The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title. |
Mrs Lockhart was the witch mother of Gilderoy Lockhart, former celebrity and Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and two older Squib daughters.[1]
Biography
Mrs Lockhart was very ambitious for her son, and encouraged him in the belief that he was a remarkable person — something that shows in her rather flashy choice of name for her son.[2] Her overly pampering nature for her son, especially after discovering that he is her only child to have magical powers, caused his vanity to grow like a tenacious weed, which led to his obnoxious, attention-seeking nature that branched off into ignorance, laziness, skill deterioration, fraudulence and eventually self-induced amnesia.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The Healer who looked after Lockhart, Miriam Strout, stated he never got visitors. This suggests that his mother is deceased, considering the doting affection she showed for her son, or that she came to despise his obnoxiousness and vanity. However, it is unlikely that she and the rest of the family ever knew about how far Lockhart went in his desire for attention, as Dumbledore never outright publicized it and the fact that Dumbledore would reveal it to Lockhart's family of all people would be uncharacteristically cruel for him.
