The Law Office of David A. King, P.C. has experience helping parents establish paternity claims.

When you think about it, out of all the spells, charms, hexes, and curses, the most potentially disturbing form of magic in the Harry Potter world may very well be polyjuice potion, just for the implications of how it could potentially be misused. It could almost be placed on the same level as the Unforgivable Curses.

Sure, most of the uses of polyjuice potion have been for the purpose of disguise and infiltration, but imagine a more mundane witch or wizard in a time of peace getting ahold of a piece of their favourite celebrity witch or wizard? In the real world, we can’t even respect a celebrity’s privacy enough for them to carry a cell phone without it getting hacked and their private photos leaked. Just imagine if we could rummage through their garbage for nail clippings, or steal their comb for hair?

Seriously, imagine a wizard paparazzo, getting some poor celebrity witch’s hair and hiring a model to drink the polyjuice potion do he can take lewd photographs for himself without a fuss. Someone else could fulfill a fantasy of having sex with or as their favourite celebrity, in the ultimate role play.

And this is something I find particularly disturbing, what if someone got pregnant in that scenario? If I took a polyjuice potion and turned into, oh say, Hugh Jackman, slept with my girlfriend, and conceived a child, would I be the father or would Jackman? Would my sperm’s DNA change along with me, or is it purely a cosmetic change? If it does change, would the resulting zygote’s paternal DNA revert back to mine, or stay Jackman’s?
