A gryffinpuff. He's ok. It was my favourite in chamber of secrent after dobby. Related wiki Tom Riddle Bio. Related wiki ravenclaw bio! Into Harry Potter? He gets fan mail all the time, although he has no idea why.
Lockhart perfected the Memory Charm, which he used to take credit for the exploits of other, more talented, witches and wizards. Gilderoy: The name of a handome highwayman in the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. Related images. Lockhart is the only character in the series to date to use a peacock-feather quill.
The peacock is a traditional symbol of vanity, a very apt implication in Lockhart's case. His large, colourful wardrobe would also qualify him to be referred to as a "peacock" in the slang sense.
Peacocks also have other, more positive symbolism associated with them, but this is the most common modern English usage. Gilderoy Lockhart. Birth January 26th, Related Entries.
His squandering of his own talents and refusal to take his studies seriously also earned him the scorn of his teachers. Lockhart's graduation was met with a faint sigh of relief from the entire school.
When Lockhart had erased the memories of two wizards, Dumbledore eventually found out and decided to track him down and make him pay for his crimes. Dumbledore offered Lockhart a position as the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, under the correct belief that school is the best location to expose the fraud for what he is. Lockhart was reluctant at first, as he was aware that his former educators remain vigilant of his incompetence, but was instantly swayed when Dumbledore mentioned Harry Potter's fame, which Lockhart would believe as a boost to his own.
During his tenure in the — school year , Lockhart made an utter mess out of the subject due to his incompetence. He also annoyed most of the teachers some of whom remember his time as a student [1] by making it look as though he was superior to them in every one of their fields, while proving otherwise with his consistently terrible performances. As such, his coworkers found him extremely obnoxious and could not take him seriously as a professor.
Lockhart's insensitive nature embarrassed Snape and Flitwick on Valentine's Day , when he made comments about Love Potions and Entrancing Enchantments regarding them, respectively, while disgusting everyone else by just overdecorating the Great Hall , and releasing dwarfs throughout the school to deliver Valentines, interrupting classes in progress.
By the end of the year, the other teachers were pleased to see him leave, going as far as to join in the students' applause of the announcement. Even Rubeus Hagrid , who normally would never have criticised a teacher, publicly expressed disdain for Lockhart. Lockhart, on the other hand, did not seem to notice the resentment the teachers had for him, and instead kept on annoying everyone.
When Hagrid was sent to Azkaban based on Cornelius Fudge 's misguided beliefs, Lockhart adamantly believed Hagrid to be guilty of opening the Chamber of Secrets , despite future events and the continuous tension of the atmosphere prove otherwise.
This might have been the result of Hagrid claiming that he never read Lockhart's books, and that Harry would not be giving out signed photographs, both of which made Lockhart disappointed. Gilderoy was particularly disliked by Professor Snape for not only taking the teaching post he coveted so much, but also for his constant and presumptuous attempts to advise Snape with largely nonsensical suggestions; Snape looked as though he was prepared to kill Lockhart during the duelling club, as Harry described, and something even Lockhart eventually saw when he looked at Snape's expression.
When Ginny Weasley was taken into the Chamber of Secrets , Snape immediately sent Lockhart to deal with the monster within. The other teachers agreed unanimously, in the hopes of scaring Lockhart away, especially considering he had walked in obliviously while the other teachers were devastated by Ginny's impending doom. In revenge, they took Lockhart's earlier claims and used it against him, while ignoring his attempt to stammer his way out with feeble excuses.
While unpopular during his time as a student, [1] Lockhart, as a teacher, had a mixed relationship with the students of Hogwarts: about half of them admired him for his celebrity status, while the other half resented him for being obnoxious and fake.
However, by the end of the year, when Lockhart revealed his own fraudulence and left school due to his accidental self-induced amnesia, pretty much every student gave their round of applause at the news. The half of the students who initially admired him were mostly girls like Hermione and Susan, who fell for his good looks, and people who actually believed in the accomplishments in his books, such as Justin Finch-Fletchley and Colin Creevey.
They remained ignorant of Lockhart's true colours, even when he revealed them little by little throughout his terrible performances. When he was finally exposed as a fraud, they most likely abandoned their faith in him. Much like most of the faculty, the other half of the students simply found Lockhart to be annoyingly unpleasant.
His ineffectiveness in teaching them anything useful had caused a rift for their education experience. Draco Malfoy , while showing no sympathy either for or against Lockhart, mocked Harry for being dragged into the spotlight by the professor.
Harry Potter particularly disliked Lockhart for dragging him into the spotlight against his will the moment they first met , beginning with the book-signing during which Lockhart made a spectacle out of Harry as a publicity stunt, and for making Harry seem as though he was constantly seeking attention; the only reason Lockhart returned to Hogwarts to teach was under the presumption that getting close to Harry would boost his own popularity. Lockhart only further infuriated Harry by doing far more damage than help when he removed Harry's arm bones instead of mending them when they were broken by Dobby's tampered Bludger , requiring him to use Skele-Gro.
Their first lesson was enough to make Harry realise that Lockhart was incompetent, he would spend much of the school year avoiding Lockhart to the best of his power, and practically begged Professor McGonagall to allow him an alternate detention when he was assigned to help Lockhart answer his fan-mails, which Lockhart thought was a treat, when Harry thought otherwise. Lockhart would often drag Harry to the front of the class to reenact some of the more dramatic portions within the textbooks' contents in a theatrical manner, as part of the "lecture", something Harry would have refused if he did not have a very good reason then.
Lockhart even offered Harry some private Quidditch lessons, to which Harry refused. Harry would use Lockhart's ignorance against him, by requesting him to sign a permission slip for a library book in the Restricted Section that no other teachers would so easily do, and then have Lockhart return to class prematurely so Harry and Ron can sneak off from all security measures set. Neither Harry nor Ron had any qualms about attacking Lockhart and forcing him to enter the Chamber of Secrets , and they even made him go first as a buffer for any approaching harm.
Harry didn't have much sympathy when Lockhart lost his memories after his Memory Charm backfired, as it was entirely his fault for attempting it on Harry and Ron in the first place. Ron Weasley , who was already annoyed since the book-signing at Flourish and Blotts made it look as though his family was unimportant, saw Lockhart for what he truly was during their first lesson, when the professor gave a test completely irrelevant to the subject, and then released a boisterous group of pixies he was unable to contain.
Ron's disgust deepened over the year, when Lockhart's continuous ineptitude annoyed him repeatedly, going as far as wanting to drop out of Lockhart's class because of it, feeling very revolted alongside the rest of the staff with Lockhart's over-decorative "morale booster" on Valentine's day , sickened by Lockhart's overly lavish peacock quill something Lockhart completely misinterpreted as admiration , and reached a critical level when Lockhart attempted to flee while allowing Ron's sister to die in the Chamber of Secrets; when they finally discovered where the fabled Chamber was, and that Lockhart inadvertently admitted himself as a fraud, Ron demanded that Lockhart go first into the Chamber as a test subject.
However, three years later, Ron felt somewhat guilty for Lockhart losing his memories due to his Memory Charm backfiring from using Ron's damaged wand. Unlike Ron and Harry, Hermione Granger was a big fan of Lockhart, showing excitement at the prospect at meeting him at Flourish and Blotts , saying that he has written almost the entire booklist.
When Lockhart taught at Hogwarts, Hermione dismissed his mistakes, when normally she would become impatient whenever anyone cast a single spell wrong, such as after Lockhart's first lesson, she insisted that Lockhart just wanted to give them some hands on experience by bringing pixies to the class, and refused to see that he did not know what he was doing. She also dismissed his blunders as the usual honest mistakes, such as when he deboned Harry Potter's arm, and talking about "all the amazing things he's done.
Ron Weasley also noticed that she had outlined Lockhart's lessons on her timetable with hearts. It was presumed she was shocked when Lockhart was exposed as a fraud. It was possible, however, that she simply fell for his good looks, as she was described to be breathless when she saw him at St. Mungo's, despite Lockhart already having been exposed as a fraud. Hermione claimed that she admired "the amazing things he had done", but she had showed signs that she only admired his good looks, no matter what she said to the contrary.
Also, when she claimed that she didn't like someone just because they're handsome after their second year, Ron coughed the word "Lockhart". When Gilderoy was admitted into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries due to is self-inflicted amnesia, the healer in charge of his ward, Miriam Strout , took care of him.
She was very motherly to him, catering to his condition with an affectionate tone, leading him back into his room when he slipped out while speaking kindly to him as though he was a child out of place. She also took pity on him for the fact that nobody visited him. Gilderoy was a name that J. Rowling found in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. According to the dictionary , the name belongs to two different highway men who were both described as incredibly handsome.
Gilderoy is an Irish and Scottish name that refers back to Gilroy, which means "son of the red-haired servant", or "son of the king's servant.
