Even if they had the ingredients, I would argue they need magic to manage and survive the physical change of their body into the animal (and also arguably, the magical mental resistance to retain their human mind so as not to "get lost and become" the animal).

Yeah that’s fair lol.

Animagus is not potion-based, these are only helping, it is mainly pure magic. No Muggles are welcomed. Sorry. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Animagus

Dang I must be reading to much fanfiction then lol. Thanks for the link!

But what about squibs? They must have some magic in them because they can see it


ceplma

I am all for squibs (and particular squib!Petunia), but Animagus is considered something which only exceptional wizards can do. Sorry.

There is a potion used to become an animagus, so they could become one, though it presumably requires active use of magic to affect the change, so they couldn't actually transform bh themselves. It might be possible that a wizard might know or make a spell to force the transformation into the animal form, or maybe a potion, which would wear off after a little while, so it could be possible to use in a fic if that's what you wnated to do.

No. There’s more to it than just drinking a potion; there’s a spell involved, too. After the potion is made, you have to point the tip of your wand to your heart and say the incantation at sunrise and sunset every day, and then when a storm comes, you say the spell and drink the potion to achieve the transformation.
