The Vault of Fear is a secret room hidden behind one of the bookcases in the Restricted Section of the Library at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is one of the five fabled Cursed Vaults said to have housed treasures and prophecies from before the time of the four founders of the school.
Description[]
If tampered with, this vault unleashes a great number of Boggarts around the school. It was found by the Main Character and their friends in their third year.
History[]
In the Main Character's third year, they found the vault and objects left by their brother Jacob. They were accompanied by Tulip Karasu, Barnaby Lee, and either Rowan Khanna, Nymphadora Tonks, or Bill Weasley. In order to open the vault, they had to prove they had sacrificed their magic by breaking their wands. The Main Character and their friends were able to trick the vault into opening by using Jacob's broken wand instead. They had found Jacob's broken wand in the Vault of Ice the previous year. They entered the Vault of Fear and discovered three Boggarts guarding it. In the Main Character's case, the Boggarts took the form of Lord Voldemort. The group defeated the three Boggarts and broke the curse.
Trivia[]
- The Vault of Fear looked the same as the Vault of Ice. But the Main Character described it was "way more scarier."
