The Draconifors Spell (Draconifors) was a transfiguration spell used to transform objects into small dragons.[1]
History
This spell was taught in third-year Transfiguration class by Professor Minerva McGonagall, during the 1993–1994 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione Granger easily mastered how to cast this spell in class.[1]
There was also a spellbook which contained information on the casting of this spell.[2]
Effects
The Draconifors Spell transformed the target into a dragon. However, it was only a very small transfigured dragon, around the size of an infant, significantly limiting its potential for violence and breathing fire.[1]
