The Bandon Banshee was a banshee that Gilderoy Lockhart supposedly defeated. He wrote a book called Break with a Banshee about the encounter prior to the summer of 1992. He was very proud of it and kept mentioning it.[1]
But Lockhart was a fraud and he later admitted to stealing the story from a witch who had a harelip. Lockhart thought she was too ugly and erased her mind of her success to cover it up.[2]
