A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration is a text book on Transfiguration by Emeric Switch. It was a required textbook for Transfiguration classes for first [1] and second year [2] students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Before Ginny Weasley's first year at Hogwarts, Lucius Malfoy managed to slip Tom Riddle's Diary into her second-hand copy of the book in Flourish and Blotts, leading to the re-opening of the Chamber of Secrets in that term. [2]
