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!

Due to the complexity of the magic involved, the time it took, and the limited use (for those who were registered) of the ability, Animagi eventually became very rare. There was a total of seven known registered Animagi in the twentieth century, among who there was Hogwarts' Transfiguration Professor Minerva McGonagall. [1] According to Remus Lupin, it was also partially because of this complexity that Animagi were required to register themselves. [2] Unregistered Animagi [ ] 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. But here are a couple of things we would like you to know before the actual quiz. It differs from a Transfiguration Quiz. If you make it through the process, you will have the ability to become an animal whenever you choose. However, while you can decide to become an animal, you can’t decide which animal you will become.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. Here’s a witch or wizard’s step-by-step guide to Animagus transformation, but we’re warning you – it makes for some grizzly reading. Step 1: Do your homework…

In Latin, the female form of Magus is Maga. However, in canon, female Animagi are never referred to as "Animaga" or "Animagae", which would be the female plural. 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.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. If we could choose our Animagus, you can rest assured we’d all be lions, adorable puppies, or magnificent eagles. But realistically, an Animagus is closely linked to your personality. For example, the brave and rebellious James Potter is famously a stag, whereas the conniving journalist Rita Skeeter is a beetle. Your Animagus and Patronus animal can be the same 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! The first step for becoming an Animagus was that the witch or wizard in question had to keep a single Mandrake leaf in their mouth for an entire month (from full moon to full moon). If the leaf was removed or swallowed, the witch or wizard would have to start over again. Note that the Animagi Quiz differs from a Patronus Test. The latter reveals your guardian animal, whereas the former discovers what creature you would transform into if you had the ability. Take a Genuine Harry Potter Animagus Quiz
