All about this Patronus form:
  • Considered one of the rarest Patronus forms
  • 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 form?
Personality Traits:
  • Gentle
  • Protective
  • Misunderstood
  • Intelligent
  • Loyal

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.
