Hemal Modi's Diary

Minerva McGonagall, a former Quidditch player, is professor of Transfiguration and the head of Gryffindor house. She is one of the few living wizards who is an animagus (that is, she can transform into an animal), and her animagus form is a cat. Professor McGonagall first appears in the opening chapter of book 1, when she and Dumbledore discuss the tragic deaths of James and Lily Potter, and the fate of their son Harry. McGonagall is famous at Hogwarts for her strictness, her fairness, and her intelligence, though she also has a warmer, fun-loving, Quidditch-obsessed side. She helps Harry and his friends in subtle ways, and she attends every Quidditch match, crying happily when Gryffindor finally wins in Harry's third year.

The sorting hat says that I belong in Ravenclaw!

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose intelligence is surest."

Ravenclaw students tend to be clever, witty, intelligent, and knowledgeable.
