[edit] Lethifolds

Lethifolds share are similiar to dementors: they are a black cloak like creature that is repelled by the Patronus Charm. Could there be some kind of link between the two? I didn't want to put it in here because it seems like speculation, but what do you think? --kaiiiak 21:16, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think so. They seem similar -perhaps a Dementor is a lethifold thay has consumed to many humans (hence the skeleton on a Dementor). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Snoops619 (talk • contribs).

I think the difference is that:

• What you have mentioned about the skeleton on a dementor.
• Plus the fact that it isn't mentioned about how the atmosphere is changed when you are around a lethifold.

Mainly I agree that they are very similar. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.216.136.168 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Squibs

I don't remember it ever being revealed the Figg was lying in the trial? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.178.196.172 (talk • contribs).

It wasn't in the trial, Someone was discussing it to someone in one of the books about her lying. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.216.136.168 (talk • contribs).

[edit] A dementor's kiss

A dementor's kiss is worse than death.You will stay alive,but you won't be able do anything because a dementor has eaten your soul.It is something you never want to happen to you.It is dreadful and terrible.It's worse than getting your hands cut off.If you have seen this happen,be careful because a dementor might have seen you and want to suck your soul. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.69.137.39 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Class

Does anybody know what class the Ministry of Magic gave dementors? I think it is class XXXX. - Tyminator1 (Talk) 00:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

It's never stated. The only reference to MOM classifications is in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the Dementor isn't included. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 07:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me that it would probably be XXXXX (Dementor's kiss=worse than death).24.144.151.36 22:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Dementors wouldn't be included in the classification if they are not considered beasts...

Why do they where those annoying cloaks, I don't really think they are born with them do you? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.216.136.168 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Class

If a sphinx is counted as a beast then why isn't a dementor. If it did have a class I would give it maybe XXXX or maybe even XXXXX. I may not give it 5 as there is a charm against and many others in XXXXX class don't have a charm for wizards and witches to use. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.216.136.168 (talk • contribs).

The classes are from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (real) as far as I know so...unless its classified in there we don't put up a classification here. There has be a source for it, we don't just make it up cause we feel like it. -- DarkJedi613 ^(Talk) 14:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FA

The intro really needs to be rewritten before the time comes for it to be up on the main page.--Matoro183 ^(Talk) 20:44, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I've rewritten it to be longer and more detailed, though it might still need a little cleaning up. Oread 10:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] what happens to the soul

--Grindelw4ld 14:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC) When a person is subjected to the kiss, what happens to them in the afterlife? Can they 'move on' etc without a soul, or are they destroyed utterly forever? surely, if somebody's soul is gone, they shouldn't be able to go to any aferlife? i haven't been able to find any answers to this, but if anyone can, i would appreciate it if they added it to the article thanks

It's never been stated in the books or by Rowling, so I'm afraid we don't know. - Cavalier One^{(Wizarding Wireless Network)} 15:05, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

We don't no for sure, but Rowling said that Voldemort wasn't able to pass into the afterlife because his sould was so damaged, so I'd imagine It would be he same if you had no soul at all. Jayce Carver ^Talk 15:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What do they do with the souls?

What do dementors do with the souls they suck out of people? Do they eat them, like food? Prissymis 20:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Appearances

In which version of game 2 are they mentioned?--Rodolphus 16:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I found an FAQ that mentions them in the PS2 version: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/561368/20858 Nick O'Demus 21:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Voldemort

How would he last in a close encounter with a Dementor? Personally, I think he wouldn't have much trouble since he is just about as evil as they are, and he is devoid of feelings such as love and sadness. Still, he might feel a little on edge because he might feel the presence of his "filthy" Muggle lineage, but thats just a thought. Does anyone think that either one of them is worse than the other? Who would you rather be within 3 feet of, Voldemort, or a Dementor? --Mateo22 18:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Other ways against Dementors

There may be another way of repelling a Dementor besides the Patronus Charm, as Harry Potter disagreed with Professor Snape on the best method for confronting one when it was the subject of a report in Sixth Year.[2] This implies that there are other methods, which seems further likely given that most Dark Wizards are apparently unable (or unwilling) to produce a Patronus Charm.

It'd be interesting to get know - which methods specifically (except Patronus Charm) can expel the Dementors? In the fifth book Harry tells to his uncle that "it's the only thing that has effect on them". Or give please a link/number of chapter with this report in the sixth book because I don't remember anything like this. Thanks in advance. --Microcell 15:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The other methods, whatever they are, are never specified. Of course, it could just be Snape being disagreeable again. In the Scholastic edition of HBP, it's in ch.21, p.448. - Nick O'Demus 16:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
