Aracmantulas are SCARY!!!!


Posted by Witch_Lady May 12th 2009

None of those are too scary. Except maybe that Aracmantulas. Ew, spiders. :/


Posted by iluvhp121 May 12th 2009

uh....what are acromantulas...


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 12th 2009

GIANT SPIDERS!!! ARAGOG!!! AAARRRRGGGHH sorry but they creep me out!


Posted by KaileeA42 May 12th 2009

I went with the Basilisk, god I was so scared of that when I was a kid reading Chamber of Secrets and seeing the movie. Just the hissing about "Kill, Kill..' in the walls...*shivers*, lol. I hope they make like all of those choices in the park though!


Posted by rooon May 12th 2009

Cool! : ) I'll be sure to do it!


Posted by Travis May 12th 2009

Regular tiny spiders are scarier than acromantulas. I voted for dementor.


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 12th 2009

They're all pretty creepy. Except you can get rid of a dementor with a Patronus and the Whomping Willow is just funny, not scary.


Posted by phantomfluteplayer May 12th 2009

Ugh, Acromantula definitely. I hate spiders with a passion. I think Dementor would be a logical choice though. They would suck all happy thoughts from you can could suck your soul out. If I were a wizard, I would definitely be most scared of an Acromantula.


Posted by phoenixknighter May 12th 2009

i PUT DEMENTORS! acromantulas are WAYY TOO Lord of the Rings-ish. And a Basilisk, while scary.. is just a GIANT snake. All the others are typical mythical creatures.. But the Dementors are the ONLY creatures in the HP world that are Unique and solely created by JK Rowling!


Posted by phoenixknighter May 12th 2009

hey guys you know what be be MUCH WORSE THAN ALL OF THEM COMBINED??? Inferi!!!


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 12th 2009

Oh gosh Inferi... I am looking outside and it looks really dark and creepy and now I'm kinda freaked out... ooh dementor weather!


Posted by G_wizzle May 12th 2009

I picked the basilisk cuz I have a fear of snakes. I just don't like the way they slither and I don't think I'll be scared of a dementor though cuz sucking happiness out of me would be a very hard thing to do lol. Phoenixknighter- yeah inferi would scare the crap out of me.


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 12th 2009

yeah, i agree with phoenixknighter, why didn't they put inferi in the ch0ices? that should be creepy alth0ugh they look like L0TR's gollum in the m0vie.. but am0ng the ch0ices i'd pick out dement0rs.. c0z snakes and spiders can be seen in real life, s0..


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 12th 2009

Inferi is WAY creepier than the WHOMPING WILLOW... haha


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 12th 2009

or the hungarian h0rntail would also be nice.. lol.. pity i can't go in there when it opens.. i'm far away fr0m there, see.. T-T


Posted by Witch_Lady May 12th 2009

Ooh, yeah! Why didn't they put Inferi? Dead moving bodies is much creepier than spiders and dementors... Oh, and why is the Whomping Willow up there? I guess if there's some sort of tree phobia... :P


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 12th 2009

Oh crap, gotta run, a giant branch is about to knock me over! I don't know when I'll get to go there, I'm on the other side of the country but I WILL go there after it opens, I am indignant, I WILL!!!


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 12th 2009

it w0uld be fun if they'll put the wh0mping willow, but in the fun secti0n and n0t the creepy.. together with the flying car.. why can't they just put a BOGGART so it can terrify any0ne?! lol.. we'll need s0me magic here..


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 12th 2009

Lucky y0u,, Lyka_asya.. y0u're oN the other side of the C0UNTRY.. wHiLe i am oN the other sidE of the W0RLD.. T-T.. pitiful, isn't it? i've g0t n0 chance of g0ing in there except if s0me millions of m0ney c0mes my way and i persuade my family g0 in there.. which means.. IMPOSSIBLE.. *sobs


Posted by Lyra_Asya May 13th 2009

That's too bad :( Well who knows maybe there'll be a sweepstakes and you'll win! Then you have an excuse to go to Orlando! Well I hope you get to see it one way or another... And yeah, it would be hilarious if there was actually a whomping willow there...


Posted by peanutgang4 May 13th 2009

ah i think they would all scare the crap out of me, except the womping willow. and yes, inferi should be up there


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 13th 2009

well, it all depends on luck then.. i think i'll just g0t to check MN for news when it opens c0z really, there's n0 chance.. i wish i was there in y0ur c0untry..


Posted by Dobby_09 May 13th 2009

I voted Dementor! Aaaarrggghhhh!!!!! How come Inferi aren't there? They should be.


Posted by dizzyshar May 13th 2009

I think Inferi are not on the list cause we have only seen them so far in flashes on trailers, they may add it when HBP comes out. My vote is for the Dementor, an Dementor could take out the rest of them. Also would take a very strong minded person to cast an Dementor away, hard to think of a happy moment when they are sucking the happiness away at the same time.


Posted by phoenixmandc May 13th 2009

All right, I know this isn't the place to post this, but sorry MuggleNet, after several years of coming to this site regularly, I'm done. I'm tired of 3 popups coming up immediately, another one coming up when I click the page so I can scroll, who knows how many pop ups my browser blocks automatically, and now you have ads on the page that scroll up and block me from reading. This is ridiculous, how much money do you guys really need?


Posted by a_mandolin56 May 13th 2009

I think inferi wasn't on the list because though they want to include something scary from the books/films, I think that inferi would be a little too intense for younger children visiting the park. "What's that mommy?" "Oh, that's just a dead body reanimated by magic."


Posted by iwantorlando05 May 13th 2009

I voted for the BASILISK!! Anything that can kill you just by looking you in the eye is TERRIFYING! The Acromantula and the Dementors are a VERY CLOSE second though.


Posted by merrymarge May 13th 2009

Aren't inferi really zombies? I went for dementors because they seem the scariest.


Posted by phoenixknighter May 13th 2009

Yeah merrymarge, but the Inferi in the HBP movie look much like GOLLUM.. They were all like "MY PRECIOUSSSS!!" when Harry Touched the Locket, lol


Posted by tubaturtle May 13th 2009

I voted for dementors. But only because I didn't see Acromantulas were one of the choices!! But dementors are pretty scary.


Posted by Ravenxl7 May 13th 2009

I voted for Dementors, though I would have voted for Inferi if they were a choice. The Womping Willow is scary to a certain degree, but it's stuck to one spot. The Dragon, Acromantula, and Basilisk are scary too, but there not as creepy as Dementors are.


Posted by krazykobra29 May 13th 2009

what are they planning on doing with this poll info? lol im kinda creeped out now...if i choose dementor it would turn into an acromantula anyway. so i picked acromantula. UGH those things are gross!! ahhhh


Posted by tduboff May 13th 2009

i was really upset that dementors were winning the poll. though dementors are very scary in the books, this poll is so they can get a feel for what people want ONE THE RIDES. now honestly, would seeing some animatronic of a cloaked figure with some fog really scare you? i'm sure a giant animatronic spider, or snake, or dragon, or even flying tree branches would make you duck and scream and get more scared. we need to think outside of the context of the books for once


Posted by phoenixknighter May 13th 2009

i don't know about youtduboff ,, but having a Dementor sneak out of some fog and strangle you up against a wall with their GNARLY and nasty fingers, sounds kinda scary.


Posted by waterbug May 13th 2009

That is hard they are all kind of freaky but I think that the scariest would have to be dementors just becaus of what they can do if you go by looks the snake would scare me a WHOLE lot more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by yRrAh_eLixir May 13th 2009

just a c0rrecti0n, krazykobra29,, that's a b0gGart y0u're talking aBout.. dEmentors d0n't change their f0rm to s0mething that can scAre y0u.. and yeah,, the inferi in the m0vie are very much gollum-ish..


Posted by Cherrysakura5 May 13th 2009

I voted Dementor, the other choices are scary except for the Whomping Willow but if Dementors existed it would be the most scariest thing of all for me. You can fight it off with a Patronus but you really need a very strong happy memory and while they are near you can feel bone chilling cold and having your worst memories relived. Its just horrible especially if your NOT a wizard.


Posted by Her_my_nee May 14th 2009

Couldn't decide between dementors, basilisk or acromantula.... but i figured demetor's would be a lil bit more scary...


Posted by Dorian_the_Champion_Seeker May 14th 2009

@phoenixknighthunter A ctually, shes made up another one. She made they blast ended skrewts. They were pretty made up, I'd say. Unless it like a manticore or something...


Posted by Sindollx666x May 14th 2009

I think it would be REALLY awesome if they made The Leaky Cauldron a themed hotel outside of the park for those of us planning to make the trip to Florida just to have a full Harry Potter experience! Oh man that would be freaking cool. I can't wait for this park to open!!! Saving up my money for this!

Is Dumbledore right that Hogwarts sorts its students into Houses too soon - while the kids are too young?
