-'''''Draconifors''''' is a [[Transforming spell]] that turns statues of [[dragon]]s into real dragons. The caster 'swipes' their wand through the air and a ball of fire is shot from it at the statue, which will immediately animate and breathe fire. A [[Draconifors spellbook]] was found by [[Hermione Granger]] in [[Professor]] [[Cuthbert Binns]]'s [[History of Magic classroom]] in [[1993]].
