> In the series of books created by J. K. Rowling, what animal form did HarryPotter's Patronus take?And the answer: Stag. Photo credit: Wizardingworld.com.In the Wizarding World created by J. K.Rowling, a Patronus is a shield or a protector against Dementors, who attackhumans by feeding on their hope and happiness. Harry Potter is one of theyoungest wizards to cast a corporeal Patronus, which takes the same shape as hisfather's. While some of the most advanced wizards struggle to cast a Patronus, HarryPotter is able to cast the spell at just 13 years old. A Patronus, as ProfessorLupin explains in Prisoner of Azkaban, is a positive force that can effectivelyfight off Dementors. A Patronus can not feel despair, as humans can, and thus isa perfect shield against soul-sucking Dementors.A Patronus has two forms: corporeal and non-corporeal. A non-corporeal Patronustakes the form of a wispy, silver projection of an animal, while a corporealPatronus is clearly defined and often very bright. The ability to cast one orthe other depends on the skill of the witch or wizard— yet young Harry was ableto conjure a dazzling corporeal Patronus to save his friend Hermione and uncleSirius Blacks' lives.A Patronus is conjured by thinking of a very happy, powerful memory. Each witchand wizard has their own unique Patronus who will appear if the words areuttered in tandem: "Expecto patronum."
