Patronuses, are most certainly coming. It may be a quiz, but this is truly Rowling's "last chance" to present it in a timely manner. While it initially seemed like she wasn't planning on a Patronus test, and as Prisoner of Azkaban went and passed, we got this lovely post from Rowling via Twitter:
Now, while I really, really don't want to take this at face value, it does mark a departure from what it appeared Rowling's initial stance on Patronuses was, which was something that would be rather difficult to quiz for, and near impossible. It appears that Rowling may have found some logic though, with this tweet, and considering our new moments including the teaching of Dumbledore's Army with patronuses, this appears to be the shot to include the patronus test, if there will be one. Hopefully, this will be something that we can have, and perhaps take multiple times to demonstrate our "changes" as regular patron uses can change, ours may as well.
So what are your thoughts? Do you see a future patronus in your crystal ball?
I think it would only work if the test could be retaken, otherwise it's not very true to the books. Maybe they could create multiple tests, e.g. overtime Harry, Ron or Hermione has to cast a patrons then we're able to take a test but each test can only be taken once?
ReplyDeleteProbably too much work and coding for PM but a girl can dream!
It might work if it is along the lines of aquiring a wand. It would take some work given the multitude of possibilities, but it would be awesome. . .
