4/2/2023 0 Comments Harry potter spells![]() ![]() During Harry’s first lesson, she turns her desk into an actual pig and back again – again, without any particular words. Unfortunately, we suspect Fred and George, who ‘taught’ Ron the spell, might’ve been joking.Īs she’s Transfiguration teacher, it’s fitting that McGonagall shows us how it’s really done. Ron is the first person we see attempting a verbal Transfiguration spell, when he tries to turn Scabbers' fur yellow. Again it’s non-verbal, although it is accompanied by some help from Hagrid's mysteriously magical umbrella. We saw some proper Transfiguration magic when Hagrid gave Dudley a pig’s tail. Being an Animagus – having the ability to turn yourself into an animal – involves a lot of hard work, so while it’s not a spell in the wand-waving sense, it’s a powerful piece of transformative magic. Professor McGonagall’s appearance as a cat is an act of Transfiguration, in a sense. We never hear an incantation for the act of Transfiguration – changing something into something else – but it’s one of the first pieces of magic we witness in Philosopher’s Stone. Sure, Harry knows some far more advanced magical methods these days, but who could forget these classics from first year? And let’s not forget how important these spells would be later on in his life.
