Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets question

Did you read the "Gilderoy Lockhart" part? Yeah, it's boastful. And very Gilderoy. Just saying.

I don't think it was meant to be "wise" OR "unwise". It was just him saying, "Okay, guys! I'm gonna teach you something now. Are you all in a position where you can see/hear what's going on over here? Because, you're gonna have to pay attention if you want to learn anything."

Well, considering that Gilderoy was a narcissistic egomaniac, it seems completely normal that he would say these things.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question, though.

I don't think Gilderoy himself was very wise, so I wouldn't really expect very many of his words to be!

If it was Dumbledore saying that, then I'd be a bit concerned... but seeing as it's Lockhart, I think that it's normal he says things like that. He's a narcissistic git :)

Seems like something the average person giving a demonstration would say. Don' t remember the context of why he said this, but having such an ego, it could be just that.
Not sure - why would it might be unwise to say?

If I remember correctly, this was from the dueling club, right? He was teaching a large group of people in the Great Hall? So... why wouldn't he want to make sure everyone could see and hear him?

He was going to be demonstrating things that involve actions (so people need to see what he does) and spoken words (so people need to hear what he says). I don't understand the problem with what he said. Even though it's Lockhart, and he's a jerkface, I would expect anyone in his position to say something similar. :/

No....?
