Harry Potter Question: the bogart?

woah great question.

Mad-eye Moody must have known the real shape of boggart as of previous answers boggart can feel the presence only when its near or in sight of it.

J.K.Rowling is just GREAT

Yes he saw through the cabinet with his [creepy] eye lol. Maybe he peered through the cabinet and saw 'the thing he feared most' and using his great magical knowledge, he figured out that it must be a bogart. Or maybe his glass eye is "special" and can see through the true nature of something... so he could tell that it was a bogart.

Mad Eye saw through the cabinet and saw his fear and because everyone was telling it was a bogart. It was pretty logical. Remember, Lupin was pretty sure it was a Bogart and Moody was a retired Auror.

Very good Question!

But I dont think that even Mad-eye would have been able to see its true form. A boggart senses presence, i guess, or at least senses it is being seen.(This is the magical world after all, so this is probabale).

I think the when madeye, looked at the boggart, it would have shown him the thing he fears.I think it is highly unlikely that just because mad-eye wasnt in the boggarts physical presence, yet was looking at it, that it would not transform into the thing he fears.

So , no I dont think Mad-eye, would have seen the true form of the boggart. He would have seen a version of his biggest fear!

Yes, his mad eye sees through things. Sometimes people just know what looks and sounds like a bogart.

Moody can see through things but i think he heard the Bogart rather than saw it.

Sad Moody died

i'm a mom of two, so y6 i could be like Mrs. Weasley seeing her family participants ineffective. yet greater suitable than their deaths, i'm greater scared to dying of them going lacking and not understanding what handed off, whether or not they're nevertheless alive or ineffective. How ought to a Bogart rework into that?

The form of a boggart will take the shape of whatever one fears most, whether it is concious of being watched or not. So when Mad-Eye looked inside the cabinet, he saw whatever he feared most, whatever that is.

maybe he new that there's a bogart in the cabinet. or he just guessed that it was a bogart.

yours is the first ever HP question i've found that actually does find a hole in the writing of the books, and stumped me as to an answer for it, and for that i give you a star.
