Did J.K. Rowling ever reveal what scares her most? In other words, what form her boggart would take?

As a matter of fact, she did (same interview she indicated what her Animagus form would be).

Q: What shape would a Boggart take if it wanted to scare you? How would you defeat it?
A: J.K. Rowling responds: I think I'd probably have Aragog, as Ron did. I hate spiders.

What about an eight-legged Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn son of Aragog)? – Keith Thompson Sep 23 '12 at 19:36

I also once saw confirmation in an interview that she thought Molly's Boggart (loved ones dead) was pretty scary too though. – balanced mama Jan 17 at 18:15
