Expecto Patronum (Patronus Charm)
Chapter 14
Pronunciation: ecks-PECK-toh pah-TROH-numb
Description: This charm is a defensive spell which will cast a spirit-like incarnation of their positive emotions to defend against dark creatures; it can also send messages to other witches and wizards. It seems that one's Patronus will take the form of something important to the caster, and can change when one has undergone a period of heightened emotion, for example when Nymphadora Tonks' Patronus, which was originally a jackrabbit, turned into a wolf after she married Remus Lupin, whose Patronus was also a wolf.
Seen/Mentioned: Taught to Harry by Professor Remus Lupin; Harry later taught Dumbledore's Army this charm. This is the only known spell effective against Dementors and Lethifolds.
Etymology: Patronus means "protector" in Latin; in archaic Latin, it means "father"; considering the form Harry's takes, this is interesting. The Latin word expecto means "I await".
