Harry's First Attempt at the Patronus Charm

PAGES: 236-239

Harry arrives for his first lesson with Remus Lupin, where Lupin uses a boggart that will take the form of a dementor. Harry tries to cast the Patronus Charm but hears his mother's voice pleading with Lord Voldemort instead. Harry's attempt produces only a wisp of silver mist, and Lupin reassures him that it's an impressive start. Harry is determined to improve, especially with the looming Quidditch match.
