Product Information

Transfiguration is the spell of changing an object or human’s form. And any witch or wizard could perform it after some practice. However, Animagus is a rare skill that only a few people have mastered. 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).

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! It was also important to note that werewolves were fundamentally different from Animagi, despite the spell to force each species to take human form likely being the same. Lycanthropy was a condition caused by a blood infection transmitted through being bitten by another werewolf, whereas the Animagus transformation was a skill that could learned, and while a werewolf could only transform into a wolf-like beast, an Animagus could transform into one of any creature in the animal kingdom. Additionally, werewolves could not keep their minds while they were transformed (unless they took the Wolfsbane Potion), nor could they control themselves when they transformed, while Animagi could easily do both. Furthermore, an Animagus could transform between human and beast forms whenever they wanted, whereas werewolves would only and always transform during the full moon. The HP universe is massive. And it is challenging for some fans to find all the answers on their own. We already helped the Potterheads to find out their house or discover their Harry Potter wand type. And now we are about to reveal their animal form! (Yay). 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 [ ] 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.”The difference between the Animagus transformation ability and the Transfiguration of a person into an animal was that an Animagus could change into an animal whenever they want, without a wand or an incantation. Being an Animagus was an ability, and Transfiguring required a spell. Furthermore, a human who was Transfigured into an animal would take on the mental state of that animal, an Animagus in animal form on the other hand would still think as they normally did in their human form, seeing as Rita Skeeter was able to eavesdrop on others' conversations when she was in the form of a beetle. [17] However, an Animagus' feelings were not as complex when they were in their animal form; to beings with the ability to sense emotions, they might even mistake an Animagus in animal form as an individual with "waning sanity". A Dementor's influence on an Animagus in their animal form was weaker than if they were in human form. [18]

It can be assumed that when a wizard dies while in Animagus form, they return to their human form or go through some other changes. This is based on the reaction Bellatrix Lestrange had when she killed a fox near Spinner's End, thinking it might had been an Auror. Because the fox just died with nothing else happening, she claimed it was just a fox. [41] Amato is a conjugation of the Latin word amo, which means "I love" or "I am obliged to". Animo and animato are both different conjugations of the Latin word animo, which can mean "I animate" or "I fill with breath or life". Animagus on the other hand appears to be a portmanteau of animo or "animal", and magus, which is Latin for "wizard". Overall, the incantation can roughly mean "My love brings me life, I am obliged to become an animal wizard."

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
