Gilderoy LockhartGilderoy Lockhart is a wizarding celebrity, writing manybooks which tell of his encounters with beasts such as

ghouls, hags, vampires, werewolves and much more. He

has golden, wavy hair and straight, shiny teeth. He isself-obsessed and something of a buffoon. In the book,he is the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher but

appears rather unintelligent. His favourite colour is lilac,

proving so when he writes all his fan mail with lilac ink.

Tom RiddleLike Harry, Tom is a Parselmouth. He despised the

name Tom , thinking it was too common so changed it toVoldemort. He made up the name by rearranging TOM

VOLDEMORT. As Voldemort, he became an evilwizard, killing Harrys parents. When he tried to kill Harry,he accidentally passed on some of his powers to him. That

is how Harry became a Parselmouth.

Our ReviewHarry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets is a great book, just as good asthe first. Our favourite part was when Harry enters the Chamber. Wealso liked the part when Lockhart organizes a Duelling Club. Our leastfavourite scene was in Lockharts classroom, when he released pixies( itwas too unoriginal ). As you can see, we really enjoyed reading this book .
