Lockhart is the character I love to hate.  He is so funny, but I 
cringe with sympathy for Harry whenever he tried to give Harry 
advise.  He was so delightfully wrapped up in himself, he would be 
impossible to deal with personally, but can you just imagine the fun 
students would have with him in a modern school?

As for the book, it was my least favorite only because I liked the 
other books more, not because I disliked CoS.  I'm still pondering 
OoP and getting ready to reread.  It may be that OoP is necessary, 
not so much for a stand-alone story, but because it advances the 
entire story arc.  If nothing else, Fred and George's fireworks and 
swamp were worth the price of admission.
