Diptanjan Sarma Purkayastha (goodreadscomnightwalker) | 35 comments Which particular chapter or scene from the HP series scared you the most? I was terrified by the Inferi in book 6.

Understandable. Certainly one of the scariest and uneasy chapters of the series. Happens right after Harry's first kiss, too, if I remember correctly.

The grave yard where Voldermort kills Cedric Diggory.

This particular scene was quite well portrayed in the movie too.

Yeah,that scene was the one that schocked me the more in the series, I think.
Apart from Fred's death in the seventh book, but that one was sad instead of scary.

Lauren (literarywisdom) | 20 comments In the film of the half blood prince when the hand shoots out of the water. And in deathly hallows when nagini come lurching through the hole

Rima Wijaya (goodreadscomrimajuwita) | 37 comments when Harry had a date with Cho Chang in Hogsmead! that would be the scariest scene I've ever read!

Alexis | Booklover101 ♡ I think the scariest scene in Harry Potter, for me, was the scene in Malfoy Manor. It really creeped me out, especially Fenir Greyback

Nidhi Bhatt | 43 comments For me it was the cemetery scene in HP&GoF when Cedric Diggory dies and Lord Voldemort rises.

purplebookworm (puplebookworm) When I read the third book I kept stopping it because I was afraid of Sirius.

bobagirl927 | 3 comments This wasn’t in the book but, in deathly hollows when Harry is about to get on the train and he sees Voldemort

Ananya ⋆⭒˚。⋆ | 11 comments There was a scene in the 2nd book when Basilisk was called by Riddle...that was scary..
And another I'll say from the Azkaban movie, when Harry and Hermione were hiding from the werewolf, and he suddenly came in front of them.

Alty | 1 comments For me the scariest scene by far was when the snake crawled out of Bathilda Bagshot and started attacking Harry the entire build up to it was just creepy

Luffy Sempai (luffy79) | 54 comments The scariest HBP and DH scenes have been losing their impact on me.

Apart from these, I think in GOF, when Wormtail takes Harry's blood.


message 22: by Anha✨ (new)

Anha✨ | 14 comments 1.For me it is the scene from the prisoner of azkaban where hundreds of dementors surround Harry and Sirius.
2. Apart from that that's not really scary but in the chamber of secrets, when harry and Ron took the flying car and got stuck in the tree.
3. When in the deathly hallows, the snake came out of Bathilsa Bagshot and destroyed the building and almost Harry too.

Wendy Dimande | 1 comments On the first book, when Harry is in the Forbidden Forrest, and he sees a cloaked figure (that we later know is Quirrel)eating the blood of unicorn. I think I picture are really scary scene on my mind but that chapter freaked me out.


message 24: by Rafi (new)

Rafi | 1 comments In my opinion, the most scary scene for me was in the chamber of secrets when Harry hears whispering from the walls from the basilisk. The basilisk says "rip...tear...kill" and "I smell blood...I SMELL BLOOD". This is especially scary in the movie as only harry hears it.

Hannah Goaslind | 20 comments Harry going on a date with Cho Chang was scary and I thought Harry was done for. Cho was so angry and Harry didn’t know what to do
