But in the movie , the dementor was, like, sucking his soul as in the lake scene. I mean attacking and affecting is showed in the same way although in the script there is no specification? Leth - I don't think that in the train it was trying to "kiss" him, just examining him quite closely since he's a contradiction being that he contains part of another soul. I am not quite understand what you've said but it doesn't matter whether it is kissing or sucking.

The thing that matter is that the concept of attacking and affecting is show in the SAME way. Leth - The Dementors seem to investigate people by standing near them and drawing out their souls a bit.

The Dementor then started to focus on him which Professor Lupin attributes to his being easier prey because of all the terrible things he had gone through. Harry fainted and fell out of his seat, prompting Lupin to step forward and tell the Dementor that Sirius Black was obviously not in their compartment, and that it must leave.

The Dementor refused to comply, apparently eager to keep feeding on Harry Potter; realising it would get nowhere by bargaining with it, Lupin cast a non-corporeal Patronus Charm to drive the Dementor away, and the Dementor withdrew. It soon joined the rest of its fellows and left the train. Throughout the rest of the year, the Dementor was presumably at Hogwarts as intended, supposedly guarding it from Sirius Black. It is unknown if it was present when many of the Dementors attacked Harry Potter on the Quidditch pitch.

During the Second Wizarding War , the Dementor probably joined its kin in switching allegiance back to Lord Voldemort and deserted its duties at Azkaban to fight alongside him. Harry Potter Wiki Explore. Rowling Story. Explore Wikis Community Central.
