harry potter - Can an Animagus take the form of any animal?


Similar to my old question about what animals a Patronus can be, are there any limits to the animal forms an Animagus can be?





  • We know that the animal form can be much smaller than human (cat, rat, beetle) so I don't think size is a factor.




  • I'm not aware of any Animagus who transforms into a magical creature (e.g. unicorn or phoenix) so maybe those aren't possible.




Ultimately, what I'd like to know is whether there could be a T-Rex Animagus... (prompted by a funny comment about difficulty with cut/paste while in animal form)
