I just find myself becoming more aware of what my own fears are. xp I mean, I'd be afraid of them anyways, but now I know and if I get zapped into Hogwarts and have to fight off boggarts, I'd have a better idea of what it might turn into. I've always wondered what my boggart would turn into... I've considered a giant cockroach, but more likely it'd be someone I know with a lobotomy. *shudders* All those Harry Potter kids have it easy, being afraid of failing a test or giant spiders...

Exactly, but those books and movies wouldn't be exactly children-safe if the boggarts turned into something they actually should be afraid of...
If I saw people try to fight off Boggarts in real life, I'd probably be terrified of their fears as well.

Yeah... I mean, what if you're afraid of horrible disease? Would it turn into a copy of you afflicted with the disease, or would it turn into the disease itself? 'Cos, I mean, if it turned into a proper dementor... Creepy. Maybe boggarts can only turn into solid and shallow fears, like giant insects and clowns and whatnot? Bah, boggarts are confusing.
I wonder if they read lists of phobias and practice turning into different things in their spare time. xd

Well nobody truly knows what a Boggart's true form is, so it is possible... surprised
Hmm, would a crazed serial killer with one arm and an eyepatch count as a solid and shallow fear? I'm surprised that no body at Hogwarts was afraid of that!

I don't know how the boggart would turn into my worst fear. It's not concrete at all.
Would it just be me by myself?
I heard stories on TV about when anesthesia didn't work. I'd rather have synesthesia if I'm not getting an operation.

Yeah, synesthesia would be a lot more fun. Then I could color-code my calendar! And be like Mr. Fog and have not only different shoes for each day of the year but different attitudes as well. 4laugh

Though it's the stupid kind, where I see personalities in digits. No colors for me, baby. Just the sense that 5 is a fat little boy in a red shirt dribbling from the corners of his mouth, and that eight is yellow and reminds me of Yoko Ono Lennon. And stuff.
