A new poll has appeared on the official website for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is currently being built at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
The question is; What scares you the most? Options include; the Whomping Willow, the Hungarian Horntail, an Acromantula, a Dementor or a Basilisk?
The park is scheduled to open sometime next year.

That's a really hard question. I have a massive phobia of spiders and snakes but I think the Dementors are the scariest.

Unless there is a spell that protects one prior to facing a basilisk you would have to be very wary.

Now thaaaat is a hard thing to pick XD I suppose that the Dementor is the scariest but I've got a feeling that an Acromantula would frighten me even more

big deal about dementors, all you do is just point your wand at them and say a spell and their goners.

That's a toughy.... I would probably want to pick the horntail bec. in the movie, it nearly scared me to death! XD But the Dementor is a popular choice... hmm. I think the Dementor wins on this, but the horntail is a clear second!

Hmm, an acromantula or dementor for me. Spiders dart around the place so fast that I can barely spot them sometimes *shivers*. As much as I like some spiders, they still give me the shivers sometimes. (I'm trying to imagine how fast an acromantula would be, ewww.)
However, the dementor would probably scare me more because they too can move fairly fast and if they got too close, that's curtains for me. (I'd just blow up the spider, I can't kill a dementor)  I doubt I'd be able to focus on a happy memory once it's at a certain distance. (Trying to be honest here).
Oh well, it's Dementor for me. Good question though. 
*Think happy thoughts...think happy thoughts...*

Def not the whomping willow, I don't care how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid of a tree lol. I think the Horntail is dangerous but pretty cool, not scary. The dementor is scary, but just make sure you cast a patronus and you're fine. It's between acromantula and basilisk. I'd have to say acromantula because I have a fear of spiders and even if you try and run away hundreds of smaller, faster spiders will try to catch you just like in CoS.

I chose Basilisk...something that can kill you just by looking it in the eye is just TERRIFYING and not to mention it's also a HUGE snake! But I think a dementor, a hungarian horntail, and an acromantula would also scare the mess out of me.

BUT WITH A BASILISK, UNLESS YOU CAN GET THE PHOENIX TO BLIND IT, YOU'RE DONE IN. JUST ASK MOANING MURTLE. | |

Dementors certainly are creepy and would frighten me, but like Ron, I have a phobia of spiders.
So, if Ron wasn't too frightened by the dementors, but of Aragog, then I would probably be more afraid of a Giant Spider. *shivers*
