Kit Harington Joins Harry Potter Series | Boise News

Kit Harington, Jon Snow himself, is reportedly stepping into the wizarding world as Gilderoy Lockhart for HBO’s Harry Potter Season 2 — a role previously announced for Nicholas Hoult before he stepped away due to scheduling conflicts. With prior experience voicing Lockhart in the audiobooks and a resume that includes Emmy nods for Game of Thrones, Harington brings star power to the flamboyant, vain professor who famously starred in the movies with Kenneth Branagh. Season 1 drops Christmas Day, and production for Season 2 — covering “Chamber of Secrets” — kicks off this fall, making this casting shake-up a major behind-the-scenes twist just as filming resumes.
