"I see you've all bought a complete set of my books. Well done. I thought we'd start today with a little quiz. Nothing to worry about. Just to check how well you've read them, how much you've taken in..."

Lockhart's Test

Defence Against the Dark Arts Second Year Essential Knowledge Test

The Defence Against the Dark Arts Second Year Essential Knowledge Test was a "little quiz" given by Professor Gilderoy Lockhart to his second year Defence Against the Dark Arts students to test their reading of his collected works.[1]

Contents

Ron: "Look at these questions. They're all about him."
Harry: "'What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favourite colour?'"
Ron: "'What is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?'"
Harry: "'When is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday and what would his ideal gift be?'"
Harry and Ron, aghast at the quiz[src]

Despite the test's title and class subject, it does not have any relation in testing practical defensive knowledge. Instead, the questions on the quiz were all about Gilderoy Lockhart's personal taste, habits, likes and alleged achievements, all of which were information found inside his seven books. They covered everything from his favourite colour to his ideal birthday gift. There were a total of fifty-four in all.[1]

Results

After the allotted thirty minutes, most of the students did poorly on the quiz, showing little knowledge of Lockhart's works, or perhaps simply little interest in them. Hermione Granger, however, earned perfect marks, knowing among other things that Lockhart's favourite colour was lilac and that his secret ambition was to rid the world of evil and market his own line of hair care potions. Her perfect score earned her ten house points for Gryffindor.[1]
