- "'But,' said the Prime Minister breathlessly, watching his teacup chew on the corner of his next speech..."
- — The Muggle Prime Minister is stunned by Fudge having turned his teacup into a gerbil.[src]
Teacup into Gerbil[2] (incantation unknown) was a transforming spell that turned teacups into gerbils.[1][2]
History
In the 1989–1990 school year, Professor Minerva McGonagall taught this spell to sixth year students in Transfiguration class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2]
Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge used this spell to prove himself to be a wizard to the "Prime Minister of Muggles". The Prime Minister was stunned. Despite the evidence of his eyes, he tried for a time to convince himself that Cornelius Fudge was a hallucination. The continued presence of the gerbil was less easily explainable, but he gave it to his niece, in an attempt to rid himself of all reminders of the encounter.[1]
