Thank you, Goddlefrood, for all these interesting Lockhart-bites - I
enjoyed them!

Funny enough reading about Lockhart I was constantly reminded of a
real author - one of my favourites - with quite similar treats:

Bruce Chatwin :)

Admired by a lot of people, but hated by some because of his manner,
he wrote a lot of books about travels and his adventures (but some of
them were not his adventures but someone else's). A great sense for
fashion and very handsome with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes.

And I guess he would have loved memory charms:

(from wikipedia):
"However, he has also been strongly criticized for his fictionalized
anecdotes of real people, places, and events.  Frequently, the people
he wrote about recognized themselves and did not always appreciate
his distortions of their culture and behaviour.  Chatwin, however, was
philosophical about what he saw as an unavoidable dilemma, arguing
that his portrayals were not intended to be faithful representations;
as Nicholas Shakespeare, his biographer, argues: 'He tells not a half
truth, but a truth and a half.'"
