Kit Harington will now play Gilderoy Lockhart in Season 2 of HBO‘s “Harry Potter” series, replacing Nicholas Hoult, who exited the production due to scheduling conflicts.
Harington recently voiced Lockhart in Audible’s “Harry Potter” audiobooks, which released late last year.

He then becomes the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, but it quickly becomes clear he isn’t qualified for the job.
