Transfiguration is a branch of magic that focuses on changing the form or appearance of an object or living being. It is a complex and advanced subject, often taught at wizarding schools like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Mastery of Transfiguration requires precision and concentration, as even the slightest mistake can lead to unintended consequences.
In the wizarding world, Transfiguration encompasses various types, including Human Transfiguration, which allows wizards to change their own or others' forms. This magical discipline is not only a test of skill but also a reflection of a wizard's understanding of the nature of magic itself.
