I took the quiz thing on Pottermore and my Patronus is a Calico cat. This made me sob because my first pet, Beanie, was a calico cat, and she passed away about a year ago, it was like she stopped to say hi.

I got the fox Patronus let’s goooooooooooooooo
Foxes are my favourite animal and I’m suspried because I didn’t know there was a fox patronus but if that mine I’m more than happy
So I’m a hufflepuff with a fox patronus
So like… I’ve just took the patronus test and got a pheasant and I was like tf is a pheasant, googled it and realized ANOTHER FLYING ANIMAL I MEAN MUST I TAKE IT AS A SERIOUS IMPLY OF SOMETHING? I DON’T KNOW IT’S JUST TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE PLEASE TELL ME I’M NOT THE ONLY ALL-BIRDS-RELATED-RESULTS OUT THERE
Has anyone ever thought about why Harry Potter's patronus was a stag? Like really thought about it?
Cause it came to me at two in the morning, and now I'm gonna make this everyone else's problem.
So, a patronus is a spell that takes your happiest memory and brings out a shield of some kind, sometimes just mist, but Harry's patronus is powerful enough to take on the shape of an animal, and it's a stag. This spell is literally a personification of safety, it's a shield. So, why would Harry's shield, the thing that stands between him and the crushing emptiness of a dementor, take on that form?
Well, let's go back to when Harry first met a dementor: he fainted, obviously, but that encounter threw him so far into his worst experience that he could hear his mother screaming. The more he encountered dementors, the clearer the memory became, and the more he heard.
Why is this important, you ask? Well, the first VOICE he heard, and this is when he was a year old, was his mother's; he heard Lily begging for his life, begging to exchange her life for his, but a little further down the rabbit hole and he heard James's voice, heard him telling Lily to take Harry and run, that he'd hold off Voldemort, and then he charged off to give them time to escape.
In Harry's darkest moment in his life is also the first time he was really protected. His dad was the shield between him and the greatest evil he could imagine, and still is. Harry's patronus is a stag, is Prongs, because that's his greatest standard, greatest conception, of protection and being protected.
SO I designed this osprey pattern for a stained glass piece, but I cannot for the life of me decide on a color scheme. Thoughts, anyone?
(And by the way, if it occurs to anyone, my profile picture is indeed a stained glass piece that I designed and made myself.)
(Also an osprey is my patronus on pottermore so if I’m being entirely honest that’s what inspired this lol)
his dark materials and harry potter would make the best au ever.
like how cool would that be and it literally makes so much sense.
omg so i had this thought right, and like sirius and james out on a aurors mission yoke and james casts his patronus, but its not a stag like usual. nope its (whatever you headcannon reggie having as his or like reggies anamagus) and james is frozen in shock cause he and reggie had been dating in secret for aaaaages now and like reg is in his last year at hogwarts so james is falling even more in love with reg cause he realises his patronus has changed to match regs meanwhile sirius is sooooo fuckin confused like my man has every theory going through his head trying to figure out who has stolen his best friends heart and its not until reg sends him a patronus message and he connects the dots. but he doesnt tell them he knows, oh no. he fucks with them as much as possible until it gets to like james just blurting it out.

Its SO AMGESTIC 😍😅
tonight i’m thinking about severus snape and all of his sacrifices. the strange relationship he had with harry for years of loathing yet caring. harry, the son of his one true love. the way he watched over him all for her. he cared for her so much deep down that he was willing to protect her child with another man. harry & snape were connected in missing her. that’s how he knew the doe plan would work. he would trust and follow the patronus because it felt like her.

Professor McGonagall
Today is the birthday of Professor McGonagall, our stern but motherly figure while attending Hogwarts, especially for those in her house, Gryffindor. While off topic, as JK Rowling stated she wanted English actors only to portray the Hogwarts students, she also stated that she always wanted Maggie Smith to portray Professor (Minerva) McGonagall who not only played the part but held it as dear to her heart as we do, as she continued to film both Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II.
Professor McGonagall was always a great mother figure to me as she was clearly an independent woman; she was also strict and fair: important qualities for someone who is going to need to guide young wizards, teach, and be a guardian at a boarding school. She was also a role model, maybe not directly as Hermione Granger was, but she taught all of her students (readers included) to stand up for themselves, believe in themselves, and be honest and truthful about yourself, to yourself, and your surroundings.
Some of my best moments with her will always be in regards to Neville, who throughout his years as a students at Hogwarts she repeatedly told him that all he needed was confidence. She further pushed this when after the O.W.L.S. she stood up for him to himself, reminding him that he should be proud of his accomplishments and not base his happiness on his grandmother. With these developments, and her change from guardian to friend as our Hogwarts friends grew older, there was much to admire and adore and want in a personal relationship with Professor McGonagall, all before getting to her history and heartbreak pre-Hogwarts years and her odd relationship with Dumbledore. She was force to be reckoned with, her and her Maggie Smith, and I encourage all to re-read the books and explore her history more to understand how truly Brave, Clever and Kind she was.
OH MY GOODNESS and her AND her patronus was a Cat!!! <3
Harry Potter | Patronus
2017
Another painting of the harry potter patronus because I was so happy w the other one. And i think I wanted one for myself after the other one was given to my sister ¿?
It's very different from the other one, considering how I wanted it to be similar.

Harry Potter | Harry Potter's Patronus
2017
Something I did when I was a little baby at art. Was super happy with how this turned out.
My sister was either the one who prompted me to paint this, or liked it so much that I gave it to her. It's still hanging in her bathroom ❤️

im a firm believer that your animagus is your true self (black cat) and your patronus is who you see as your protector, since its the light spell that protects u from dementors, and is only brought along by feelings of joy or safety (harry saw james as his hero and protector that gave him courage and strength, so james’s animagus was his patronus); love can also make u feel protected as to why people’s patronus changes to match their partner
james was a stag because he (as well as him and lily as a team) was his own protector
id say lilys animagus would be a doe for the same reason
in this essay i will explain why sirius’s pre-azkaban patronus was also a stag—
Harry’s Patronus/Animagus isn’t a Stag. (When I wrote this I was severely sleep deprived and just wrote this out so I could stop thinking about it so i apologise if I don’t make a lot of sense, repeat stuff or spelling errors. I also do loose my point somewhere in here but be patient I do get it back at the end enjoy!)
A stag is James Potter’s animagus and most likely his Patronus.
James and Harry are not the same person.
I hate the idea of Harry’s animagus being a stag since that is just not Harry!
Stags symbolise gentleness, innocence, intuition, and unconditional love, as well as safety, strength, and protection. Basically everything we know as to be James Potter.
His unconditional love with Remus, his protection over Sirius when he ran way, safety and strength is practically his moto and what the rest of the marauders see in James. His strength and the feeling of safety around him is what made so popular.
Harry’s Patronus/Animagus isn’t a Stag.
This maybe a bit of a stretch, but idc, Harry first did a Patronus when he was 13.
When he was 13, he knew fairly a lot about his parents. One thing we really know is that his dad (as Harry thought at the time) was put on a pedestal as a man with no flaws. Harry had met his parents best friends (Remus) and obviously heard a lot about his dad mostly from off handed things like them looking alike.
Harry continuously takes pride when someone’s says this to him in his first couple years in the wizarding world.
But what happened when this pedestal broke? What happened when he found out that his father, a man to be described as the closest thing to perfect, had a lot of flaws (the main one being his arrogance).
In the beginning of OoTP Harry is fully able to produce a Patronus (albeit with a bit of trouble but the kid had still been processing Cedric’s death and Voldemort coming back to life and the graveyard thing so give him a break) but by the time Harry saw snapes memory and went as far to think that Lilly was forced to marry James, he didn’t (as far as I’m aware of) produce a Patronus.
By the sixth and seventh book (when he was questioning who his father was and if he could’ve been too naive) he wasn’t able to produce a Patronus at all.
In my opinion, Harry’s Patronus came from the love and admiration of James. It isn’t even too far fetched.
Tonks and Snape’s both changed to match the ones they love.
Tonks’s turned into a wolf and Snape’s to a doe.
If Tonks had an animagus form it 100% would not be a wolf. It’s the same with Snape. It would most likely (said by the author herself) be a Bat.
Your animagus and Patronus is not the same thing.
As I’ve said, Stags/deers represent gentleness, innocence, intuition, and unconditional love, as well as safety, strength, and protection. This does not suit Harry at all.
Gentleness is not Harry’s forte when it comes to his hot temper, for innocence he has seen more then most adult wizards have and witnessed so many people die, was tourchered by the most powerful man of the age aka his parents murderer, following the death of a classmate/companion, and the person who’s the reason he’s an orphan cut off his hand to rebirth said murderer, many people were there and laughed, etc etc (I could litterly go on all day), the boy is about as observant as a brick wall, unconditional love I can get behind yes he shares that trait, boy has never been safe before in his life what you on about, strength yes he does have a ton of strength for not just getting a gun and shooting bloody old Voldy in his none existent nose and yeah so pretty good with that, protection is a hot topic, since this could mean one of a couple of things:
Lilly’s protection
People y’know dying for him
The boy has never really been protected since he was one sooo
As for all reasons above, Harry Patronus is a stag, not because it fits him, it’s besucase he loves his dad goddammit!!!! AND IN THE DEATHLY HALLOWS MY POINT IS LITTERLY PROVEN WHEN HARRY SAYS: “The fact of his own survival burned inside him, a talisman against them, as though his father’s stag kept guardian in his heart.”
FATHERS STAG!
A better fit for Harry, in my opinion, would be a black cat.
A black cat, to many, is an omen of bad luck. Is some other cultures it’s a sign of good luck however. And we can sure as hell say that his boy has both on his side simultaneously and is fighting each other constantly.
When asking Google what a cat symbolises it says:
“The cat symbolizes grace, intelligence, cunning, and independence. The cat is a fascinating animal that cultures around the world have long revered. They are agile and nimble, able to move with silence and stealth. At the same time, they are also fiercely independent, choosing to live on their own terms.”
Let’s break this apart.
Grace
Grace means, in a short form, elegance.
Elegance is something Harry definitely has, just not on two feet.
When Harry’s is on his broom, playing or practicing Quidditch, he is extremely skilled, earning his spot of the youngest seeker in a century. In his first Quidditch match, Harry won for gryffindor by standing on his broom, somehow balancing his weight perfectly, and was able to catch the snitch. (This may be only in the movie sorry).
Harry’s skills on his broom and in Quidditch are to thank his ability to have such grace on a broom.
Intelligence is something Harry 100% does not lack. “—not a bad mind either—There’s talent, oh my goodness yes—“ - the sorting hat, 1991.
“Not a bad mind either” is to reference that Harry would’ve been a good fit for any house, as in the it referenced all four houses, and the simplification of people in each house value.
Harry is also the person to completely understand Dumbledore’s plan in the deathly hallows so quickly I was honestly shocked
When I read DH I was actually very shocked on how fast Harry picked up on Dumbledore’s plan. He said, almost word for word, what his plan was and Ron and Hermione (mainly Hermione) didn’t believe it.
It was clear here, by just this example, that Harry has far more open mindedness than his friends and intelligence in general.
As he was the one to figure out that Voldy used the R.O.R to hide the Diadem.
Cunning.
Cunning means having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit or evasion.
This can be shown when Harry and Ron (in the CoS) were going to Moaning Myrtles bathroom when Harry made the quick excuse saying that they were visiting Hermione in the hospital wing.
“Having or showing skill in achieving one’s end by deceit or evasion”
And he was supposed to be in Slytherin!
Independence is clearly not an issue when it comes to Harry.
He was alone for ten years and he didn’t turn out half bad!
He spent ten years alone and in CoS and GoF he spent them years almost completely alone. He clearly doesn’t mind being alone (as seen through the series as a whole).
“The cat is a fascinating animal that cultures around the world have long revered.”
“The boy who lived is a fascinating person that cultures around the world have long revered.”
I CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP IT JUST FITS SO PERFECTLY!!!!
“They are agile and nimble, able to move with silence and stealth”
in the CoS he tells Fred and George when they’re picking the lock to his cupboard to get his wizard stuff that the bottom step creaks. It seems he understands how to to be silent in the Dursleys house at all times.
In Ps he says something like he wished he nicked one of Dudley’s watches so he knew when the Dursleys were asleep so he could sneak into the kitchen.
He clearly knows this house inside and out to know what time, the exact time, the Dursleys go to bed.
Nimble is an easy one too. As seen in reason cunning fits him.
Nimble means along the lines of quick thinking.
As seen beautifully presented to us when Snape wants to see Harry’s potions book after what happened in the bathroom with malfoy (when he almost killed him).
Harry quickly asks ron if he could Borrow his potions book.
“Rooni Wizlab?”
“That’s my nickname.”
And goes on to explain what a nickname is.
“choosing to live on their own terms.”
I don’t think I even need to say anything about this because that’s just the definition of Harry James Potter there.
In conclusion:
Harry’s Patronus is a stag because he loves his dad and his animagus is a Black Cat okay goodbye
