<p>There is no definitive answer as to what exactly Homura's wings are, at this time. It is possible that the third movie will reveal new information about the nature of her wings, but for now, there is no real answer to this question.</p>

<p>If the 3rd movie is anything to go by, these are demon wings. When Madoka is grasped and pulled in by Homura at the end of Rebellion, Homura rewrites the universe once again. Here, she dons a pair of black wings. When Kyubey asks who she is, Homura replies she is a demon. Thus, it is probably safe to conclude these are demon wings.</p>

<p>At the end of the anime where Homura is in a wasteland, she grows wings. The texture is almost the same as the art style that is used for witches and their lairs, so I'm wondering - at the end of the anime, was Homura becoming something of a witch/magical girl hybrid?</p>

@atlantiza It's at the very end, as i said she's in a wasteland and there is a large number of Wraith ahead of her, you hear her say something to Madoka and you hear Madoka's voice echo in reply before she walks off with a set of wrings growing out her back which ends the scene with them covering the entire screen, i'll post up a screen shot when i get at the DVDs again

@Memor-X The shot of Homura flying appears in all three versions of the show (TV, Blu-Ray, movie).
