==The Patronus Charm==

The Charm creates an [[avatar]] of the caster's most positive feelings, like happiness, hope and the desire to survive, known as the Patronus. In essence, a Patronus is the exact opposite of a Dementor. Even though it embodies all the good emotions a Dementor feeds on, a Patronus lacks despair by definition, which renders it immune and a weapon rather than a feast. It can shield its caster from Dementors and even drive them away.

According to the author, the extremely accomplished wizard [[Albus Dumbledore]] has devised a method  of using Patronuses to deliver messages. This offers great advantages in security, as patronuses uniquely identify the caster and are Dark-proof, and is in exclusive use of the [[Order of the Phoenix]].
