I asked this over on HogwartsAdultSchool, and Penny asked me to raise the
topic here as well, so here's the message:

In Prisoner of Azkaban, the boggart turns into whatever each student fears
most.  In all cases, it was either a person or a creature, or an object
representing the fear (such as in Prof. Lupin's 'crystal ball' moon).  I
spent a bit of time trying to imagine what my boggart would look like when
it came out of the box.  I can't think of any person or creature (real or
imaginary) that I'm truly terrified of.  What if you're afraid of something
without physical form?  Suppose that Fear of Poverty was your biggest
concern.  Would the boggart simply turn into an image of yourself starving
in rags?  Would that actually strike FEAR into your heart at the sight, or
would you rush forward in pity to help yourself?  Weird.  I never could come
up with a satisfactory image that would succeed in frightening me, as the
boggart would mean to do.

What would YOUR boggart look like?
