Pottermore Harambe Patronus: JK Rowling Thinks It's Funny, But Confirms It's Not Real

The internet ruins everything.
The internet ruins everything. Twitter

Alas, the Harmabe jokes keep coming despite how unfunny they are at this point. Well, at least J.K. Rowling has a sense of humor.

Rowling recently took to Twitter to deny the existence of a Harambe patronus on the Pottermore site. Sorry, Gorilla isn’t an option for a Patronus.

The fact that people actually believed Rowling would put Harambe on her patronus list is pretty funny. Still, there’s a list of about 70 animals complied by mugglenet.com . Harry Potter cast alum Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the movies, tried out the site for herself. She wasn’t too happy with her patronus.

Hermione’s patronus is a badger, so don’t feel too bad, Lynch. Personally, I was happy with my patronus, which was a Dapple Grey Mare. It only takes a few minutes to find out what your patronus is on Pottermore here . Check out the list of known patronus below.
