So if Luke (as a mouse) got the end of his tail cut off???
Would he not be (in some way) maimed when he was transformed back to a boy? - a finger missing? or worse!?
shareI was just thinking this.
shareSince boys don't have long tails in the first place, it shouldn't make a difference. Even if the transformation would leave him maimed, the spell could be adjusted accordingly.

No, and boys don't have fur. You've missed the point, - the boy (as a whole) was transformed into a mouse. That boy as a mouse then had the end of its tail cut off. Then from a 97% intact mouse transformed back into a boy. He would've had some damage turning back into a boy.
Get it?
I get your point, but I counter by saying that there are no real-world rules where fictional magical spells are concerned. It's very possible the good sorceress is skilled enough to restore him to 100% boy even if he's missing a minute percentage of his mouse body.
Or maybe he winds up missing something nonessential like a left little toe and doesn't notice it until after the credits.
