I know.  The house elves are very Jar-Jar Binks.  Sets
my teeth on edge.  But I didn't say I like Lockhart; I
think he's funny.  (Remember, I said laughing at, not
with.)  If I actually had to be in the room with him,
I'd probably think he was insufferable.

My kids really enjoy the house elves, though, and my
husband goes out of his way to give them silly voices
when he's reading aloud.  I just try to get past those
parts as quickly as possible when it's my turn to
read.  For reading aloud, my favorite character is
Hagrid.  I employ a broad Scottish accent which anyone
from Scotland would probably think was a joke.  But my
son says he definitely prefers my Hagrid to his dad's.
 (Not that this is a popularity contest.)
