Boggart

A boggart is a fictional creature from British folklore and popular culture, notably featured in Harry Potter. It is a shape-shifting entity that takes the form of a person's greatest fear or worry, reflecting their subconscious anxieties. When confronted, a boggart reveals whatever frightens the individual most, often in a frightening or humorous way. The idea behind boggarts is to illustrate the power of fear and how facing it can diminish its hold. In stories like Harry Potter, learning to recognize and confront a boggart is a way to overcome fears and build courage.
