are needed by your inner circle. You’re not really the sort to go out seeking attention – you like your creature comforts and are single-minded in your personal ambitions. But woe to anyone who presumes that your targeted ambition and modest nature make you weak or ineffectual – you are strong in your convictions and devoted to the ones you care about, and those two traits make you a force to be reckoned with. Whenever you find yourself on the precipice of despair, this Patronus will swoop out of your wand to your rescue. It will sing a sweet, uplifting song in your ear, and the relentless rhythm will steady your heart rate and encourage you to clench your jaw a little tighter and raise your wand a little higher. If the dementors think you are so insignificant, then you’ll just have to prove them wrong! As your patronus is the sparrow hawk, you find comfort in preparation. It is best for you to be ready, that way you can formulate a plan before jumping into a situation head-on. If you have an inkling of what to expect, you easily examine the challenge and then take it in stride. This helps you stay on track and level-headed, as you dislike focusing on small details for too long.
Sphynx Cat
Cats in general are symbolic of curiosity, independence, and patience. Sphinxes are generally known to be curious, affectionate attention-seekers who love being around people, to the extent that some cat breeders claim it’s the perfect cat for dog lovers to own. They’ve even been used as therapy animals! Having a Sphynx as your Patronus means you find comfort in affection. You love love, which seems like an unusual trait to find in an individualistic Slytherin house, but it actually fits rather well when one remembers that Slytherins are also ambitious sorts. You are someone who likes being well-liked by the people around you – you are daring and unafraid of standing out, and so people generally tend to look at you with admiration. Now of course, if you encounter haters, you’re not the sort to crumple and change yourself to please them, but you generally like to have more friends than enemies. It makes you very charming and amiable compared to some of your serpentine housemates, which makes you unique and special! Should you ever find yourself shrinking back against the kind of darkness that surrounds and traps you like monsters coming out of your closet, your Patronus will come for you. It will bound out of your wand, rolling around once in the air before leaping over to your shoulder and rubbing up against your cheek. Its hairless body will radiate warmth and comfort, and you won’t be able to keep the smile off your face as it bounds off your shoulder again at your opponent, playfully chasing the nightmares away as if they were mice.
St. Bernard
Despite their size, St. Bernards are very sweet, gentle dogs. They are very friendly and rarely bark without a good reason. St. Bernards thrive in family conditions and are calm, patient, and watchful. Having a St. Bernard as a Patronus means that you find comfort in knowing that the ones you love are safe. When you fight, it is not so much a fight to protect yourself as it is to protect the ones you love. You are at your strongest when you approach a situation calmly. For you, it is best to wait and observe until you have a clear idea of how your enemies fight instead of racing in headfirst. As a Patronus, St. Bernard will be there for you whenever you need help to defend the ones you love. With this patronus, you’ll rarely need to worry about stray spells hitting a friend or family member. The St. Bernard will give you warning before anything bad can happen and will hold off a swarm of enemies in order to give you a moment of calm, a moment to watch, amidst a sea of darkness. Saint Bernards are a Swiss dog breed, specifically bred to be rescue dogs. As I’m sure you can then imagine, these dogs are quite lovable but are in no way cowardly lap dogs. They were once used to assist travelers and later as guard dogs. Saint Bernards are a well-known and widely-respected breed. Those with a saint Bernard patronus find comfort in helping others. It comes as second nature, as you are willing to risk a lot for your friends and family. You can easily tell when someone is in need of a friend, and you are almost always there for them, even if it’s someone you barely know or have just met. When nearing a possibly dangerous situation, you’re always cautious and on high alert, but still prepared to take a few risks. In the end, knowing that you’re there for someone comes as solace for both that person and yourself. A St. Bernard patronus can also represent an owner who values positivity and tends to be more emotional. As well it represents an owner who craves fun and adventure.
Stag (unusual)
Your Patronus is a stag! Often titled as the King of the Forest, the stag is a magnificent creature with nimble legs and extraordinary antlers. The stag tends to be brown in color, and it can be found in a variety of habitats, including prairies, tundras, and (of course) the forest. In different cultures, the stag has come to symbolize many things, some of the most notable including: sensitivity, gentleness, harmony, and independence. If the stag is your patronus, you find comfort in strength. You’re confident in your abilities to overcome adversity and take the world in stride. Sometimes, you need to be reminded of your capabilities, but you never stay down for long. Whether your friends give you that little nudge or you take the time to reflect on yourself, you always manage to get back up. You know you can face any challenge that comes your way, and you’re always there to watch over your friends and loved ones to help them overcome their obstacles. At the end of the day, you are prepared to face anything and everything to reach your goal. Having a stag as your Patronus means that you find comfort in order. The world is a rushing river full of billions of little details, and it is often difficult to wade through everything that it has to offer. To put it simply: the world is full of chaos (though that is not necessarily a negative thing). You, however, thrive when you are able to step out of the rushing current and breathe. Everything has a place, and it is only when they are put into those places that they can begin to work together (as we see in places like our forests). You seek peace and balance in the world. Order is something that often only comes with time and hard work. When you’re at your lowest point, with your back up against the wall, this Patronus will appear to remind you of the inner core of strength within you and encourage you to stand against the threat with your head held high. Do the dementors wish for a battle? Well, then they shall have one – and they will lose. As a Patronus, the stag will be there for you whenever you become caught in the chaos of the world and cannot find a way out. In battle, your patronus will bring balance while everything else roars around you. It will lead you through the hardship and help you bring order back to the world.
Stoat
A stoat, or an ermine, is commonly known as a short-tailed weasel. Stoats represent the youthful and beautiful. In some religions, they are sacred animals whose white winter coats symbolize purity; they can otherwise be used to show high status or boldness. If a stoat is your patronus, you find comfort in purity. “Death over defilement” is a phrase sometimes associated with stoats, due to a myth about a queen in Brittany being inspired by the creature’s willingness to risk its life as opposed to ruining its snowy white fur. Having a Stoat Patronus means that you find comfort in movement. You are not someone who likes being fenced in – appropriate to the house of snakes, you like having the freedom to move and contort on a whim. Stagnancy makes you uncomfortable. More than anything, you like constant mobility, preferably in the upward variety, like toward a goal you are chasing. The thrill of the hunt is just exciting to you as actually catching your prey because the journey alone fulfills you. This guardian will sprout from your wand when you are feeling hopelessly trapped and too chained down by negativity to move or think. It will quickly scurry up to your side and encourage you to keep going and bust free of all of the emotional fences that try to keep you contained. Your life is a journey, and it’s not even close to being over yet! You would much rather stay true and pure to yourself and your morals. You take pride in what you believe in and do not appreciate rough turmoil. Instead, you take the high road granting respect and keeping your head held high.
Swallow
Swallows have been a homing beacon for sailors for generations – because they don’t fly very far out to sea, their presence in the sky would signal to a man at sea that land is near and, thus, that his voyage is coming to an end. For this reason, the birds have also been associated with hope, love, and devotion, as any sailor would love the idea that, like the swallow, their friends and family are there waiting for them back on the mainland after their long journey. Having a Swallow as your Patronus means you find comfort in happy endings. Your main drive is your ambition and passion, and nothing makes you happier than finally achieving your goal and winning the prize you’d long sought. When you are at your lowest point, devoid of hope, the Swallow is the guardian that will tell you your goal is within reach – that you’re almost back to land, almost at the finish line. The swallow is the very sign of nobility and grace. Their loyalty is unwavering to the people they care about and are usually the ones to make the hard, but right, decisions. They are the ones who give advice, usually for relationships, whether romantic or family. They usually take a hit for someone because they know they can handle it the best, and they usually can. It is your beacon of hope – the star that will guide you out of the darkness. It will always fly to you when you have need of it and will fly beside you until you make it through the night.
Swift
Swifts are highly aerial birds, and they tend to look a lot like swallows. They’re present on all continents except Antarctica, though they also aren’t found in the far north, large deserts, or many oceanic islands. They tend to migrate a lot, and they can survive short periods of cold weather due to torpor, a state similar to hibernation. Having this speedy flyer as your Patronus means you like to make fast decisions, and you tend to move faster with your life faster than others. You work well under pressure, as the need for speed makes you turn out better work, and you’re able to work well in business, which often requires a snap decision too. You make decisions about your own life fast too, like choosing what you want to do with your day or your year, and you don’t like to waste time thinking about the details right now, you’ll do it later. You’ve perfected the art of a quick decision, so they rarely backfire on you, but when they do, they REALLY go wrong. Look to the swift, and while it’s fine to make snap decisions, you do sometimes need to evaluate a choice first before you make it, so when making large decisions that will affect you or others for years to come, slow down and make sure you really look at the problem from all angles.
[/PTab={tab-hover-background-color:#ae2851; tab-selected-font-size:18px; tab-selected-background-color:#333333; }]Having this quick swimmer as your Patronus means you find comfort in being asked for advice. You still possess an uncanny intelligence and wisdom, so much to the point you may have thought you were a Ravenclaw, to begin with, but later realized you were a Hufflepuff, and the wisdom you have can be used to help people. While you can be bombarded with requests for help or a nugget of wisdom, you still love to help people, be it with relationship advice, career advice or just something as simple as helping someone pick their dinner. As someone who is very wise, people often come to you for advice and help. Not only that, but you are very kind and charismatic. People are drawn to you and tend to trust you quickly. You will help anyone who comes to you and find it to be one of the highest compliments that you are so often sought out. Despite this, you are by no means someone to be messed with. Sometimes people underestimate you based on your friendly and helpful attitude, but that is a severe miscalculation on their part. Your wisdom, leadership skills, and powerful personality, all make you someone to be reckoned with. Not only that, but you are courageous and unafraid to face things head-on.

You are also sharp and flexible enough to follow the waves where they take you, being willing to both take risks or play it safe depending on when it is more prudent to do so. If you ever come to the end of the line, trapped against the wall by hopelessness as it sharpens its claws for you, this Patronus will swim to your rescue. It will emerge from your wand with a splash of pure white water, and all at once, the waves will crash over you, clearing your vision and your mind and allowing you to see your surroundings more clearly. You also are a very well-grounded person and usually know what you want and will stop at nothing to get it.

A Snowy Owl patronus represents an owner who is very wise and intelligent. This as a patronus can show that the owner of this patronus finds comfort in facts and knowledge. You are very intelligent and easily use your knowledge in situations when it is needed, especially for a friend or family, but even for a stranger. You use the endless things you’ve learned about anything to help anyone you can. If someone disagrees with your opinion you stand your ground and refuse to give up, because you have the facts and intelligence to prove your point. You have facts to prove every decision you make, or you are so curious, no matter how bad an idea sounds you do it anyway, to learn. Snowy owls are also unique in that they are monogamous. You are likely to place even more emphasis on personal relationships when producing this patronus. This does not necessarily mean you are especially extroverted or gregarious. You merely place a great deal of importance on long-term interpersonal relationships. You may feel comfort when receiving validation from those you love most.
Sparrow/Sparrowhawk
A sparrow hawk patronus can represent an owner who values leadership, but knows that time to step in. As well as that, it can represent a witch or wizard with great observation skills, who is able to step out to see all sides of the story. You are very logical and focused on seeing every opinion to make sure yours is correct. Sparrow hawks represent focus and determination. They remind us to understand the past, the present, and the future, and to not be so caught up in minor inconveniences. Above all, the sparrow hawk represents alertness, as they are known as warning totems that let others know when to avoid a situation. Having a Sparrow as your Patronus means you find comfort in the convention. Routine and tradition appeal to you, and you like feeling like you belong and are needed by your inner circle. You’re not really the sort to go out seeking attention – you like your creature comforts and are single-minded in your personal ambitions. But woe to anyone who presumes that your targeted ambition and modest nature make you weak or ineffectual – you are strong in your convictions and devoted to the ones you care about, and those two traits make you a force to be reckoned with. Whenever you find yourself on the precipice of despair, this Patronus will swoop out of your wand to your rescue. It will sing a sweet, uplifting song in your ear, and the relentless rhythm will steady your heart rate and encourage you to clench your jaw a little tighter and raise your wand a little higher. If the dementors think you are so insignificant, then you’ll just have to prove them wrong! As your patronus is the sparrow hawk, you find comfort in preparation. It is best for you to be ready, that way you can formulate a plan before jumping into a situation head-on. If you have an inkling of what to expect, you easily examine the challenge and then take it in stride. This helps you stay on track and level-headed, as you dislike focusing on small details for too long.
Sphynx Cat
Cats in general are symbolic of curiosity, independence, and patience. Sphinxes are generally known to be curious, affectionate attention-seekers who love being around people, to the extent that some cat breeders claim it’s the perfect cat for dog lovers to own. They’ve even been used as therapy animals! Having a Sphynx as your Patronus means you find comfort in affection. You love love, which seems like an unusual trait to find in an individualistic Slytherin house, but it actually fits rather well when one remembers that Slytherins are also ambitious sorts. You are someone who likes being well-liked by the people around you – you are daring and unafraid of standing out, and so people generally tend to look at you with admiration. Now of course, if you encounter haters, you’re not the sort to crumple and change yourself to please them, but you generally like to have more friends than enemies. It makes you very charming and amiable compared to some of your serpentine housemates, which makes you unique and special! Should you ever find yourself shrinking back against the kind of darkness that surrounds and traps you like monsters coming out of your closet, your Patronus will come for you. It will bound out of your wand, rolling around once in the air before leaping over to your shoulder and rubbing up against your cheek. Its hairless body will radiate warmth and comfort, and you won’t be able to keep the smile off your face as it bounds off your shoulder again at your opponent, playfully chasing the nightmares away as if they were mice.
St. Bernard
Despite their size, St. Bernards are very sweet, gentle dogs. They are very friendly and rarely bark without a good reason. St. Bernards thrive in family conditions and are calm, patient, and watchful. Having a St. Bernard as a Patronus means that you find comfort in knowing that the ones you love are safe. When you fight, it is not so much a fight to protect yourself as it is to protect the ones you love. You are at your strongest when you approach a situation calmly. For you, it is best to wait and observe until you have a clear idea of how your enemies fight instead of racing in headfirst. As a Patronus, St. Bernard will be there for you whenever you need help to defend the ones you love. With this patronus, you’ll rarely need to worry about stray spells hitting a friend or family member. The St. Bernard will give you warning before anything bad can happen and will hold off a swarm of enemies in order to give you a moment of calm, a moment to watch, amidst a sea of darkness. Saint Bernards are a Swiss dog breed, specifically bred to be rescue dogs. As I’m sure you can then imagine, these dogs are quite lovable but are in no way cowardly lap dogs. They were once used to assist travelers and later as guard dogs. Saint Bernards are a well-known and widely-respected breed. Those with a saint Bernard patronus find comfort in helping others. It comes as second nature, as you are willing to risk a lot for your friends and family. You can easily tell when someone is in need of a friend, and you are almost always there for them, even if it’s someone you barely know or have just met. When nearing a possibly dangerous situation, you’re always cautious and on high alert, but still prepared to take a few risks. In the end, knowing that you’re there for someone comes as solace for both that person and yourself. A St. Bernard patronus can also represent an owner who values positivity and tends to be more emotional. As well it represents an owner who craves fun and adventure.
Stag (unusual)
Your Patronus is a stag! Often titled as the King of the Forest, the stag is a magnificent creature with nimble legs and extraordinary antlers. The stag tends to be brown in color, and it can be found in a variety of habitats, including prairies, tundras, and (of course) the forest. In different cultures, the stag has come to symbolize many things, some of the most notable including: sensitivity, gentleness, harmony, and independence. If the stag is your patronus, you find comfort in strength. You’re confident in your abilities to overcome adversity and take the world in stride. Sometimes, you need to be reminded of your capabilities, but you never stay down for long. Whether your friends give you that little nudge or you take the time to reflect on yourself, you always manage to get back up. You know you can face any challenge that comes your way, and you’re always there to watch over your friends and loved ones to help them overcome their obstacles. At the end of the day, you are prepared to face anything and everything to reach your goal. Having a stag as your Patronus means that you find comfort in order. The world is a rushing river full of billions of little details, and it is often difficult to wade through everything that it has to offer. To put it simply: the world is full of chaos (though that is not necessarily a negative thing). You, however, thrive when you are able to step out of the rushing current and breathe. Everything has a place, and it is only when they are put into those places that they can begin to work together (as we see in places like our forests). You seek peace and balance in the world. Order is something that often only comes with time and hard work. When you’re at your lowest point, with your back up against the wall, this Patronus will appear to remind you of the inner core of strength within you and encourage you to stand against the threat with your head held high. Do the dementors wish for a battle? Well, then they shall have one – and they will lose. As a Patronus, the stag will be there for you whenever you become caught in the chaos of the world and cannot find a way out. In battle, your patronus will bring balance while everything else roars around you. It will lead you through the hardship and help you bring order back to the world.
Stoat
A stoat, or an ermine, is commonly known as a short-tailed weasel. Stoats represent the youthful and beautiful. In some religions, they are sacred animals whose white winter coats symbolize purity; they can otherwise be used to show high status or boldness. If a stoat is your patronus, you find comfort in purity. “Death over defilement” is a phrase sometimes associated with stoats, due to a myth about a queen in Brittany being inspired by the creature’s willingness to risk its life as opposed to ruining its snowy white fur. Having a Stoat Patronus means that you find comfort in movement. You are not someone who likes being fenced in – appropriate to the house of snakes, you like having the freedom to move and contort on a whim. Stagnancy makes you uncomfortable. More than anything, you like constant mobility, preferably in the upward variety, like toward a goal you are chasing. The thrill of the hunt is just exciting to you as actually catching your prey because the journey alone fulfills you. This guardian will sprout from your wand when you are feeling hopelessly trapped and too chained down by negativity to move or think. It will quickly scurry up to your side and encourage you to keep going and bust free of all of the emotional fences that try to keep you contained. Your life is a journey, and it’s not even close to being over yet! You would much rather stay true and pure to yourself and your morals. You take pride in what you believe in and do not appreciate rough turmoil. Instead, you take the high road granting respect and keeping your head held high.
Swallow
Swallows have been a homing beacon for sailors for generations – because they don’t fly very far out to sea, their presence in the sky would signal to a man at sea that land is near and, thus, that his voyage is coming to an end. For this reason, the birds have also been associated with hope, love, and devotion, as any sailor would love the idea that, like the swallow, their friends and family are there waiting for them back on the mainland after their long journey. Having a Swallow as your Patronus means you find comfort in happy endings. Your main drive is your ambition and passion, and nothing makes you happier than finally achieving your goal and winning the prize you’d long sought. When you are at your lowest point, devoid of hope, the Swallow is the guardian that will tell you your goal is within reach – that you’re almost back to land, almost at the finish line. The swallow is the very sign of nobility and grace. Their loyalty is unwavering to the people they care about and are usually the ones to make the hard, but right, decisions. They are the ones who give advice, usually for relationships, whether romantic or family. They usually take a hit for someone because they know they can handle it the best, and they usually can. It is your beacon of hope – the star that will guide you out of the darkness. It will always fly to you when you have need of it and will fly beside you until you make it through the night.
Swift
Swifts are highly aerial birds, and they tend to look a lot like swallows. They’re present on all continents except Antarctica, though they also aren’t found in the far north, large deserts, or many oceanic islands. They tend to migrate a lot, and they can survive short periods of cold weather due to torpor, a state similar to hibernation. Having this speedy flyer as your Patronus means you like to make fast decisions, and you tend to move faster with your life faster than others. You work well under pressure, as the need for speed makes you turn out better work, and you’re able to work well in business, which often requires a snap decision too. You make decisions about your own life fast too, like choosing what you want to do with your day or your year, and you don’t like to waste time thinking about the details right now, you’ll do it later. You’ve perfected the art of a quick decision, so they rarely backfire on you, but when they do, they REALLY go wrong. Look to the swift, and while it’s fine to make snap decisions, you do sometimes need to evaluate a choice first before you make it, so when making large decisions that will affect you or others for years to come, slow down and make sure you really look at the problem from all angles.
[PTab=T - V]
Thestral (very rare)
Thestrals are a rare type of mythical creature that can only be seen if you’ve witnessed death and gained an emotional understanding of what death means. They pose no threat to humans, nor are they harbingers of bad luck. Thestrals represent a journey to another dimension, and if you choose to trust them, they will reward you with faithfulness and obedience. Having this oddity for a Patronus means you find speed comforting. You can’t stand being stuck in traffic, or being held up for any reason! You’ve been known to huff a little when the elevator needs to make more stops than yours, and don’t like lines at all! You always like to arrive with a little time to spare. Having a Thestral as a Patronus means that you find comfort in finality. You are comforted in knowing that a project is finished and that you have cleared another hurdle in your life. To you, it is not an end, but an invitation to begin a new journey. It takes a lot of time, and a lot of effort, to work on a project all the way through. And it takes a special strength to step back and let go once you’ve finished. Finality, of course, can also mean death, but that is why your patronus is here. You understand that death is inevitable and that there must be death to be life, so you don’t fear or dread it, but you also know that when you die, you’ll need to pass on and let go. Unless you want to live a terrible half-life as a ghost, full of regrets and grasping at the humanity you once had, you have to live without regret and take every risk you can. You must live a life worth remembering so that you can die happily and pass the torch on to the future. Whenever life seems unbearable and your mind wanders toward endless emptiness, your guardian will burst from your wand with the gentle grace of an angel and instill in you the courage to fly into the dark. Death is not an enemy to be conquered – it is your friend…and thus you have nothing in the world left to fear. As a Patronus, the Thestral will do its best to ensure that you will not experience any horrors, any sorrow. Your Patronus being a thestral might mean you feel as though you stand alone most of the time. You might feel burdened by something in your past, or an experience, and the thestral is here to comfort you by reminding you that you have made it through your darkest days. If you ever feel as if you cannot take another step, your patronus being a thestral will be a constant whisper in your ear that you are always strong enough to keep moving forward. The Thestral, you see, is a patronus that truly knows what it’s like to experience loss. It will prevent that loss for as long as possible, and, if you ever do lose someone during a battle, your patronus will protect you as you grieve, remain a beacon of light in the darkness, and help you up when you’re ready to keep moving forward. his is the guardian that will always remind you of both when you are at your lowest point and will help you get back on your feet, spread your wings, and fly.
Tiger/Tigress (unusual)
The tiger is a very strong, independent patronus. They have a fierce personality to them that they show openly, and have no problem doing it. However, there is more to them than just an impression, they have parts of their past that are a bit dark, and that has caused them to grow a bit cynical. They don’t like to show their feelings to others, as they like to maintain the impression for themselves and for others that they are unbreakable. They are not fast to warm up to anyone, but once they do they will protect you with all that they have. A tiger patronus reflects a unique amount of willpower and courage; you are able to rise above all conflicts and pass through all forms of adversity with grace and skill. In some cultures, tigers are seen as the king of all animals, so you are certainly not a follower but a leader. They’re most commonly identified by their strong emotions, their bravery, and their unpredictability. Having a tigress as your Patronus means that you find comfort in taking charge of a situation. This does not necessarily mean that you have to be the leader, it just means that you won’t allow yourself to be pushed around by others! As a Patronus, the tigress is a strong creature to have by your side. She will make sure that no one will be able to touch you, and when you begin to falter, she will push you to continue. With the tigress, you will find that you will never flounder in battle, as she will always be there to push back swarming enemies and allowing you to find your footing, to find control. If your patronus is a tiger, you find comfort in facing challenges on your own. This doesn’t come as difficult for you, as you move through life with great, ground-shaking strides. You are confident when people look up to you for advice or leadership, and you take little time planning and going about business. Why would you bother? You can easily trust your intuition and have no problem going with your gut; that’s typically when things turn out the greatest. When someone gives you a task, you take it with a grin and get right to it, and thus people have no hesitations when it comes to asking you for help or telling you to do something. It’ll definitely get done, whether it be by conventional means or your own special way.
Tonkinese Cat
Tonkinese cats are the love child between the Burmese cat and the Siamese, and it is a friendly, active, and loving kitty, and it tends to be a cat that demands attention and affection. They’re also intelligent and active, as they love to jump to high places and will learn tricks quickly. They’re also vocal, though their voice isn’t as raspy as the Siamese. Having this soft feline as your Patronus means you find being an all-rounder to be of comfort. You don’t want to be the BEST at something, but you want to be good at lots of things, like a jack-of-all-trades. You want to be good at lots of things, just like the Tonk cat, as they are good at lots of things, and they’re so versatile. You like to be of use to as many people as possible, so being good at replacing light globes, organizing drawers, driving and dancing makes you feel good knowing you’re a help to others, and others truly do love to accept your help, because they know you’re happy to help and you’ll get the job done and properly, the first time! As a patronus, it can represent an owner that finds comfort in playfulness and confidence, and in the time of need, is always ready to hear a joke. The owner of this patronus always tries or hopes for someone else to attempt to lighten the mood when things get rough. The owner of this patronus can be particularly playful as well, but the owner of this patronus is more competitive and ambitious with their playfulness, wanting to have fun, but also being incredibly serious.
Tortoiseshell Cat
If your patronus is a tortoiseshell cat, consider yourself lucky…literally! In Celtic folklore, tortoiseshell cats were seen as good luck charms which brought good fortune into the home. Still now, the Scottish and the Irish see them as symbols of luck. It’s likely that you feel like you need some luck in your life every now and then, or that you find yourself a very lucky person! You also probably take comfort in someone who will defend you fiercely when the need arises, especially when it feels like you cannot do that yourself! The tortoiseshell cat will bring you comfort due to its ability to stand out from a crowd, and protect its loved ones!! Tortoiseshell cats also have very distinct personalities; they are strong-willed, sometimes have short tempers, and are quite protective. Having a calico cat as your Patronus means that you find strength in difference and change. This might sound a bit counter-intuitive, as change can tend to be quite scary and cause big shifts in life! In reality, it means that you can’t live when you’re standing still. You are at your strongest when you’re discovering new things and participating in unique experiences. As someone who is willing to embrace change, embrace the unknown, there is no doubt that you are brimming with daring and courage. As a Patronus, the tortoiseshell cat will be there for you in your rare moments of fear and doubt. She will remind you why you’re fighting, remind you of your cause and the change that you’re trying to bring about. She will make sure that enemies cannot hold you back and will help you break free, even in the darkest of times. With this patronus, you most likely find comfort in company. Just like your patronus, you are a bit protective and you do all you can to protect your friends and family. Being around your friends gives you a boost of both energy and confidence. Depending on the scenario, it can also give you a sense of purpose. Teamwork is rarely an issue, but you also tend to thrive in smaller groups. Not only that, but you’re unafraid to stand up for your others when they really need it.
Unicorn (very rare)
Unicorns are extremely rare creatures, and have never been sighted by a Muggle, though they like to fantasize all about them! It is said that unicorn blood can save you from death, even if it is already there for you, though to have the gall to do it will cost you, and you will live only a half-life, as told to us by Firenze in the Forbidden Forest. In Muggle Mythology, drinking from its horn supposedly will cure epilepsy, poisoning, and stomach trouble, and is a tricky one to capture other legends say only a virgin woman can catch it, as she needs to be thrown in front of it. The unicorn supposedly then leaps into her lap and ‘suckles it’, then it is led to a new place. This legend refers to the purity and goodness of the creature, as it is thought to be able to make poisoned water drinkable and heal any sickness. With a unicorn as your Patronus, you definitely find comfort in wonder. Mysteries and secrets appeal to you and your curiosity is boundless. As you travel throughout life, your thirst for knowledge will bring forth success in your endeavors. You appreciate the wonder in all aspects of life and believe that some amount of faith, even in the most impossible of sticky situations, will certainly help you get over your obstacles. Whether it be through fables, folklore, or traditional tales, you love all aspects of the unusual or the unbelievable. Above all, you believe in the power of dreams and wishes, and it’s hard to make you hang your head in defeat! Your guardian brings out the very best in you – when it appears beside you, its pure desire to protect you is more than enough to encourage you to likewise protect it, because you know how cruel the world can be to the unicorn’s virtues. This also plays into your active, physical Wampus side. Your Patronus is your guardian by encouraging you to become its guardian, transforming you into your own hero. Having this mythical creature as a patronus shows you find comfort in elusiveness. Much like the unicorn, only certain things or people will draw you out. You don’t hate people, not at all, but being a special occasion style person makes you feel like people appreciate you more, and besides, people use you for your kindness and try to take advantage of you, so staying hard to find protects you. Your Patronus is one that won’t come and help if it feels you don’t need it, so make it count!
Vole
Voles are unusual mouse-like creatures that grow very quickly and have incredibly short lifespans. Despite their short lives, however, they are almost always monogamous in their relationships and very devoted to their families – in fact, there have even been studies done examining how voles will rush to comfort others of their kind when they are in pain or distress. In Scottish mythology, there is a creature called a Lavellan that greatly resembles a water vole, and it was believed that dipping one’s pelt in water could create a healing tonic for ill livestock. Having a Vole as your Patronus means you find comfort in taking care of others. You are a “mothering” sort to the ones you love and you look after their interests as well as your own. When someone you love is in pain, you’ll be there in a hurry to both tend to their wounds and give a good beating to whoever is responsible. You have a big heart and a noble nature, so the small and weak tend to gravitate and look up to you. When darkness haunts your doorstep like an unwelcome visitor, this Patronus will come for you. Its size will not matter, for when it crawls out of your wand, up your arm, and up to your shoulder to rub up against your cheek, you will feel a curtain of reassurance and calm wash over you. You won’t be alone in this battle…and you are always stronger when you know you have your loved ones to fight for!
Vulture (unusual)
Vultures are fearless. Having your Patronus takes the form of a vulture means that you have the strength in you to be yourself, flaws and all, should you come to accept yourself inside and out. Sometimes it’s hard facing the world, or even your own internal struggles and you may be tempted to reject it, but you have the power to face it and come out on top. This is not a strength everyone has… to be honest with oneself. Would I be wrong in saying you are a patient and tolerant person? That’s a very common trait in a vulture. Naturally, I don’t just mean in the sense that you don’t mind waiting for a new episode of something you like, which may make anyone a bit fidgety, haha. The animal form just shows off what is most true about yourself and what animal exhibits that combination just right in nature. As a vulture, you are a survivor. You are intelligent, adaptable, accepting, and not afraid to be who you are, either. You’re likely an accepting person and are willing to go with the situational flow and accept another for what they are, where others may not. Are you also called upon, or perhaps even take it upon yourself, to clean up others’ messes? No matter how bad they are? A vulture is dutiful, getting things done even if they don’t always like it. Do you also like to analyze things? Vultures are quite intelligent and often like looking at stuff from perspectives no one has thought to try before. There’s a reason the bird isn’t a common animal to get, as most people don’t quite fit enough for their patronus to grow these great wings and soar.

And it takes a special strength to step back and let go once you’ve finished. Finality, of course, can also mean death, but that is why your patronus is here.

The tortoiseshell cat will bring you comfort due to its ability to stand out from a crowd, and protect its loved ones!! Tortoiseshell cats also have very distinct personalities; they are strong-willed, sometimes have short tempers, and are quite protective. Having a calico cat as your Patronus means that you find strength in difference and change. This might sound a bit counter-intuitive, as change can tend to be quite scary and cause big shifts in life! In reality, it means that you can’t live when you’re standing still. You are at your strongest when you’re discovering new things and participating in unique experiences. As someone who is willing to embrace change, embrace the unknown, there is no doubt that you are brimming with daring and courage. As a Patronus, the tortoiseshell cat will be there for you in your rare moments of fear and doubt. She will remind you why you’re fighting, remind you of your cause and the change that you’re trying to bring about. She will make sure that enemies cannot hold you back and will help you break free, even in the darkest of times. With this patronus, you most likely find comfort in company. Just like your patronus, you are a bit protective and you do all you can to protect your friends and family. Being around your friends gives you a boost of both energy and confidence. Depending on the scenario, it can also give you a sense of purpose. Teamwork is rarely an issue, but you also tend to thrive in smaller groups. Not only that, but you’re unafraid to stand up for your others when they really need it.
Unicorn (very rare)
Unicorns are extremely rare creatures, and have never been sighted by a Muggle, though they like to fantasize all about them! It is said that unicorn blood can save you from death, even if it is already there for you, though to have the gall to do it will cost you, and you will live only a half-life, as told to us by Firenze in the Forbidden Forest. In Muggle Mythology, drinking from its horn supposedly will cure epilepsy, poisoning, and stomach trouble, and is a tricky one to capture other legends say only a virgin woman can catch it, as she needs to be thrown in front of it. The unicorn supposedly then leaps into her lap and ‘suckles it’, then it is led to a new place. This legend refers to the purity and goodness of the creature, as it is thought to be able to make poisoned water drinkable and heal any sickness. With a unicorn as your Patronus, you definitely find comfort in wonder. Mysteries and secrets appeal to you and your curiosity is boundless. As you travel throughout life, your thirst for knowledge will bring forth success in your endeavors. You appreciate the wonder in all aspects of life and believe that some amount of faith, even in the most impossible of sticky situations, will certainly help you get over your obstacles. Whether it be through fables, folklore, or traditional tales, you love all aspects of the unusual or the unbelievable. Above all, you believe in the power of dreams and wishes, and it’s hard to make you hang your head in defeat! Your guardian brings out the very best in you – when it appears beside you, its pure desire to protect you is more than enough to encourage you to likewise protect it, because you know how cruel the world can be to the unicorn’s virtues. This also plays into your active, physical Wampus side. Your Patronus is your guardian by encouraging you to become its guardian, transforming you into your own hero. Having this mythical creature as a patronus shows you find comfort in elusiveness. Much like the unicorn, only certain things or people will draw you out. You don’t hate people, not at all, but being a special occasion style person makes you feel like people appreciate you more, and besides, people use you for your kindness and try to take advantage of you, so staying hard to find protects you. Your Patronus is one that won’t come and help if it feels you don’t need it, so make it count!
Vole
Voles are unusual mouse-like creatures that grow very quickly and have incredibly short lifespans. Despite their short lives, however, they are almost always monogamous in their relationships and very devoted to their families – in fact, there have even been studies done examining how voles will rush to comfort others of their kind when they are in pain or distress. In Scottish mythology, there is a creature called a Lavellan that greatly resembles a water vole, and it was believed that dipping one’s pelt in water could create a healing tonic for ill livestock. Having a Vole as your Patronus means you find comfort in taking care of others. You are a “mothering” sort to the ones you love and you look after their interests as well as your own. When someone you love is in pain, you’ll be there in a hurry to both tend to their wounds and give a good beating to whoever is responsible. You have a big heart and a noble nature, so the small and weak tend to gravitate and look up to you. When darkness haunts your doorstep like an unwelcome visitor, this Patronus will come for you. Its size will not matter, for when it crawls out of your wand, up your arm, and up to your shoulder to rub up against your cheek, you will feel a curtain of reassurance and calm wash over you. You won’t be alone in this battle…and you are always stronger when you know you have your loved ones to fight for!
Vulture (unusual)
Vultures are fearless. Having your Patronus takes the form of a vulture means that you have the strength in you to be yourself, flaws and all, should you come to accept yourself inside and out. Sometimes it’s hard facing the world, or even your own internal struggles and you may be tempted to reject it, but you have the power to face it and come out on top. This is not a strength everyone has… to be honest with oneself. Would I be wrong in saying you are a patient and tolerant person? That’s a very common trait in a vulture. Naturally, I don’t just mean in the sense that you don’t mind waiting for a new episode of something you like, which may make anyone a bit fidgety, haha. The animal form just shows off what is most true about yourself and what animal exhibits that combination just right in nature. As a vulture, you are a survivor. You are intelligent, adaptable, accepting, and not afraid to be who you are, either. You’re likely an accepting person and are willing to go with the situational flow and accept another for what they are, where others may not. Are you also called upon, or perhaps even take it upon yourself, to clean up others’ messes? No matter how bad they are? A vulture is dutiful, getting things done even if they don’t always like it. Do you also like to analyze things? Vultures are quite intelligent and often like looking at stuff from perspectives no one has thought to try before. There’s a reason the bird isn’t a common animal to get, as most people don’t quite fit enough for their patronus to grow these great wings and soar.

Weasel
Weasels are slick, furry predators that, by and large, are associated with sneakiness or lack of trustworthiness. Despite this common conception, however, they actually have several different symbolic interpretations. In Germany, it was thought that weasel amulets possessed powerful magic, and in ancient Macedonia, weasels were considered lucky. In Greece, it was thought that an unhappy bride could turn into a weasel and, consequently, take great joy in wrecking the bridal gown and festivities. Having a weasel as your Patronus means you find comfort in precognition. You are very good at telling which way the wind will blow, and appropriate to your house, you are opportunistic enough to take advantage of it. You can blend into most situations you find yourself in, whether it’s a big party with a bunch of friends or a quiet business meeting. It’s comforting to you when you can read other people and the situations you find yourself in well. Even though weasels are known to be loners, preferring the company of only their own species or just themselves, they are loyal to those similar to them. There have been moments when large groups of weasels would carry the body of a dead weasel to bury them. These animals are mysterious and are not likely to show their true self to just anybody. This can mean that you have a bit of a manipulative side but it also makes you a cautious and sharp-witted person who will always put your and your family’s safety over chasing attention or glory for yourself. If you ever find yourself blinded by the darkness of depression and stumbling to get your bearings, this Patronus will sweep out of your wand with a flourish, skirting down your arm to sit on top of your wand hand. It will curl its tail around your wrist, staring out past your enemy, and then a second later, will have darted past it, for it can already see your escape waiting for you just beyond the dementors’ rotted, calloused hands. Its supreme confidence will intimidate the darkness surrounding you and will reassure you that there is a light waiting for you on the other side. Knowing that will make it that much easier for you to overcome the obstacle before you.

Wolf
