Quite a few times actually to really come to a point where she read the words and actually remembered them instead of forgetting five minutes later. Or at least, she thought she read this in a book. She could have just overheard someone saying it before. "He turned into some half fish shark thing in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. Although I think that was more of a mistake then anything." Quote:

Feeling pretty happy with herself, she continued, "What about bringing inanimate things to life, professor? And werewolves like Lupin? Would they count as partly human transfigurations? Well.. turning into a werewolf isn't by will.. never mind." she asked curiously. Transfiguration was her favorite class.
"Right again!" Mildred smiled proudly at the correct answers. They apparently paid good attention in History of Magic! "By transfiguring his upper half into that of a shark, Mister Krum was able to breathe freely under water, yes yes." Quote:

OH! Another good example!
"You know your history well!" Mildred exclaimed with a giggle, feeling a little more cheerful now. "A good example of using human transfiguration for more negative reasons."
"Human transfiguration is the probably the most complex type of transfiguration there is," the Professor explained, caution in her voice, "if performed wrongly.. well, the consequences aren't always pretty." They were good at concentrating though, and she was here to assist!
"We'll begin with something a little more simpler than transfigurating part of ourselves into that of an animal," she explained clearly with a clap of her hands. "Concentrate. Concentrate on your favourite fruit or vegetable."
HEHEHEHE.
