3There are hints of other methods: the ghosts Harry meets towards the end of Deathly Hallows, chocolate, or Sirius taking Animagus form, but I can't think of anything explicit. (Or anything Snape would have known about.)– alexwlchanCommented Feb 20, 2015 at 10:13

1Interesting point about taking Animagus form that I forgot about. (The ghosts seem to be rather a coincidental, once-in-a-life occurrence, and one that doesn't seem to be in the control of the wizard, moreover, its also mentioned as serving as an 'effective Patronus'.) As for chocolate, which is an effective cure for dementor-effects, can we say that eating chocolate wards off dementors?– N UnnikrishnanCommented Feb 20, 2015 at 10:18

2may be if you face dementors while eating chocolate it reduces their effect– user13267Commented Feb 20, 2015 at 12:50

8You should use an open-arm tackle instead of a shoulder tackle. Dementors can just roll right over a shoulder tackle, but you have a chance of catching them if your grip is tight enough.– ZibbobzCommented Feb 20, 2015 at 15:39

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
