Released in 1997, Harry Potter is a beloved series that has remained immensely popular even over a decade after the main series' conclusion. The books and films detail the story of an 11-year-old boy who discovers that he's a wizard who defeated the most powerful evil wizard the world had ever seen when he was only a baby. It shows the adventures of Harry and his two best friends as they navigate the world of wizarding school.

Fun Facts

Did you know that Patronuses that take the shape of magical creatures are very rare? Most casters of the spell end up with dog, cat and horse Patronuses. One of the most notable exceptions to this is Albus Dumbledore himself, whose Patronus takes the shape of a phoenix. Another historical wizard, Andros the Invincible, was the only wizard in history capable of casting a giant as his Patronus.

Patronuses are also able to change their shape when the caster has gone through a major change in life. One example of this is Nymphadora Tonks, whose Patronus changed from a jackrabbit to a wolf when she married Remus Lupin. Another example is Harry's mother, Lily, whose Patronus changed to a doe after marrying Harry's father, a stag Animagus.
