“Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. But I don't talk about that; I didn't get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him.”

Well, well, well ... hello there Professor!
This post today is in honor of the grand welcome of this extremely 'talented' DADA Professor. Join me as I welcome the most fanciest Gilderoy Lockhart to my Funko Pops collection! Now how awesome does the funko look, doesn't it? When I found Professor Lockhart's funko I just couldn't resist. Neither could Abbie who is a fan of the extremely gifted man. *laughs* It was a pop worth having in our collections.
Maybe, just maybe, it could just be something I think and feel ... but I notice that Professor Lockhart's funko pop has this air of arrogance about him. I mean, is it just me, or does everybody think his head is tilted upwards ever so slightly. Look at him, he's clearly boasting about his achievements when you look at this funko. Hahahaha! This is what I love the most about Funko pops, the attention to detail is so good that they even convey the character's personality. I mean, look at him. He's giving you the superior look for sure!!!
See what I mean? That's totally his one eyebrow raised kind of superior look!
One of the things I loved about Gilderoy Lockhart was his hair. His gold shiny hair with all that wavy fabulouslness. Even the hair had something arrogantly superior going on about them! Hahaha! And the funko pop got all his layers and waves and gold and shine right. Such fabulosity!
“Fame is a fickle friend, Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.”
As always they got his outfit right. His perfect elegant outfit with those pristine clean shoes and an air of expense around it all. Oh and I love how he stands with his hands on his hips - all haughty and proud and looking down at the rest of the human beings because they are so unworthy of his elegance and glamour. Such typical Lockhart.
Again, check out those layers! Now THAT is some fancy hair styling! I can imagine him shaking his head and flashing his toothy award winning smile and then uttering something that makes him look like an absolute fool. Hahahahahaha! Seriously, he's one of those characters I was so annoyed with in the books but I just couldn't stop laughing at when cast in the movie.
I love it!!! I'm so so so glad I added him to my collection.
I like to believe he eventually got his memory back, at least some of it, and got out of the hospital to lead a normal life. Hahahaha! I wonder if he'd go back to being silly if that actually happened. If he'd go back to being a cheat and an absolute liar ... I think he would. But anyhoo, I've welcomed him into my ever growing collection of funko pops and that means it is time to update my Harry Potter Funko Pops Wish List again!!! I'll be gone to do that now!
Don't let Lockhart get to your head until then ...
