I was just wondering what you guys thought because i have always suspected Hedwig of being an animagus because she always knows where to go and she has mood swings like when she gets mad at harry I mean do normal animals get mad at people like that?

i have to agree with you air_cadet1 and not only that, but Harry talks to her and she seems to actually understand him, almost like she herself is human...there's something definatley fishy about her, well, something fowl rather

I don't think any that you've listed are animagus.

Magical pets are just more "magical" than normal ones

i do belive that hegwig may well be an animagus because she seems to understand what harry says to her.

but mabey hermiones cat crookshanks could be because he doesnt really seem to act like a normal cat like when hermione first bought him he seemed very wild and no one else wanted to buy him. this is just a thought though.

Crookshanks is def. an animagus. it has been stated by JKR that mrs. Norris is not an animagus but i think crookshanks is. he could communicat with sirius in POA and crookshanks could also tell scabbers/PP was not a rat. [color=#993399][/color]

i didn't vote because i think that none of tehm are animaguses, if i had to chose one i would choose cookshanks but jk as a;lready confirmed that he isn't an animagus. i don't think any of themwill turn out to be animaguses, it would go of plot line a bit and seem realy realy realy weird if one of tehm was!

Yea i am with ginny-da-cat i disagree that any pets shown so far in series are animagus expect for scabbers[peter pettigrew].

I always thought Fawkes was an Animagus because he's wise like Dumbledore. Maybe he's an old friend of Dumbledore's waiting to show his human form. I don't know, what do you guys think?

Oh, I don't think we'll see any more animagi surprises in book 7. Jo has told us that there won't be any new characters ("no one really major" anyway). I think that someone pretending to be harry's owl for 6 years would be a major character. I would hope so, anyway.

I have been doing research on this subject and found that crookshanks is not an animagus she is actually a (I am getting this out of my monster book of monsters) Kneaze which is a cat like figure that matches crookshanks appearance that is highly intelligent and can detect suspicious figutes in disquise.l

true. Jo has also said something to that effect on her website. Crookshanks isn't an animagus. I doubt that any of the other animals in the book are either. I think that they are simply more communicative because of the magical abilities in the wizards, and perhaps the animals themselves.

Im not going to vote because I dont think any of those pets are Animagus but nice try !

I used to think that Crookshanks was James,but now this info has come i dont think he is.But its an idea

Well, Why not?

Maybe some pets are animaguses, their purposes may vary though, some might act the role of pets to spy on their owners and some might do it because they're sick of human life (but that's insanity of course), so transformed animaguses look exactly like normal animals, they can fool anyone, maybe even some of Arabella Figg's cats are animaguses since she is a squib and JKR said that her cats will have a role to play in book 7.
So it might be very possible, However I think that the most possible from the list above (the poll options) is Crookshanks, because his behaviour isn't normal, he's more intelligent than ordinary cats, maybe even more intelligent than some human beigns, he found out about Peter Pettigrew in PoA, while nobody else did except Sirius.
And Hedwig is a possibility as well, I read a thread somewhere here saying that Dumbledore is Hedwig and several clues were listed, actually I found this theory rather convincing than farfetched, because the clues were very convincing indeed, and some people think Fawkes is Dumbledore while others think Mrs. Norris is an animagus.
But the strangest animagus theory I've read is one which stated that Snape is Fawkes, and of course several clues were listed but they weren't very convincing, they were mostly guesswork.
So maybe some pets are indeed animaguses but we just don't know yet.

I realy dont think that Hedwig could be an animagus because there is no hint in any of the books that could make her one but you never know, jk could do something like that, and besides if she was one then why hasent she transformed yet to help harry, or why not durring the summer to help keep him company?

I don't think that any of them are animagus'. But if I'd have to choose Crookshanks. I don't know why, but I do.

I don't think any of the pets are animaguses. They are just very intelligent, but that's it. Fawkes is quite regular intelligence-wise for phoenixes, because, quoted from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
Phoenix song is magical; it is reputed to increase the courage of the pure of heart and to strike fear into the hearts of the impure.
So basically, all phoenixes and sensitive and understanding emotion-wise. Remember how the phoenix understood when everyone was grieving during the end of HPB, or when Harry needed help in CoS? Phoenixes are supposed to be understanding like that.
JKR said that Crookshanks is part Kneazle, so again, all Kneazles are more intelligent than cats.
All owls are smart in the HP world: they all understand where to go just from hearing a name, and they all understand human speech.
I don't think Pig shows any such interesting brilliance, emotion- or intelligence-wise. Same goes for Errol.

i actually dont think any of these pets are animagus, but out of the choices, crookshanks would make the most sense....at least to me.....but i only know hes smarter than youre average cat because hes part kneazle.....

Wouldn't it be good if Fawkes was an animagus

But who could it be

Who would be close enough to Dumbledore. Could it be a member of his family

Even if he is nt an animagus Fawkes is still cool

i dont think any of these pets are animagus but I do believe others may be. Just look at Peter Pettigrew. he disguised himself as scabbers for years and No one had any idea until Sirius caught a glimpse of him. If he hadn't we never would have known.

I think Crookshanks might be an animagus. The way he acted in book 3, just made me think that maybe he might be.

Well I voted crookshanks. I'm okay with Hi_bye_luvya.

I don't think Hedwige is an animagus. It's just a great friend. Yeah, animals can be mad of someone. I met a rat like that once. It was smart, it showed us it knew how to escape. But it did not escape. It was loyal and cuddly, always staying with its owner. Hedwige understands harry well, but it is not sufficient to be an animagus.

Fawkes can't be an animagus, or it may be an immortal human. Not sure it is possible without the philosopher's stone in his pocket !!(A phoenix with a pocket ??)

None of themm. If they were it would have surfaced already.

i think fawkes is an animagus because shes just so smart

Hedwig is such animagus

um guys at the beginnig you do know that most animals behave as if they understand what people are saying! I mean my dog ALWAYS knows what I am saying!!!!

I first voted Fawkes, because he really feels things people feel and because he lives with Dumbledore, so he most be special. But now I changed my mind. Now I think it might be Crookshanks. The way he understood what was going on in POA...

crookshanks, because she helps sirius, and defends him

Hmm.... I think Crookshanks might have been an animagus... That cat was acting almost like a human being at some times! He was acting almost like he was understanding the other's feelings and thoughts, and that was a bit scary at some times... Makes you think a lot about it!

I think none of them could actually be an animagus...

Crookshanks, which is the more likely for me to be one, only has the ability of his magical race. Same for Fawkes. Hedwig, well, she's been around wands long enough, so if she was actually one, she would have been able to take one and hit the road. Pig was merely a young owl, nothing special to it, and Errol... he was just tired and old!

Scabbers was just very comfortable in his position as a rat, until Sirius spotted him and Voldemort ascended. He only became human because he had too, but if Voldemort hadn;t returned and Sirius hadn't caught him, he would still be one of the Weasleys's pet.

Hmm I think Crookshanks might have been an animagus. Just the way JK described Crookshanks and the personality its almost if the kneazle was human.

honestly i think crookshnks & fawkes are animagus. i think crookshanks is becuase well the cat is pretty smart & i wonder sometimes it its too smart , knowing that scabbers was no good & after it the whole time , i thought that was a sign that maybe it could be a person. maybe & then theres fawkes . i felt as if fawkes was the animagus of dumbledore . or atleast the fawkes that helped harry was the other that was present with DD was a fake just a thought

To be honest, I thought for the longest time that Errol could be an animagus. I was always thinking that he could be an old wizard from back in the day that might know something vital concerning the Dark Lord and would become really important in later books. And I was almost correct, right family but wrong animal

I was convinced when I read the third book that Crookshanks was an animagus. And I figured it would unfold throughout the books. But it never did. He's just a cat. He was just really smart and acted almost human at times, I was so sure.............but I was wrong.

I dodn't really think any of them were animagi but if i had to choose i would say Crookshanks. He seemed to be able to communicate with Sirius when he was a dog even though he is a human and he knew that wormtail was more than a rat.

I think its most likely to be Crookshanks. He most acts like a human, and he makes friends with the Animagus version of Sirius. Its pretty obvious.

I would have bet Crookshanks was an animagus, more than half-kneazle, because, even when Sirius was an animagus, how could the cat get so well what he tried to say to him and how could Sirius understand the cat? It looks that magical creatures are smarter than what people thinks, after all.

I chose Hedwig just because she has the most characteristics to back it up, but I think she responds to Harry because she is an owl that's part of the magical world. I believe there's a difference in the way animals respond to muggles vs. wizards.

I don't know why I chose Fawkes but I think that Fawkes could be an animagus....haha this poll is different.

We know Crookshanks is a kneazle but I think she definitely has the most anamagus like characteristics. Then I would pick Hedwig, and then Fawkes... the other two are too dumb to be anamugi I think...

We know Crookshanks is a kneazle but I think she definitely has the most anamagus like characteristics. Then I would pick Hedwig, and then Fawkes... the other two are too dumb to be anamagi I think...

Ok so none of them are animagus.
As the person says in the first post, Hedwig has mood swings. All animals have mood swings but humans are so conceited and arrogant that they believe they alone have emotions - wrong!

Crookshanks is a kneazel which means he has magical qualities normal cats do not.
Fawkes is a phoenix and therefore magical anyway.

The rest are animals. Even humans are animals.
