Is this the Cat?

Lucy thinks Umbridge shouldn't even have a cat, but we agree the ocicat might not be the best fit here. While we feel the cat’s personality fits McGonnagall better than Umbridge, does the timeline make it impossible?

Patronus Feud

Since we learned the Orca is a dolphin, we have two dolphins on the list and no whales. Why no whales? Also, a shark feels like a better pick then some of the other swimmy options. Liz then provides the Vaquita porpoise as an option to save their existence.

• Not a breed of cat, just a specific coloring
• While only two colors, there are tons of patterns
• Sidney loses her sh*t
• We get science with AMY
• These cats are everywhere in pop culture
• Carolyn loses her sh*t over duology in symbolism
• WHAT KIND JOANN?!?!
• How can we assign this to anyone with so little information
• Sidney continues to lose her sh*t

Personality Traits:
For this Patronus, there is such a wide variety of breeds these cats fall into it is impossible to pick personality traits based on coloring only.

The Patronus Game
Sidney decided this needed to be discussed further. Why is this added when there are so many better options?

Is This the Cat?
McGonnagall, maybe. Umbridge, heck no.

We’d love to hear from you!

The Patronus is Right!

Fred and George Weasley have magpie Patronuses, but Lucy doesn’t like that. She thinks their Patronuses should be foxes. Amy and Carolyn think the magpie fits the twins well.

Whose Patronus is it Anyway?

SURPRISE SEGMENT! We know canonically the magpie is the twins’ Patronus, but are there other characters who we think might be a better fit? Cho, Lockhart, and Molly Weasley are pitched. Carolyn’s idea actually makes sense for once, but Lucy pulls one from left field.

• Europe got bored with them, so they sent them to America.

What are the connections between animagi and Patronuses?

Both are considered very advanced magic.

Patronus forms represent the “hidden self”

Becoming an animagus seems a little too involved for Liz.

Do electrical storms happen a lot in Scotland?

Teenagers have no problem taking on tedious tasks if they are of their own choosing.

According to harrypotter.com, animagi sometimes find that their Patronus matches their animal form, but not always.

We manage to bring up My Little Pony.

Horse-shaped reprise.

Can a werewolf still become an animagus?

Some magical creatures are Patronus forms, but can an animagi become a magical creature?

• Considered one of the rarest Patronus forms
• SIDNEY’S PATRONUS!
• Name comes from the Old English word “thestre,” meaning “dark” or “gloomy”
• Sleek, black coats that are so thin their bones are easily seen underneath.
• Thestrals are actually relatively peaceful creatures
• Can only be seen by those who have witnessed death and accepted its significance
• Can fly immense distances at very fast speeds and have a great sense of direction.
• The core of the Elder Wand (aka “deathstick”) is a Thestral tail hair
• Does the caster have to be able to see Thestrals to have this Patronus form?

Personality Traits:

• Gentle
• Protective
• Misunderstood
• Intelligent
• Loyal

Whose Patronus is it Anyway? 

We question whether a Thestral would make more sense for Luna Lovegood, rather than the hare she’s given in the series.
