Harry Potter Week: Defense against the Dark Arts

[Cross]

 

It's time to face your fears and find your RIDDIKULUS! That's right, it's time to banish some boggarts. This is a game that anyone can play and join in - at any time. Think of 'This beats That' - with a comedic twist and you won't be far wrong. Each player will banish the previous boggart and then create a new boggart for the next player to deal with. Don't forget to use the Riddikulus charms and your bestest wand!
 
***
 
You enter the classroom to find a new teacher and a mostly empty room. The only item of furniture is a large wardrobe.
 
Hello! I'm Cross and due to an unexpected turn of events, I'm your new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. In this class we'll be learning how to banish boggarts. It's quite simple, you just have to be confident and change the boggart using magic and will power. We'll be using the Riddikulous charm to do this. Let me demonstrate.
 
I just need to unlock the wardrobe ...
 
Alohomora!
 
*waves wand*
 
Out of the wardrobe springs a giant hound! It's teeth look super sharp and it's not happy at all. 
 
Riddikulus!
 
The hound becomes a cute puppy. It looks up and tips its head adorably.
 
 
Got it? OK, Let's get the next student up here.
 
As the next student approaches, the puppy changes into a giant troll, it's holding a large club which it raises menacingly. Growling, the club begins its downstroke ...

 

 

---
 
So the next player will start by using the Riddikulus charm on the previous posters' scary Boggart (in this case the troll) and transform it into something harmless. Don't forget to then create a new scary boggart for the next student. Feel free to illustrate your ideas, but please use spoiler tags for large images and post warnings for flashing images.
 
 
GO!
 
Have fun!

RIDDIKULUS!!

but after a while I noticed it transformed again into...

 

 

 

Oh no. It's a Basilisk

 

 

[Niniel]

Oh, not a snake! 

 

 

Riddiculus!

 

 

 

 

That´s not scary. :)

 

 

 

But now it transforms. What is it?

 

 

The boggart has turned into a giant spider. 

[Sooh]

The spider has turned into:

Singing spiderman

 

But watch out! It's transforming again! It has transformed into a 

 

 

Scary clown!

[Cross]

(btw awards may or may not be given at the end for funniest switch ups, and these are great!) 

 

You're all doing well so far but who's stepping up to Un-Pennywise this thing?

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oh noes! It's impossible to find a non scary clown! I'm gonna have to use some extremely strong magic.
 
Riddikulus!!!!!!

 

 

Ha! Puppies always work.

 

Oops it's already changing ... into a Velociraptor!

 

 

 

Clever girl Boggart.

[Lessa Nikia]

Well that works *steps aside as the boggart turns into a scorpion*

[Cross]

*gives the scorpion a bit of a boost*

*Turns the Boggart into a scary fish*

 

[LedZepMan]

Ha, I so wanted to put a pic of Jeremy Wade for the fish. (The River Monsters guy). That guy could catch a shark out of a volcano.

[Gentled Ben]

The fish changes into...

*steps out of line*

[Ithillian Turambar]

Troll!!

[Turin Turambar]

You are very good at puppies. they have both been very cute. 

 

Quick get me two tons of milk chocolate and bake me up a 100 foot square graham cracker. Nevermind...

 

RIDDIKULUS!!!

 

 

 

The world's biggest S'more

 

 

 

It didn't stay that way for long however... Soon it turned into 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good thing I wore my brown pants  

[Cross]

well turin just upped the stakes.

 

k class time to take it up a notch! put this alien down!

[Ithillian Turambar]

I'm still laughing at spiderman tbh :lol:

[Songstress]

That... thing.... is staring at me  Is its saliva dangerous?  I'm afraid I may get paralyzed if it drools on me.

 

Steeling myself against panic, I raise my wand and focus on conquering the alien.

 

RIDDIKULUS!

 

 

And with a POOF!, the slavering beast is replaced with a different sort of alien.

 

 

 

With a flourish, I tuck my wand back into my robes and turn with a confident nod.

 

 

Unfortunately, as I return to my seat, the temperature in the room plummets dramatically, and a piercing cry like the cracking of ice rings out from my back.

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oh my goodness. Winter is coming!

 

RIDDIKULUS!

 

 

 

Do you wanna build a snowman?

 

But the Boggart changes again!

 

 

It's Jaws! It'll come up through the toilet!

[Cross]

[LedZepMan]

Why the fish when I can't pull a Jeremy Wade to catch it and pull it out of its environment?

[Daruya]

Oh, heavens! What a terrifying fish!

 

RIDDIKULUS!

 

The shark turns into a bristlenose peco.

 

But not for long . . . suddenly, it turns into . . . 

 

A Hungarian Horntail

 

[Cross]

[E James Todd]

Wow.  That seems pretty intimidating...

 

RIDDIKULUS!!

 

 

 

 

I like that one much better.

 

Except now it turns into....

 

 

 

[Cross]

[Daruya]

That looks like something Voldemort would wear!

 

RIDDIKULUS!

 

The Boggart suddenly turns into  . . .
