Indeed.  All those Lockhart books...

But now that I have my book out, it does also say:

	"Why do you want it?" said Harry.

	"The same reason everyone else wants it," said Hermione, "to
	read up on the legend of the Chamber of Secrets."

Granted, this *could* just be her opinion, but following what I just
said about Dumbledore, Hermoine rarely says things as fact unless she
has a reason to believe they're true, despite the fact that when *I* was
a smart-alecky kid, I certainly took advantage of the fact that other
kids would usually believe whatever I said if I said it with enough
confidence.  :)
