In this week's episode, Ali and Emma discuss the complexities of Animagi in the wizarding world; from the intricate process of becoming an Animagus to the behaviors of animals and how Animagus forms connect to Corporeal Patronus forms.

Also in this episode:

1. The process of becoming an Animagus
2. Death's-Head Hawk moths
3. Protection of animals and humans when it comes to the Animagus Registry
4. Animal behavior and Patronus / Animagus forms
