Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets features a short post-credit scene that confirms Professor Lockhart's tragic fate.
The Big Picture In our current cinematic landscape dominated by franchise powerhouses like Star Wars, DC, and of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, post-credit scenes are a given. Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a film from a major franchise not culminating in a post-credit scene that teases some inevitable crossover, or drops an Easter Egg hinting at future plot points.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the longest Harry Potter movie, so not everyone knows of its post-credit scene — the movie is already so long, it is doubtful that people want to stick around for the entirety of the end credits. But if you are a Harry Potter music fan or a John Williams fan in general, or you just love to listen to the end credits scores, chances are you will know of this end-credit scene.
But during this post-credit scene, Lockhart is in Flourish and Blotts for an entirely different reason. Toward the end of the film, Lockhart reveals that he is a fraud. The only real talent he possesses is his ability to perform Memory Charms.
So, Lockhart loses his memory completely and even forgets who he is. And so, in the post-credit scene, Lockhart isn’t physically inside Flourish and Blotts, but he is in the front window within a moving photograph. He is dressed in a straitjacket with a vague and clueless expression on his face.
Later on in the Harry Potter series, we learn that Lockhart was admitted to St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, still without a clue of who he is. It is sort of a tragically ironic fate, and there’s no doubt that Lockhart’s Memory Charms were powerful, since he copped the wrath of his own magic and had to reap the consequences of it for the rest of his life.
