Hi Jenny,

I also love the Pullman Dark Materials trilogy.  I have read them 
all and promise not to post any Amber Spyglass spoilers (BTW - 
you'll really love it!!!)

I think Harry's daemon would be a stag - just like his patronus.  I 
think that Hermione's daemon would be a very clever, beautiful 
lioness.  Ron's would be a red fox.

It would be interesting to see what Hermione and Ron's patronuses 
would look like.  I think they are a reflection of the person's 
daemon.

I chose the lioness for Hermione because I think they are very 
clever like her and that they take charge of the pride, just like 
she does.

I chose the red fox for Ron because they are a little scared at 
first, but are still very curious and brave when they need to be, 
jusst like Ron.  I think the red hair helped a bit with that one 
too - so cute!

Elia - whose daemon would probably be a mongoose
