	But really, McGonagall fears nothing.

	Good quiz, i like Voldemorts one especially, not sure about deans though.

	kirsten87:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 07:15 GMT	4 points
	pretty sure deans was mentioned in the book

	A good quiz, with some quite clever answers. Personally, I think you should also accept Mrs Norris for Dog, and Lavender Brown for Fenrir Greyback. Also, I would question Luna's, but as you say they are not necessarily their greatest fear.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Clever in general, but I'm pretty sure McGonagall's wouldn't be a dog. Perhaps, like abbeycarbs said, she fears nothing (though I think the new information revealed on Pottermore might give us a clue to what hers would be!)

	@TerraTheTerror; great idea for new Harry Potter quiz, yet again. BUT, guillotine for Nearly Headless Nick? I know that these are hypothetical, but he does mention (at least a couple times) that "surely Sir Nicolas De Mimsy Porpington has never been accused of cowardliness." But, even if you dismiss that, Nick was never subjected to a guillotine. If he was, he wouldn't be nearly headless. He was "beheaded" with a blunt ax, struck like 40 some odd times with it.

	@AK_WDB: I put her boggart as a dog because she transforms into a cat. It's supposed to be joke, in a way. As for Pottermore, not everyone can go on it yet, so I can't put the person who she would see dead. @Quarks: Good thinking. I will add Mrs. Norris. However, I believe Lavender was only attacked by Greyback in the movie. I could be wrong, though. @lucyinthesky9: The guillotine thing was another semi-joke. Clearly I'm not very funny. I will change it to an axe. @iceman1731: A rooster's call is fatal to a basilisk. @everyone: thanks for commenting and letting me know what to change!

	jazzhands:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 19:44 GMT	1 point
	i don't really see the point of having things that you say aren't necessarily the character's greatest fear...the whole point of a boggart is that it takes the shape of your GREATEST fear. also, why would nearly headless nick be afraid of an axe if he's already dead? it can't hurt him.

	TerraTheTerror:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT	2 points
	@jazzhands: because it's impossible for me, as the reader and not the writer, toknow the character's greatest fear. For example, I never would have thought Dean's biggest fear is a severed hand, but it is. So, I just used what could be considered a great fear and used that. Besides, if I chose everyone's greatest fear, then it would be the same thing over and over again: so-and-so's corpse. That would turn it into a quiz about who they love. And just because Nick's dead doesn't mean he's no longer afraid. The memory of an axe chopping away at his head would probably make him fear axes. Look at it this way: Horror movies aren't real, and they can't touch us, but they scare us anyways. Well, most of us.

	some of these could for more than one person. and i think a great fear of everyone (besides possibly the death eaters, and of course himself) would be VOLDY!.....i think the weasleys should count for the empty gringotts vault, because they already dont have a lot of money anyway (but your's makes more sense...)

	TerraTheTerror:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 21:24 GMT	2 points
	@teddylupin_snape: Don't worry! I'm accepting anyone I can think of that fits the boggart. For example, since I changed it to an axe, the Whomping Willow is also accepted for that answer. That's true, about Voldemort, and I did think of it, but there would be too many people to list. I was just going to put Tom Riddle for Ginny, but there's so many people who fear him! The reason I didn't put the Weasleys for the empty vault one is because I don't consider any of them to be materialistic. Even Percy doesn't care that much about money, just status. I think one of the reasons they're poor is because they don't center their lives around earning money (Although it worked out for Fred and George). Even Ron doesn't fear being poor. Also, their ault is already practically empty, so I think they're more used to the idea. Also, that's a general fear for all the Weasleys, but I wanted one that pointed at a specific person or two.

	I definitely tried Whomping Willow, so thanks for that! Could you accept Myrtle for the basilisk? She was the only person killed by it. Why is Lucius's boggart the empty vault? Bellatrix is the one that freaked out when she thought Harry had gotten into her vault, isn't she? Anyway, I tried Griphook for that one.

I'm glad you didn't make them all corpses, by the way. The books are quite clear that not everyone's "greatest fear" is a corpse of their loved ones (as indeed it should be - I don't think I would necessarily be scared by bodies, more like shocked and devastated, but not scared unless there was evidence they'd been murdered).

	AK_WDB:	Sep 30th, 2011 at 23:06 GMT	4 points
	@imclala: Myrtle doesn't know she was killed by the basilisk, and besides, she seems to prefer death over life in some ways. I think hers would be someone teasing her about her pimples.

	TerraTheTerror:	Oct 1st, 2011 at 00:06 GMT	2 points
	@AK_WDB: Thanks! And I agree with you about Myrtle. I considered putting 'getting teased because of his/her glasses', but decided not to. @imclacla: Goblins don't care about gold so much as power and rights, so Griphook probably wouldn't. And Bellatrix only freaked out because an important object belonging to Voldemort (a Horcrux, but she probably didn't know that) was being kept there. Besides, Bellatrix's boggart is already up there. She was in love and obsessed with old Voldy. I chose Lucius because he always seemed stuck up to me, always concerned about his status and his wealth. If all that gold disappeared? Gasp! What on Earth would that do to the Malfoy name? Although, his greatest fear is probably Voldemort, but as I said before, I'm not putting him as anyone's boggart.

	I think Hagrid's greatest fear would be Hogwarts being shut down. And I don't think Luna is really afraid of anything. Wouldn't Buckbeak be afraid of an axe? Sirius would probably be most afraid of being sent back to Azkaban. (I'm trying to clean up all these corpses for you. ;) ) And Fenrir Greyback was bending over Lavender in the book, but was driven away before he hurt her.

	imclala:	Oct 2nd, 2011 at 19:47 GMT	1 point
	@Terra, I wasn't implying Griphook would fear an empty vault because he cares about money. But he works at the bank; part of his job is to guard the bank. An empty vault could mean that someone broke in and stole everything (at least that's how the logic worked in my head), which rightly seems like it would be Griphook's fear. Maybe not, but that's how it worked in my head and it seems at least as appropriate as some of the other alternate answers you have.

	TerraTheTerror:	Oct 2nd, 2011 at 21:03 GMT	1 point
	@Chocolatl: At first, reading your comment, I felt insulted on Hagrid and Sirius's behalves. I was like, NO! Sirius loves Harry too much and whatnot. But, then I read the part about 'cleaning up the corpses' so it now makes much more sense. I will add Lavender and have a long, intense debate with myself over changing Sirius and Hagrid (although I feel like a lot of people would fear Hogwarts getting shut down). But, I won't add Buckbeak because he never actually faced the executioner. Perhaps if MacNair had gotten a chance to take a swing at him... I'm not sure what Buckbeak would be afraid of, to be honest. Thanks for the suggestions and help! :)

	TerraTheTerror:	Oct 2nd, 2011 at 21:07 GMT	1 point
	@imclacla: That makes much more sense. Yes, I suppose that would be a great fear. After all, he probably wouldn't have let Harry take everything from the Lestranges' vault. Alright, I'll add him and any other named goblin at Gringotts.

	rita skeeters boggart could be unemployment...cause youve seen how that turns out in ootp....

	TerraTheTerror:	Oct 8th, 2011 at 02:53 GMT	1 point
	@teddylupin_snape: true, but I think I'm going to keep it as it is. After all, Hermione's the reason she was unemployed.

	lucyzoe:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 19:03 GMT	-2 points
	The Bloody Baron wasn't afraid of Peeves, it was the other way around. Fred/George's fear would be losing their twin. Bill probably wasn't afraid of Greyback, that would more likely be Lavender's fear. Lucius' fear would be losing his power/high rank, or disappointing Voldemort.

	TerraTheTerror:	Oct 9th, 2011 at 19:13 GMT	2 points
	@lucyzoe: The quiz doesn't say that the Bloody Baron was afraid of Peeves. It says that Peeves' boggart is the Bloody Baron. For Lucius, I've discussed it with multiple people, and I'm keeping it as it is. Bill was attacked by Greyback, so it would be his boggart, but Lavender is accepted too. Not everybody's greatest fear is losing their loved ones. Ron's isn't Hermione's dead body. And I don't think that, while Fred was still alive, they even considered the possibility of the one living without the other. Death never seemed to scare them, but, as shown in The Order of the Phoenix, a furious Mrs. Weasley terrifies them.
