The Draconifors Spell (Draconifors) is a Transfiguration spell used to transform small objects into Dragons, which can then be controlled by the caster. The dragons produced from this spell are much smaller and less powerful than true dragons, and their size depends on the object from which they are transfigured- i.e., a smaller object will produce a smaller dragon, and a larger object will produce a larger dragon.[1]. It is taught in third year transfiguration class by Professor Minerva McGonagall[1].
