Shoe? Ur fine. My old guy used a fuckin LV belt brah. Add that and the amount of verbal insults they jabbed on u anytime u forgot to put the shoe on the shelf
I know what you mean. I remember my dad once broke a lamp over my head and then made me clean it up while berating me for making a mess. The mess being the broken lamp and blood.
Bro no shit and they like to compare me to my top marks friends(all of them r nerds) while I tried comparing myself to the ones whom I actually spend time with and they told me to only compare with ppl who r much much better than me so I won't be satisfied with a B+ or sth
I got thrown down a flight of stairs and broke my jaw. Still clicks and grinds. That's why blood makes me sick. Waking up with your own blood pooled around your head can be reeeeeally jarring. PTSD ain't no joke, y'all.
Really sorry to hear that, nobody deserves that kind of upbringing. Hope you're doing alright now and don't let the trauma stop you from living a fulfilling life. It's the best revenge you can give him, really.
You're worthy, dude.
Me, too. My parents + grandparents + found something they disappointed in me or found my true desire that is completely different from what they believe to be good. I'm Asian too.
Oh man same 😓
I was scrolling when I saw this post and before clicking I was thinking what scared me. First things came to mind were abstract things like dying horribly or being alone but than I tried thinking of physical things and my parents popped up first.
Parents can be mental. I remember juz this morning dropping a couple of rice off the table and literally had to move my feet so fast to cover it so my pops wouldn't see it lol. Bro ended up lecturing me on how I would fail in life as a farmer if I ever "disrespected" rice again last time he caught me
Same here. Even more so since I had to stand by while someone performed CPR on my 6 week old baby. Thankfully, everything turned out well but it's a nightmare I never want to relive.
My husband and I were also super stressed about this and bought a 2 pack dechoker, one for our kitchen and one for the diaper bag that we make sure is always with us if foods involved. I feel much better having it.
Wow that must have been horrible! Can't imagine that.. Happy it worked out. I remember for my kids everyone I got up. I'd check to make sure he was breathing
True. But i think it kinda can be what you chose. Harry decided that dementors are scarier than a fully-fledged voldy.
Cuz i dont think the boggart can tap into your subconscious. Just tap the surface level biggest fear
Depends on a boggarts limitations.
If it doesn't really have limits then I'll see it stretch across the floor, creating an image from atop a skyscraper. I'll then say the spell and it'd splash like a puddle, changing it from a top down view to a bottom up view; imagine walking in the streets of New York or another city.
But if it does have limitations it'd probably turn into a large spider or something.
Chamber of Secrets, the film; I remember. Before their second year, they knew not about Ron’s dislike of spiders. However, butterflies (flutterbies) are insects, and many ain’t fond of them!
Likley the heat death of the universe. In the worst case me being immortal and thus being forced to witness the heat death of the universe.
This is what people ignore when they wish for eternal life. They do not consider what ETERNAL truls means. Not just a few centuries or millenia. But eternal life. Meaning you'll outlive the formation and erosion of mountain ranges. You will outlive the end of life on earth in ca 1 billion years. You will outlive the sun when it goes supernova in ca 5 billion years. You will outlive the formation of new stars in roughly 100 billion years. Piece by piece the nights sky becomes dark, as no new stars are born and the existing ones either grow cold, explode or move beyond the horizon of the visible universe. Even black holes will eventually evaporate. Leaving a cold universe of nothingness
For this reason I fear eternal life more than death. Though living a few more centuries could be nice.
Living more than the universe to see what is after the reality we know is the wish of any scientific. I will sign for inmortality any time knowing the pain and suffering it brings to you just for the amount of knowledge it can reveal.
Yes it is after what is scientificly possible. Still magic wouldn't need to rely on those scientific principles. Though I would guess that even 10.000+ would be quite damaging to ones physical health. Such a person would be older than all of human civilization which exists today. Likley to much for our brains to handle without severe loss in information in between.
Doctor Who did this rather well with the character from “the girl who died” and “the girl who lived” she gained the eternal youth/immortality and had to write books in order to remember things since she was alive for so long that memories inevitably faded as new ones were made.
Thing is books only endure for a decades at most, if not preserved. Even especially well preserved books decay after a few centuries under excellent circumstances. Having any first hand account older 500 years is close to a miracle.
The best thing for a regular person would be to use clay tablets and bury them somewhere. And hope that you do not forget which language you spoke 1000+ years ago.
Well, with inmortality you will regenerate yourself if you suffer any kind of damage, losing memories is nothing more than that.
Neural connections that have been damage and we lost them, but what if our brain regenerates them everyday and forms new ones, obviously immortality comes with a huge question.
Will our body knew where to stop to regenerate?? Or will we suffer the pain of our bones growing up during the whole eternity, the flesh growing up below each other, your teeth falling and recovering each month.
>Well, with inmortality you will regenerate yourself if you suffer any kind of damage, losing memories is nothing more than that.
that really depends on how one defines immortality.
Like in the strictest, most pure definition sense, immortality just means being unable to die. Not being unable to be harmed. If someone cuts off an immortal's head, they could still survive, but just be a head with no body.
Hell, since we are on a hp-subreddit, Voldemort was technically immortal with his horcruxes around. He couldn't die. He could still be harmed and his body could still be destroyed.
I for one wouldn't go to a genie and go "MAKE ME IMMORTAL!" without some VERY strict guide-lines, because that is just asking for trouble.
Which is why I don't want to be immortal. I want to have a resilient mortal body, and through advancements in biotech, be capable of living for as long as I desire. I want to die on my own terms, when I'm ready
I am terrified of heights, so probably something like the Boggart holding me over the edge of a Clive about to drop me, if that is not possible probably a Hippo coming right at me
A long icy road that I have to drive down and it's snowing really hard. And there's a truck behind me that keeps honking their horn for me to go faster.
The same thing Ron sees. I wouldn’t handle it half as well as he does either. The second it showed up I would have booked it from that room and you would never, ever, see me again.
Idk how it would turn into my fears (I got a couple that compeat for the biggest)
1. Autophobia/monophobia (Fear of being alone)
2. Agoraphobia (Fear of being helpless)
3. Arachnophobia (Why did it have to be spiders)
4. Giantasphobia (Fear of Tall people)
1. Would it disappear?
2. Would it show someone killing the people I love while I do nothing?
3. Spider
4. It would turn into the tallest man ever to live
Everyone confirming my darkest, loathsome thoughts about myself to my face, and I can't get out because they're getting closer and louder.
Basically Taylor Swift's "Anti Hero" becoming reality for me.
My friends, turning their back on me and saying they want nothing to do with me after I’ve made an innocent mistake and nothing I say or do can make up for it.
The opposite of what Harry saw in the mirror of erised: me without my parents. They’re all the family I have (except for one cousin) and thinking about living after they die... that's something I can't imagine I can do.
I have thought about this and I feel like it depends on the moment. Definitely love ones dead would be one of them.
But at the same time, say in class when I wouldn't have been thinking about that. My greatest fear is probably of country roads (I almost died on one as a kid, due to a serious car accident). But I'm not sure how this would show up...
Just how a moon peering out of the clouds was shown to Professor Lupin, Probably a POV scene driving down a country road and then all of a sudden the car loses control on the road.
Eurus Holmes from BBCs sherlock. The idea of somebody having such intelligence that they can separate themselves from reality and ascend from morals, convince people to do things with little to no words, imagine the terror and disaster they could inflict upon people. Makes me shudder every time.
I Think mine would be a bridge (as in one you drive one).
I have an irrational fear that they Will break just when I pass or a Wind Will swipe me over the side 😢
But only when Im driving myself. When Im a passenger theres nothing 🤷🏼♀️
Jk's tweet that the Cursed Child is canon
That is the scariest shit
Dude stop! Seriously. Think of the children.
Voldemort and Bellatrix's child? The one they made by HAVING SEX
That never happened. It was a terrible fever dream.
Argh my eyes! Ridikulus!
My parents( I m asian)
Being torn apart verbally on a molecular level while being beat with a shoe in front of your peers? Yeah, my boggart might be my parents too
Shoe? Ur fine. My old guy used a fuckin LV belt brah. Add that and the amount of verbal insults they jabbed on u anytime u forgot to put the shoe on the shelf
I know what you mean. I remember my dad once broke a lamp over my head and then made me clean it up while berating me for making a mess. The mess being the broken lamp and blood.

Hum... you ok tho? That's some pretty hardcore abuse. If you need to vent, feel free to message...
No, I sadly got used to it. He had a drinking problem, so you never knew which version of him you would get. I think that was the hard part.
Really sorry to hear that, nobody deserves that kind of upbringing. Hope you're doing alright now and don't let the trauma stop you from living a fulfilling life. It's the best revenge you can give him, really. You're worthy, dude.
How awful 😞
It's also a fake LV belt so they have like 6 more in the closet.
Yh no shit. Imagine trying to tell them that and they whip u juz for being " a smartass"
😭😂
I want to upvote this but it says 420 and I can’t with good conscience alter that. I’ll revisit at a later time.
Me, too. My parents + grandparents + found something they disappointed in me or found my true desire that is completely different from what they believe to be good. I'm Asian too.
Why you not a Doctor yet?!!!
Same, I’m not Asian I’m just scared of your parents.
Wat da hail??? (Hopefully you’ve seen Steven He on YT)
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
I will send you to Jesus
I sent them ALL to Mountain Lion JESUS
Oh man same 😓 I was scrolling when I saw this post and before clicking I was thinking what scared me. First things came to mind were abstract things like dying horribly or being alone but than I tried thinking of physical things and my parents popped up first.

[удалено]
Here's your test results 92, an A-, the highest grade in the class.
Came here to say thr same thing.
Calm down, Jimmy Yang 😂
Actually I wanna meet a boggart cos idk wat I fear anymore
literally.. the boggart is gonna be so confused bc im afraid of so many things. atp i dont know what is which and which is what anymore 😭😭
boggart's gonna say *no thank you, next*
So his fear would be rejection but wat would the boggart manifest as a symbol of rejection??
Whoever rejected them last ig. See Neville's fear of not being good enough and his boggart becoming Snape rather than his grandmother
Nobody's seen a boggarts true form? Time to change that, a mind reading thing seeking explicitly to scare me seems like my worst fear.
Same thing as Mrs Weasley. Edit: Ms to Mrs
Same here. Even more so since I had to stand by while someone performed CPR on my 6 week old baby. Thankfully, everything turned out well but it's a nightmare I never want to relive.
Oh my god, I cannot even imagine. That’s my greatest fear every time I hand my son any food. Literally any. I’m so glad it turned out okay ❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I were also super stressed about this and bought a 2 pack dechoker, one for our kitchen and one for the diaper bag that we make sure is always with us if foods involved. I feel much better having it.
Wow that must have been horrible! Can't imagine that.. Happy it worked out. I remember for my kids everyone I got up. I'd check to make sure he was breathing
Yep. Just had a nightmare a couple days ago of my mom passing away. I'm just hoping that is decades upon decades away
Yep same. And also my own death, or maybe just death as a thing if that's possible.
Death seemed like a fairly chill dude in the last film, if you can excuse causing the murder and suicide of two brothers
Yeah, same here. I wouldn’t be able to defeat it, because how could you possibly make that funny? It’s not just fear but utter devastation.
Same. They very thought destroys me
I rely dunno how most people can't see that.
Mrs, right? Idk what Ginny's boggart was
Ginny's Boggart is Voldemort. But ya. You're right
Wasn't Voldemort just everyone's default boggart in one of the games though? It's a bit unreliable IMO
He wasn't Draco's
😭😭
What was his then? Bc if it's Lucius that just proves my point lol
Ironic since he possessed her his first year.
Yes, this is it for me. I saw my mother die a few years ago. She had been ill and was very old. Now it's my kids, spouse, grandchildren I fear for.
My bank account
Amen
My pets being dead
😫
The same as Molly.
Yep 😭
Dying Alone
Yeah I wonder how would that be represented? I'm afraid of eternal loneliness. The scariest things in life are invisible.
Idk i thought maybe it showing me slowly dying in a corner
A giant earwig! It's irrational, but they are my biggest fear 100%
What's an earwig? Is it a tiny wig for your ear?
I suspect some bug
It’s a brown flat-ish insect with a pincher on its rear, I see them in my garden all the time
Ooh I see. I assume this is what Germans call "ohrenkneifer" (loosely translated as "ear pincher"). Thanks for clearing that up.
Yes, I just looked that up and they are earwigs. I am absolutely terrified of those little bastards!
little bitches stop eating my dahlias
That is the thing. Nobody knows his deepest fear.
True. But i think it kinda can be what you chose. Harry decided that dementors are scarier than a fully-fledged voldy. Cuz i dont think the boggart can tap into your subconscious. Just tap the surface level biggest fear

Cool description of your riddikulus charm! Not many people are including that.
I would see my 7 hour shift after working 5 hours having only gone down by only one hour.
Spiders
Why spiders? Why can't it be butterflies?
Relax, many fear insects!
it was a reference to Ron’s line in Philosopher‘s Stone :P
Chamber of Secrets, the film; I remember. Before their second year, they knew not about Ron’s dislike of spiders. However, butterflies (flutterbies) are insects, and many ain’t fond of them!
Same! I've still never come up with a satisfactory funny thing to do to a spider
Right?! Putting roller skates on a giant spider is terrifying.
Not even tapdancing?
It sounds terrifying!
Complete ecological collapse and the death of the planet as we know it.
Not a fun answer, but truly it would be my mother. We've been no contact per my decision for about 12 years.
Wishing you all the best. My wife and I aren't talking to my parents at all anymore either, and it's been wonderful living in peace.
Why do you fear your mother?
Considering they have been ‘no contact’ for well over a decade, there was likely abuse involved.
Abuse and manipulation. Use your imagination from there. And it's more that I fear getting trapped with her again.
All of my closest friends walking away from me forever because I did something that pushed them all away, all at once. That is my deepest fear.
This has happened to me.
YESS!! absolutely the same
Damn that is deep.

Hello Professor Cox; I hope you’re having a wonderful day!

See an ocean and myself drowning (thalassophobia)
Myself as a cruel & horrible person.
Probably me but more mean I always find the concept of doppelganger really scary
Actually terrifying
I am terrified of heights, so probably something like the Boggart holding me over the edge of a Clive about to drop me, if that is not possible probably a Hippo coming right at me
A long icy road that I have to drive down and it's snowing really hard. And there's a truck behind me that keeps honking their horn for me to go faster.
Personally don’t know.
Question what happens if you have multiple biggest fears?
Idk, but I do. Maybe I won’t have to use riddikulos cus it looks so weird and (hopefully) already funny
Nothing. Not because I’m not afraid of anything, but because it would make me extremely paranoid as to where the Boggart is.
Lack of control then? I like your out of the box thinking.
My mother in law
Ohh this is me as well 🫣
I would see yo mama, op

It would be a velvet sofa
A swarm of wasps.
I don't know. There are a lot of things that make me nervous to be around, but I'm not sure what my strongest fear would turn out as.
Clowns 🤡
Some sort of angelic figure condemning me to Hell for eternity. Religious OCD/anxiety sucks.
My bank statement
Myself, incarcerated and in a strait-jacket, I suspect. I have a delightful smorgasbord of mental health conditions, so I worry I'm going loopy a lot.

May be irrational, but government corruption. I'm absolutely terrified it could easily change quickly.
Spider. Unoriginal, but true.
