Speaking of Charlatans, Fugazys . . .

 And other poseurs and hacks.  Gilderoy Lockhart.  From Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.  It's the 20th anniversary of the first movie, and I am re watching them in order.  I would love to believe all self made literary heroes but real world humbugs end up as exposed for the frauds they are as befalls Lockhart.  But real live isn't scripted.  And there is no shortage of simple folk who can't tell a two dollar bill from a three dollar bill.
