Product Information

One other important thing is that all Animagi need to be registered in the Ministry of Magic’s Animagus Registry. All personal details, including what form you take, and any distinctive markings need to be noted. Failure to join the Registry may result in being sent to the wizarding prison Azkaban! When witches and wizards are in their animal form, they still retain most of their ability to think like a human, their memories and their human life expectancy. Yet, their emotions are simplified, and they will have many animal instincts – including eating whatever their animal body desires, rather than needing human food. The four different words of the incantation share similar sounds, akin to a tongue-twister. This perhaps underscores the complexity and intricacy of the process of becoming an Animagus, which can be a fiendishly long and difficult process. The Animagus transformation is one of a very few forms of magic that can be performed in a controlled manner without a Wand. Sirius and Wormtail have displayed the ability to transform into their Animagus shapes without wands. Rita Skeeter, who is a reporter, became an Animagus perhaps so that she would be able to spy on people to get good stories for the papers she writes for, notably the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly. Note that the witch or wizard performing the spell does not have control over the specific type of animal he will become; the form that the wizard's animal form takes will depend on his personality at the time he performs the spell. The fact that Rita became a beetle, so very close to the proverbial "fly on the wall", could only be providential – she could not have selected for it.

The term Animagus is a fusion of the word “animal” in English and “Magus” in Latin, referring to “wizard.” Therefore, Animagus translates to “animal wizard.” Ordinary Transfiguration of a human into an animal’s shape results in the human having an animal’s brain ( QA1 ) (although Draco Malfoy‘s experience in GF13 is worth considering since he was apparently able to retain enough of his faculties to try to reach the dungeons while in ferret form, and also Viktor Krum‘s half transformation in GF26). Those who master the advanced Transfiguration of turning into an animal while retaining their mental capacities – referred to as Animagi – are rare; the number of Animagi in the wizarding population is thought to be around one in a thousand ( PmP).Pottermore Presents: Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies (Mentioned only)

for a full seven days. And if that wasn’t hard enough, you then have to add the chrysalis of a Death’s-head Hawk Moth to the crystal phial as well. Then put ‘this mixture in a quiet, dark place’ and leave it alone until the next electrical storm. And really leave it alone – don’t even look at it. Don’t even think about looking at it. Step 4: While waiting for the transfiguration to begin, you must place your wand tip over your heart… Morgan le Fay (aka Morgana) was mentioned as an Animagi in several of the video games (on a Famous Wizard Card). She was able to turn into a bird but it wasn’t specified which type. Ron Weasley mentions in the first book that he has about 6 of her Chocolate Frog Cards. Adrian Tutley: Gerbil If meeting your creature self does not interest you, please consider taking our Harry Potter character quiz. It is a trending questionary among the Potterheads right now. (It reveals which witch or wizard of the HP universe is similar to you personality-wise). Olivier Kikkert was mentioned as an Animagi in the Hogwarts Mystery game. He was able to turn into a frog and he ended up getting arrested after completing a robbery. Some Additional Facts Pottermore Presents: Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies - AnimagiThe transformation has a long and challenging process. It takes you over thirty days to perform the magic and possibly get results. The Animagi Quiz puts you through the same practice to see how strong-willed you are. Analyze your physical features. In some cases items such as spectacles may affect the animal’s appearance. For example, both Minerva McGonagall and Rita Skeeter wear spectacles in human shape, and these are not only transformed with the Animagus but in these two cases form part of the resulting animal’s markings ( PA6, GF37 ). Three words of the incantation, animo, animato and animagus also share the same root Latin word animo. This is a unique property as other known incantations do not consist of multiple words containing a similar etymological root. Also, the progression of the incantation from animo to animagus seems to mirror the smooth and transformative process of the witch or wizard transfiguring into their Animagus form. A teacher who taught the skill did not need to be an Animagus themselves, as shown when Professor Dumbledore, who was not an Animagus, taught Minerva McGonagall how to successfully become one.
