I have read several reviews on fanfiction.net, and posts here, that say Harry will transfigure a very thin knife out of the tip of his wand and cut off all the Death Eaters’ heads, perhaps while distracting Voldemort with words. While that could happen, I think it would be better for Harry to go for their arms. No arm means no mark, and no pointing wands, but is much easier to survive, especially with magic medicine and the Philosopher’s Stone right there!. Actually, Harry could transmute enough phosphorus to burn so bright as to blind everyone behind him that he cannot see and aim at, and cut off the arms of everyone else for maximum survivability. Hmm, he’d have to permanant the phosphorus transfiguration anyways, though, since he doesn’t want any bits of inhaled smoke to turn into wood inside people’s cells. Sheeze this is complicated...
And it makes Wizarding wars as deadly-scorched-earth as Muggle wars. This has been a theme of the story, so it works that way too. If I can’t think of any more improvements and I don’t see any suggestions here I’ll post this on fanfiction.net tomorrow morning.
I don’t want Draco to lose his daddy by his best friend...

This would most likely require the Philosopher’s Stone to be in contact with the transfigured matter for several minutes (see chapter 111), which is impossible:
“Professor,” Harry said, “if the worst happens in a case like that, is there any way of maintaining the Transfiguration?”
“No,” Professor McGonagall said flatly. “Sustaining a Transfiguration is a constant drain on your magic which scales with the size of the target form. And you would need to recontact the target every few hours, which is, in a case like this, impossible. Disasters like this are unrecoverable! ”
The correct way to solve the problem is to apply another Transfiguration to turn the victim’s body into its healthy form, then use the Philosopher’s Stone to make the second Transfiguration permanent.

Is there a reason why this would not work?
