Professor[1] Emeric Switch was the author of A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, a book required in first-year Transfiguration classes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had a portrait hung at Hogwarts Castle.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Switch may have passed away sometime prior to the 1990s as many portraits hung at Hogwarts Castle depict deceased individuals.
Etymology
Emeric is a variant of Emmerich, which means "whole, universal". This could relate to him being able to do transfiguration, as he can wholly turn something into something universally else.
To switch is to exchange one thing with another; could be extended to transfiguration, changing one form into another.
