Can an Animagus Be ANYTHING? + How to Become an Animagus - Harry Potter Explained

Hey guys! Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video we’re going to be discussing everything related to Animagi and Metamorphmagi.

An Animagus, simply put, is a witch or wizard that is able to transform themselves into an animal and back again. Animagus is a combination of the word "animal" and the Greek word magus, meaning "animal wizard." It is an extremely rare and difficult ability to master, so much so that it requires you to register your knowledge of this ability with the ministry. An animagus will typically have an animal form that they transform in to that is closely linked to their personality and inner traits. Becoming an animagus is a learned skill, unlike the metamorphmagus. Metamorphmagi are born with their amazing ability to change their physical form at will, but differ from the animagi in that they are able to change their physical form in more specific ways. They possess the power to change their entire physical appearance, but also the ability to hone in on specific parts of their appearance- changing only those things

So, how do you BECOME an Animagus? And, can your Animagus form be any animal or creature?
