::chokes and dies:: It’s official. Hugh Grant is playing Gilderoy Lockhart in “Chamber of Secrets”. ::wrinkes nose:: Hugh Grant is nifty, but I just can’t imagine him playing our dear Gilderoy. ::sigh:: Why is it that whenever I try to type Hugh Grant’s name, I type Cary Grant instead? Bah.

Anyway, it’s now revival time! I first published this May 25th, and I thought it was incredibly amusing. A poem to Gilderoy Lockhart, by yours truly. Composed for Tanja’s Guestbook.

Gilderoy, oh Gilderoy.

You’re the man that I’d employ.

For the D.A.D.A. job.

Much better than that Lupin slob!

Gilderoy, dear Gilderoy

You always were a brilliant boy

You aced all quizzes and your tests,

You outshine (by far) all the rest.

‘Cause Gilderoy, yes, Gilderoy,

You know that magic’s not a toy

You fight the Dark Arts every day

For hardly any wage or pay.

And Gilderoy, dear Gilderoy,

You’re not egotistical at all or coy

You’re the pinnacle of modesty

Now about your fifteenth biography…
