If you\u2019re a huge Harry Potter fan, you might love to learn about every character down to a tee. Being a cat lover, you will naturally be drawn to characters like Professor McGonagall and others like Hermione, who has a cat as a familiar. And let\u2019s not forget the lovely, long-haired Mrs. Norris making her way on set.<\/p>\n

If you have paid special attention to the cat representing Professor McGonagall, you might wonder what kind of cat breed this is. After all, it\u2019s very unique\u2014and you\u2019re hoping it\u2019s real and not just CGI. Lucky for you, this cat breed certainly exists in the same color as the movie\u2014Professor McGonagall turns into a gray and black tabby British Shorthair!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor McGonagall Is a British Shorthair<\/h2>\n

Professor Minerva McGonagall has had an affinity for cats since she was a young girl. Unsurprisingly, she has her very own Animagus, a beautiful gray and black tabby British Shorthair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little information about this character. Professor McGonagall is a Scottish half-blood witch. Legend has it, it took the sorting hat 5 1\/2 minutes to decide whether she was a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw\u2014making her a Hatstall.<\/p>\n

Minerva has roots working for the Ministry of Magic but later returned to Hogwarts to be the character we know and love on screen.<\/p>\n

Due to Professor McGonagall\u2019s Animagus being a cat, it probably comes as no surprise that her Patronus is also a cat. In the films, Harry Potter is a stag, just like his father. Snape has a dog Patronus. Dumbledore has his phoenix, of course.<\/p>\n
