Creatures from Glideroy Lockhart’s publications
Vampires of Harry Potter were humanoid magical-beings associated with the dark magics. Vampires were infamous for their appetite on blood but they did diet on other food as well.
Some witches and wizards believed that the blood lollipops that were sold at Honeydukes were made for vampires. Vampires were allergic to garlic like the old superstitions of them and many vampires were associated with the muggle world.
Banshee were creatures of dark magic that were native to Ireland. Banshees would look like a woman and carried a fatal screech that could damage those who heard them. The screech of banshees was fatal as a scream of a fully grown mandrake.
Hags were magical-beings that took a female form of a witch but had only 4 toes, covered with warts on their face and had a distinctive hooked nose. Hags were known to have an appetite on human flesh, however there were many socialized hags that could live among wizards and witches.
Ghouls were magical creatures that were considered harmless in the wizarding world. Unlike ghouls that were believed to feed on flesh, were undead and attack people in the normal fantasy worlds, the ghouls of harry Potter weren’t as dangerous.

Ron Weasley’s first wand
Ron Weasley’s first wand was handed down from Charlie Weasley (Charles Weasley)/ Although the wands usually chose their wizard or witch, wands with a unicorn hair core relatively were much generous and less loyal compared to the dragon heartstring core, and the phoenix core.
Ron Weasley’s first wand was 12 inches long and made from ash tree with a unicorn hair. During the car crash to the Whomping Willow while Harry and Ron flew the Flying Ford Anglia, Ron’s wand was damaged.
Ron feared to tell his parents of this because he was already terrified by the first howler sent by his mother Molly Weasley.
Ron’s wand backfired when Ron tried to avenge Hermione on Draco Malfoy when Draco called Hermione a mudblood but the magic backfired on Ron.
Gilderoy Lockhart seized this broken wand from Ron and tried to erase the memories of Harry and Ron in attempt to conceal his secrets and his incapability of magic skills to rescue Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets.
However, Gilderoy Lockhart’s magic backfired as well and Gilderoy Lockhart completely lost his memories. Ron’s broken wand turned the tide of the story of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
