Pottermore: Discover your Patronus

Think of your happiest memory, because Pottermore has released a very exciting announcement! Pottermore, the magical website of Harry Potter content, just released their latest feature. A quiz designed by J.K. Rowling to tell you what your Patronus is. In case you have forgotten, a Patronus is a spell conjured by a happy memory and the incantation “Expecto patronum!” The Patronus takes the form of a silvery animal that protects against the Dementors.

Today I decided to log back into the magical world of Pottermore to discover my Patronus. I was very excited to figure out my Patronus. There are many forms that your Patronus could take; it could be a familiar animal or in rarer cases, a magical creature. For example, Harry, his Patronus is a stag. Hermione’s Patronus is an Otter, and Ron’s is a Jack Russell Terrier. I went in taking the quiz kind of hoping I would get a particular animal that I like and can relate. Let's just say I was blown away at the result!

My Patronus is a Ginger Cat! When I received my result I was really surprised. I was hoping to get a cat which I did, but I was not expecting for them to give me a specific cat like a ginger cat. If you go back to my childhood my first pet was actually a ginger cat. The cat came into my life when I was a toddler. We named him waffles because his color reminded us real waffles. I loved my cat more than anything. I had many fond memories playing with him and I had him in my life for almost 15 years before he past away. This might sound cheesy but I almost felt like it was destiny or magic that I got  a ginger cat as my Patronus. 

So far my Pottermore profile looks like this:

Hogwarts house: Gryffindor

Wand: Laurel wood with a Unicorn hair core 14 ¼" and Quite Bendy flexibility

Ilvermorny House: Pukwudgie

Patronus: Ginger Cat
