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

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). Ordinary Transfiguration of a human into an animal’s shape results in the human having an animal’s brain ( QA1 ) (although Draco Malfoy‘s experience in GF13 is worth considering since he was apparently able to retain enough of his faculties to try to reach the dungeons while in ferret form, and also Viktor Krum‘s half transformation in GF26). Those who master the advanced Transfiguration of turning into an animal while retaining their mental capacities – referred to as Animagi – are rare; the number of Animagi in the wizarding population is thought to be around one in a thousand ( PmP). 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!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. For example: if Viktor Krum can transfigure his head into a shark’s, like he does in Goblet of Fire, that doesn’t mean he is an Animagus.

Native American Animagi seem to have been closely linked to the legend of the skin walkers. The myth told of evil witches or wizards that could transform into animals, and gained their powers through the sacrifice of a family member. This damaging rumour was often perpetuated by fearful No-Maj medicine men. You do not adopt the life span of the animal you become 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. While the incantation was necessary for the process, it was not all that was needed to become an Animagus, with the full process requiring proficient skills in transfiguration and potions, and also a remarkable amount of patience. [1] The transformation has a long and challenging process. It takes you over thirty days to perform the magic and possibly get results. The Animagi Quiz puts you through the same practice to see how strong-willed you are. Analyze your physical features.

Step 3: Add a silver teaspoon of dew from a place that neither sunlight nor human feet have touched…

Although some fans theorised that Mrs Norris was an Animagus, J. K. Rowling has stated that Mrs Norris is just an ordinary cat. This fan theory was reflected in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened with student Cyfrin Hughes wondering if Mrs Norris was an Animagus. Animagus is a combination of the word "animal" and the Latin word magus, meaning "magician"; thus, the term meant "animal wizard". An Animagus who chose to remain in animal form for a long amount of time was not subjected to the usual lifespan and ageing rate of the animal they were. Peter Pettigrew lived as a rat for at least twelve years, despite rodents normally only living a few years at most. [11]

A: No, you can't choose. You become the animal that suits you best. Imagine the humiliation when you finally transform after years of study and find that you most closely resemble a warthog.During the 1994-1995 Triwizard Tournament, when Harry Potter was searching for methods of breathing underwater in preparation for the second task, he wished that he could become an Animagus so he could transform into a fish and survive in the Great Lake for an hour, [16] not realising that his form was predetermined. The type of animal the Animagus becomes is not a matter of choice, but of personality ( AOL, Sch2, WBD, MagSp, PmP).

It is important to understand that, in J.K. Rowling’s world, witches and wizards do not get to choose the form their Animagus takes. Their animal counterpart is determined based on their personality and inner traits. It is very fitting that Professor McGonagall is a clever feline, and Rita Skeeter a pesky beetle. Similarly, the Patronus form of a witch or wizard can also be determined by one’s characteristics, which is why for McGonagall, the two are the same: a cat. The Animagus transformation is one of a very few forms of magic that can be performed in a controlled manner without a Wand. Sirius and Wormtail have displayed the ability to transform into their Animagus shapes without wands. 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! Generally, wizards prefer to have their clothes Transfigure with them, to escape the embarrassment of reappearing naked’.

In North America Animagi were sometimes known as ‘skin walkers’

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 [ ] Similar to Ron, Neville was underestimated throughout his Hogwarts years. Another animal frequently underestimated is the hedgehog, which I feel would make an appropriate Animagus form for Neville. The Grimm brothers told a popular tale of the “Hare and the Hedgehog,” which depicts a race between the two animals. The hare is proud of his swift legs, but the hedgehog outsmarts him by teaming up with his wife who waits at the finish line. The hare is perplexed by his loss, and he runs the race over and over until he dies from exhaustion. The story is meant to illustrate the dangers of pride. The hedgehog is often depicted as an incredibly wise animal in different legends, and in the Balkan Slavic folklore, the wise hedgehog is the only creature that can find a magical plant, raskovnik. Aside from his aptitude for Herbology fitting perfectly with the wise hedgehog’s ability to find raskovnik, the race between the proud and the patient is also a match with young Mr. Longbottom. Neville is never the first to show up for a fight and is rarely considered a threat, but he is vastly underestimated. Neville’s patience and wisdom pay off in the end when he perseveres through his seventh year at Hogwarts, then into battle, and finally to behead Nagini. Neville would be shy and terrified to learn such advanced Transfiguration to become an Animagus, but he would find confidence in his hedgehog form. Ron was always so bewildered that his pet Scabbers managed to live for so long; 12 years is a very, very old rat. That is, unless you’re actually Peter Pettigrew masquerading as a rat, which in this case was true. This means you could theoretically be an animal for decades, far longer than the animal is supposed to live. Minerva McGonagall was taught by Albus Dumbledore how to become one 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).
