How Does The Bogggart Appear In Harry Potter
The first Harry Potter book was released way back in 1997. It was written by J. K. Rowling and it lead to the series becoming a cult classic. The series is most known for having a ton of characters, lots of mythical creatures and a deep plot. One of the biggest mythical creatures in the story is the Boggart.

The first one that comes to my mind is when Lupin is teaching defense against the dark arts to the class. Neville sees Professor Snape and defeats it by picturing it in his grandmother’s clothes. Another one that comes to my mind is the instance with Mrs. Weasley. It is in the fifth book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Mrs. Weasley encounters it in a desk at the HQ of the Order. Mrs. Weasley sees the corpses of her family and Harry. This shows that she loves nothing more than her family and Harry and her biggest fear is losing them. Mrs. Weasley was crying so hard she couldn’t defeat it and Remus Lupin had to come in and go get rid of it. One last one that comes to mind is Harry seeing the Dementor. Harry was able to defeat it by not letting his fear get to him and quickly getting rid of it. I believe J.K. Rowling put this in here to show you need to overcome your fears to grow. All three of these moments were a turning point for characters in the story. In Harry’s and Neville’s case it helped them get over their fears. In Mrs. Weasley’s case it helped her know that she needed to become stronger and not be afraid of her dead loved
