From Westeros to Hogwarts: Kit Harington Joins Season 2 of “Harry Potter”

HBO’s high-profile “Harry Potter” television series has officially secured its next Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington is stepping into the flamboyant robes of Gilderoy Lockhart for Season 2. He replaces Nicholas Hoult, who exited the production due to scheduling conflicts.

Lockhart was portrayed on the big screen by Kenneth Branagh in the 2002 feature film adaptation. A Match Made in Wizarding History The casting marks a seamless transition for Harington. He voiced the very same pompous professor for Audible’s multi-cast Harry Potter audiobooks late last year.
