So the Patronum is between Harry and each and every one of the death eaters? That seems dubious, unless he's wearing it like a suit.

Also, they been instructed to use different attacks, so unless the Patronus blocks everything I don't think it'd stop everything that would come his way.

Wearing the Patronus isn't any more dubious than casting it inside of Hermione to revive her. You're right about stunners instead of AKs of course, but that can be blocked by a thin invisible tranfigured shield (air into glass, since apparently he can transfigure arbitrary atomic structures). Transfiguration is wordless and he has a wand. I mean, this isn't anywhere near as deus-ex-machina as half of the Azkaban escape anyway.

Read a comment above; he cannot transfigure air.

That was prior to PT.

You're right, I should have read more comments myself.

Read a comment above; he can cast the Patronus in the shape of a sphere.
