"And you have to focus on turning the boggart into something funny when you cast the spell," Hope added. "So even if you cast it correctly, if you can't bring yourself to laugh at it, the Riddikulus spell won't work. And that's hard, to laugh at something when you're frightened." Hope was dismayed to find out that yes, they were indeed going to study boggarts. She was hoping to delay the moment of truth by adding to the discussion, so that the preliminaries would take as long as possible.
