Transfiguration Books

Dear Professor McGonagall,

Transfguration is my absolute FAVORITE subject. It’s fascinating. It’s strange though-I’m able to do more things with this branch of magic than all my friends. Do you have any advice on what other things I can learn? Do you recommend any books?

Thanks a million!

Cat on the Fence

Dear Professor McGonagall,

I saw a cat sitting outside my muggle family home the other day, was that you?I was studying my spells, and labeling some new bottles for potions.

P.s. my dog got a hold of my acceptance letter while I was out at the store, she tore it up! Is there any way I can get a replacement? I was going to frame it…

Courageous Gryffindor

Dear Professor McGonagall,

I was wondering whether the Sorting Hat can ever be wrong. Like, if a true Gryffindor liked the sound of Hufflepuff, and asked the Sorting Hat to put them in Hufflepuff, and it did, would that particular student fail in certain subjects that Hufflepuff’s usually thrive in? Could this or has this ever happened?

To Hogwarts From India

Dear Professor McGonagall,

Is there any chance of a witch in India getting a place in Hogwarts?

Curious Claw

Dear Professor McGonagall,

Does house preference really matter so much that you could have been a Ravenclaw, but chose Gryffindor?

Excited Gryffindor

Dear Professor McGonagall,

I have a few questions for you,

How is a muggle selected to be a student at Hogwarts? Did you go to Hogwarts when you were younger? Now that you are headmistress who is head of Grifendor? In Harry’s fifth year you said you would help Harry become a Aour, did you really? Now I have some good comments about you, you have been my favorite Professor. I love how you give Harry discipline and you were one of his biggest supporter! I’m so excited that I can actually send a letter to you!

Future Animagus

Dear Professor McGonagall,

How long does it take to learn how to become an animagus? How will I know what animal I will be?

Quidditch Tryouts

Dear Professor McGonagall,

How old must a student be to try out for Quidditch? As Potter was the youngest player on our team in centuries, I understand there is less chance for younger hopefuls, but is there a minimum age required? What age would you recommend? Are there certain ages you would assign to different positions as Seekers have to be fast (and small) and beaters have to be strong? and if a player is selected for a position they were not aiming to get (ex. Chaser instead of Beater) can they decline?

McGonagall as Headmistress

Dear Mr. Filch,

How do you feel about Professor McGonagall as Headmistress? I know you loved Umbridge, so how does McGonagall compare?
