May 19, 2022 at 6:20 comment added Alexander The 1st @JanusBahsJacquet: One thing that would rule out Animagus is the ingredients that were missing form the private stores - the ingredients for an Animagus training potion is a different subset than the ingredients for a Polyjuice potion. Also, Hermione wasn't a permanent half-human, half-animal mutation, which could've happened if done incorrectly.
Feb 11, 2016 at 22:49 comment added Janus Bahs Jacquet In my previous comment, please feel to replace “Metamorphmagi” with “Animagi”, since those were the ones I was thinking about. Metamorphmagi don’t transform into animals, after all.
Feb 11, 2016 at 22:29 comment added Janus Bahs Jacquet Seems obviously, but probably isn’t quite that obvious. Remember, Polyjuice Potion is only meant to be used to transform into humans, and the results if you try to transform into a non-human are likely not very familiar or well-known. Transforming humans into animals seems to be more a Transfiguration thing: compare Moody Transfiguring Malfoy into a ferret, or indeed the notion of Metamorphmagi. So I would guess Hermione’s failed transformation was more likely to be put down to bad spellwork/Transfiguration/bullying than Polyjuice Potion.
