- "Describe, with examples, the ways in which Transforming Spells must be adapted when performing Cross-Species Switches"
- —The fourth year transfiguration homework[src]
Transforming Spells are transfiguration spells of unknown incantation; they are used to perform transformation magic.
Nature and Teaching
Transforming spells seem to be related to changing guinea fowl into guinea pigs, as these spells were the subject of an essay written for homework after a class on that charm[1].
As Professor McGonagall taught her fourth year students in Transfiguration class, Transforming Spells can and must be adapted in some manner in order to perform Cross-Species Switches. This was the subject of an essay they had to write for that night's homework[1].

Behind the scenes
- It is currently unknown whether this refers to a specific set of Transformation spells, or if it refers to any spell that might transform something. If the latter is the case, such spells as the Avifors Spell and the Snufflifors Spell might be considered Transforming Spells.
