Professor McGonagall: "Professor Moody! What... what are you doing?!"
Bartemius Crouch Jr (disguised as Alastor Moody): "Teaching!"
Professor McGonagall: "Is that a... is that a student?"
Bartemius Crouch Jr (disguised as Alastor Moody): "Technically it's a ferret."

Human to ferret is a Transforming spell that transfigures a human into a ferret.

History

Malfoy ferret

Barty Crouch Jr (disguised as Mad-Eye Moody) used this spell on Draco Malfoy in the 1994-1995 school year when he tried to curse Harry Potter behind his back. Minerva McGonagall later performed the appropriate untransfiguration.

Behind the scenes

  • In September 1994, when Draco Malfoy was transfigured into a ferret, he tried to get to the dungeons. Complete transfiguration into an animal makes a human think like the animal, except Animagus transfigurations. This suggests that the attempted escape had nothing to do with him wanting to get to his common room and was coincidental.
