What was Sirius Black's Patronus?

While J.K. Rowling never explicitly stated it in the books, Sirius Black's Patronus was very likely a large black dog, mirroring his Animagus form ("Padfoot"), as Animagus forms often match one's Patronus, and his name, Sirius (the Dog Star), links him to dogs. He couldn't produce one consistently after Azkaban due to trauma, but his core identity points to a canine Patronus, similar to James's stag Patronus matching his own stag Animagus form.

Why were Harry's screams muted when Sirius died?

Apparently, it was so realistic because Daniel had found out about his Grandfather's death that morning and so was understandably full of grief. The muted effect makes you feel a bit numb, like Harry could not believe Sirius had died, so I thought it was a great effect."
