Gilderoy Lockhart Birthday Facts and Notable Birthday Moments
Birthday quick facts
Birthday: January 26

Gilderoy Lockhart’s birthday is listed as January 26. Even without a famous on-page celebration, it feels like a fitting detail for someone who turned ordinary life into a performance and treated his own image as a full-time career.
This is the kind of birthday fans remember for the character rather than the plot. Lockhart’s real story is about vanity, stolen glory, and the enormous gap between who he claims to be and who he actually is.
A birthday page for Lockhart works best when it leans into that contrast. It gives us a playful way to look at the polished public persona beside the deeply embarrassing truth revealed in Chamber of Secrets.
