When Transfiguring, it is important to make firm and decisive wand movements. Do not wiggle or twirl your wand unnecessarily, or the Transfiguration will certainly be unsuccessful.

Form a clear mental picture of the object you are hoping to create before attempting a Transfiguring spell.

Beginners should say the spell clearly. More advanced wizards do not need to say the spell aloud.

Incomplete Transfigurations are difficult to put right, but you must attempt to do so. Leaving the head of a rabbit on a footstool is irresponsible and dangerous. Say ‘Reparifarge!’ and the object or creature should return to its natural state.

	The '''Dementor's Kiss''' is the act of a [[Dementor]] sucking out a person's soul. It was sometimes used as a sentence for criminals by the [[British Ministry of Magic\|Ministry of Magic]], and is considered a fate worse than death. Before Voldemort was in control of the Ministry, Dementor's Kiss was ordinarily used against those who escape from Azkaban. When [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] became [[Minister for Magic]] after the end of the [[Second Wizarding War]] in [[1998]], Dementors were no longer used by the Ministry of Magic.

	Most importantly, Harry cared about the people around him, even pitying Draco Malfoy when the boy was ordered by Voldemort to assassinate Dumbledore. Harry had the ability to love and be compassionate, making him more vulnerable to suffering pain, but also capable of experiencing deep friendship and loyalty that helped guide him to greatness. For Voldemort, love, fidelity, or compassion are unknown and unwelcome concepts. Voldemort would demand loyalty and respect from his [[Death Eaters]], but had little in return. Voldemort had a tendency to dispose of [[Death Eaters]] who either failed him, angered him, or were no longer of use to him. Despite literally sharing the same blood, Voldemort and Harry were also related by blood, however distantly, through their shared descent from the Peverells (Voldemort through the [[House of Gaunt\|Gaunts]] and Harry through the [[Potter family\|Potters]]). This made them distant cousins.		Most importantly, Harry cared about the people around him, even pitying Draco Malfoy when the boy was ordered by Voldemort to assassinate Dumbledore.

	The '''Dementor's Kiss''' is the act of a [[Dementor]] sucking out a person's soul. It was sometimes used as a sentence for criminals by the [[British Ministry of Magic\|Ministry of Magic]], and is considered a fate worse than death. Before Voldemort was in control of the Ministry, Dementor's Kiss was ordinarily used against those who escape from Azkaban. When [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] became [[Minister for Magic]] after the end of the [[Second Wizarding War]] in [[1998]], Dementors were no longer used by the Ministry of Magic.
