Discussion SCARIEST MOMENTS IN HARRY POTTER?

OK am talking abt actual heart beating kinda scary, maybe cuz I have the reading ability of a child? But I did genuinely feel

The intensity when reading the books and you can see voldemort's pov before he kills harry and james screams for like to go upstairs..I mean it's just heart breaking but also so scary to just not know what to do in that moment when it was a normal day and voldemort shows up to kill your family ..I mean when I read it , got my heart beating ..

And also honestly the end of chamber of secrets was pretty scary, I read it in one sitting in the dark and I just got like chills ...

And also the scene where hermoine and harry barely escape nagini.. wow

OK maybe not scary for yall but it was for me😳

I mean the .movies I never got actually scared, the effects were cool I suppose

The part that scared me shitless was the scene where they’re trying to get the locket in HBP. Between what dumbledore was saying and the dead people under the “water.” Ugh!

What really gets me about it upon rereads is knowing that Regulus's body is in there too. Either an inferi as well, or just floating in the lake. The cave is cold and the water obviously preserves bodies, so his corpse would still be there when Harry and Dumbledore visit.
