TRIBUTES AND TESTIMONIALS

Read what The World is saying about
Gilderoy Lockhart!

"Wonderful chap. Just wonderful. We use the same wi.. hairdresser, you know!"

Cornelius Fudge
Minister of Magic

"Yes, of course I remember Professor Lockhart.

I don't see how anybody could ever forget him."

Harry Potter
Student and wannabe child superstar
Hogwarts School

"Perhaps the most famous wizard in the world (with the obvious exception of young Mr Potter), and certainly the most eligible! Lockhart's amazing adventures, his sparkling personality and his drop-dead gorgeous looks are now the stuff of legend, and quite rightly so - his exploits have become the staple diet for our readers!

The only wizard to ever win the Witch Weekly Most Charming Smile award five times! Doesn't that just say it all?!

Witch Weekly magazine

"Professor Lockhart is the best teacher ever, and we all miss him terribly. The whole school was devastated when he left. If you think you love Gilderoy more than anyone, you are wrong! WE LOVE HIM MORE!"

Fay Appleby, Chloe Butler, Hester White and Katherine Muir
Students and founder members of the Official Gilderoy Lockhart fan club
Miss Templeton's College for Hugely-Impressionable Young Witches

"He's mental, that one!"

Ron Weasley
Student
Hogwarts School

"Professor Lockhart taught defence against the dark arts - allegedly."

Harry Potter
Student and wannabe child superstar
Hogwarts School

"Professor Lockhart made a lasting impression here at Hogwarts. I think it fair to say that we had never experienced anyone quite like him.

But, that fact notwithstanding, I truly wish him all the best in his future career, and thank him most sincerely for all his informative advice relating to hair-care that was so forthcoming during his time with us."

Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
Hogwarts School

"Professor Lockhart is an inspiration to us all. He was extremely popular and is much missed by his pupils here at Hogwarts. We very much hope that he will return and resume his rightful place as DADA teacher."

Hermione Granger
Student
Hogwarts School

"I find Lockhart seriously freaky and his weird hair gives me nightmares."

Lord Voldemort
Dark Wizard and amateur herpetologist
Current whereabouts unknown

"Oh what a wonderful man! There's seldom a day goes by that I don't feel the need to consult one of his marvellous books!"

Mrs Weasley
Smitten housewife
The Burrow
Ottery St. Catchpole

"Who?"

Lucius Malfoy
Very Important Wizard

"Lockhart's classes were great - if you like pixies."

Harry Potter
Student and wannabe child superstar
Hogwarts School

"Lockhart suffers from the most extreme case of narcissm I have ever seen - I wrote a fairly extensive article about it for 'Magical Maladies Today', which was very well received. Thanks!"

Dr. James Hodges
Physician
St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies

"Given the monumental scale of Lockhart's fantasies, it is nothing short of miraculous that a lone braincell can achieve so much."

Minerva McGonagall
Transfigurations Mistress
Hogwarts School

"This book is oddly compelling and perfectly sums up its flamboyant author: unbelievable!"

From a review for 'Magical Me'
Daily Prophet - literary supplement

"Well, yeah - Gandalf's okay. But Gilderoy is better!"

Frodo Baggins
Bag End, Hobbiton
The Shire, Middle Earth

"Hell will freeze over before I give that moron a quote!"

Severus Snape
Potions Master
Hogwarts School

"I don't even want to think about him ever again, let alone talk about him! PLEASE go away and stop asking me!"
