Part two –Animagus Transformations An Animagus retains his or hers cloths, spectacles and so on through out the transformation, disappearing when the Animagus is in an animal shape but reappearing when the Animagus resumes its human shape. Sirius, for example. When transfiguring into shape for a meeting in the cave in the side of the mountain, retained his wizard robes. Possibly the transfiguration process moves the clothing into wizard space while the Animagus is in animal shape. But simply don’t know the details of how this works. In some cases items such as spectacles may affect the animals appearance. For professor Magonagall and Rita Skeeter wear glasses in human shape, and these are not only transformed with the Animagus but in these two cases form part of the resulting animals markings. An Animagus appears to have some ability to communicate with true animals, although it is not known whether an Animagus must be in Animagus form to do so. For example, Sirius was able to understand fairly complex concepts from crookshanks during their alliance in HP3, such as the fact that Crookshanks had stolen a list of Gryffindor Tower’s passwords from a boy’s bedside table. Peter Pettigrew has an affinity with rats, and was able to learn Voldemort’s hiding place in Albania from their knowledge of a place in the forest that was deadly to small animals such as themselves. Whatever this form of communication is, it is not speech; Sirius did not know Crookshanks name until Harry, Ron, and Hermione told him, although he had been working with Crookshanks for months at that point. The Improper Use of Magic Office maintains a register of all known Animagi. In the books this has been referred to only as “the register”; it’s formal name is unknown. The register is a matter of public record; Hermione Granger at Thirteen could consult it for the information therein, including the names of registered persons. The register keeps a record of, for each known Animagus: <the kind of animal that Animagus transforms into <distinguishing markings There are penalties for being an Animagus and failing to register with the Improper Use of Magic office. It is not know precisely what the legal consequences are for an unregistered Animagus, but they are apparently rather severe, as the threat of exposure as an unregistered Animagus was enough to persuade Rita Skeeter to take a year off from her job as a scandal-mongering reporter. Information from HP Lexicon Questions 5 points each question 1. What happens to glasses or necklaces when an animagus transforms? 2. Give an example of an Animagus and an animal speaking with one another? 3. What office do you go to register? |
