Transfiguration (School of Magic)
Transfiguration is a branch of magic that focuses on the alteration of the form or appearance of an object, via the manipulation of the object’s molecular structure. Transfiguration is regarded as “very hard work” and is “more scientific” than any other form of magic, i.e. the practicing witch or wizard has to get it exactly right for the transfiguration to be successful.
AnimagiThe most legendary practitioner of transfiguration is an Animagus, a witch or wizard who can self-transfigure into an animal at will. It takes skill, practice, and patience for wizards and witches to become Animagi. The process is long and arduous, and has the potential to backfire and cause the transformation to go horribly wrong. As a result, there are very few Animagi, and the power they possess requires registration with the British Government of Magic.
AlchemistsA far less known application of transfiguration is Alchemy, the branch of magic and an ancient science concerned with the study of the structure, composition, and magical properties of the four basic elements (earth, air, fire, and water), as well as the transmutation of substances. Intimately connected with potion-making, chemistry and transfiguration, there are many who hold it to be the most difficult magic.
