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:

Where would you shop on Diagon Alley?
'There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Harry had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels’ eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon...'

Places – The Library
‘And then, of course, there was the sheer size of the library; tens of thousands of books; thousands of shelves; hundreds of narrow rows.’
- Chapter Twelve, The Mirror of Erised, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
One of Hermione’s favourite places at Hogwarts, the library is a place of refuge and of answers for her, and often Harry and Ron too.
It helped solve the case of the elusive Nicholas Flamel in Harry’s first year at Hogwarts; it held the explanation for the voice Harry was hearing in his second year. It also houses the Restricted Section, an area full of books on the Dark Arts, from which Harry, Ron and Hermione learn how to brew Polyjuice Potion.
Our Pottermore fans have submitted fantastic art of the library, with different interpretations of this store of knowledge. Here are some of our favourites:
