If you had to face a Boggart, what would it be?

[Sean Hollyman]

For those who don't know, a boggart is a creature that takes the shape of what you are most afraid of.

For me, it would be a giant, floppy, half rotten fish, with dead eyes.. being ridden by a baby with a giant head. That shit would terrify me!

 

[Mayhaps]

A scorpion with spider-legs, hissing like a snake, able to seemingly float around and too big to squash with your foot, but small enough to be able to hide on your body.

Or something like that...

 

[Luna]

Nightmare Moon.


Never again...

 

[Dragoon]

Probably a giant wasp, I'm absolutely terrified of wasps/bees

 

[DoPo]

Ugh, I don't really know. I've always felt funny when I hear those "I'm your greatest fear" lines. Not that I don't have one, I just don't know what it is. If I had to guess, some sort of undead-ish looking humanoid-ish creature. Not a zombie, as those don't look intelligent, this one does and acts as one. Had a nightmare with that once (close enough, let's call it a nightmare), fairly recently - within last month or two. I'm telling you, that's probably the most unsettling nightmare I've had.

 

[Jonluw]

A seagull, maybe.
A really menacing one.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Seeing as my greatest fear isn't exactly something you can personify, I'm going to say the dude from the video from 'Another Brick in the Wall' by Pink Floyd - hard to describe him so:

The puppet/animated dude from about 0:35 - 0:40 seconds in. He's always freaked me out. 0:50 - 0:55 isn't much better either. Urgh.

 

[b15h4m0n]

Giant, unnatural aberration, similar to a deep-sea fish/monster with screwed eye/teeth/body/tentacle shapes and proportions. Floating in a complete darkness around me, possibly under water.

 

[Esotera]

Probably myself. I have a lot of very bad character flaws that I absolutely hate & am trying to get rid of, but would find very hard to face.

Alternatively, these guys:

Yeah kinda like that this guys describing. Like a zombie, but intelligent. Also it would be super fast, kinda like you blink and its in front of you. Its eyes would probably be black orbs too since that kinda creeps me out.

 

[Zeckt]

A giant human sized rat dirty and smelling of urine chattering at me with its giant beady eyes. Uh ... I think I need to lie down.

 

[teqrevisited]

A giant hairy spider. Nothing with that many legs and eyes should be allowed to live. I don't even know what I hate more. The way their legs move creeps me the fuck out but their eyes are just the solid, soulless black of the hellish abyss that they came from.

 

[Rawne1980]

A giant Brussel Sprout with spider legs ..... and it sings Spice Girls.

 

[Jedoro]

Probably a dementor. Not that I'm afraid of losing the happy feelings that just radiate from within me, but it's the fact that a dementor can steal my soul, the very essence of who I am.

 

[Keoul]

If someone's worst fear was a friend dying would the boggart just be killing itself or turn into a corpse?

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

The giant squid/spider hybrid that haunts my nightmares...

The Squider. Seriously, fuck that guy.

 

[Samantha Burt]

I think it would be interesting, scientifically to find out. I've always viewed fear as kind of an absolute: you're afraid or you aren't. But there are a great list of things it could be; spiders, poisons and lightning to name a few.

 

[Kreett]

A swarm of wasps..

Captcha: move mountains, I sure would to get away from it!

It would turn into the corpse of that friend. This actually happens after a fashion in book 6 or something of HP. It isn't actually dead though =)

Anyway, I really don't know what it would be for me. Sadly one of my guesses is that wit would be a person, maybe that I had really hurt by something I had knowingly done.
