Expecto Patronum!
As all Harry Potter fans learned in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” the Patronus Charm is not only a difficult spell, it is also the only known defense against Dementors. Not only that, but the majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses. Thus, doing so, as J.K. Rowling says herself, “is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability.”
Do you know what your favorite character’s Patronus is? Harry Potter’s Patronus is a stag, Hermione’s Patronus is an otter and Ron’s Patronus is a Jack Russell Terrier. If you’ve always wanted to know what yours is, you can now take a test on the Pottermore website.
According to Today, inspirational woman J.K. Rowling has teased her fans about this magical event for two years. Now, those taking the quiz, as Today writes, “will be prompted to think of their happiest memory before answering a series of questions written by Rowling herself.” This time-sensitive quiz reveals multiple-choice options that play across a 3-D animated environment. You are instructed to choose your instincts as you are guided through darkness that suggests danger is nearby.
Are you ready to take the entertainment quiz? Visit the Pottermore website now. And before conjuring this spell, remember, as Remus Lupin tells Harry, “The Patronus is a kind of positive force, a projection of the very things that the Dementor feeds upon – hope, happiness, the desire to survive.”
