Entirely Human Transfiguration

Human Transfiguration was a sub-branch of Transfiguration and a form of transformation in which one transfigured human body parts or an entire human being into another form.Human Transfiguration was more difficult than any other form of Transfiguration, including Cross-Species Transfiguration and was therefore N.E.W.T.-level, taught only to sixth-years and above at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
==Nature==
Human Transfiguration could be used to essentially replicate the natural abilities of Metamorphmagi, allowing the practitioner or the subject to take on an entirely different form or make various individual changes to their appearance, such as growing or changing the colour, style or pattern of one's hair or taking on individual animal body parts. However, while human Transfiguration could presumably be performed by any wizard who was skilled enough, on themselves as well as on others, a Metamorphmagus was born with the ability to make such changes to their own bodies with little to no effort and without the use of a wand.Although it was possible to transfigure humans into inanimate objects, it is unknown how someone who had himself transfigured into an object would be able to untransfigure without the intervention of another witch or wizard. Probably, if witches and wizards performed this on themselves, they would do this with the intention of retaining their mental consciousness and abilities. Therefore, they could untransfigure themselves back to human form, both nonverbally and wandlessly.

===Dangers===
It had been stated many times that Human Transfiguration could go badly wrong when performed poorly. The user had the risk of getting stuck in their transfigured state.

Rubeus Hagrid	1991	Rubeus Hagrid gave Dudley Dursley a pig's tail in response to his father insulting Albus Dumbledore. Hargid later told Harry Potter that he was attempting to turn Dudley fully into a pig but was unsuccessful. This may have been a joke.

==Behind the scenes==
*In September 1994, when Draco Malfoy was transfigured into a ferret, he tried to get to the dungeons. Complete transfiguration into an animal makes a human think like the animal, except Animagus transfigurations. This suggests that the attempted escape had nothing to do with him wanting to get to his common room and was coincidental.
*In , Professor McGonagall claims that a wizard can use a combination of wandless and non-verbal magic to change themselves back into a human, though it had previously been established that full Human Transfiguration causes a human to think like the creature they turn into.
