Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Dobby the House Elf
Somebody comes into this book, who I really like! You guessed it (plus it was probably pretty obvious with the title and the picture), it's Dobby the House Elf! Some people have already forgotten (which, no offense, I think is a little lame) that Dobby belongs to the Malfoy family! As you probably know, when the owner of a house elf lets his elf free, the elf is usually really heart-broken and sad, but not Dobby! The reason he was so happy when Lucius Malfoy "gave" him Harry's sock was because the Malfoy family was so horrible to him! So, YAY DOBBY FOR FREEDOM!
Gilderoy Lockhart
When I read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I always laughed so hard whenever Lockhart opened his mouth! He was so hilarious because he was so full of himself! When J.K. Rowling came up with this self-obsessed character, she was basing him on a real-life person she knew! In an interview, J.K. Rowling said that the man she based Lockhart on is so full of himself, that he wouldn't even suspect that Lockhart was based on him! I laughed so hard when I first heard that!
