Discover Your Patronus

Expecto Patronum.

Discover Your Patronus

Pottermore has been keeping the wizard world alive and ongoing. To make the fantasy world a reality once again, Pottermore users can discover their own Patronus. Yes, really. You can't contain your excitement, I know. Me either.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me fill you Muggles in.

The Patronus Charm is a very difficult, but very famous defensive charm that has a very significant part in the Harry Potter books and films. The spell itself is very hard for witches and wizards to cast, so when someone produces it successfully he or she is considered very powerful. The Patronus Charm is important because it is the only defensive spell that can protect you from Dementors, who "feed on human happiness and extract souls with their Dementor's Kiss," according to Pottermore.

When the Patronus Charm is produced successfully, it takes the form of an animal. You may remember watching Harry teach Dumbledore's Army how to cast their own individual Patronus in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The animal form is a "silvery-white," opaque figure that serves as a protector or shield. Each individual produces a unique animal figure.

We no longer have to wonder what our Patronus would be if we lived in the magical world because J.K. Rowling loves us and has granted us the gift of discovery.

As of Thursday, September 22nd, the Muggle world is more magical than ever, or so it seems.

Similarly to discovering one's Hogwarts House, Ilvermorny House and wand, in order to discover one's Patronus, you need to answer a series of questions created by Rowling herself. However, this time, you'll be timed. I panicked myself, but try not to because the point is to choose honestly. Also, when facing a Dementor do you think you'd have time to ponder choices? No, exactly.

Discover your Patronus because you can only discover it once.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
