"Well there is the situation where we face the boggart in - it depends. Since they like to dwell in closets, cupboards and stuff like that, one could most probably encounter them in a household or a place you're familiar with - perhaps familiar enough to be opening cupboards and all.
As for the opponent, well we all know that boggarts transform into what you would fear the most. In as much as it could turn into something that would not be feared too greatly, there are odds that the latter might just happen in which case we need to be prepared. In other words - they'll just try to pysche you out.
In this case, your abilities would include being able to visualize your fear in a manner that would amuse you. Play on your strengths - concentrate on what would really make something that you fear deeply have you laugh out until your stomach hurts and then use the "Riddikulus" spell.
In this case your wand is the single greatest resource - boggarts are shape-shifters and since no one knows what is their original form, one can only assume that they might be just vapour - in which case, physical force won't work on them."
Esh takes a breath. Then looks inquiringly at the professor.
"This brings a doubt into my mind professor. I might be mistaken in what I had just said, but does a boggart take the shape of what you fear the most, or does it just randomly take the shape of something you fear?"
