Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Scene 11 Summary

  • On the first day of Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson, Gilderoy Lockhart introduces himself as their new teacher. So that's who this guy is.
  • He goes into all his fancy titles and starts to talk about his adventures before unveiling a cage of Cornish pixies.
  • The students aren't impressed so Lockhart releases them into the room.
  • The pixies might be tiny but they're good at making mischief. Most of the students manage to escape the room before Lockhart tries to perform a spell. The pixies snatch his wand instead.
  • He backs out of the classroom and tells Harry, Ron, and Hermione to get the rest of the pixies into their cages.
  • Hermione is the only one who actually does her homework so she casts a quick spell to immobilize all the pixies. Thank goodness for this girl.
