Just thought that it might be fun to share thoughs on what forms animagus, boggart and patronuses might take on for the following characters. Some of them have already been established, others have not.
Just copy 'n paste the names and add your comments. Feel free to add any characters to the list that you feel are of interest/importance. Remember to tell us how you formed your opinion.
Here is my list:
Harry
Boggart: Dementor (POA)
Patronus: Stag (POA)
Animagus: Lion (symbolises bravery, strength and pride)
Ron
Boggart: A huge spider (POA)
Patronus: A dog (in memory of Sirrius, who was quite freindly towards Ron) Or perhaps an eagle (can kill the spider)
Animagus: An elephant (This animal is huge, and would counter the way Ron normally feels around Harry, which is tiny)
Hermione
Boggart: Voldermort (In POA her boggart took the form of McGonagal, however I feel that after the events of OOTP she may have realized that there are bigger things in life than getting good marks)
Patronus: Otter (OOTP)
Animagus: Cat (she is obviously a cat lover. Also, In COS she was partially transfigured into a cat. I think that this would be a cool past reference. And finally, dogs have owners, cats have staff. Hermione's opinions are self-rightious and cocky, much like a cat.)
Draco Malfoy
Boggart: Sirrius Black. (Symbolises the cunning and bravery that Draco strives for, yet Sirrius is on the other side and far more powerful. Also he has the reputation of a murderer.)
Patronus: Snake (Draco used his wand to summon a snake in COS, and the Snake is the Slytherin mascot.)
Animagi: Ferret (Moody/Crouch turned him into one in GOF)
Dumbledore
Boggart: A corpse of Harry. (Once Harry is dead, Voldermort has won)
Patronus: Pheonix (He likes pheonixes, and they are not afraid of death, just like Dumbledore)
Animagi: Owl (Wisdom and sight)
Voldermort
Boggart: Grim Reaper (afraid of death)
Patronus: Dragon (reptilian and snakelike, also powerful and uncontrolled)
Animagi: Serpant (A serpant tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. Voldermort tempted Harry in PS/SS. Also has a pet serpent)
Lupin
Boggart: A full moon (POA)
Patronus: A dog (another tribute to Sirrius, and also a tame versoin of his wolf nature) Or perhaps a wolf (if Lupin wants to embrace his dark side, although I doubt it.)
Animagus: wolf (for obvious reasons)
Snape
Boggart: James Potter, or ghost of James Potter. (tormented him in school and Snape still owes James his life. Snape is horrible to Harry, so an image of James would freak him out)
Patronus: A cloud of bats (if he is a vampire) or perhaps a mandrake (embracing his scary side, also a nod to his skills with potions.)
Animagus: A donkey (stubborn, and also gives Harry yet another thing to ridicule snape about)
James Potter
Boggart: A nerdy version of himself, standing proudly for all to see. Or perhaps a corpse of Lilly.
Patronus: A bull (arrogant, strong, brave, and also quite close to a stag)
Animagi: Stag (POA)
Wormtail
Boggart: An aura, Sirrius, a dementor, a jelous Death Eater, angry Voldermort or a giant cat. (This guy is scared of just about anything, isn't he?.)
Patronus: A snail or turtle (Small, Can hide in its shell, just like Petigrew would like to.)
Animagus: Rat (POA)
Cho Chang
Boggart: Herself without makeup
Patronus: Swan (OOTP)
Animagus: Butterfly (Pretty to look at, but otherwise quite useless)
