Ask me for any character I write or have written (OCs included) and I will tell you, if they existed in the Harry Potter universe:

1. Sorting Hat: what house would they be sorted into?
2. Expecto Patronum: what form would their patronus take?
3. Riddikulus:: what form would their boggart (read: their deepest fear) take?
4. The Mirror of Erised: what would it show of their heart's desires when they looked in it?

Wow, that's a pretty impressive feat! :-) Let me know if you need anything explained!

Bob
1. I think Bob is relatively ambitious, in that he wanted to be the best and do things no one else can do, and he's certainly cunning and resourceful, so think I'll put him in Slytherin. But Ravenclaw would be a very close second.
2. Peacock, which in medival heraldry meant beauty, power, knowledge and resurrection, which are representative of Winnifred. Patronuses often take a form representing a lover.
3. Winnifred with an arrow through her heart, telling him he's failed.
4. Himself, free from his skull, having atoned for his crimes.

Harry
1. Gryffindor. Stupidly brave is pretty much his MO.
2. A sort of shaggy, unkempt St. Bernard.
3. Himself, if he ever became a dark wizard.
4. A really nice, comfy couch, with a good book and no trouble heading his way. He's a simple man.

I know!!! I have the first HP book sitting dejectedly on a bookshelf, but I'm honestly afraid of diving into such a big fandom at this point. In any case, I can mostly pretty much figure out what I'm looking at here through conjecture, so I think I'm okay.

And hee! Your answers are really cool. I'm just picturing a peacock!Bob screaming as he chases around St. Bernard!Harry, demanding Harry's stupid human-to-animal transformation spell be reversed immediately!! For Bob cannot live covered in feathers! HE'S ALLERGIC, FOR GOD'S SAKE. AND IT ITCHES!

And wow, the boggarts are striking. Well chosen, you. :)

They are really quite wonderful if you give them a chance, but I'm totally respectful of your choices. That fandom is scary, and aside from some RPing back in the day, I haven't ventured into it at all.

Patronuses are protection spells cast to scare away dementors, which are sort of like... I'm trying to think... Well, they make you think of the worst memory you've ever had and you relive it until you're paralyzed. They also suck out your soul through your mouth, in extreme cases.. So you cast a patronus, by thinking of your best memory and it takes the form an animal, and the animal chases away the dementors. I'm not sure if you knew that, but it's most obscure thing there.

I can so picture Harry getting himself into trouble by casting a transformation spell he can't undo. I kind of picture half of Harry's life is him sitting bewildered, wondering what the hell just happened.

Oh, I believe it! Oddly, that's part of the reason I'm so hesitant to read them. I'm worried about losing lots of time to them, when I already have fandoms that do the same thing. ^_^'

And ah, I figured I was aiming off the mark with my little scenario there. Wow, dementors sound terrifying, yikes. And oh my goodness, this is making me wonder if Harry as a child has some wonderful memory involving a little St. Bernard puppy. Maybe it was something Harry encountered when he and his dad were living on the road during simpler times, before everything went wrong. Arg, this is making me emotional. *sniffs*

I kind of picture half of Harry's life is him sitting bewildered, wondering what the hell just happened.

It is an apt comparison! I love Harry and his occasional bewilderment. ^_^

Aww! I like that scenario! Patronuses are supposed to take a form of an animal that represents you or is significant to you, so that works! Lots of times lovers have the same patronus in male and female form, to reflect the other person. So Winnifired probably had a peahen patronus. They can change over time to represent new experiences in your life.

Aw, I'm glad! I miss writing Dresden Files stories. It's a world I still love tremendously, so I enjoy opportunities to make up scenarios for the characters -- even crack!fic scenarios -- when I can. Playing with words for DF characters in comments is not something I get to do enough, sadly.

And wow, the idea of Winifred with a little peahen patronus is absolutely adorable, awwww! ^_^
