Description

Want to know what your patronus says about you? Find out with The Ultimate Wizarding World Guide to Patronuses.

As every Harry Potter fan knows, the patronus is an advanced form of magic that even more skilled wizards can struggle to manifest. Harry Potter became one of the youngest wizards to cast a patronus, having done so at the age of 13.

This book breaks down in detail all 143 of the official patronuses detailed in the Harry Potter series and on wizardingworld.com. Readers will learn about each patronus' history, power, size and meaning, as well as what each patronus form has symbolized throughout myth and legend and—most intriguingly—what it suggests about the caster (or the reader)!

The book is enhanced with more than 40 beautiful, ghost-like images illustrated by John Stanko, artist of The Wizarding World's Great Book of Beasts and the bestselling The Game Master's Book of Non-Player Characters.

It's the perfect book for those hungry to learn more about these magical, enchanting creatures, and maybe even discover how to manifest one of their own.

About the Author

Kat Miller is a curious Ravenclaw but also a self-professed ambitious Slytherin who has a thirst for knowledge and a deep desire to always be right (both because she has all the facts and because, well, she needs to be). As co-creator and owner of Alohomora! podcast, MuggleNet's Creative Director, and Protego Foundation board member, Kat fulfilled a 15-year dream of making a career out of her work in the Harry Potter fandom. In her off-hours, Kat enjoys her small-town Massachusetts life by biking, hiking, and snuggling her two kitties, Tibby and Narcissa. Marica Laing is a Hufflepuff, creative media manager for MuggleNet and producer/host of SpeakBeasty: A Fantastic Beasts Podcast. Her cat, Luna, contributed to this book with more than one keyboard nap.
