【demonology and eroticism: islands of women in the japanese buddhist imagination】

LONDON -- There's a reason you never catch Dementors in water,demonology and eroticism: islands of women in the japanese buddhist imagination and it's not because they don't like getting their cloaks wet.

OK, so it's probably worth mentioning at this point that fish can't really cast Patronuses (at least not that us muggles know about, anyway).

The little cardinal fish in the BBC Earthclip above -- which went viral after it was shared recently on Twitter -- is actually regurgitating a creature called an ostracod, which gives off that bright blue light when swallowed as a form of defence.

Then again, who knows? Maybe that's what they just want usto think.
