"Greetings, students. Today you will learn to transform a king into a rook. Which of course means you will transform a chess piece into a noble relative of crows and ravens. Today's lesson is no joke, but I will not mark you down for appreciating my wordplay. Watch closely as I demonstrate..."
Professor McGonagall teaching King to Rook to seventh-years[src]

A rook is a bird related to crows and ravens.[1]

History[]

During the 1990–1991 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Minerva McGonagall taught her seventh-year students in Transfiguration how to transform king chess pieces into rooks with the King to Rook spell.[1]
