Throughout the series, Harry constantly succeeds because he is aided by friends and allies: he is the sum of many parts. With his friends' help, the mystery is nearly solved as the puzzle pieces fall into place. Hermione, through her usual diligent research, gathering information, and patiently working to understand what it all means, has discovered what the monster is and how it navigates throughout the school. It is by sheer luck that she was still clutching the torn-out book page when she was petrified, allowing Ron and Harry to find it. Hagid also provided an important clue (through Aragog), while Moaning Myrtle gave valuable information when Ron's hunch that she was the victim who died 50 years ago is correct. Now we understand her perpetual sadness. It is still unknown who is the Heir of Slytherin, though the tunnel Harry is about to enter will likely lead him to the answer. Also, as one mystery is nearly solved another arises: Ginny. Unlike the Muggle-borns that were targeted, she is a pure-blood. Why then was she taken into the Chamber? Rather than becoming another petrified victim, she likely plays some other integral part in this evil plot, judging by her recent odd behavior and her earlier urgent attempt to tell Harry and Ron something important. Just what her role is also remains unknown, but it should be assumed that she is someone's innocent pawn. And while Percy's behavior may have seemed suspicious when he prevented Ginny from speaking to Harry and Ron, judging by his distraught behavior after she was taken, it was unlikely related to the monster or the Chamber of Secrets.
Lockhart is finally unmasked as
With this revelation, it is worthwhile examining the technique the Weasley children used for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Gnome|de-gnoming]] the garden [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 3|earlier]]. While we are never explicitly told that this technique came from Lockhart's book, the reference to ''Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Household Pests'' hints at that being the source. That the technique is, ultimately, ineffectual, would suggest Lockhart was the originator. Someone may have given him a bogus spell, but his magical ability being so weak, he would be unable to effectively test whether it was real or not, and he apparently assumes, or at least hopes, any such spell will actually work in a competent Wizard's hands.
This is a particularly telling comment about celebrity's nature and those seeking fame. Lockhart, who the author has stated [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=9 was modeled on a real person], is clearly willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to keep his own star bright. Harry, who [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] had [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets/Chapter 7|earlier said]]
As they approach the Chamber, Ron's broken wand finally does something well: when Lockhart grabs it and, unconcerned whether Ginny may still be alive, attempts to erase Harry and Ron's memories, it backfires and Obliviates him, as well as causing a small explosion. This backfire ends Lockhart's plan to claim he found the Chamber and destroyed the monster, at the cost of Ginny's life and Ron and Harry's sanity. With his memory erased, he has received the same as what he inflicted on other Wizards—a fitting punishment. Now, Harry must search for Ginny alone, without his friends' help.
