Archipelago Ridiculus was a chain of islands in or near the Maris Cristallus. This archipelago was supposedly explored by Gilderoy Lockhart and said "adventure" was covered in Travels with Trolls. Archipelago Ridiculus was included on the map featured on the cover of Travels with Trolls.[1] This expedition was, however a feat stolen by Lockhart from another wizard, whose memory of the event was erased by Lockhart.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- "Riddikulus" is the incantation for the Boggart-Banishing Spell, a charm used to defeat Boggarts. It was possible that the archipelago's name has a correlation with the discovery/development of said charm.
