Product Information

So, Professor McGonagall is a witch with a very rare ability. It is believed that fewer than one in a thousand witches and wizards have this ability! If it goes wrong, the consequences can be dreadful (including half-animal, half-human mutations) and there is no known cure for such mistakes. Which makes Minerva McGonagall’s ability all the more impressive in our eyes! It is worth noting that James Potter saved Severus Snape from Remus Lupin without transforming himself, because Snape told to Dumbledore about Lupin being a werewolf, but never mentioned Potter being an Animagus, as can be deduced by the fact that Dumbledore, as stated above, didn't know it. 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 [ ] The students at Uagadou are known for being particularly adept at self-transformation and the school has an Animagus team, which put on a display of synchronised transforming at an International Symposium of Animagi ( WSch, Pm).

The leaf is removed at full moon and placed in a crystal phial that receives the pure moon rays (if it is cloudy, again the process must be restarted), together with one of the wizard’s hairs, a silver teaspoonful of dew collected from a place untouched by sunlight and human feet for seven days, and the chrysalis of a death’s-head hawk moth. In the wizarding world, there are creatures known as Animagi (plural). They are witches and wizards who possess the magical skill and prowess that allows them to turn into animals at will. Will you be a cat, like Professor McGonagall, or something eerier like the Grim, as Sirius was once called? The only way to find out is to take this quiz.The Improper Use of Magic Office maintains an Animagus Register of all known Animagi (PmP). The register is a matter of public record; Hermione Granger at age thirteen could consult it for the information therein, including the names of registered persons ( PA19). The register keeps a record of each known Animagus ( GF26), noting the kind of animal that Animagus transforms into and their distinguishing markings. 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. A character’s Animagus form can reveal more about them than meets the eye. For example, Peter Pettigrew took the form of a rat. Rats are comfortable in groups, but they are also considered dirty and sneaky and inspired the phrase “to rat someone out,” which he eventually did. At the time he and the rest of the Marauders became Animagi, no one thought much of it. Now, however, it is easy to see how appropriate his form is to his inner characteristics.

The incantation had to be recited at sunrise and sundown, every day before the consumption of the Animagus potion. The incantation was also recited just prior to the consumption of the potion, which had to take place just after a lightning storm started. The incantation was recited while placing the wand's tip over one's heart. [1] Your big question is, “What is my Animagus?” And the test right here answers that. But that is not all we do for the Harry Potter lovers. The results also include detailed personality analysis, explaining why you would turn into a particular animal. An Animagus could only transform into one particular species of animal, furthermore they could not choose what kind of animal they gained the ability to transform into. Rather, one became the animal which suited them best. [10] Given an Animagus form is determined by the wizard's personality, it's unknown if the culture the wizard lives in has any influence. Some animals are attributed with different traits in various cultures. For example, Mongolian culture has historically revered wolves, attributing them as the ultimate hunters who can only die by human hand if the wolf consents to death as wolves are considered to be inherently superior to mankind. In other cultures, wolves are vilified and treated as cowardly, blood thirsty, and loathsome beasts.

Professor McGonagall is a very gifted witch, and a dab hand at Transfiguration (which is useful seeing as that is the subject she teaches at Hogwarts). In fact, she can transfigure herself into a cat! However, not many witches and wizards have this skill, as learning it takes a long time and requires a lot of talent and dedication. At the Uagadou School of Magic in Africa, students can become Animagi at the age of only 14 years old. It was also revealed that students from the school were able to turn into elephants and cheetahs. Animagus is a combination of the word "animal" and the Latin word magus, meaning "magician"; thus, the term meant "animal wizard". 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. If the big question of ‘What is my Animagus’ remains unanswered, make sure to give the test a try. Our editorial team worked hard on this one, turning it into a fun and informative questionary.
