  • Wizet used a golden eagle Patronus to help restore Salazar Slytherin, who noticed Wizet’s progress in exploring the soul.

Their experiment suggested that Dementors initially avoided Wizet as a golden eagle, leading him to conclude that Sirius Black escaped and evaded pursuit by transforming into an Animagus.
