Boggart

A Boggart takes the shape of whatever a person fears most, and it is weakest when the room laughs. Remus Lupin teaches the charm Riddikulus by facing one in a wardrobe. Harry’s Boggart becomes a Dementor. Another lives in a desk in the drawing room at Grimmauld Place.

First mention

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Chapter: The Boggart in the Wardrobe

Lupin’s Defence class opens a staff-room wardrobe and practices turning the Boggart into something laughable.
