Lockhart is SHOCKED, APPALLED

[acharmingsmile]

I just can't believe they'd film NEWT SCAMANDER's little booklet before any of my magnificent books! Why, Voyages with Vampires alone has more fantastical beasts than his entire work combined and- and more importantly, look at the man!

Hardly the sort of fellow who'd fill theaters, I'd say! Magical Me moved those who read it to tears, you know, not to mention the beautiful, enchanting photographs of yours truly.

Why aren't my fans rioting against this- this outrage? [ Have a rather... nervous if infinitely more charming than Newt Scamander's smile-smile. ]

I do have a great many fans left, don't I?

I'm actually looking forward to the film myself. As I enjoy Care of Magical Creatures. [He won't say that he hates Lockhart's books, as well as himself.]

How are you feeling, since your back-fired spell?

[acharmingsmile]

Oh, I feel just magnificent, thank you~! [ Have a big smile, Harry. ]

I'm sure it'll be a lovely enough movie but it'd be much better if it starred me, wouldn't you agree?

I look incredibly handsome from all angles and I'm just not sure the same can be said about this Newt chap.

[his_nemesis]

I don't know what to say on that one. [Well, he was going to say no, but didn't want to be rude. This time. Lockhart was a complete idiot in Harry's mind.]

Well, it might be set when Newt was younger. Say, your age perhaps? [A small smirk formed at the corner of Harry's mouth. He was winding Lockhart up mainly.]

[acharmingsmile]

[ You don't need brains when your hair is this shiny, dear Harry. Yours could use a comb or two. ]

If only I looked at all like the man... why, I could play his younger self in the movies with the greatest of ease! But I can't help these dashing, charming looks. [ Woe! ]

[his_nemesis]

[He likes his hair just as it is thanks. Anyway, his father's was just the same.]

What a shame. [More sarcasm.] I think the difference with the film is that the writer actually wrote his own books. Unlike you, of course. Your film would be about taking credit for what other wizards have done.

[ Gilderoy chuckles nervously, fidgetting with the front of his lilac dressing gown. ] Oh Harry! That is putting it quite harshly.

Your Professor Lockhart wrote of a great many of his own accomplishments as well. No one won that Most Charming Smile Award no less than five, or was it six?, times for me, you know~! That was all due to my own pearly whites.
