    As you all know, when Voldemort returned to life, he gave Peter a new shiny metal hand in place of the one he lost to help bring him back.

    A strange and slightly humorous thought came to me when I was thinking about this.

    If Peter went into his animagus form would he be a rat with a metal paw or a rat connected to a big metal human hand?

    and how DOES this hand work?

    ...dumb question.

    It's a replacement hand, not a fake limb (like Mad Eye's leg). It does everything his old hand does, including neat features like killing werewolves and choking bitches (himself).

    But even if it wasn't, riddle me this: what happens to McGonagall's glasses when she transforms? Is she a cat with markings around her eyes resembling spectacles, or a cat with glasses slipping off of her fucking nose?

    And the hand was fucking SILVER! Not metal. Get your canon shit right. The rat's silver hand will transform with him. Dur ta dur! Not that hard to figure out.

    Moody's fake leg IS a replacement for his leg and Peter's hand IS a fake hand =/

    McGonagall's glasses and Moody's leg doesn't tell me what would happen. Moody's leg isn't ATTACHED to him and neither are McGonagall's glasses but his hand is.

    are you saying it WOULD turn into a little metal paw?

    and as you said, its not HIS hand or else it wouldn't choke himself so would it change if his body changed

    SILVER IS A FUCKING METAL! element Ag fagget

    That always bothered me. Voldemort can make silver out of nothing with seemingly no effort.

    How is there any economic system if people can do that?

    And its liquid silver by the guess of it. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to move it.

    I swear I'm speaking Chinese. That's the only reason people can't understand simple shit.

    If, by your observation, McG's UNattached glasses blend in to her animagus transformation, what do you think (think hard now) will happen to THE MAGICALLY BONDED LIMB?

    It was for this reason that I pointed out Moody's leg in the first place;Moody's leg is some screwed-in tree stump, whereas Pettigrew's hand behaves like a real hand. Like his old hand. The old hand that didn't look like a fucking human hand when he transformed into a rat. The fact that it choked him is irrelevant.

    @Darius: They also have a philosopher's stone, but they seem to be okay. As for the silver, think natural diamond vs. Synthetic diamond; there's probably somthing inherently different about conjured silver. Or it's not silver at all; Harry just thought it looked like silver.

    lol I agree with Blaise. Pettigrew's silver hand will act exactly like his old one. It acts like Anakin Skywalker's robotic hand, except it'll operate a little bit differently in response times.

    That only tells me that moody has a stump for a leg, you havent proved shit to me. That would make sense though if moody HAD an animagus form.

    How about this. if moody drank a polyjuice potion would he grow a new leg and the stump pop out or would it change with him? with Crouch he lost his leg and screwed in the stump when he changed into moody.

    to the other retard- liquid silver is still a metal and it would make a molten puddle, not a hand. its probably just solid silver that is flexible because of magic.

    Didn't he hurt Remus with it? Or is that fanon?

    @Darius: I don't think he did; I too always assumed it was fanon
    @Hoyt: Hermione got a cat tail and whiskers the first time she took the potion. Harry gained the weight and baldness of the old man he imitated in DH. So it stands to reason that Moody would get a leg if the person the potion was based on had their leg.

    Again: I brought up Moody's leg to compare to McG's glasses. Or even an animagus' clothing, wand, watch - whatever. If these inanimate, unconnected articles are included within the transformation, then Why would something more intimately connected to the person NOT be incorporated as well?

    I do agree somewhat but I guess we'll never know for sure.

    Never mind, new question. Are HP werewolves like Saiyans in DragonBall and only change at the light of the full moon or do they change regardless?

    It's explicitly stated that they only transform during the full moon.

    I think he meant does the LIGHT of the moon change them, or just if the moon is up.

    I'm 95% sure moonlight doesn't actually have to hit the werewolf to cause it to change.

    Remus transformed every full moon in the shrieking shack, where there's no windows.

    Seriously, being a werewolf wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is described in canon if you can just go indoors, underground, in a cave, etc to escape from the transformation.

    Round that up to 100. In PoA he curled up as a wolf in his office. I'm sure he would have installed curtains instead of drinking crappy Snape-potion if it was an option.

    I'd say it's if the moon is up, regardless of whether the light is shining on them.

    Otherwise, why the hell would they need Wolfsbane? It'd just be "basement night".

    I should think that this would be obvious...

    I had the impression that it was an impressive feat of magic to be able to conjure silver like that: Voldemort would be one of the few.

    Also, the OP question is stupid. JB solved it in his first reply. Everything that an animagus has on them when they transform, transforms with them.

    ^^ Canon yes, but why did the fuckers at WB make the movie-transformation result in lack of clothes for Sirius in OotP? I am guessing that it is this which let to the question, because all cannon evidence points to what Blaise said and it does seem rather obvious in the cases of any animagi we see in cannon (we can add the same argument with Rita's glasses seemingly creating markings when she transforms as well).

    Do we actually see Rat-boy transform in canon post-silver hand? Seriously, I've somehow managed to cleanse my mind from most of the 'Half-Baked Plot' and 'Hermione Granger and the Deathly Hallows' so I can't actually remember if that occurred in canon...
