Harry Potter Horcruxes Ranked By Difficulty Of Obtaining Them

Harry Potter Horcruxes Ranked By Difficulty Of Obtaining Them If the Horcruxes were easy to obtain, the seventh film would have been a lot shorter. It's time to rank the Horcruxes by how hard they were to get. As if defeating Lord Voldemort was already hard enough, Harry Potter was left reeling in the Half Blood Prince when he was informed that He Who Must Not Be Named had taken measures to ensure he was, pretty much, immortal. The Dark Lord had, years previously, chosen to create Horcruxes - tiny bits of your soul that are stored inside an object to ensure your survival. Harry then spends the best part of 18 months tracking down the items, getting rid of them one by one before besting Voldemort himself during an epic final showdown at the battle of Hogwarts. We now rank each Horcrux by how difficult it was to obtain and destroy - starting with the easiest to the hardest. 7 Harry Himself Obviously, finding out you’re a Horcrux is a pretty difficult thing to comprehend. And poor Har...

Harry Potter Every Boggart Change (What The Characters Are Scared Of)

Harry Potter Every Boggart Change (What The Characters Are Scared Of)

Boggarts were shapeshifters from Harry Potter that took the form of a victim's fear. Here's what form the Boggarts took with various characters.

Harry Potter Every Boggart Change (What The Characters Are Scared Of)

Boggarts had a prominent place within the mythology of the Harry Potter series when it came to the connection between magic and fear. The amortal non-being was first introduced in the books by J.K. Rowling before it made its way to the live-action film adaptations. Here's a breakdown of a Boggart and what form it took for certain characters.

In the Harry Potter world, a Boggart was a shapeshifter that took the form of the victim's worst fear. In British mythology, Boggarts were described as house-elves or malevolent spirits. Elsewhere, Boggarts more closely matched something like a boogeyman in popular culture. The non-beings in Harry Potter were known to hide in dark enclosed places.

Since Boggarts focused on a person's worst fear, defending against them was a priority for Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The Riddikulus charm was the primary spell used to fight off a Boggart. The spell would transform the fear into something weak and comical. It was also taught to gather multiple people to approach a Boggart so the shapeshifter wouldn't know who to target. A handful of characters had their Boggarts on display in the Harry Potter books and movies.

During his third year at Hogwarts, Harry and his classmates were taught how to defend against Boggarts. Professor Remus Lupin, in charge of Defense Against the Dark Arts at the time, worried that Harry's fear would take the shape of Lord Voldemort. In actuality, Harry's Boggart was a Dementor, meaning he feared fear itself. When Harry encountered the Boggart in the Triwizard Tournament a year later, he used a Patronus Charm against the shapeshifter.

Hermione Granger

Hermione's Boggart wasn't included in the film series but it was revealed during the book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Her version of the Boggart was Professor McGonagall telling her that she was a failure. The Riddikulus spell used to banish the Boggart was unclear.

Ron Weasley

Ron's Boggart was featured in the books as well as the movies. The Boggart took the form of a giant spider. In the book, Ron used the Riddikulus spell to take away the spider's legs. The movie took a more amusing approach as the defense spell gave the spider roller skates and it slid all over the classroom floor.

The Boggarts Of Fellow Hogwarts Students

Neville Longbottom: The Boggart was Severus Snape and the defense spell put the figure in Neville's grandmother's clothes.

Dean Thomas: In the books, Dean's Boggart was a disembodies living hand that was stopped after he trapped it in a mousetrap.

Parvati Patil: Parvati's Boggart was a mummy in the books that tipped over its own bandages, but it was omitted from the movies.

Padma Patil: The movies featured a giant cobra as Padma's Boggart and she used the Riddikulus spell to turn it into a jack-in-the-box.

Seamus Finnigan: Seamus' Boggwart was a banshee in the books and he used the defense spell so it would lose its voice.

The Boggarts Of Other Harry Potter Characters

Albus Dumbledore: Albus' Boggart, a corpse of his sister Arianna, was revealed by Rowling, but the Riddikulus was unknown.

Molly Weasley: In the book series, a Boggart appeared at 12 Grimmauld Place and in Molly's eyes, it turned into the dead bodies of her family and friends.

Remus Lupin: Seeing as Remus was a werewolf, his Boggart turned into a full moon and he used the Riddikulus charm to turn it into a deflating balloon.

Tom Riddle: According to Rowling, Tom's Boggart was his own dead body.

Newt Scamander: In the Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Newt's Boggart was revealed as a desk job, and Dumbledore taught him the Riddikulus spell to transform it into a mechanical dragon.

5 Reasons Why Prisoner Of Azkaban Is The Worst Harry Potter Movie (& 5 Reasons Why The Book Is The Best Book)

5 Reasons Why Prisoner Of Azkaban Is The Worst Harry Potter Movie (& 5 Reasons Why The Book Is The Best Book) While each of the seven books and eight movies based on Harry Potter are terrific, it's time to point out some of Prisoner of Azkaban's shortcomings. It's almost a universal consensus that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best story by J.K. Rowling. It brings in more new characters than its predecessors and drastically shifts in tone to start Harry's descent into the dark corners of the wizarding world. It highlights even more magic than we thought possible while bringing the backstories of the central characters into better light. That being said, there is a major difference between the movie version and its source material. The book is without a doubt one of the series most masterful works. However, despite its good moments, the movie somehow manages to be one of the worst HP film adaptations. Some people might not agree, but, for those who ...
