Gilderoy Lockhart finally paid for what he did in a truly horrible wayAnd he is not seen or mentioned again in these Harry Potter Movie saga.
Gilderoy Lockhart is taken to St. Mungo’s after Chamber of Secrets
Gilderoy Lockhart was not in the best condition
Gilderoy Lockhart was a half-blood wizard, Ravenclaw student, celebrity and famous author in the wizarding world, writing many books about his adventures and experiences to encounter dark creatures. His supposed experience with the creatures made him a great candidate to take on the job of Hogwarts’ new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but he quickly showed how clumsy and useless he was at the job (and in general). When the Chamber of Secrets was opened and after Ginny Weasley was taken to it, Lockhart claimed to know where the chamber was.
Lockhart was stopped by Harry and Ron and revealed to them that he was a big fraud.
Because of this, the other teachers at Hogwarts sent Lockhart to the Chamber to face the monster and save Ginny. Of course, Lockhart agreed, but instead of going into the chamber, he tried to escape. Lockhart was stopped by Harry and Ron and revealed to them that he was a big fraud. Harry and Ron forced Lockhart down the pipe that led to the chamber, where Lockhart took Ron’s broken wand and tried to do a memory charm on themA spell he’s used for years to force people to forget what they’ve done so he can claim their stories as his.
Due to his amnesiac condition, Lockhart was sent to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Ailments and Injuries, in the Janus Thicke ward for permanent spell damage.
However, as Ron’s wand was broken, The spell returned and Lockhart lost all his memories. Back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore, having achieved his goal of exposing Lockhart’s lies, shot him, a decision that was met with joy and relief by students and teachers alike. Due to his amnesiac condition, Lockhart was sent to St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Ailments and Injuries, in the Janus Thicke ward for permanent spell damage. Although Lockhart regained some of his memories some time later, he never fully recovered.
Gilderoy Lockhart is mostly forgotten after Chamber of Secrets (despite his fame)
Gilderoy Lockhart was once very famous in the wizarding world
Despite Lockhart’s lies being exposed, his many frauds were not made public. Professor Dumbledore believed that what happened to Lockhart with the Reverse Memory Charm was punishment enough for Lockhart, who did not have to be treated with contempt by the Wizarding World for actions he had no idea he had committed. The people in St. Mungo did not know the details of Lockart’s admission, which is why they allowed him to continue his career as an author, albeit with extra help. thanks for this, Lockhart wrote who am i While at St Mungo’s.
Lockhart never got visitors, but he did get fan mail, mainly weekly letters from a woman named Gladys Gudgeon, but he had no idea why. Lockhart was largely forgotten in the wizarding world after arriving at St. Mungo’s, so it can be said that he has truly paid for all the damage he has done over the years.
