Magpie - A relative of the crow, the magpie is considered to be one of the most intelligent animals in the world. Also like the crow, they have a bad reputation, but in fact, the magpie is seriously misunderstood. The magpie is very home-oriented. It will usually never venture farther than a six-mile radius of its birthplace. They are very curious creatures and will often fly off with something that they find interesting (any relation to the Niffler?). Magpies are able to sense approaching danger very quickly, making them the perfect Patronus!

Manx Cat - The Manx is a quirky cat, bred to be a hunter. They are known to be excellent mousers and can even be dog-like, resulting in the perfect “watch-cat"! They will defend their territory and their humans fiercely, taking their cues from their chosen human. Dementors will not be able to come near you with a Manx as your guardian!

Mastiff Dog - English Mastiffs are regarded as one of the most gentle dog breeds, despite their large statures. Mastiffs are a combination of confidence, loyalty, and intelligence and are considered good family dogs.

Mink - Minks are very territorial animals. Patronus minks do not take kindly to attacks on their casters. Resourceful animals that thrive near freshwater, they will go to any ends to protect the witch or wizard who cast them. Keen-eyed and quick-witted, Dementors don’t stand a chance against these ferocious fellows!

Mole - Moles are small, velvety-furred mammals that live underground. They spend their lives digging and foraging underground and are very solitary animals. They prefer loose soil and often wreak havoc under gardens where the dirt has been loosened by vegetation. If this is your Patronus, you’ll have a mischievous but effective helper at your side!

Mongrel Dog - Just like a wizard doesn’t have to be a pure-blood to be great, a dog doesn’t have to a purebred to be your best friend. While a mongrel’s ancestry might be a mystery, they tend to be intelligent, energetic, and good-natured. Your mongrel dog Patronus will be loyal and friendly toward you but fierce against any Dementor that seeks to harm you. Their scrappy nature makes them a perfect partner in any situation.

Mountain Hare - Though small, a mountain hare is far from useless. A hare Patronus is fast and could easily dart around and between Dementors, distracting them from their target long enough to gain the upper hand. They’re known to live in polar climates and mountain ranges, so someone with a mountain hare Patronus wouldn’t be a stranger to adversity.
