Question: In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, if you needed to appear to be Professor McGonagall, what potion would you drink to successfully assume her physical properties?
Answer: Polyjuice Potion is a very complicated potion that allows the drinker to assume the form of someone else. While it can account for both age and gender, Polyjuice Potion cannot be used for a human to take an animal form or for a half-breed to assume human form. It was used many times in the events leading up to, and during, the Second Wizarding War (and possibly the First Wizarding War, although there are no documented instances of it). The potion also played a crucial role in Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley’s investigation of the Chamber of Secrets in their second year. It was also used in Draco Malfoy’s plot to smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1997, in the Battle over Little Whinging, and in Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s Infiltration of the Ministry of Magic and their break-in of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in 1998.
