Bandon

Bandon is a small market town located in southern Ireland, roughly ten miles from the Celtic Sea, Bandon was presumably the home of the Bandon Banshee, which Gilderoy Lockhart claimed to have banished (CS6). This may have even been the inspiration for the title of his book, Break with a Banshee, which was on the Hogwarts book list for Harry’s second year (CS4). Of course, Lockhart later revealed that the banshee was actually banished not by him, but by a witch with a hairy chin (CS16, CS changes).
