PURPOSE
To protect against Dementors by summoning one's happiest memories
THE EFFECT IT HAS ON THE RECIPIENT
Shields against and can overpower the foul effects of Dementors
FAMOUS MOMENT A WIZARD OR WITCH USES IT
Harry Potter uses a Patronus to save a future version of himself from Dementors, while using the Time-Turner; Severus Snape uses his corporeal Patronus – a doe – to protect the Golden Trio from afar while they are searching for the Deathly Hallows
My patronus is a dun stallion. Shot on Nikon D80, edited in Photoshop CS6 and VSCOcam.
