"I well remember the time when, during a particularly satisfying sojourn with some fans of mine in the wilds of Essex, I offered to clear a pathway in their quaint, suburban yard (I quail from terming this square of scrub and turf a 'garden'), which had been ubiquitously blocked by several Horklumps."
Gilderoy Lockhart, Marauding with Monsters[src]

Essex is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county in the East region of England. It is located to the northeast of Greater London and is one of the most populous counties in England.[1]

History[]

In Marauding with Monsters, Gilderoy Lockhart wrote of the sojourn he spent in his fans' house in the wilds of Essex. He claimed to have ridden his fans' yard of Horklumps.[2] The veracity of these claims were doubtful, as Lockhart was known to have stolen other wizard's achievements and to have filled his books with a wealth of invented detail.[4]

A British Muggle named Anji Oliver who filmed the Millennium Bridge disaster on her mobile phone and gave the footage to the authorities, lived in Ilford in Essex.[3]
