Smart! At 87th down the list, this little mouse is also a relatively rare Patronus. Wood mice mark their territory by placing objects in key places. Rowling tells us that вЂone of the most famous Patronuses of all time was a lowly mouse, which belonged to a legendary young wizard called Illyius, who used it to hold off an attack from an army of Dementors single-handedly.вЂ™ As well as bravery, having this mouse Patronus may also hint at your initiative and intelligence.

Just like Harry, weвЂ™d feel safe with his proud guardian as our Patronus. Often regarded as a protector, a stag Patronus might indicate that you look out for others, as well as shine in leadership roles. Interestingly the doe sits next to the stag on the list, almost like theyвЂ™re watching over each other вЂ“ not unlike James and Lily, and later. No doubt Hedwig would have been a Gryffindor!ДЎ18th on our list is the stag Patronus we associate so closely with Harry, as well as his father, James Potter. If youвЂ™re lucky enough to have a Snowy owl as your Patronus, you may well reflect its protective and fearless personality вЂ“ it fiercely defends its nest, even against wolves. In fact the highest any owl comes on list is 105th with the Scops owl. However, theyвЂ™re unusual and this is backed up by our statistics вЂ“ the Snowy owl is 115th most common. Given their prominence in the wizarding world, you might think that having an owl Patronus is pretty commonplace. They generally avoid human contact, so a unicorn Patronus might indicate shyness in a personality as well as an air of mystery.ДЄlthough it doesnвЂ™t follow that a magical Patronus is more powerful than any other, it may reflect an вЂunusual personalityвЂ™. According to Newt Scamander, the unicorn вЂis a pure white, horned horse when fully grownвЂ™. Still curious about whether your Patronus made it into the top 20? Scroll to the bottom to find out! A handful of raritiesДЄ magical form of Patronus is very uncommon, and the unicorn is one of the rarest on our list. One thingвЂ™s for sure though, we wouldnвЂ™t mind having this spiky Patronus on our side against a Dementor. Perhaps you have hidden depths to your personality if this is your Patronus. Personality-wise, these critters may look cute but theyвЂ™ve got a hard edge when it comes to defending themselves. Hedgehogs hibernate in cold climates, so if your Patronus takes this form it might be that youвЂ™d rather curl up under a blanket than take on the winter chill. This prickly customer just makes it into the top ten. YouвЂ™re likely to have bravery with a St Bernard as your Patronus, as well as a big heart вЂ“ even if you donвЂ™t wear it on your sleeve. Apart from its size, this breed has become well known for performing search and rescue, saving lives in the mountains. A gentle giant, the St Bernard reminds us a little of Rubeus Hagrid in nature. Like cats, there are quite a few friendly canines in the top twenty, but the St Bernard comes out top dog. The sixth most popular Patronus is a type of dog. If deep down youвЂ™re channelling the fox, youвЂ™ll likely have resilience in spades. Foxes are also highly adaptable and can live in many diverse habitats around the world. Foxes are cunning, resourceful and fiercely intelligent вЂ“ remind you of anything? ThatвЂ™s right вЂ“ we wouldnвЂ™t be surprised if some members of Slytherin house find themselves with a fox Patronus. This breed delights in playing games, unlike lazier cats, and is very generous with their affection.ДЇollowing the felines, the fox slinks into fifth place. A Tonkinese cat Patronus might indicate that youвЂ™re a curious and loving person. Rowling вЂit is usual for a Patronus to take the form of an animal commonly found in the casterвЂ™s native countryвЂ™. ItвЂ™s no real surprise that cats were amongst the most common Patronus types according to J.K. There are no fewer than six types of cat in the top twenty, but the one that came in second to the dolphin was the Tonkinese cat. If you have a dolphin as a Patronus, perhaps it matches your own extroverted personality? If that doesnвЂ™t sound like you, maybe deep down youвЂ™re more outgoing than you thoughtвЂ¦ ItвЂ™s a good thing that dolphins are the most common Patronus form, because theyвЂ™re friendly, sociable mammals! They live in pods, communicate in squeaks, whistles and clicks and are incredible playful creatures.
