Dementors are the guards of Azkaban prison for the wizarding world. What are exactly the Dementors?
Are they like Inferi, dead bodies reanimated?
Answer
Dementors are non-beings,as mentioned above.The HP wiki says they might be related to Lethifolds.If you look up the translations to other languages,they're called demons:
Taiwan: å‚¬ç‹‚é” - cuÄ«kuángmó - "drive-mad devil/demon"
Indonesian: "iblis" - "demon of death and happiness remover"
They are neither humanoid nor animals,they seem to be demons,maybe a magical manifestation of fear,despair and hopelessness,the counterpart to the partronus. The reason why they're permanent?I don't really know,but i assume it's because of all the terror caused by Voldemort during the time he "reigned" the magic world (and ofc the fear of his return in the time the books/movies are playing).
