Thoughts of Potter's books. Part 4 Why don't other teachers like Lockhart? I guess other teachers don’t like Lockhart because he always was trying to poke his nose into their business. He was trying to give them advice which they didn’t need. He was boasting around all the time, telling everyone how great and smart he is. However, at the same time, he was making some stupid mistakes which only proved he was not as good as he was trying to convince everybody. Like removing bones from Harry’s arm or dropping his own wand at dueling club. Why is memory loosing a good punishment for him? His awful handling with other people rebounds on himself. At least in the future, he wouldn’t take credit for what other people would do. Why Harry and Ron brought Lockhart with them into Chamber of Secrets? That is the question! Definitely. Maybe it was some kind of impulse and they did it without thinking at all. He as helper was absolutely useless in Chamber. In fact, he brought more troubles. Boys were upset about Jinny’s disappearance and Lockhart was kind of in charge of rescuing her. So, they went to him instead of telling everything McGonagall. As for me, it was obvious other teacher had made fun of Lockhart. Though, boys were too shocked by the news, so they didn’t notice it.
