- "Today in Transfiguration, the pawn becomes the queen. While the practical application is ill advised, the technique will further your skill in this class. Please do not use to cheat in chess. Pay close attention to see the weakest piece become the strongest."

Behind the scenes[]
- This spell is seemingly a reference to promotion (alternatively known as "queening"), a rule in chess saying that a pawn is replaced with a queen, rook, knight or bishop when it reaches the eighth rank of the chessboard.[2]
