- "Settle down, class. Today we will Transfigure a goldfinch into a Golden Snitch. I understand that Quidditch is of particular interest to many of you, but contain your enthusiasm... We will begin today's class with a lecture."
- — Professor McGonagall introducing this spell to her fifth-year students[src]
Goldfinch to Golden Snitch (incantation unknown) was a spell used to turn goldfinches (mundane small birds) into Golden Snitches (magical Quidditch balls).[1]
History[]
During the 1985-1986 school year, Skye Parkin, Murphy McNully, Orion Amari and Jacob's sibling researched this spell while puzzling over Skye's missing Comet 220 broomstick that she had wanted to give to Jacob's sibling for the second match of the Inter-House Quidditch Cup. Their attempt at the spell went wrong as Skye transfigured the goldfinch into an actual Snitch-sized comet that rocketed about the Transfiguration Classroom 1B before Professor McGonagall reprimanded them and sent them to the Headmaster's office.[2]
During the 1988–1989 school year, Professor Minerva McGonagall taught her fifth-year Transfiguration students how to perform this spell, in preparation for their O.W.L.s that academic year, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
