Various anecdotes on Pottermore describe Riddikulus transforming Boggarts in a variety of ways, not all of which being directly related to making the Boggart funny. In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, only Ron and Hermione learn this spell due to Harry being locked out of the class while Lupin is teaching it to his class.
That's rediculus (sp?). Harry never learns that spell (the teacher stepped in because the Boggart was going to change into Voldemort). But it's okay, because the chests that need rediculus pop out a Dementor for Harry, so you can use the spell that kill them instead. Sieg Zeon!
In Harry Potter, Riddikulus is a spell used against Boggarts. For the magic to work, you have to think of something funny while casting it. If it works, it makes the boggart take the shape of whatever you were thinking of and because Boggarts feed on fear, they're defeated by laughter.
Later, Professor Lupin explained that the reason he didn't let Harry face the Boggart was that he thought Harry's Boggart would turn into Lord Voldemort, and he didn't want to panic the students.
(at around 45 mins) When Harry asks Professor Lupin why he didn't allow him to have a chance with the Boggart, Lupin says that he was afraid that it would turn into Voldemort in front of everyone. But the Boggart had already turned into a Dementor before Lupin jumped in front of Harry to redirect the creature at him.
In this game, it becomes clear that Draco Malfoy's Boggart is Lord Voldemort. Draco's fear of Voldemort likely comes from different reasons than others have. Most fear Voldemort taking over the world. Draco fears Voldemort intimidating and manipulating the Malfoy family.
And Remus was in love with Sirius (also hopelessly, because Sirius only had eyes for James). Then James was killed, Sirius was imprisoned, Remus was outcasted, and Peter was ratatouilled.
Dumbledore's lack of belief that Sirius is innocent is also suspect. Sirius was a member of the Order of the Phoenix which fought against Death Eaters, but Sirius also was as close to James as a brother, the Potters even took him in when he ran away from home.
As a single werewolf, it is understandable that Remus could not take care of Harry after his parents died. It's also possible he was not informed where Harry was placed and thus couldn't write to him in his early years at the Dursleys.
Neville casts this spell. Riddikulus is a charm that is used in defence against a Boggart. It causes the creature to assume a form that is humorous to the caster, thereby counteracting the Boggart's ability to terrorise.
The horrific emergence of Nagini from the body of Bathilda Bagshot is by no means the first or last scary snake moment in Harry Potter. While there are several to choose from, the attack on Arthur Weasley in The Order of the Phoenix is undoubtedly one of the most harrowing.
While it may seem as though Draco simply has an outright hatred for Harry from the start, it goes deeper than that. He is, above all, jealous of Harry and a coward. Draco was brought up believing that he and his family are the best that the wizarding world has to offer.
Malfoy hated all the attention Harry recieved . Malfoy thought Harry was a dark wizard, he tried to befriend Harry but he refused because of the way Malfoy treated Ron whom he already made friends with. That's why Malfoy hate Harry for turning him down.
Why didn't Arthur Weasley know Sirius was innocent?
Its not until lupin discovered that Peter P (wormtail) was still alive that Sirius was innocent and he did not portray the potters or kill wormtail. Therefore Mr weasley thought all along Sirius had the potters killed and though he was out to kill harry because he was the last potter and also he was his grandfather.
But the whole thing was a misunderstanding. No, Sirius Black was not involved in any horcrux business. It seems no one but Snape and Dumbledore were aware of this fact.
For instance, he was able to admit to the Muggle Prime Minister, with somewhat humbleness, that starting a ruthless manhunt for Sirius Black may have been aimless since he was in fact innocent all along, which Fudge realised when he learned that Black was killed by his own cousin in the Battle of the Department of ...
She formed part of the Advance Guard and bravely participated in the Battle of the Seven Potters. Tonks became pregnant by this time and Remus began to worry that he had passed on his werewolf condition to their son, though this proved not to be the case as the child had inherited only Tonks's metamorphic abilities.
Until the climax of Prisoner of Azkaban, Lupin believed Sirius Black was guilty of murdering 12 Muggles, betraying Lily and James Potter, and killing Peter Pettigrew. He eventually discovered the truth — that Sirius was innocent, and the very much alive Peter was the traitor.
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
What did Harry Potter's long-time adversary, Draco Malfoy, ultimately dread the most? Draco's boggart would likely be in the form of the Grim Reaper with young Malfoy's own face under its hood. Surprisingly, Lord Voldemort was not Draco's greatest fear.
While Harry's worst fear is a dementor and Neville's is Snape, there is a theory that Draco's boggart would take the form of his father, Lucius Malfoy. In this way, it is implied that Draco's worst fear is, sadly, his very own father.
