Transfiguration

Overview
This class is required for all first, second, and third year students. Transfiguration deals with altering the structure of one object to turn it into another. Students will learn the four types in increasing difficulty: inanimate to inanimate, animate to inanimate, inanimate to animate, and animate to animate. Transfiguration experts may go on to teach, work for the Ministry of Magic, among other professions.
