At this point, you already know your Hogwarts house and probably own a scarf or two just in case you have the chance to go to a Quidditch game. You know what materials your wand is made of. You probably even know your Patronus. But have you ever wondered what form a Boggart would take if you faced one? Remember, Boggarts are different for everyone, and it's best to be prepared for what you might face just in case you ever need to cast a "riddikulus" spell. Venture through this quiz and find out exactly what you'll be up against, should you ever need to defend yourself against this most terrifying enemy — second only to You-Know-Who.
Quiz Writer
Joselyn wasn’t too keen on multiple choice in high school. She vividly remembers the first biology exam she passed by only the skin of her teeth, which dragged her overall average down into the embarrassingly low 90s (she doesn’t want to talk about it). After swearing off any high school or university courses that required multiple choice tests, Joselyn managed to get an English degree by sweet-talking her professors into offering only essay-style exams. Needless to say, this did not exactly endear her to her peers. This rocky start smoothed out in time, though, and after tumbling down a black quiz hole one day while putting off job hunting, Joselyn realized her hatred of all things a-b-or-c had faded and she actually enjoyed dreaming up new ideas for questions and dangerously correct-sounding answers. You won’t find her quizzes an easy ride, but Joselyn just wants to make sure you’re really testing your knowledge.

Where does the "Boggart" come from?
As it turns out, JK Rowling didn't invent the Boggart. Boggarts have a long history in English Folklore. Instead of changing forms to match an individual's fear, the English mythological creature attaches itself to a particular family and causes general mischief. It doesn't matter where the family moves — the Boggart will follow. In English myth, naming the Boggart will make it more destructive, impossible to reason with, and a more permanent member of the family. Because Boggarts are a long-standing part of English mythology, the name has had several spellings throughout history, and some regional boggarts have names of their own, and "Boggart" is included in several place-names including Boggart Hole Clough, Boggart Bridge in Burnley, Lancashire, and Boggart Hill council estate in West Yorkshire. Putting out salt in the doorway or hanging a horseshoe above the door will keep boggarts away.
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
