All about this Patronus form:

• Considered one of the most rare Patronus forms
• HOST SIDNEY’S PATRONUS!
• Name comes from the Old English word “thestre,” meaning “dark” or “gloomy”
• Sleek, black coats that are so thin their bones are easily seen underneath.
• Thestrals are actually relatively peaceful creatures
• Can only be seen by those who have witnessed death and accepted its significance
• Can fly immense distances at very fast speeds and have a great sense of direction.
• The core of the Elder Wand (aka “deathstick”) is a Thestral tail hair
• Does the caster have to be able to see Thestrals to have this Patronus?

Personality traits:

• Gentle
• Protective

Whose Patronus is it Anyway?

We question whether a Thestral would make more sense for Luna Lovegood, rather than the hare she’s given in the series.

We’d love to hear from you!
