hmm... my boggart would probably turn into a person with a knife running after me to kill me.... its strange but that freaks me out!
or it would change into a giant centipede

my boggart would probably turn into a giant clown with the scariest face in like the whole world, or maybe a BIG pool of water because im absolutly terrified of water for some reason...

my boggart would definatly be a spider i can't even touch one that is a mmwithout being scared of it. Its funny that some poeple fear things and some poeple dont fear at all. i have a friend her name i Ashleigh she doesnt fear anything she thinks im nuts to be scared of spiders, but meh we all have something dont we ?

My bogart would be alot like Mrs. Weasley's in OotP, except I don't fear my husband and children dying. I have a hope that I'd be with them again, and they'd be in a better place. But my greatest fear is them being in pain or emotional anguish. I can't stand to see any of them hurting in any way.

My Boggart will be definitely cockroaches.I really don't like them.and another one is Vampires

My boggart would probably be someone I love suffering because of me, and I couldnt be able to do anything about it. I also fear emptyness, when there is absolutely nothing.

What I would see when I see a boggert, I think I would see a loved one die. I would also see a very big bug! I hate bugs!!! Bugs are gross.
I would also see anyone i cared about suffering because of me!

i would probably see me being in an ocean with a whole bunch of sharks around me!!

(i love the ocean and water, its just the shark part)

I think my boggart would turn into a crazy person..

I am always afraid of walking alone in the city and running into a man in rags that is crazzzy!!

Definitely a huge wasp or bee. I have an extreme phobia.

It would probably turn into a huge spider I'm so afraid of then

Mine would transform into a large, empty void (that's redundant, I know) that swallows me into it. I will never understand my fear of such emptiness but that's what I fear most. That and a mega tsunami coming at me. Of course that wouldn't be a problem if I could apparate. Just pop up behind it.

ahh... mine would turn into a fish (yes, fishes are scary), or a friend/ family member dead. the last one would really hurt if that happened in real life, because you can't fix death....

Mine would probably make all the lights go off or something (I don't know if that's possible) or it would turn into a tornado, I would cry. My fears are the dark, rejection, and tornadoes, I don't see how it could turn into rejection, so.. that's out.

OOH. cool topic...

My boggart would have to be any kind of harmful insect, especially spiders. I'm not trying to copy Ron, I just can't stand how they move. One second they're completely still, the next, Boom!, they're moving at you. It's disgusting. *shudders*

If It doesn't turn into a spider, then it would be my dead body, or a family member's.

as soon as i saw this topic I said "cool" whenI read it.. i had to think about it.

My boggart would be a clown. Like honestly... why do they dress up like they about to muder someone??

This is very typical, but my boggart would turn into a dead loved one, like Mrs. Weasley's.

Why are so many people afraid of clowns? Honestly.. I don't get it. There is nothing scary about them!

my boggart would probably be... a lot of things. i am scared of a lot of things, i wont lie. but my biggest fear would probably be murderers. or probably a chain letter coming true...oh my gosh those things freak me out.

there was no need for me to think about this...if i saw a boggart it would turn into an anaconda. i am TERRIFIED of snakes but especailly anacondas.

i think my boggart would be my own death or my life with out Harry Potter kidding but i think it would be my own death or one of my friends or family dying because that would suck really big time. it would be pretty awesome to see my boggart no matter what it is

I agree with Livee Felton...Clowns. *shudder* I hate clowns so much. I can barely look at Ronald McDonald anymore. Clowns just freak me out. So bad. but then it could also turn into so many other things. I'm such a wimp....

Spider
Elevator
Snake
(a large body) Water
something very high up (heights)

I'm really just scared of a lot of things. I'm so lame...so very.

Haha, im a Ron, Itd turn into a spider or something closed to that. Im not deathly afraid of spiders but If i see one big enough Ill probly scream.

I would definitely have a Molly Weasley-ish boggart. I can't think of anything more terrifying than seeing my loved ones dead.
Livee Felton --lots of people are afraid of clowns. My daughter has been afraid of them since she was a child..she's 23 now, and they still make her skin crawl.

mine would be a huge wasp basicly it's the only thing I ever truly feared A lot of things can startle me, but a wasp just, like, makes me freak.

and why do so many people fear clowns. With shoes that big it's impossible to harm anyone. unless of course if you kick him in his *achem* balls with steel shoe noses. *maniacal laughter*
(girls, you haven't got a clue how much that hurts)

My boggart would turn into a giant needle I reckon! I hate them!! They freak me out so much!!

Same for me i think, like Mrs Weasely in Grimmauld Place *shudders*
Either that or a spider....

I know it is really horrible to say but my boggart wouldn't turn into a dead family member. You see, I don't fear that someone I love is going to leave me, because I know for a fact they will never leave me as long as I love them, and we will see each other again. I will be sad, I will probably cry for weeks on end. I remember when my grandad died. I didn't understand at the age of ten how serious death is, I just knew that he wasn't going to be there anymore, but now I know that the ones I love will always be with me wherever I am, whatever I do.

Wow james_pickles you do a lot of explaining in these things, but I guess that is a good thing, but back to the topic, I abosolutley hate spiders! man they scare me, but in the wizarding world, I would probably fear Dementors or banshees, dang I hate em`

Hm.... I'm most afraid of death, I have to say. But how would a boggart turn into death? No, I'm not afraid of corpses, just death.
-T-

Well, I know I will be quoting from Harry Potter but it is true..You don't fear death, you feel the unknown that what will happen to us when we do die. That is what you fear. You fear something horrible will happen.



Yeah I do do alot of explaining, cause things like this make are emotional to me and really precious.

Yes, I see dear, Now how does that make you feel? Sad? Mad? Glad? Fearful for your life that when you turn a corner a grim will pop out of no where?

Ok done, but yeah I do see your point.


Fawkes

Huh? Fawkes, who are you talking to? Me? James Pickles? Someone else? Sorry... I'm getting so confused!
-T-

If I encountered a boggart it would probably turn into a Snake or a Spider. I'm not sure which though. Both snakes and spider terrify me equally. Even pictures of them frighten me

I would be afraid of seeing what I was afraid of... in other words, afraid of the boggart...
Also of seeing someone i loved die.

Sorry darklord, I was talking to jamespickles. I didn't mean to make you confused so yes again I am sorry


Fawkes

Well FawkesThePhoenix, I always do things that other people wouldn't dare do. Like I walk right near the edge of a pond or river, or walk on a very narrow wall, or walk in the middle of the road if there is no pavement left. And people ask me why I do it..And I just say, because I am not scared of what happens to me, if God wants me to die that way then I will die that way, if he doesn't then I won't.

Wow you should become a philosopher. I wasn't trying to make fun of you if that is what you were thinking, I actually think you make great points.


Fawkes

Haha I know. I always like to hear peoples opinions on my opinions, if that makes sense. My Grandma said I am a philosopher. My cousin cut her knee in the river cause she fell and she was upset so I went over to her and I said, It is better for in the river and hurt yourself, than to fall in love and hurt yourself. But my Grandma said I am a philosopher.

My boggart would probably be a person holding a weapon. This is the only thing I am really scared of. I'm usually quite brave when I know I can fight with my nude hands but in front of a weapon...well I'd feel totally without defense. Actually since I've had my children I fear to be hurted more than before, because I feel like I have a responsibility towards them to keep healthy and safe...

Witchmom )O(

Well you know witchmom, that is what operates a gun, not a bullet or a trigger, it is fear. Most bank robbers or burgulars don't intend to shoot people, or stab them for that matter. They just use a gun for fear, to get people to do what they want.

Actually, James_Pickles, I might not want to discover what kind of people are behind the gun.... . I can't risk it. I'm not talking about simple burglars, I don't care about my money or my jewelry, they're just "things" and I'd give them away easily. I talk about people really threatening others, because they like violence.

Witchmom )O(

a big fat spider or seeing someone I really love die

I'm not 100% sure what it would turn into. I'm not afraid of dying myself, though it is kind of creepy to think about, but maybe seeing someone I loved dying or a giant spider (I'm afraid to death of spiders) like lilyevans.

You know, I'm not sure what it'd turn into. But right now, it'd probably turn into the spider I just saw. It was repulsive. I'm usually not that scared of spiders, I live on the river...they're everywhere around here.

But, this one...ugh, ick. It was really thick and black, it had a white spot on it's back and it wasn't that big, but it was retty good sized. It looked like a miniature tarantula. I tried to spray it with home insect spray but it kept lifting it's front legs up at me. AND IT WOULDN'T DIE!

My god, I don't know where it is now, it's probably on my head.

<3

besides my boggart turning into my own death i think it would turn in to like one of my friends of one of my family members dying because well i am not to scared of much else but i am scared that one of my family of friends might die. i not to scared of my own death because well if it is your time to die then there is nothing you can do about it. so i am not to scared of death. like i will be scared but that is not the scariest thing in the world

I really hope that spider isn't on your head! I don't think I could survive living on a river because I am scared of spiders! I know that they can't hurt you, but they are so creepy! I've been afraid of them ever since I was small and I walked through a spider web and the spider was crawling over my hand (I washed him off in the sink). I tried to get over it as little kid by catching a spider and keeping it for a pet, but I was so scared of it that I let it die. I really can't do spiders, I always have my little brother take them outside for me. Ahh, it wouldn't die? That is really creepy, maybe it's going to come back and haunt you.

I am terrified of that, people who take pleasure in violence, people who have so much negative energy built up that they let it go and don't give a darn for the consequences or worse, they actually like the consequences, taking sadistic pleasure in other peoples unhappiness/sadness/pain. Not simply violent actions but also violent attitudes and language, how people can take pleasure from seeing someone cry or calling them names (bullying) is the same nature that causes some humans to take pleasure in brutally attacking someone to the brink of death- I abhor it and it does scare me.

I always remember the time when I was waiting in the doctors reception, waiting for my appointment to discuss my agoraphobia (ironically), when it came on the radio about 'happy slapping' (which is revolting!) and I just though to myself "yeah, and I'm considered the sick one for not wanting to go out"

My biggest phobia I suppose is people and how cruel they can be, although there are many many beautifully nice and moral people out there.

What actually stopped me from going out was the attitude of many people (not all ), that I couldn't seem to go out of the house without seeing cruelty or hearing it

Admittedly after a while, when I heard people laughing I assumed it was about me and it was very much in my own imagination but I still am edgy around people with aggressive behaviour (even if they are not actually being aggressive, simply their mannerism will trigger a response in me). However, I must say that although a majority of my fear was (i.e. 'they are laughing at me') caused predominately by my own lack of confidence, it must be said that it did stem from somewhere, that people can be really cruel.

I was once told about how two young boys ran up to an elderly male homeless person and kicked him in the chest and subsequently beat him - I was outraged, but then I wondered why no one either attempted to stop it or called the police - that is also what terrifies me, that I (or my disabled mother, my father, boyfriend etc) could be attacked with bystanders just spectating

I read about a cat being cooked in a microwave, people who beat their pets/children/others - at one point I was scared to let my cat out because some neighbourhood kids had apparently thrown stuff at one my neighbours dogs - why do such things?

It is this sort of irrational violence for pleasure that terrifies me - although I still detest lesser forms of aggresion (like the aforementioned bullying)

At Uni we have ramps for wheelchair access - however this one particular set from the hall to the dining area isn't very functional (its corners very abruptly making it hard to maneuver), I went for a lab meeting with my group to find them laughing (others were too), I turned to see what they were laughing at and this poor woman had become stuck in the corner - not only did they not help her but they were actually laughing! - I went over and helped, after I apologized for my appalling steering (I was hopeless), we had a coffee together and she said that it happens all the time, that she can even simply drop something and noone will help to pick it up and others talk to her like she was stupid, I asked her how she could not hate people for this - and she said because she knows that out of a 100 people who laugh or are cruel there will always be one that will be nice and that reaffirms her faith in human kindness - which made me rethink

but yeah, people are my biggest fear

Sorry for going on and on, and I really don't think that all people are horrid it just scares me that we do seem to have an innate cruelty in us that some people let free. Sorry for being so maudlin. I do love humankind but that inner violence is scary but like Jane (the woman I had coffee with) said above, there is always an inner kindness too that will always shine through the darkness

my boggart would be of someone I love being hurt (probably because of a cruel person), I worry about my mum constantly

Oh and cockroaches

Wow Velvet, you know really well what you are afraid of. Cats being cooked in the microwave, that's terrible! I agree that a lot of people can be scary, which is why I am afraid someone I love will die, especally by someone who enjoys the prospect of violence. There are a lot of bad people in the world, but there are a lot of good people too, which is great. After everyhting that happened to that lady, it's nice to know that she still has faith in humankind. I just thought I'd say that.

mine would turn into a 20 ft. high cliff I ahte heights so much. those heights would difffenitly freak me out to the most.

Hmm... This is a tricky question to answer. I have many fears in life and I don't really know where to begin. Firstly, I would have to say some killer guy coming at me. Ugh... like the guy who chases you in your dreams. You run away and then you always happen to trip...

Well anyway besides that, I guess my next big fear are spiders called, Daddy-Long-Legs. When I see one, I get really disgusted. I don't mean the little baby ones. I mean the big ones with the really small bodies and the long skinny legs.... ugh... (shiver in seat) And the way they walk really disgusts me... Blech! Wow, that was a pretty long rant about those stupid spiders...
