In the world of Harry Potter, also known as the Wizarding World, the Patronus Charm is excessively complex and difficult. The charm can be performed when a person focuses on their happiest memory while saying “Expecto Patronum!” The memory must be very strong and should be remembered clearly. When performed correctly, it can be used as a powerful shield against Dementors and Lethifolds, the two dark creatures no other spell can defeat.
Many powerful wizards failed to form a true Patronus, but Harry Potter was able to do so. His peers admired and respected him for producing a complex and difficult charm such as a Patronus at such a young age.
Patronuses come in two forms: Corporeal, and Incorporeal (Non-Corporeal)
The Corporeal Patronus is the stronger of the two, transforming into your spirit animal based on your personality. It requires a very powerful concentration on your happy memory. The Corporeal Patronus saves you from danger. You don’t have to direct a Corporeal Patronus, it acts upon its actions and repels any dementors or Lethifolds, protecting its master.
The Incorporeal Patronus is easier to perform and does not require as much concentration as it does to perform the Corporeal Patronus. It looks like a blob of wispy and colored air. A wizard can control their Incorporeal Charm, making it move at their will. However, the Incorporeal Patronus doesn’t provide very strong protection against Dementors and Lethifolds, unlike the Corporeal ones.
It takes a great amount of courage, patience, and determination to learn producing a Patronus, and only the most dedicated wizards in the history of the wizarding world have been able to do so.
