OK, I had the impression from The Chamber of Secrets that one could not change one's gender using polyjuice potion....
Was I wrong, or did JK pull a fast one?
And really, if wizards could walk around in the shoes of a witch even for an hour, don't you think that they would have a much less represseive society???

It wasn't explicitly stated that the juice couldn't be used to convert a man into a woman or a woman into a man - when Hermione, Ron and Harry did it, they just automatically assumed that they would be picking out the members of the same sex for them. It's interspecies (like when Hermione used the cat hair instead) that causes the problems.

Either Crabbe or Goyle disguise themselves as a small girl with a jar of frogspawn in the 6th book to keep watch for Draco whilst he's in the Room of Requirement. So yes, it's canonically possible Smile

It'd make for some interesting lemon fics, for sure Laughing

I'm so glad you've established that people can gender swap because I was counting on that for my story I'm writing. You've made my day. Very Happy

Hermione and Fluer were both Harry for a bit.

I read a fic a week or 3 ago that was very good and interesting .....
I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I haven't found it on Sycophanthex.

Here is the link over at HPFandom.net if anyone is interested though.

Enjoy
Happy Reading
