| Mar 30, 2018 at 19:56 | comment | added | Pryftan | @Himarm On Pm Rowling had this to say: Most uncommon of all possible Patronuses are magical creatures such as dragons, Thestrals and phoenixes. Which directly contradicts that it's only animals. Because dragons aren't animals and yet she says clearly it's possible only very rare. | |
| Mar 30, 2018 at 19:54 | comment | added | Pryftan | @Himarm I was suggesting the fact that a Phoenix isn't really the same as an animal (in my mind) and so it can't be that it's only animals. I was pretty sure there were other instances where a Patronus doesn't take the form of an animal in which case it'd be wrong to say only animals too. I was only suggesting that a Phoenix isn't an animal but perhaps you view it as such. | |
| Mar 30, 2018 at 19:46 | comment | added | Himarm | @Pryftan im not sure what your asking here, a phoenix is undoubtedly an animal, and it has no bearing on my answer here. As far as the books are concerned Dementors are A, not animals, B. All patronuses are animals. | |
| Mar 30, 2018 at 19:39 | comment | added | Pryftan | Would you call a Phoenix an animal then? Or the documented case of a giant (or was it just giant in size?)? Clearly more than just animals can be a Patronus. And the Phoenix is even mentioned in the HP books. | |
