Who CREATED Boggarts? Their TRUE Form Re...

Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Boggarts, as we understand them, are essentially the manifestation of our deepest darkest fears. Amortal shape-shifting non-beings that transform themselves in to whatever it is that we fear most. 


No one knows what their true form looks like (except maybe Mad-Eye Moody), no one knows where they come from, and no one knows..WHY they exist.


So today, we're going to be busting these questions wide open: exploring WHAT they are, WHERE they come from, and why they're one of the most terrifying creatures in all of Harry Potter lore.
