First, which kind, physical or emotional? One must know these things before answering a question intelligently. Though, I guess I could answer it both ways, making it a more complete answer?
Emotionally, the obstacles in my life have been more than some could bare, some more hard then some could hear. I’ve been through everything, from deaths of loved ones to being stuck in the hospital wing for days on end due to numerous accidents. The most emotionally challenging obstacle I have faced however is not the deaths of loved ones, or being locked in a hospital wings, but seeing my friends in their tragic states after these accidents. Obviously we have all almost overcome these feelings, but when things are at their worse, it is just awful. Seeing your best friends crying on your shoulder for hours on end, seeing your boyfriends parents worked up over almost losing you to the dark side of magic, its to much to handle. Of course, with time and many potions, you seem to come through. It seems like ever since I have come to this school things only want to get worse, and yet I do not regret ever coming here. I feel that even though things may have been so horrible I wanted to lay down and die, that they have made me a much stronger person. That’s always a plus.
As for physically overcoming an obstacle, there have been to many. I have been stuck in many situations on many occasions, but the worst would have to be when we were in fifth year, in the department of mysteries. Between the screams of loved ones to the laughing of horrible witched and wizards, to the death of Sirius, overcoming this obstacle was a trial. We did though, all of alive, except for one.
