Gilderoy Lockhart
By J.K. Rowling
Originally published on Pottermore
...
"Sorted into Ravenclaw house, Lockhart was soon achieving good marks in his schoolwork, but there was always a kink in his nature that made him increasingly unsatisfied. If he was not first and best, he would rather not participate at all. Increasingly, he directed his talents towards short cuts and dodges. He valued learning not for its own sake, but for the attention it brought him. He craved prizes and awards. He lobbied the Headmaster to start a school newsletter, because he liked nothing better than to see his name and photograph in print.
Never very popular, he nevertheless achieved his primary goal of school-wide recognition through repeated, attention-getting exploits. He received a week’s worth of detentions for magically carving his signature in twenty-foot-long letters into the Quidditch pitch. He managed to create a massive, illuminated projection of his own face, which he would send skywards in imitation of the Dark Mark. He sent himself eight hundred Valentine’s cards one year, which caused such a pile-up of owls in the Great Hall that breakfast had to be abandoned (far too many feathers and droppings in the porridge)."
Reminds me of a guy who graduated from U Penn, created an alter ego (John Barron) to be his own spokesperson, and framed and hung a fake cover of himself on Time Magazine, in his club.
@houstonEuler That doesn’t sound like Ravenclaw to me, despite what Rowling says. She also put Pettigrew in Gryffindor so she’s not a perfect judge of such things imo.
^ @strutheo it would be interesting to create markets like this for Pettigrew, HJPEV, and other characters who aren’t obviously in the right house. (I’d make such markets myself except this was all originally your idea, and because I don’t have a lot of followers.)
@gregrosent you can also add them to here to help ppl find them /strutheo/which-persons-hogwarts-house-will-b
