Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.

By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Black bears are the nerds of the ursine world.

Oh, that makes them even MORE appropriate for me!

What *should* my patronus be, if not a black bear?

I picked bear, and I still got wolf.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A buckeye.

It's already a mascot that cracks me up by doing absolutely nothing. As a Patronus it could sit there useless in a whole new capacity!

Dementor show up

Teppy fires off Patronus

Dementors confounded:

What is it?

It's a buck eye

What's a buck eye?

Its sort of a nut.

So, you eat it?

No, you can't eat it

Feed it to livestock or something?

I don't think so. I think its poisonous.... there's these candies though, chocolate and peanutbutter, they're REALLY GOOD.

You left out:

Patronus falls to the ground with a resounding THUD.

Yes! Teppy is thudding Dementors with her Patronus.

And when you send it ahead as a messenger? Everyone yells "DUCK" when it shows up. Then it talks. Which it really enjoys since its the first time a buck-eye has ever done anything at all ever.

These, of course, are the best of all buckeyes: [link]

And Graeter's now has a flavor called Buckeye Blitz: [link]

Back on topic, I don't think my patronus could be a buckeye, because patronuses (patroni?) have to be animal, not vegetable. Though I like the image of a buckeye patronus hurtling through the air to whack a dementor in the back of the head.
