Patronus Quiz: What Is My Patronus?

20 screens and 40 original guardian portraits

Give courage and support an animal image you can carry with you. Explore 40 original guardian portraits through 16 scenario choices, one ranking and three multiple-selection questions. Your result explains the protective approach in this round; you can compare the others too. An independent fan entertainment creation, not an official test or a measure of magic, health or personality.

Portraits use independently drawn animal and mythical-creature imagery, without film stills, official characters or another website’s quiz artwork. They are this edition’s narrative metaphors, not zoological conclusions or a determination of your real identity.

How each screen contributes

One six-item ranking adds 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 points from least to most relied on. Each selected option in three multiple-selection screens adds one point; explicit none adds zero. Sixteen single-choice scenarios add 0–3 points each. Courage, Care, Observation and Patience each have three scenarios; Playfulness and Independence have two. The individual dimension maxima are 17, 17, 17, 17, 14 and 14.

Scale both this round’s counts and each fixed portrait coordinate by the corresponding dimension maximum, then sum the six squared differences: distance = Σ((round count − portrait coordinate) / dimension maximum)². Every equally smallest distance is retained, without list-order tiebreaks. Coordinates and mappings are original narrative design, not a research scale, resemblance probability, population percentile or magical ability.

Ranking: from least to most

Tap all six items in order: the first adds zero and the last adds five. Complete all six to continue. Tap again to remove and reorder, or clear the ranking. Begin with the least relied on, not the closest; going back preserves the order.

Multiple-selection screens allow explicit none

All three multiple-selection screens allow 0–6 items. With nothing checked, Continue with none explicitly records an empty selection and adds no points. A single-choice screen requires one response; incomplete rankings and scenarios are never silently filled with zeros.

Comparison preserves your own result

Your complete answer pattern determines this round’s match. Compare all 40 portraits, their own drawings and distances without changing it. Personal PNGs, copying and sharing always use the original match; editing or retaking recalculates it. Every nearest tie remains and all full explanations are free.

Each guide includes a fixed reachable example

Every portrait includes a reproducible fixed 20-screen demonstration. Its counts equal that portrait’s coordinates, giving distance zero. This demonstrates reachability in this edition, not real users, a typical distribution or an official algorithm. Other answer patterns may also reach the same portrait.

Answers, images and sharing

Item choices and six-dimension scoring are calculated in the current browser, without a saved answer draft; reload clears them. Personal cards include only the animal names, theme lines and public entry, without item answers, dimension values or distances. Public guides contain no personal result. Sharing is optional. With site analytics consent, existing analytics record only the public quiz identity and actions such as starting or completing, never the answer pattern.
