Ridiculous!
This is bloody brilliant! I honestly don't understand what Professor Dumbledore was thinking in bringing Lockhart back for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position. There's a bonafide war going on, and who've we got to teach us how to look after ourselves? A certifiable twit with an ego twice the size of Malfoy's! Do you know what he assigned for homework?! Our advanced NEWT-level class, and he's assigned us to do a four-foot scroll of parchment on the proper way of ridding a village of a mountain troll, using only his book for reference.
I sometimes wish I didn't care so much about my grade, because if I didn't, I'd hand this in:
"The most effective and proper way of ridding oneself of a full-grown mountain troll is to apply "Wingardium Leviosa" to its club and allow it to drop on the troll's head, thereby rendering it unconscious and permitting time to perform a simple binding spell."
I think it may be time to raise Dumbledore's Army from the dead, although I don't know if we'll get the same interest seeing as how we wouldn't have to be so secret about it. Harry, what do you think? I really can't take much more of this, he might be worse than Trelawney.
