These two women were the older Squib sisters of Gilderoy Lockhart.[1]

Biography

They are the daughters of Mr Lockhart, a Muggle, and Mrs Lockhart, a witch. Their mother doted on Gilderoy due to his magical powers and treated him as her unashamed favourite, which implies she neglected her daughters to some degree.[1]

Behind the scenes

  • The Healer who looked after Lockhart, Miriam Strout, stated he never got visitors. This suggests that Lockhart's sisters are either deceased or simply do not want to see him (which wouldn't be a surprise given his past disposition).
  • It is rare for squibs, even one, to be born into a magical lineage.[2] The fact that these two out of three Lockhart siblings are squibs is noteworthy.
