 | | A Metamorphmagus is a wizard who has the innate ability to transform their appearance completely, for instance, from fl to white, young to old, handsome to plain and so on. |
 | | Their magical ability is bottled up for weeks at a time and then, when made angry or frightened, it simply explodes out of them, sometimes (as in the case of the vanishing glass in the chapter of the same name, 'Philosopher's Stone) causing at least as much inconvenience to themselves as others. |
 | | So Harry is not a Metamorphmagus – just a boy who was clearly magical from birth. |
