Chapter 186

Dear Mr. Anderson, I was very surprised to receive your letter. It is indeed rare for someone of your age to be able to summon a corporeal Patronus, and I am proud of you. Regarding your concerns about becoming an Animagus mentioned in your letter, I believe they are unnecessary for the time being. Although the animal form an Animagus takes always seems to match the Patronus they can cast, that does not mean the two are invariably identical. To my knowledge, there are currently no known Animagus whose transformed animal changes when their Patronus changes. Of course, this is likely related to the extreme scarcity of Animagus who possess both the ability to transform and to cast a Patronus.
