Types of Patronuses


Dolphin- The most popular Patronus is a dolphin and good thing too because they are very friendly and sociable. They live in groups called pods and communicate by squeals all around. They are a very playful and happy group.
Tonkinese cat- There are no fewer than six types of a cat in the top twenty, but the one that came in second to the dolphin was the Tonkinese cat. It’s no real surprise that cats were amongst the most common Patronus types; according to J.K. Rowling, ‘it is usual for a Patronus to take the form of an animal commonly found in the caster’s native country’. A Tonkinese cat Patronus might indicate that you’re a curious and loving person. This breed delights in playing games and is very affectionate.
St. Bernard- The sixth most popular Patronus is a type of dog. Like cats, there are quite a few friendly canines in the top twenty, but St Bernard comes out top dog. A gentle giant, the St. Bernard reminds us a little of Rubeus Hagrid in nature. Apart from its size, this breed has become well known for performing search and rescue, saving lives in the mountains. You’re likely to have bravery with a St. Bernard as your Patronus, as well as a big heart – even if you don’t wear it on your sleeve.

Hedgehog- This prickly customer just makes it into the top ten. Hedgehogs hibernate in cold climates, so if your Patronus takes this form it might be that you’d rather curl up under a blanket than taking on the winter chill. Personality-wise, these critters may look cute but they’ve got a hard edge when it comes to defending themselves. Perhaps you have hidden depths to your personality if this is your Patronus. One thing’s for sure though, we wouldn’t mind having this spiky Patronus on our side against a Dementor.
Unicorn- A magical form of Patronus is very uncommon, and the unicorn is one of the rarest on our list. According to Newt Scamander, the unicorn ‘is a pure white, horned horse when fully grown’. They generally avoid human contact, so a unicorn Patronus might indicate shyness in a personality as well as an air of mystery. Although it doesn’t follow that a magical Patronus is more powerful than any other, it may reflect an ‘unusual personality’.
Snowy owl- Given their prominence in the wizarding world, you might think that having an owl Patronus is pretty commonplace. However, they’re unusual and this is backed up by our statistics – the Snowy owl is 115th most common. In fact, the highest any owl comes on the list is 105th with the Scops owl. If you’re lucky enough to have a Snowy owl as your Patronus, you may well reflect its protective and fearless personality – it fiercely defends its nest, even against wolves. No doubt Hedwig would have been a Gryffindor!

Stag- 118th on our list is the stag Patronus we associate so closely with Harry, as well as his father, James Potter. Interestingly, the doe sits next to the stag on the list, almost like they’re watching over each other – not unlike James and Lily, and later... Snape and Harry. Often regarded as a protector, a stag Patronus might indicate that you look out for others, as well as shine in leadership roles. Just like Harry, we’d feel safe with his proud guardian as our Patronus.
