Assume a polymorph effect like enlarge person. This takes the 1-square medium creature and turns him into a 4-square large creature. What of one of the three new squares he now occupies is threatened by an enemy. Does this provoke an attack of opportunity as if he had moved into the square?
What about if one of the squares is occupied by an enemy? Does this provoke? And is the enemy pushed away, or do they remain overlapping the the same square?
One final thing, does the growing creature get to decide which squares he expands into (assuming they are not blocked by walls, etc)?
It hasn`t specifically come up but I envision using enlarge person a fair bit in an upcoming game.

You do not occupy your opponents square you would have to "Squeeze" into the space available taking the penalties.
Thanks, guys.

Growing is not movement.
Growing when in an insufficient space is not fully described as far as how it is handled. Interpretations that I've seen, and which all have some basis in the rules are:
1) Grow to max size allowed by the surrounding terrain and creatures.
2) Grow to full size, squeeze into available space.
3) Grow to full size, use the rule regarding ending movement in an illegal square.
Each of these presents some problems.
