Voyages with Vampires is a book written by Gilderoy Lockhart, one of his collected works. The book was a required textbook for Defence Against the Dark Arts classes during the 1992–1993 school year, one of seven along with Break with a Banshee, Gadding with Ghouls, Holidays with Hags, Travels with Trolls, Wanderings with Werewolves and Year with the Yeti.^[1]

Like most of his other books, it apparently concerned his supposed experiences with magical creatures, in this case vampires, though Lockhart later admitted that he was merely taking credit for the achievements of other wizards.^[2]

Hermione Granger was absorbed in this book, which she had propped open against a milk jug, on 2 September, 1992 the first day of classes in her second year at Hogwarts.^[3]
