Except that can be dodged. How do you dodge transmutation? It's been established that it has been used in combat by an expert duelist(albeit incredibly dangerously), so I'd wager that it's not without use.
You make sure your opponent doesn't touch you with his wand.
Huh, somehow I missed that restriction.
wedrifid did it first.
You transfigure (a one atom line in the air to the person and his face) to cyanide.
Harry can do partial transfiguration; he can't transfigure gases.
I guess you're right, even though there's no reason for that limitation either, given how the physics of transfiguration works- e.g is there really a difference between the electron clouds in a metal and clouds of gas.
Anyway, he can transfigure through the ground, up through a leg, and to the face.
