"Oh, she got a letter just like that and disappeared off to that — that school — and came home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats."
Petunia Dursley regarding her sister Lily J. Potter's Hogwarts years[src]

Teacup to Rat (incantation unknown) was a transforming spell that turned teacups into rats.[1][2]

  • Given the number of transfiguration lessons the card that this spell debuts on in the TCG requires in order for one to learn it (and the context it is mentioned in the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) this does not appear to be very advanced magic (probably second or third year level).
