Something's been annoying me. Wizards aren't allowed to choose their
Animagus form, although one would hardly be able to tell this from
the books.
Every Animagus we've seen so far has been perfectly adapted to that
wizard's needs. Prongs and Padfoot were strong enough to keep Moony
in line, with Wormtail useful for things such as deactivating the
whomping willow.
Minerva's cat form is ideal for sneaking around Muggle areas
unnoticed.
Rita's bug form was perfect for her spy routine.
To drive the point home, I hope that we finally see a long-
awaited "Absolutely Useless Animags". I'm talking about an animal
for completely and utterly unfit for whatever the Wizard had been
planning on doing.
For instance, an assasin who has the ability to become a 3 ton male
rhinoceros.
A mountaineer who becomes 570 pounds of sea lion.
A fierce criminal who becomes a dodo.
That sort of thing. Just validation that the animagus magic doesn't
always work out as planned. "Who killed this man?" "I think I saw a
rhino hiding behind that shrub, but I can't be sure. It may have
been a fat unicorn."
