Chapter 4
Anecdotes:
This is one of the first acts of magic cited in the books.
J.K. Rowling shed some light on the Animagi. She has stated that she would like her Animagus form to be an otter, which is her favorite animal. She added that she had given her idea of Animagus as Patronus of Hermione Granger. But in fact, it is not possible to choose in advance what its Animagus form will be.
The Animagus form appears to be the same as the Patronus form based on material we know from the Harry Potter saga but we do not know if it is a generality.
The Animagi are present in the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game. When Albus Dumbledore arrives at 4, Privet Drive, he first thinks that the cat present is Minerva McGonagall in her Animagus form but it is in made of a normal cat. The other Animagi present are Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Rita Skeeter. Werewolf Remus Lupine can transform at will and can therefore be considered here as an Animagus as well. Another Animagus can be seen in the game at the first level "Let the Magic Begin": it is about a client of the Leaky Cauldron who turns into a black cat. The fact that she transforms for all to see suggests that she is one of the seven Animagi allowed.
Animagi capable of transforming into winged creatures (and therefore able to fly) are very rare.
