Line 103:
* Many, ''many'' characters behave this way toward Gilderoy Lockhart in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]] and the Chamber of Secrets'', to the point where Harry—the actual hero of the series—gets forced to spend a detention helping the man answer his fan mail. Lockhart's general incompetence, though, implies that he doesn't deserve his fame; he eventually reveals that {{spoiler|he made a career out of finding people who did impressive things, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|wiping their memories]], and claiming he did those things himself. Right afterward, in a fit of irony, Lockhart [[Hoist by His Own Petard|blanks his own memory while trying to blank Ron and Harry's memories]]}}. Bizarrely, Ron and Harry never seem to mention his secret to anyone, so Lockhart's fame is mostly intact....
* In [[Honor Harrington]] the hero of the Royal Manticoran Navy is Saginami. The Grayson's hero is naturally the founder of their religion whose opinions affect them even in baseball rules(such as a deep prejudice against allowing designated hitters). Honor Harrington herself naturally admires numerous naval heroes.
* In ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'', we see Dante completely forgetting the fact that he's somehow ended up in Hell because ohmygosh, ''[[Virgil| it's Virgil!]]'' A few stanzas later, he has a similar reaction to seeing his other heroes, [[Homer]], [[Ovid]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace Horace], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucan| Lucan.] These writers readily accept Dante as one of their own - there is a reason many view the overall poem as a "biblical fanfiction" that is also a [[Self-Insert Fic]]. Later, in Purgatorio, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statius Statius] is also excited to meet Virgil.
