Dementors. First introduced in POA. "Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them. Get too near a dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself...soul-less and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life."
quote by R. J. Lupin
Thread open to dementors. How difficult is it to produce a patronus in the presence of a dementor and how many wizards are able to do this? Is their strenght in numbers? How effective are they for Voldemort?
I would imagine it would be very difficult to produce a patronus when you are feeling so upset. I just want to know how many wizards can really do this.
We are going to find out in the next book what Dudley heard or saw when the dementors were near him. I am thinking it was an empty refrigerator.
The Dark Lord is not vulnerable to the powers of a dementor.The Dark Lord had a very traumatic childhood.He was at an orphanage and was daily abused by the other children.Anyone must see what a great man he is...even though the other children were phsicaly stronger than him he had the courage to stand up to them,and he never used his powers against them.The Dark Lord has many sad memories.We all must follow him.Let's do it for the Dark Lord,for the good wizarding comminity,for the good World.
Be unique! Be yourself, don't be what others expect of you.
Tommy-poo must have some very bad memories, but he is strong enought to produce a proper patronus. Harry was able to drive away 100 with his stag patronus. The big questions is are most average wizards able to do this?
And the answer is ......No!
A wizard producing a patronus is not as rare as an Animagus but is rare.Most wizards can't produce a physically patronus because they haven't really learned to do it right.In school they would most probably try to do it but won't have the time because they would need to learn spells that are most commonly used.
The patronus spell is used against Dementors and against the those creatures that suffocate you.A ordinary wizard would not be confronted with these kind of creatures.At least that's what I think.
Be unique! Be yourself, don't be what others expect of you.
Correct, Nion... Harry's ability to preform a TRUE, and full, patronus is a huge accomplishment.
Older wizards are astounded to learn that Harry has this capability...
