But I thought Lockhart's victims could not be restored. Maybe it makes a difference who performs the charm.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maybe it makes a difference who performs the charm.
I think there are different ways to do it, but I suspect the key is that the person who did the charm would probably have to take it off and Lockhart had no motive to do so.
But when his spell backfired he was going for complete obliviation so it fried his brains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm a little annoyed at Hermione for not immediately devouring 'Beedle the Bard'. Cripes, witch, knowing you and knowing Dumbledore why do you think he left it to you?
edit- love those album covers esp Aladdin Sane & Boy.

Well, in the book she does read it incessantly. Also, Dumbledore's version is written in runes.

I forgot that she does read it right away in the book. But Dumbledore does mark the pertinent tale. I guess the Deathly Hallows is not as obvious as it seems in hindsight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know enough about classic albums to get all those, but why is Dobby on that Queen album instead of Neville?

Because Dobby has the bug eyes?
How cool is it that my HP obsessed roomie noticed on the lobby standees that Voldemort has The Elder Wand and Hermione has Bellatrix's.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Having seen DH1 but not yet read the book, I would say the movie makes very little sense without having read the book first. I'm not sure why so little happens in the first movie, and yet it feels like so much of the plot is glossed over. Like they decided to skip certain would-have-been-helpful scenes in order to linger a bit longer over certain moody moments.
Not that it's making me less desirous of seening DH2, just makes me want to gobble through the books quicker so I can finally understand what's going on.

I think the Pink Floyd cover is my favorite.
