Focus on: Dementors
A Dementor is a soul-sucking fiend. They served as the guardians of the Azkaban until the events of the fifth book.
Dementors have a generally human shape, approximately three metres in height, but covered in dark, hooded cloaks which reveal only grey, decayed hands and faces. The creatures have no eyes, and a large hole where the mouth should be, which is used for sucking the soul out of the victim in a process called the “Dementor’s Kiss”. They are said grow like fungi in the darkest, dankest places, creating a dense, chilly fog.
Being blind, Dementors sense and feed on the positive emotions of human beings to survive, forcing them to relive their worst memories. The very presence of a Dementor makes the victim’s surrounding atmosphere grow cold and dark, with increasing effects as the number of Dementors rise. Those kept in the company of a Dementor for too long become depressed, and are often driven insane, which is the main source of Azkaban’s well-deserved horrible reputation. Their source of sustenance allows the Ministry of Magic to reluctantly employ them: Dementors are at least intelligent enough to be greedy, and to obey as long as doing so provides them with sustenance. In Goblet of Fire, a Dementor accompanies Cornelius Fudge as a bodyguard, and flashbacks depict Dementors as obeying simple instructions from wizard authorities (e.g. escorting prisoners into and out of the courtroom), but the precise extent to which wizards and Dementors can communicate with each other is unclear. Possibly Dementors react to raw emotion rather than to actual spoken words.
