Can Wizards CHANGE Their Animagus Animal? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing whether or not witches and wizards who have become Animagi can change their animal form. An Animagus in the Harry Potter universe is a witch or wizard who has the ability to transform themselves into a specific animal at will. It’s a rather uncommon skill that requires a great deal of education, practice and commitment to achieve. It’s also important to note that the animal a person transforms into is not influenced by the individual's choice or preference, but rather, it reflects their personality and inner traits. For example, the brave and loyal Sirius Black was an Animagus who could transform into a large black dog, while the cunning and resourceful Rita Skeeter had the ability to turn into a beetle, an insect often associated with spying and eavesdropping. Minerva McGonagall, on the other hand, a character known for her wisdom and dignity, could transform into a cat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
