Trivia: The most recognisable piece of music in the Harry Potter soundtrack is officially known as 'Hedwig's Theme'. I know that death upset a LOT of people!” Fun fact: even though Hedwing's a 'she', all the owls to play her were male, because the males have whiter plumage. Voldemort killing her marked the end of childhood. She has been almost like a cuddly toy to Harry at times. JK Rowling said in a webchat with The Leaky Cauldron: “The loss of Hedwig represented a loss of innocence and security. Her home in Hogwarts’ 'owlery' acts as a refuge from the other students, and her death, in Deathly Hallows: Part 1, was a real loss to Harry. Thereafter, she appears in the books acting as a messenger and friend to Harry, even at times when all his other friends seem to have deserted him. Hedwig is a female snowy owl, given to Harry by Hagrid as a birthday gift on Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley.

One question though: why on Earth did the usually-wise, usually-insightful Dumbledore hire him in the first place? Apparently Lockhart was the only applicant – but that hardly seems like sufficient excuse. He provides, on our count, a good 75% of the humour in the film – not least because you can't help laughing as soon as you look at him. All preening arrogance, fancy threads and far-fetched claims, Lockhart is a comic wonder and a rotten little sneak at the same time, especially as wonderfully brought to life by Kenneth Branagh, vaulting neatly over the top and swishing his hair as he goes. It would explain, for instance, how this vain, empty-headed blowhard managed to get what is – presumably – a prestigious post. Big, dark, dangerous secrets preferred treachery an advantage”? Because that would explain a lot.
