Yes, he could transform into a rat. For thirteen years he lived with the Weasley family under the name Scabbers.
Note: His name is Pet-I-Grew -- does it give you a clue?
Cuz his animagus was a rat and a rats tail looks like a worm.
Nobody noticed - Peter Pettigrew was an animagus, and took the form of a rat. Ron thought it was a normal rat. So did almost everybody else.
He was sentenced to a life in Azkaban but he escaped in his 12th year in Azkaban. He turned his Animagus form and escaped
Scabbers was the rat. Peter Pettigrew is the name of the person who was the rat.
Yes. Remus Lupin was a werewolf, so his three friends - Sirius, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew - learned how to transform themselves into animals also. Sirius Black transforms into a large black hound; Peter Pettigrew was Ron Weasley's pet rat, and James Potter could become a stag.
Becoming an Animagus is a very difficult process and not many people achieve it. Below are those who weren known to be Animagus:Minevra McGongall - A tabby catSirus Black - A large black dog (unregistered)James Potter - A stag (unregistered)Peter Pettigrew - A rat (unregistered)Rita Skeeter - A beetle (unregistered)There were a total of seven registered Animagus in the 20th century - one of whom was McGongall. The other six were not mentioned.
Probably not; having TWO of the major characters whose pets are animaguses would be quite improbable. J.K. Rowlings is a good enough writer that she would not have used this singular plot device twice. Ron Weasley's pet rat Scabbers was the disguise of the animagus Peter Pettigrew, whose nickname was "Wormtail".
Yes Peter Pettigrew was a bad guy because he was involved in James Potter's death (Harry Pother's Father)
Wormtail is a nickname for Peter Pettigrew. He was one of James Potter's (Harry's dad) best friends at school. But he ended up working for Lord Voldemort and betrayed harry's parents and got them killed.
'Scabbers' was a rat owned by Ron Weasley in the first three Harry Potter books (1991-94). In 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', Ron reveals Scabbers used to belong to Percy, but was given to Ron when Percy got an owl as a present. In 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', it is revealed that 'Scabbers' is actually an Animagus (wizard who can turn into an animal) by the name of Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew was the friend of James Potter (Harry's father), Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. He betrayed James and Lily Potter's location to Voldemort, resulting in their deaths, and framed Sirius Black for the betrayal. Pettigrew faked his own death (for which Sirius Black was blamed) and lived with the Weasley family in the form of Scabbers the rat until Sirius Black escaped Azkaban Prison and recognised him. The actor who plays Peter Pettigrew (in human form) in the Harry Potter film franchise is Timothy Spall.
The original authors are: James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.James got his nickname 'Prongs' because of his Animagus, the stagLupin got his nickname 'Moony' as he is a werewolf and when there is a full moon he transforms.Pettegrew got his nickname 'Wormtail' as he was and Animagus and could turn into a rat, hence Wormtail.Sirius got his nickname 'Padfoot' as he was also an Animagus and could turn into a dog.Together they are: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.You can probably find out this information from the book 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Peter Pettigrew (aka Wormtail) dies on page 381 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Hope I helped.
