------------------------------------------------------

First year students will focus on the basics of Transfiguration and complete simple transfigurations like match to needle and beetle to button.

Second year students will learn how to use switching spells, study Animagi, and complete slightly more advanced transfigurations like mouse to teacup, hedgehog to pincushion, and teapot to tortoise.

Third year students will delve deeper into switching spells, study Metamorphmagi, and transfigure desks to pigs.

Fourth year students will be introduced to vanishing spells and Cross-Species Transfiguration (ie. guinea fowl to guinea pigs.)

In the students' fifth year, the primary focus will be to prepare each and every student for their Transfiguration Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination (O.W.L.) so that they will get an "Exceeds Expectations" (E) or higher. Some topics to be covered are vanishing spells (on invertebrates only) and a very basic introduction to conjuring spells.

Should they pass their O.W.L. with an E or an "Outstanding" (O), students will have the option of continuing on with Transfiguration in Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test (N.E.W.T.) level classes in their sixth and seventh years.

Sixth year students will cover conjuring spells, advanced vanishing spells (on invertebrates only), introduction to vanishing spells (on vertebrates), and the very basics of Self-Transfiguration.

Seventh year students will study conjuring spells, advanced vanishing spells on both invertebrates and vertebrates, advanced Self-Transfiguration, and possibly touch upon training to become an animagus with the assistance of a wand.
