interesting foreshadowing going on here for later in the book, when you consider ron's wand backfiring and harry hearing voices lockhart seems oblivious to.
Totally off-topic, but I just got back from the Harry Potter exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre! I took my ds10 with me, and we spent a good hour examining all the clothes and props from the movies. I want a bed like Harry's - gorgeous fabric. My son got sorted by a sorting hat that actually spoke (Gryffindor), and we got to pull mandrakes out of their pots while they screamed away. Hagrid's clothes are HUGE! Snape's boots were a little bit scuffed in the toes - obviously worn well. Madam Hooch had the nicest robes (a surprise) followed closely by Gilderoy, of course. The Great Hall room had LED candles hanging from the ceiling, and there were boxes of puking pastilles on the table. We left the gift shop with a couple of chocolate frogs (I got Snape and ds got Voldemort) and a marauder's map mug that's blank until you pour the hot liquid in, when the map appears. It was a class A display, and worth the extra fee to get into it.
Now...back to the chapter...this is the point where my son's friend freaked out and stopped reading it because she was so scared of the voices Harry heard.
Malfoy is such a snivelling, hateful little weiner.
