An animagus is any witch or wizard who can change into an animal. All animagus are required by wizarding law to register their names, animals, and markings with the Improper Use of Magic Office.

Known Animagi:

Sirius Black -Dog

James Potter -Stag

Remus Lupin -Were Wolf (sort of animagus)

Prof McGonagall -Tabby Cat

Peter Pettigrew - Rat

Rita Skeeter - Beetle

There are unregistered Animagi around, for example Rita Skeeter and Peter Pettigrew

How do they do it?

It is said to be very difficult to become an animagus, it requires real skill in the magical arts to perfect, and has been known to take many years for some to learn.

Thats so cool! where do you get the ideas to post all this cool stuff?

Weeeeeelllll, you see... these thoughts in my head are many. Too many for me to ever tell them all to you or anyone else. I just keep thinking of different things that I would be interested in reading, and I post it here!!!

There have been only 7 registerd animagi in this century. Mc Gonagall is one. I wonder if we will ever find out who the other 6 legal ones are.
