Character - Professor Gilderoy Lockhart

''Oh, there you are, good,’ said Mrs Weasley. She sounded breathless and kept patting her hair. ‘We’ll be able to see him in a minute...’
Gilderoy Lockhart came slowly into view, seated at a table surrounded by large pictures of his own face, all winking and flashing dazzlingly white teeth at the crowd. The real Lockhart was wearing robes of forget-me-not blue which exactly matched his eyes; his pointed wizard’s hat was set at a jaunty angle on his wavy hair.'


- Chapter Four, At Flourish and Blotts, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Immaculately presented in fine, colourful robes and with a debonair, dramatic attitude, Gilderoy Lockhart stands out from the other teachers at Hogwarts.

Amongst his many touted talents and skills, he’s the author of a series of books that boast of his various adventures in dealing with the darker side of magic.

Our Pottermore Galleries hold a number of brilliant creative interpretations of Professor Lockhart. Here are some of our colourful favourites:
