So, when compiling a list of his greatest talents, there really is no choice but to use his own words. Here they are – [Gilderoy Lockhart’s](/features/gilderoy-lockhart "Gilderoy Lockhart") greatest talents, according to Gilderoy Lockhart.

__He was a generous teacher__  
And he was not afraid to grab hold of reluctant celebrities like [Harry Potter](/features/harry-potter "Harry Potter"), even when they were innocently trying to buy schoolbooks: 

> ‘When young Harry here stepped into [Flourish and Blotts](/features/flourish-and-blotts "Flourish and Blotts") today, he only wanted to buy my autobiography – which I shall be happy to present him now, free of charge’ – the crowd applauded again ‘ – he had no idea,’ Lockhart continued, giving Harry a little shake that made his glasses slip to the end of his nose, ‘that he would shortly be getting much, much more than my book, Magical Me. He and his schoolfellows will, in fact, be getting the real, magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have great pleasure and pride in announcing that, this September, I will be taking up the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at [Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!](/features/hogwarts "Hogwarts")’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* 

__He knew everything about gardening__  
And he wasn’t exactly modest or tactful about it: 

> ‘Just been showing [Professor Sprout](/features/pomona-sprout "Pomona Sprout") the right way to doctor a [Whomping Willow](/features/whomping-willow "The Whomping Willow")! But I don’t want you running away with the idea that I’m better at Herbology than she is! I just happen to have met several of these exotic plants on my travels …’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*  

__His teeth gleamed for a reason__  
And he was only so happy to tell anyone who’d listen, as long as they knew how brave he was, too: 

> ‘Gilderoy Lockhart, [Order of Merlin](/writing-by-jk-rowling/order-of-merlin "Order of Merlin by J.K. Rowling"), Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and five times winner of Witch Weekly’s Most-Charming-Smile Award – but I don’t talk about that. I didn’t get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at her!’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*  

__His deep understanding of the fickleness of fame__  
And his willingness to advise the slightly less famous than he: 

> ‘Let me just say that handing out signed pictures at this stage of your career isn’t sensible – looks a tad bigheaded, Harry, to be frank. There may well come a time when, like me, you’ll need to keep a stack handy wherever you go, but –’ he gave a little chortle, ‘I don’t think you’re quite there yet.’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*

__He had a backup business plan__  
And would market it to bright young witches with voluminous manes of hair: 

> ‘… but [Miss Hermione Granger](/features/hermione-granger "Hermione Granger") knew my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and market my own range of hair-care potions – good girl!’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* 

__He knew a curse for every occasion__  
And he was the only one who did: 

> ‘It was definitely a curse that killed her – probably the Transmogrifian Torture. I’ve seen it used many times, so unlucky I wasn’t there, I know the very counter-curse that would have saved her …’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* 
 
__Gilderoy ‘got’ potions__  
And he was about as subtle as a [troll](/features/mountain-trolls "Mountain Trolls") with an axe about it: 

> ‘I’ll make it,’ Lockhart butted in. ‘I must have done it a hundred times, I could whip up a [Mandrake](/features/behind-the-scenes-mandrakes "Behind the scenes: Mandrakes") Restorative Draught in my sleep –’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* 

__He could play Quidditch__  
And he considered a part-time coaching gig because he was so generous: 

> ‘I was a Seeker, too. I was asked to try for the National Squad, but preferred to dedicate my life to the eradication of the Dark Forces. Still, if ever you feel the need for a little private training, don’t hesitate to ask. Always happy to pass on my expertise to less able players …’

__He was dangerously good at duelling__  
And he’d like everyone to know about it: 

> ‘Let me introduce my assistant [Professor Snape](/features/severus-snape "Severus Snape"),’ said Lockhart, flashing a wide smile. ‘He tells me he knows a tiny little bit about duelling himself and has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration before we begin. Now, I don’t want any of you youngsters to worry – you’ll still have your Potions master when I’m through with him, never fear!’  
>*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*  

__He could defeat anything__  
And that included dealing with that whole [Chamber of Secrets](/writing-by-jk-rowling/chamber-of-secrets) thing himself (ahem): 

> ‘I don’t think there’ll be any more trouble, [Minerva](/features/minerva-mcgonagall "Minerva McGonagall"),’ he said, tapping his nose knowingly and winking. ‘I think the Chamber has been locked for good this time.

__He was committed to signing his name__  
And he was very good at handwriting:

Born to a witch mother and a Muggle father, with two older sisters, Gilderoy Lockhart was the only one of his parents’ three children to show magical ability. 

## Early Life 

Born to a witch mother and a Muggle father, with two older sisters, Gilderoy Lockhart was the only one of his parents’ three children to show magical ability. A clever, good-looking boy, he was his mother’s unashamed favourite, and the realisation that he was also a wizard caused his vanity to blossom like a particularly pernicious weed.

## School 

The young Lockhart’s arrival at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was not the triumph that he and his mother had expected. Somehow, Lockhart had not appreciated that he would be in a whole school full of witches and wizards, many of them more accomplished than himself. (In fact, he had visualised for himself an entrance into Hogwarts not unlike the one that Harry Potter experienced, decades later. He had imagined walking down the corridors to excited whispers of his magical prowess, it never having occurred to him that every student at Hogwarts had had similar experiences before starting school.) In Lockhart’s own mind he was already a fully-fledged hero and genius, and it was a most unwelcome shock to discover that his name was unknown, his talents were unexceptional and that nobody was particularly impressed by his naturally wavy hair.

This is not to say that Lockhart had no talent. Indeed, his teachers felt that he was of above-average intelligence and ability, and that, with hard work, he might make something of himself, even if he fell short of the ambitions he shared freely with classmates (Lockhart told anyone who would listen that he would succeed in making a Philosopher’s Stone before leaving school and that he intended to captain England’s Quidditch team to World Cup glory, before knuckling down to becoming Britain’s youngest Minister for Magic).

Sorted into Ravenclaw house, Lockhart was soon achieving good marks in his schoolwork, but there was always a kink in his nature that made him increasingly unsatisfied. If he was not first and best, he would rather not participate at all. Increasingly, he directed his talents towards short cuts and dodges. He valued learning not for its own sake, but for the attention it brought him. He craved prizes and awards. He lobbied the Headmaster to start a school newsletter, because he liked nothing better than to see his name and photograph in print. 

Never very popular, he nevertheless achieved his primary goal of school-wide recognition through repeated, attention-getting exploits. He received a week’s worth of detentions for magically carving his signature in twenty-foot-long letters into the Quidditch pitch. He managed to create a massive, illuminated projection of his own face, which he would send skywards in imitation of the Dark Mark. He sent himself eight hundred Valentine’s cards one year, which caused such a pile-up of owls in the Great Hall that breakfast had to be abandoned (far too many feathers and droppings in the porridge).

## Post-Hogwarts Career 

When Lockhart finally left Hogwarts, it was to a faint sigh of relief from the staff. He was soon heard of in foreign parts, where his exploits began garnering increasing publicity. Many of his ex-teachers began to feel that they might have misjudged him because he was demonstrating both bravery and resilience in ridding various far-flung places of dangerous, dark creatures.

The truth was that Lockhart had found his true calling at last. He had never been a bad wizard, only a lazy one, and he had decided to hone his talents in one direction: Memory Charms. By perfecting this tricky spell, he had succeeded in modifying the recollections of a dozen highly accomplished and courageous witches and wizards, allowing him to take credit for their daring exploits, returning to Britain at the end of each ‘adventure’ with a new book ready for publication which retold ‘his’ feats of bravery with a wealth of invented detail.

Within a decade of leaving school, Lockhart had achieved bestseller status with his series of autobiographical books and a reputation as a world-class defender against the Dark Arts. He even received the Order of Merlin, Third Class, became an Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and – his good looks untarnished by the many life-and-death, tooth-and-claw battles he claimed to have had with werewolves, banshees and the like – won *Witch Weekly*’s Most-Charming-Smile Award no less than five times in a row.

## Return to Hogwarts 

Many staff were baffled as to the reason that Albus Dumbledore chose to invite Gilderoy Lockhart back to Hogwarts as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. While it was true that it had become almost impossible to persuade anybody else to take the job (the rumour that it was cursed was gathering strength both inside and outside Hogwarts), many teachers remembered Lockhart as thoroughly obnoxious, whatever his later achievements.

Albus Dumbledore’s plans, however, ran deep. He happened to have known two of the wizards for whose life’s work Gilderoy Lockhart had taken credit, and was one of the only people in the world who thought he knew what Lockhart was up to. Dumbledore was convinced that Lockhart needed only to be put back into an ordinary school setting to be revealed as a charlatan and a fraud. Professor McGonagall, who had never liked Lockhart, asked Dumbledore what he thought students would learn from such a vain, celebrity-hungry man. Dumbledore replied that ‘there is plenty to be learned even from a bad teacher: what not to do, how not to be’.

Lockhart might not have been keen to return to Hogwarts, given how well his career of stolen glory was progressing, had Dumbledore not dangled the promise of Harry Potter over his fame-hungry head (a ruse that Dumbledore was to repeat four years later, when another teacher needed to be persuaded to come back to school). By subtly suggesting that teaching Harry Potter would set the seal on Lockhart’s fame, Dumbledore had set a lure that Lockhart could not resist.

By the time that he arrived at school, Lockhart’s magical skills (once rather good) had become rusty almost beyond repair. The only spell for which he had real ability was the Memory Charm, which he had been using repeatedly for years. His classes quickly became a charade, as he was revealed to be completely inept at everything in which he claimed, in his books, to be expert.

The accident that cost Lockhart his sanity occurred at the end of his year at Hogwarts, when he was hit by a backfiring Memory Charm that forever erased his past. He has since resided in the Janus Thickey Ward of St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

## J.K. Rowling’s thoughts

*An extract taken from a BBC Radio 4 interview with Stephen Fry and J.K. Rowling, recorded in the late summer of 2005 and broadcast as a Christmas special in December 2005:*

**Stephen Fry**: Now do you actually trawl through books of rare words or OED [*Oxford English Dictionary*] or things, or are they just things that you somehow, you’ve got a good memory for words?

**J.K. Rowling**: I don’t really trawl books. They tend to be things I’ve collected or stumbled across in general reading. The exception was Gilderoy – Gilderoy Lockhart. The name Lockhart, well, I know it’s quite a well-known Scottish surname…

**SF**: Yeah.

**JKR**: …I found on a war memorial. I was looking for quite a glamorous, dashing sort of surname, and Lockhart caught my eye on this war memorial, and that was it. Couldn’t find a Christian name. And I was leafing through the *Dictionary of Phrase and Fable* one night. I was consciously looking for stuff, generally, that would be useful and I saw Gilderoy, who was actually a highway man, and a very good-looking rogue.

**SF**: Really?

**JKR**: And Gilderoy Lockhart, it just sounded perfect.

**SF**: It is a perfect, perfect…

**JKR**: Impressive, and yet, in the middle, quite hollow, of course.

**SF**: Indeed, as we know, he was.

**JKR**: As we know.

PMARCHIVE-BODY-OF-in-defence-of-gilderoy-lockhart-0

Gilderoy Lockhart is commonly known as a fraud, a charlatan, a wizard who conned his way to fame and fortune despite possessing little magical talent. But we'd like to play handsome devil's advocate. We want to put forward the case that, for all his flaws, Lockhart has many redeeming qualities. Take, for example…

## He’s a product of his parents

Everyone, of course, is responsible for their actions – [including Lockhart](/writing-by-jk-rowling/gilderoy-lockhart). But sometimes to understand those actions is to understand where they came from. In Lockhart's case, his vacuous vanity can arguably be traced back to his childhood: to being the only wizard out of three children; to a witch mother who treated him as her unashamed favourite and pumped up his ego from an early age; to the feeling that, as the only wizard in a mainly Muggle family, he was somehow special.

## He's really handsome

Oscar Wilde once said that beauty is a form of genius – 'higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation’. If that is indeed the case, then Gilderoy Lockhart is the smartest wizard who ever lived. His face was carved by angels, his hair woven from gold, his eyes pools of pearls, his smile – winner of *Witch Weekly's* Most-Charming-Smile Award – shining like warm rays of summer sunshine.

Gilderoy Lockhart is hella hot, is basically what we're saying. And that, at the very least, is something.

PMARCHIVE-BODY-OF-in-defence-of-gilderoy-lockhart-2

## He works with what he’s got

Despite what you may think, Gilderoy Lockhart was actually a pretty clever child – he was, after all, sorted into Ravenclaw. He just happened to also be arrogant and lazy, never trying hard at anything unless he could be the best at it. But did such a lack of work ethic and natural talent hold him back? No, it did not. Instead Lockhart focused his attention on his strengths: deviousness, cunning, initiative. All things that allowed him to work towards his ambition of being a great wizard without actually being one. And that, in its own, twisted, Lockhart way, is admirable in itself.

## He knows how to play the fame game

More often than not, it takes talent to become famous. And more often than not, it takes talent to stay famous. Lockhart possesses such talent. He may not be the best dueller, or the man to fix your broken arm, but Lockhart is a virtuoso when it comes to the art of celebrity and self-promotion. Just look at how carefully he's created his image, how he has perfected his brand, how he never misses an opportunity for exposure or publicity – his first encounter with Harry Potter being a prime example.

## He's really handsome

Did you notice?

## He's really good at memory charms

You might think that Lockhart has no magical ability, that he's just a handsome, charming chancer, fooling the world into thinking that he's a handsome, charming hero. But he does excel in one area of magic: memory charms. Lockhart is a master of them, an expert in Obliviating all evidence of his misdeeds. We're not saying that's necessarily a good thing, of course, but it does suggest hidden talents.

## He is ridiculously dedicated

How dedicated? At the end of the film *Chamber of Secrets (2002)*, there is a book by Gilderoy in Flourish and Blotts entitled *'Who am I?'*. Even when he couldn't remember who he was, or why he was famous, he was still dedicated to strengthening his brand. Total pro.

## Er, did we mention that he's really handsome?

Seriously, what a dreamboat.

How to become famous, according to Gilderoy Lockhart

### Sign everything  
 
Photos, inanimate objects, books (even books you haven’t written), literally any piece of paper – whatever it may be, make sure your autograph is seen far and wide. Gilderoy Lockhart was always up for helping to increase the value of something with his well-perfected signature, even if it was a 12-year old girl asking for signed permission to get into the Hogwarts Restricted Section. He didn’t care! An autograph was still an autograph, right? And wise Lockhart started this hobby young. As a Hogwarts student, the wizard once excelled himself by signing his signature in twenty-foot long letters across the school’s Quidditch pitch. Did it get him noticed? Yes. Did he get detention? Also yes.  
<br>

### Dream big   
 
When Lockhart was at school, he had aspirations of making his own Philosopher’s Stone, becoming Britain’s youngest Minister for Magic, and captaining England’s Quidditch team, to name a few. Of course, he did not do any of these things. But the point is, he went on and on about it until people couldn’t help but remember who he was. And what’s the next best thing to achieving your dreams? Talking about your dreams for inordinate periods of time until people get sick of the sight of you!
<br>
 
### Keep up appearances  
 
In general, people tend to be more successful if they simply turn up to things. Gilderoy Lockhart knew this better than anyone, even taking up a job at Hogwarts to expand his profile despite having next-to-no Defence Against the Dark Arts abilities. You may have nothing to offer the world, but being present might just earn you a photo-spot in the Daily Prophet – even if you’re only in the background. After all, you’ve got to...
<br>

### Fake it until you make it  
 
If you’re not famous or talented... just tell people you are, and wait for that to become fact. This is how Lockhart went about things, gallantly lying about his adventures with trolls, yetis and ghouls to make a quick Galleon, eventually becoming ridiculously famous. Worried about authenticity? Never fear. Steal your fictional escapades from people who actually did go on these adventures; write a book in the first person; put your name on it, and repeat. Next thing you know, you’ve got yourself an Order of Merlin, Third Class that will absolutely never get found out, definitely. 
<br>

### Make friends with other famous people  
 
Nothing increases star-power like standing in front of another celebrity. Or – Merlin forbid –actually becoming ‘friends’ with them. Just make sure to get your photo taken with them.  
  
When it came to mingling, Lockhart once again set the example: traumatising a young Harry Potter innocently trying to buy school books by dragging him into a photo opportunity, so the pair would make the front page of the Daily Prophet. It worked a treat, despite Harry trying to fight his way out of the frame. Still, good to have friends in high places... even if they’re in high places just to get away from you.  
<br>

### Obliviate anyone who tries to blow your cover 
  
You’ve taken the fast road to fame. Thankfully, there’s a wonderful Memory Charm to cover your tracks! Just don’t use a broken wand stolen from a second-year student, because that doesn’t tend to end well. Alternatively, you could do none of these things and live a wholesome and meaningful existence.

Totally up to you.

We encountered a few Valentine’s Days in the Harry Potter books, and it’s fair to say it didn’t seem to be Harry’s favourite day of the year. Of course, there was plenty of romance all over the seven stories in general, so to celebrate the official day of adoration, we’ve put together a little quiz to see how well you know the theme of love in the wizarding world. 

Enjoy…
