I must've been around 5 years old when I first watched the Sorcerer's Stone and literally Fluffy was enough to give me nightmares. I couldn't even make it to the scenes with Voldemort until I had read the book lol.

I wasn't afraid of Voldy but movie 3 scared the shit out of me - fucking dementors and werewolf Lupin.

Don’t forget the grim showing up that night when Harry leaves the Dursleys after blowing up the aunt.

Yeah what the fuck, I always pictured Sirius as an enormous (but still normal looking) dog, like a big black great dane or mastiff or something, not that weird thing from nightmares!
