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.
