After reading Deathly Hallows, did you think anyone's Patronus changed; and if so, what did it change to and what reasons do you have to support your theory? Of those character's Patronuses we don't find out about during the HP series, what would their Patronus be and why? You are more than welcome to choose from more than one of the following options above, and you may discuss those characters that I have inadvertantly omitted. Have fun .

(scorpius) idk tho. molly-definatly something motherly, but bold to match. hmm, it's tough. but i'd like to say a horse(have you ever seen a mare with it's foal!! they are VERY protective and loving) maybe that's why ginny's was a horse? the mother-and-only-daughter sort of bond. dean-i really dont know about dean either. i like dean alot, but we dont know alot of his deep personal life besides his parent situation. tonks-I LOVE TONKS!! but before her's changed into a wolf, i'd think it was something strong and freespirited, like an eagle. hagrid-i think of giant spiders and dragons. something big enough for hagrid. cedric-i wouldnt even know where to start thinking. mr. lovegood-something crazy. l0l. he kinda got on my nerves. remus-an escape from his werewolf form. the total opposite. like a giant cat, a tiger or a panther maybe. for some reason, lupin's is hard to guess for me, ima HUGE lupin fan sirius-a dog. a giant dog. great dane or and irish wolfhound!! but the first person i thought of having a chnged patronus would be george. im not sure what it would be. even tho im pretty sure that they wouldve had similar, if not identical patronus' bc they were exactly alike, finishing each others sentences, same ideas. everything. i dont know what their's wouldve been, but i do know it would something HILARIOUS QUOTE(indigo_star @ Jul 31 2009, 06:18 AM) QUOTE(Fizzing Wizzbee @ Jul 7 2009, 11:33 AM) A bit off the topic, forgive me! If a witch/wizard is an animagnus, does her/his patronus always take the form of the animal she/he turns into. James is an animagnus and transforms into a stag. His patronus is also a stag. Would McGonagall's patronus be a cat, Sirius's a large dog, Rita's a beetle? Anyone else find the idea of Rita having to fend of a Dementor with a beatle hilarious? hell yes!! how funny!! i was thinking that. i hope it's a big beatle This post has been edited by Moose_Starr: Aug 18 2009, 10:47 AM

Just Through the Brick Wall Posts: 2 Joined: 1:39am August 23, 2009	i kind of agree with the whole idea of George's patronus changing after Fred died. It seems to fit the most. Considering Fred was his other half George probably had to go on alot of soul searching after his twin died and that probably drastically changed his patronus because i bet when he was alive the two of them had matching funny ones or ones that compleated eachother. as for Draco's patronus....well i could never really imagine him doing a patronus charm he'd probably be protected by mummy and daddy ( i love draco btw) but if he was foarced to it would probably be something small and cunning maybe even dark. i always seem to think his would be a ferret though...just because of the whole mad-eye incident in the 4th book. and reata skeeter's beatle would be huge!!!! it would thrive off of all of the happyness she gets out of lieing to the public about celebritys.

Just Through the Brick Wall Posts: 2 Joined: 8:28am August 8, 2009	Hi guys! First off, I don't like Ginny's patronus as a horse, yes it's free and all, but it's just not HER. I don't think anyway. I think she would be some form of big cat, like a panther, a jaguar, a lynx or a leopard, Probably a panther or a jaguar out of those 4. Maybe a tiger. YES! A tiger. I don't think it would have changed to match Harry's because she is so independant. I think that after seeing Severus's memory of his dad, Harry's patronus would have changed. I think it was a stag because he idolised his dad, after being told such great stuff about him, but now he realises it was all lies I think that would have changed. I don't think it would have been a phoenix as I think that is his animagus form, though of course they could have been the same. I think a wolf? Does that sound like Harry to you? The independance and loyalty to his few very close friends, but also the agression; he can have a nasty temper. And it's very free. I love wolves! I think Neville's would be a Griffin, not a lion. And I think Draco's could very well be a dragon, or maybe a mongoose as they defend against snakes, and I think he did all of the things he did unwillingly. I'm not really sure about Draco's, actually. Rita Skeeter's beetle, LOL! I didn't like Umbridge's patronus, I think it would have been something sneakier. I think George's and Neville's would have changed, though perhaps Neville couldn't form a Patronus before so it wouldn't have changed. IDK. What does everyone think of my idea of wolf and tiger patroni? I'm not so sure about the wolf, but I love the tiger! Vicky

Just Through the Brick Wall Posts: 6 Joined: 11:16pm April 7, 2009 Location: South Australia	I think that Ginny's being a horse makes sense to me... I guess because I picture wild horses. But Tiger works too, BookwormVicky. I do think that Neville's would have been the main one to change though. I like the idea of his being a lion, because it is so Gryffindor! His along with George. Whatever Fred's was, George's would be now I imagine. -------------------- It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

His patronus would have changed like Tonk's patronus changed when she tried to blame herself for Sirius's death. George would have been just as affected as she was when she lost someone that was close to her.

George would have been just as affected as she was when she lost someone that was close to her. I dind't read it that way. I always thought Tonks' patronus chnaged because Lupin had "rejected her advances" - broken heart etc. I guess I could see how the loss of Sirius could have had the same effect, or maybe a combination of the two very emotional events. How does everyone else feel as to the cause for the change in Tonks' patronus? -------------------- Gringotts Express . . . .

Hermione's otter patronus is significant. The otter is a member of the weasel family (obvious with connection Weasley, and Arthur's patronus is a weasel). Also, The Burrow is situated in Ottery St. Catchpole. Whether Hermione's patronus takes this form because she loves Ron or she just recollects a particuarly happy memory with Harry and Ron when she was at The Burrow sometime. I think the latter is the more likely one. This post has been edited by celven1000: Sep 22 2009, 01:09 PM --------------------

Being Eaten by the Pea Soup Posts: 30 Joined: 1:08pm November 2, 2008 Location: Huntingdon UK	i think fred and george had the same patronus to begin with because they are so similar. perhaps a hyena because of the laughter? ginny's wouldnt have changed she is far too independant and i think much more powerful than harry. some have said that harry's might change because of the snapeVSjames memories. i think thats a load of rubbish. harry is still proud of his dad and very happy to be his son. neville is a definate lion. i dont like luna's rabbit, just seems to common and normal to be her. -------------------- "Oh, of course," said Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead.

I like the idea of his being a lion, because it is so Gryffindor! His along with George. Whatever Fred's was, George's would be now I imagine. Yeah but was that what really happened? The sixth book presented this idea that unrequited love sapped you you of your magical abilities (it also ties in with the whole Albus love quote "Do not pity the dead, pity the living, and most of all those who live without love"). Merope couldn't use her magic because Tom Riddle Snr rejected her and Tonks couldn't morph because Lupin rejected her too. You can say all you like that it was noble, but noble rejection is still rejection. I think Tonks's protronus changed because she yearned for what Lupin represented. His courage, his perseverance, his wisdom, all the admirable qualities she saw in him, Tonks wanted in a protector. Tonks couldn't have Lupin in her life the way she wanted at the time, so she found another way to him in her life. Is it proven that your animagus form is your protronus form? Did JK Rowling say that? I know for a fact that Dumbledore's protronus form is phoenix. I disagree that Lily changed her protronus to fit James' because Snape's protronus would have taken the form of her original protronus. I think it just happened to be a coincidence that James and Lily had Doe and Stag forms. Dumbledore said that protronus form changing form to suite a partner COULD happen not that it was a DEAD SET thing. -------------------- "A man is accepted into church for what he believes--and turned out for what he knows." -Mark Twain "And if you want another kind of love, I'll wear a mask for you..." - Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man, 1988.
