Trans-Species Transformation^[1] was a sub-type of transformation magic in which one organism is transformed into something a different species.

It is probable that Cross-Species Switches are an example of Trans-Species Transformation, due to the similarity in their names. If this is so, then Transforming Spells must be adapted to perform Trans-Species Transformation^[2].

The periodical Transfiguration Today provided some information on this branch of magic, as Albus Dumbledore submitted a paper on it to the periodical^[1].

ExamplesEdit

• First year students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry transform things and animals into birds.
• Third year students turn things and animals into rabbits.
• Fourth year students transform guinea fowl into guinea pigs.
• Duellists transform opponents into ducks, fish, geese and worms frequently.
