Riddikulus 

The Boggart-Banishing Spell 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, along with a whip-crack noise, thereby counteracting the Boggart's ability to terrorise.
The caster must think of something funny while casting this spell. As boggarts feed on fear and are defeated by laughter, the object of the spell, ultimately is to make the boggart laughable.
Thanks to the riddikulus charm one can laugh at their worst fears.
