Morrigan was a famous Irish pure-blood witch, notable for being an Animagus who could turn into a crow.[2]
Morrigan was an ancestor of William Sayre, who nicknamed his daughter, Isolt, "Morrigan" due to her affinity for all things natural when she was young.[2]
Magical skills and abilities
- Animagus: Morrigan was revealed to have mastered the art of Self-Transfiguration, being able to turn herself into a crow at will.
- Transfiguration: Morrigan was so skilled in Self-Transfiguration, that she became an Animagus, showing her to have been exceptionally talented in this very complex, scientific and even dangerous branch of magic.
Behind the scenes
- According to Irish mythology, the Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan (moe-ree-gan) ("great queen") was a figure associated with fate, especially with foretelling doom and death in battle — in this capacity, she would take the shape of a crow, flying above the battlefield.[3]
