During the 1994-1995 Triwizard Tournament, when Harry Potter was searching for methods of breathing underwater in preparation for the second task, he wished that he could become an Animagus so he could transform into a fish and survive in the Great Lake for an hour, [16] not realising that his form was predetermined. A: I'd like to be an otter - that's my favourite animal. It would be depressing if I turned out to be a slug or something. Rita Skeeter was able to turn into a blue beetle. She used her unregistered form as a way to generate information and gossip to help her journalism career. Talbott Winger: Eagle Although some fans theorised that Mrs Norris was an Animagus, J. K. Rowling has stated that Mrs Norris is just an ordinary cat. This fan theory was reflected in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened with student Cyfrin Hughes wondering if Mrs Norris was an Animagus. Logically, it would be possible for the Animagus transformation to be both a Self-Charm and a Self-Transfiguration because if either the Self-Transfiguration or the Self-Charm statements were wrong, you would have been left with two conflicting statements, one that affirms the status of this and one that specifically denies the affirmation.

Currently, no other Animagus Test does that for you! So, it is a one-of-a-kind experience. Things to Know Before Taking the Animagus Test A cool feature of our test is that it lets you know what other witches or wizards have the same Animagus type as you. Our team did thorough research to gather all the famous (and even unknown) names to include in the results. Receive an additional personality breakdown. J. K. Rowling once joked that Godric Gryffindor was actually the Giant Squid in the Hogwarts lake, however this is not considered canon. [ citation needed] The next thing that had to happen was for the wizard to wait for an electrical storm, whenever that might be. During this waiting period the wizard would have to, at sunrise and sundown everyday without fail, chant the incantation Amato Animo Animato Animagus with the tip of their wand placed over the heart. [4] [5] When, at last, there was a lightning storm, the wizard had to move immediately to a large and secure place, recite the incantation one final time, and then drink the Animagus potion. [6]It should perhaps be mentioned that Professor McGonagall has never done anything unlawful while in her Animagus state. Her sole reason for becoming Animagus was as part of her studies of Transfiguration. The process of becoming an Animagus was very difficult. The initial stages of training required the witch or wizard to keep the leaf of a Mandrake for an entire month in their mouth. This process had to happen between two consecutive full moon days. Then, they had to make sure that this mandrake leaf was used to concoct a potion, all while they chanted the incantation “Amato Animo Animato Animagus” every day, both at sunrise and sunset. If the leaf was swallowed by mistake or removed, they had to start the whole process from scratch. They had to spit the leaf into a phial such that the moon’s pure rays fell on it from a non-cloudy sky. Amato Animo Animato Animagus is the only known incantation with four words. It therefore is also the longest incantation revealed. Because to process was so difficult and dangerous, and because many witches and wizards simply felt that their time might be better spent in other ways, not many people chose to try becoming an Animagus. Besides that, the skill was of limited practical use anyway, unless one had a great need of disguise or concealment. [8] Teaching [ ] Professor McGonagall learned how to become an Animagus while she was still at Hogwarts! It was actually Professor Dumbledore (then a Transfiguration teacher) who taught her how to do this. When she completed all the steps, her Animagus form turned out to be a silver tabby cat, with what appeared to be square spectacle markings around the eyes. McGonagall had these distinctive markings because when you transform, all your clothes and accessories (like glasses) are transformed too – becoming part of your creature’s features.

Animagi are extremely rare. It is revealed that Professor McGonagall is one of the only seven registered Animagi of the century. 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 An Animagus normally retains his or her clothing, spectacles, and so on throughout the transformation, disappearing when the Animagus is in animal shape but reappearing when human shape is resumed. Sirius, for example, when Transfiguring into human shape for a meeting with Harry, Ron, and Hermione outside Hogsmeade, retained his wizard’s robes ( GF27). The clothes become part of the Transfiguration process, absorbed into the skin. The Animagus can also choose to leave their clothes behind, and the longer they have been an Animagus the easier it is for them to choose the nature of their transformation ( PmP). AppearanceA wizard's Animagus form may reflect their corporeal Patronus; Minerva McGonagall was one such case, both being a known cat Animagus [12] and having a cat Patronus. [13] [14] Apparently, the form one's Patronus took may have been determined by the same inner-traits as the Animagus form, as shown with Minerva McGonagall. 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 ).

I have been enamored with the concept of animal shape shifting ever since reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, when the cat hanging around Privet Drive was revealed to be Minerva McGonagall. When more Animagi such as the Marauders were revealed, I became even more excited. I wondered, what if Harry, Ron, and Hermione decided to put their abilities and patience to the test and become Animagi? What would their Animagus forms be? The test is a set of wizardry-related questions that reveals what animal your Animagus form could be. It is a reliable way to discover your secondary figure as it considers all the affecting factors, such as your appearance, skills, and characteristics. While the incantation was necessary for the process, it was not all that was needed to become an Animagus, with the full process requiring proficient skills in transfiguration and potions, and also a remarkable amount of patience.

Professor McGonagall is what is known as an Animagus. This is a witch or wizard who can transform into an animal whenever they want. The process for becoming one is long and tough, with lots of complicated steps. You need to be skilled at Potions, as well as Transfiguration, to have a chance of being successful. Some of the steps include carrying a single Mandrake leaf in your mouth for a month – and if you swallow or remove it you have to start again! 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…
