    Most experts say that it doesn’t work unless you pronounce the R as a brisker raish, and the yeshivish choilem. Essentially, “Patroinem” rhymes with the name “groinum”.

    Your name is “groinum”?

    In any event, I guess this explains why I’ve never been able to create more than wisps, and even that only when drunk. It’s because I use a baalabatish cholam.

    It’s pronounced differently according to your natural accent and language.

    Rebyid, I have heard from reliable sources that that is not the case. In any event, you should try it out in advance. A dementor attack is not the right time to discover a yekkish “Expectou Patrounawm” doesn’t work.

    It varies only slightly based on the sounds one can pronounce. Chinese wizards, for example, pronounce it

    Niskatnu Hadoros. What the Noda BeYehudah felt was so poshut that even schoolchildren know, is totally unknown to many Jews today.

    I hear them daven by the Amud sometimes and cringe.

    If the dementors black cloak has buttons on the back, say Expectay Patraynem.

    You only use Expectow Patrownem for a short jacketed punctual dementor.

    We can probably come up with a whole list of things about which it was said that it is so pashut that even the tinokos shel beis rabban know it, yet are apparently not pashut to people nowadays. I think I’ll start a new thread about this.

    Expecto patronum sounds like something you would take for upset stomach and indigestion

    Dementors give you a lot worse than upset stomach and indigestion.

    Well it only matters if you are not a death eater. with the sole exception being a death eater turned member of the order of the phoenix and was killed by nagini.

    If a dementer was gliding toward you, the spell would just pop into your head.

    Dementors affect everybody equally with the exception of animals. Except if a person experienced more bad things, the dementors affect him worse.

    #1066782

    rebyidd23- dementors affect everyone equally EXCEPT animals EXCEPT someone who experienced more bad things… sounding realllll equal!

    They don’t care about race, color, national origin, gender, disability, religion, or affiliation with the Death Eaters.
