I have a curious question in regards to this post. Can
a Animagi turn into a magical creature, such as a
unicorn or a phoenix. I have thought a lot about
whether Dumbledore would be a phoenix but the thought
always continues to whether or not that is possible,
it would seem that it would not be, seeing as how
magical creatures carry powers that nothing else has
and it would be odd that just because you can take
its form that you would possess those powers as
well?? Any thoughts on this, I am very open to any
suggestions out there.
