Otherwise I would have extended the quotes to include Harry’s Happy Thoughts and other preparations. I actually like the invoking of canon and the canon-compatible wand movement. What bothers me is the part where the corporeal Patronus apparently jumps out of the point where the streak of light hits the ground, when it is expected to come from the tip of the wand.

I only glanced on the HP wiki and cannot tell how reliable it is (the place I usually go to look things up is The Harry Potter Lexicon). But apparently they didn’t do a deep analysis. Remus Lupin may depend on pre-werewolf memories because he doesn’t get happiness in his current life. Harry doesn’t use memories so often, and he tells Hermione/others that what she/they need(s) is a “Happy Thought”. When I’m at home I may post more quotes just to show off.
