More Thorough Description/Facts:
Description: Gilderoy Lockhart is a very arrogant man, known for his work with the Dark Arts, author of many books, Winner of
Witch Weekly’s Most Charming-Smile Award 5 times, consecutively, Winner of Order of Merlin, Third Class, and many other countless things – supposedly, at least. After being employed at Hogwarts as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he thinks to serve a constant reminder to all students that he is, after all, one of the greatest wizard’s of his era. He found it interesting to try to spread his “warmth” and “good personality” to others, resulting in being considered one of the most annoying teachers, aside from most female students at school. He makes many snide remarks, although is oblivious to the fact that he’s doing so. Depending on the perspective you’re seeing him from, you could call him a genius, or simply an airhead. In truth, he seems to be skilled with Charm-work, and tends to be – for the most part – a strategic thinker. He seems to land himself in a spot of trouble, though, while in the Chamber of Secrets with Harry and Ron. He is never left without a quill (Peacock feather) and a stack of photographs with his charming smile on them. He tends to dress in extravagant attire, consisting of various colored robes and hats. As a younger child (aged 12) he was referred to as ‘a nobody’. In actuality, he was a fraud.

Words Used To Describe Him:
Loud; big-headed; immodest; immaculate; arrogant; vain; egotistical; pompous; pretentious; weak-chinned (post CoS discussion); feeble (post CoS discussion); handsome, fraud


Other: His Office/Living Arrangement: polished desk; candles; walls plastered with pictures of himself; chairs
