ECSNorway Wrote:It's that the Patronus is human at all, and not an animal. The regular Patroni (Patronuses?) are animals, and are nonsentient, so don't have the same type of fear of death that humans do, and are therefore immune to dementors, which is why the Patronus spell creates an animal. The regular version is like sticking your head in the sand and hiding from the idea death in a happy memory, while Harry's is like facing it head on and saying "We will eventually defeat you."sweno Wrote:moved into the correct thread:Still waiting to see what's so weird about the Patronus that it mustn't be revealed. What does it appear as, Albert Einstein? A giant "E=MC^2"? We know Draco's is normal...
