no incantation used; by magical device only
An extremely dangerous magical effect, allows a person to travel back in time. Because of the potential for catastrophe should history be altered, time travel is all but forbidden in Wizarding society. Certain magical devices are usable for time travel, but access to them is strictly controlled.
- Hermione used a Time Turner to repeat hours of the day and take more classes (PA)
- The Pensieve and Tom Riddle's diary allowed a form of time travel, although the person traveling was not actually part of the time they entered. Instead, they became an observer, unseen and unheard. This form of time travel is tied to stored memories and the traveler views the past from a vantage point near the person whose memories are used. This form of time travel might be better termed "memory travel."
"trans"
L. across + ?
"transmogrify"
Eng. verb c.1656, from L. to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque
or humorous effect
c.f. Calvin and Hobbes: his "duplicating machine" is called a Transmogrifier
perhaps
also related to:
"moggy"
Br. slang: cat
Supposedly something which results in a cat being killed.
- Lockhart pronounced with certainty that Mrs. Norris was dead, killed by the Transmogrifian Torture. Immediately thereafter, Dumbledore informed everyone that she wasn't in fact dead, rather she was Petrified, and Lockhart pointed out that he knew this all along. Knowing Lockhart, it is distinctly possible that there is no such thing as the Transmogrifian Torture (c.f. PESKIPIKSI PESTERNOMI) (CS9)
no incantation given
Causes the ears of the victim to wiggle and twitch uncontrollably.
- Harry was hit with this Hex as they practiced Hex-Deflection in Defense Against the Dark Arts class (GF28)
