I got wolf on both. Of course, on the first one, there was an option to choose what you wanted, and I chose wolf, so...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Two bits from the Salon interview with the screenwriter of OotP, Michael Goldenberg.
Harry is being pulled between the poles of isolation and community. To me, that is one of the more effective things about the film -- that you do feel his struggle, and that in the end it is because of his connection with Ron and Hermione and something bigger than himself -- that's what gives him the advantage over Voldemort.
This is, of course, one of the central themes of BtVS. It is what Joss returns to again and again to distinguish Buffy from her predecessor (and predeceasing) slayers.
Also, the St. Mungo's scene is the one that he really hated to lose. And Snape's worst memory was much longer and more fully developed originally.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My patronus is a bear!
I got a bear!
Undo it! Undo it!

I got Stag and Eagle. I was thinking cat or squirrel or something.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I got Wolf on both, even though I chose Badger on the one. And I still think it would be a badger. It'd be bloody useless against dementors because it'd be all grumpy and snarly and it wouldn't fight dementors at all but it would go get me cigarettes and Michelob.
Then I, like the valiant billytea, would take down the dementors in a drunken brawl and smoke some cigarettes.

I think I'd like a Bat patronus.

I got a stag on the first one even though I chose wolf.
I'm pretty sure my patronus would be some kind of monkey. A clumsy monkey. Do they make those?

You know what's awesome? Seeing the large number of adults hauling book 7 with them on the bus all week.

The EW this week is a special Harry Potter edition. So, aside from the bit about paperdol's book in it, it's well worth picking up. It's a total Harry Potter Universe Love Letter.
The end page essay perfectly articulated why I loved the epilogue.

Totally. Although this morning there was one woman on the bus who wouldn't move over to give me a seat, and she was about 70 pages from the end of DH, and I just wanted to whisper spoilers in her ear for spite.
