Template:A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration - Lapifors

Now, girls and boys, you should remember "Crepidae cuniculorum", yes?

Excellent, detailed answer - five House points. So, if you were all listening - including those of you who think the back of the room is in a different time zone and the lesson hasn't started for you - you'll realise we're missing our "raw material" so to speak, to whit, bunnies. Now we see one of the constant values and joys of Transfiguration, its methodical capacity to break a problem down into steps, and resolve them individually. We don't have rabbits, but we do have, each of us, a small lump of wood.

Now, although it entails the kind of arm sweeping and wand waving certain of my colleagues have decried, there is a fairly simple spell which will transmute this block into the rabbit from which, in turn, we can make our slippers, or at least one slipper each, at present. The incantation is simply "Lapifors!", so let's all say it together. Good!

Now, again you'll need some space between you and your benchmates to practise this one - it's a vertical arm twirl with the wand pointing skyward and descending to aim at the block as the incantation ends. Give it a go!

Well, that was an extremely high note for this class, and thus a good one on which to end the term. Don't forget to pack your textbooks for the holidays, as I will be expecting a three foot essay from each of you on the fundamentals of Transfiguration which you have discovered this term, and that's due in our first lesson next term.
