Lesson 2 Anumagi
In Transfiguration when a human turn into an anmial the human will not only have the anmial's shape it will also have the animal's brain and he or she will not be able to remember what they were supposed to do. For someone keeping there human menta capacites whisle still taking the animal's form is a very advanced form of Transfiguration, and can go very bad. Witches and Wizards who can master that transfigurtion are rare and are called Animagi. An Animagus is a witch or wizard who has the abilty to transform herself or himself into an animal at will rentaining his or her's mental powers. An Animagus can perform that power without his or her wand. It is possible for someone to turn an Animagus animal form back to his or her's human form. However if you were to used it on a ture animal the spell will have no effect.The physical contition of the Animagus as an animal reflects the Animagus physical condition in human form. Like Peter Pettigrew, he is missing a finger and his Animagus form is missing a toe on one of his front paws. It is true that an Animagus can communicate with true animals, even though it is not known wheher an Animagus must be in it's animal form to do it. The Animagus must be resgister with The Improper Use of Magic Office. The register has a record of all the known Animagus is two things; 1. the kind of animal that Animagus transform into and 2. distubguishing markings. Penalties for Animagus whom are not or will not register with the Office. Wizards and Witches that are Animagus and their form Sirius Black turns into a dog, with very large black fur. Professor Minerva McGonagall who turns into a tabby cat with spectacle marking around her eyes, matching her own spectacles. Peter Pettigrew, his Animagus form is a rat who is missing a toe on the right front paw. James Potter turned into a stag. Rita Skeeter's animal form is a beetle with spectacle marking around her antennae, matching her own spectacles.
