What's There

The film includes a post-credit gag showing Gilderoy Lockhart after his backfired Memory Charm, with a book display built around his new condition.

Why It Matters

Chamber of Secrets is the only Harry Potter film with this kind of sneaky post-credit button, and it extends Lockhart's fraud-and-fame joke beyond the story's final scene. This placement serves as deliberate narrative texture and cinematic continuity, rewarding attentive viewers while documenting recurring visual motifs across the filmmakers' catalog.
