[HPforGrownups] Question about Patronus (Patroni?)

[Sherry Gomes]

No: HPFGUIDX 135402

Please help me here.  I always thought a person's patronus reflected their
personality.  If I'm thinking 
correctly, how could Tonks' patronus change?  If I remember my psychology
correctly, a person may 
change in many ways but their base personality stays the same, maybe
buried/suppressed but still 
the same.  I'm thinking Tonks just may not be "our" Tonks.



Sherry responds:

Actually, it's your animagus form that reflects your personality, not your
patronus.  A lot of speculation has happened about whether or not a wizard's
animagus form and patronus would be the same, but there's no definitive
answer on that.  The patronus is a protective charm, so for instance,
Harry's represents his father.
