"An excellent point, Miss Winters. Take two extra points for your critical thinking." Kazimeriz nodded. "Dementors are more dangerous and therefore are given the highest ministry rating for a dark creature for that very reason, for who among us does not cling to their positive memories in dark times?" he glanced around the room. "And good attempt, Miss Greingoth, but a hinkypunk does not feed on emotion, but rather lures the victim into a bog where it kills them outright. However, I shall award two points to everyone who attempted to answer. As we have said, boggarts and dementors both do feed on emotion. Boggarts, as many of you have said, cannot tolerate laughter, joy, happiness-- they dislike strong positive emotions, but laughter-- the physical expression of joy or amusement-- is what they simply cannot abide, so it is your best defense. Can anyone else give an example of a creature that uses psychological energy in its attacks?"
