courtesy of a friend...

if you've read the novels or even just seen the movies, you're aware that wizards in the world of harry potter all have a patronus, a physical representation of their magical essence which can be used defensively. well, someone's created a quiz to identify your patronus.

so what'd you get?

the quiz quoth:
your patronus is the phoenix. the phoenix is an amazing creature, representing change, rebirth, and healing. you have a tremendous ability to adapt to difficult situations, but you often build walls around yourself to protect you from your inconsistant environment. although you are a great and loyal friend, you can be difficult to approach at first. however, you are blessed with the ability to bring out the best in others.

how about you?

    Your patronus is the unicorn. The unicorn is a kind and selfless creature; it is also very rare. There aren't many people willing to show kindness to a stranger in today's world. Consider yourself lucky to be blessed with such a selfless spirit, but be sure to also address your own needs.
     
    I'm not so sure about this!

    Interesting!

    I'm a wolf. From the quiz:

    Your patronus is the wolf. Like the wolf, you value family and friends highly but still know how to go it alone. You are a fierce defender of the things you hold dear. The lucky few you pick to be your pack can always rely on you.

    I actually identify strongly with the wolf anyway, so that's not out in left field for me.

    Your patronus is the snake. The snake is a creature often feared and disliked by others, often only because it is so different. The same is probably true with you. Although you have a knack for making people run the other way, you are very intelligent and have tremendous insight into things others can't comprehend. You are secure in yourself. Other people don't know what they're missing.
    Great I think this means I'm supposed to be aligned with that obnoxious brat with the blond hair.

    Your patronus is the dragon.

    Your patronus is the dragon. This patronus appears in those who are inherently misunderstood by others, and thus feel alienated. Mabey it's just your nature or mabey it's the result of something that happened to you in the past; either way you are decidedly difficult to approach. When you do grow close to someone, however, you can't live without them.

    Interesting question, silverwhisper!

    Your patronus is the unicorn. The unicorn is a kind and selfless

    creature; it is also very rare. There aren't many people willing to

    show kindness to a stranger in today's world. Consider yourself

    lucky to be blessed with such a selfless spirit. But be sure to

    also addess your own needs.

    I read through all the comments and I pretty much thought to myself - "I can relate to phoenix..." and what do you know?! I took the test and here's my result :

    Your patronus is the phoenix. The phoenix is an amazing creature, representing change, rebirth, and healing. You have a tremendous ability to adapt to difficult situations, but you often build walls around yourself to protect you from your inconsistant environment. Although you are a great and loyal friend, you can be difficult to approach at first. However, you are blessed with the ability to bring out the best in others.

  • hombreescéptico said on Aug 29, 2007....

    Your patronus is the stag. You are a born leader, and usually approach this role from a fair and unbiased position. You can be a bit of a control freak, though. You know how you want things done and expect others to follow through on your orders. You have difficulty accepting assistance from others. Try giving yourself a break every once and a while.

  • hotaka said on Aug 29, 2007....

    Your patronus is the otter. You are playful, impulsive, and bring a humorous atmosphere to any situation. You are extremely likeable, and people often back up your ideas. Even though you spend more of your time laughing than thinking seriously, your instincts are very reliable.

    Quick, someone throw me a shellfish. I'm hungry!
