2.6 Gilderoy Lockhart
from Podtrificus Totalus
We're coming at you a few hours later than usual with a new episode of Podtrificus Totalus, a Harry Potter podcast done chapter by chapter, book by book. In chapter six of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Ron gets a Howler from Mrs. Weasley and must deal with his broken wand, Harry unwillingly gets a few lessons in fame from Gilderoy Lockhart, and Hermione cleans up the mess of their incompetent Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. We make a number of references to outside sources, which are listed below: Fantastically Wrong: The Murderous Plant That Grows From the Blood of Hanged Men on Wired Mandrake on the Harry Potter Lexicon Falstaff's reference to mandrakes in "Henry IV," Act I, Scene 2 and "Henry IV," Part II, Act III, Scene 2 The Earl of Suffolk's reference to mandrakes in "Henry VI," Part II, Act III, Scene 2 Juliet's reference to mandrakes in "Romeo and Juliet," Act IV, Scene 3 Justin Finch-Fletchley on the Harry Potter Lexicon Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter by Galadriel Waters (Ed.
