When Minerva McGonagall, an Animagus herself, was the teacher, it also included a practical demonstration. Teaching Īt Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the theory of Animagus transfiguration was taught about in third year. Besides that, the skill was of limited practical use anyway, unless one had a great need of disguise or concealment. However, if any part of this process was done incorrectly, it had the potential to backfire and cause the transformation to go horribly wrong (such as causing permanent half-human, half-animal mutations).īecause to process was so difficult and dangerous, and because many witches and wizards simply felt that their time might be better spent in other ways, not many people chose to try becoming an Animagus. Once the process was completed, the witch or wizard would be an Animagus and for the rest of their life would have the ability to change between their human and animal forms at will, with or without the use of a wand. When, at last, there was a lightning storm, the wizard had to move immediately to a large and secure place, recite the incantation one final time, and then drink the Animagus potion. During this waiting period the wizard would have to, at sunrise and sundown everyday without fail, chant the incantation Amato Animo Animato Animagus with the tip of their wand placed over the heart. The next thing that had to happen was for the wizard to wait for an electrical storm, whenever that might be. The resulting mixture then had to be put in a quiet, dark place, and could not be disturbed in any way. To the moon-struck phial, the wizard or witch must add one of their own hairs, a silver teaspoon of dew that had not seen sunlight or been touched by human feet for seven days, and the chrysalis of a Death's-head Hawk Moth.

If the leaf was removed or swallowed, the witch or wizard would have to start over again.Īt the next visible full moon (if the night happened to be cloudy, one would have to start over) the wizard had to spit the leaf into a phial within range of the moon's pure rays.
The first step for becoming an Animagus was that the witch or wizard in question had to keep a single Mandrake leaf in their mouth for an entire month (from full moon to full moon).
Sirius Black as "Padfoot", one of the few known (modern) unregistered Animagi The process of becoming an Animagus was long and difficult and it had to be done in a very specific way, it required skill, practice, and patience. She may not be Lord Voldemort, but she is as heartless…and that makes her just as horrible as him.Any witch or wizard who wished to become an Animagus had to undergo a ritual-like process in order to achieve the ability.
#Rita skeeter beetle skin
Her words are as pointy as a knife and pierce through the skin of all she degrades through her reporting. She is villainous though she does not physically harm others. She aims to harm others through her publications and doesn’t care if she upsets others, as long as she gets a hot story and a positive reaction from her readers. Her lies are foul, and her intent is cruel. So, while Skeeter may not use the Cruciatious Curse on her enemies, she is still able to elicit great pain and suffering in her victims. Skeeter thrives off of making up rumors and lies about others and publishing them for the world to see. Hermione would lie to “see if she can’t break the habit of writing horrible lies about people.” (37.107) Even though she promises to behave, it isn’t in her nature to stay quiet. In exchange for staying quiet about being an unregistered Animagus, Skeeter has to promise not to publish any lies about anybody for an entire year. Hermione has had enough yet is willing to make a deal with Skeeter. That’s how she found out the intimate details of Hermione’s relationship with Viktor Krum and how she uncovered the details of Harry’s scar causing him pain during Divination class. Skeeter transforms into a beetle and because she is small, and easily ignored, she is able to spy on other people’s conversations and publish horrible things about them.
