The Patronus test is cool but frustratingly enigmatic, offering a wide range of animals based on a series of questions you answer by “instinct.” Fans have reported receiving everything from Bassett Hounds to mythical creatures like an Abraxan Winged Horse. But Evanna Lynch’s Patronus was not one of the cool ones.

Remember, there’s no such thing as a “bad” Patronus! Supposedly.
