Kit Harington Joins Harry Potter Cast | Los Angeles News
Description
Kit Harington, known for Jon Snow, is stepping into the iconic role of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in HBO’s new Harry Potter series — a character he previously voiced in audiobooks. Originally slated for Nicholas Hoult, the role now lands with Harington, who brings his HBO fantasy pedigree to the part. Meanwhile, Gracie Cochrane, set to play Ginny Weasley, is exiting due to unforeseen circumstances, with her role recast for season two. The series premieres Christmas Day, featuring Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Alastair Stout as Ron, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, John Lithgow as Dumbledore, and Nick Frost as Hagrid — signaling HBO’s bold, star-studded reboot of the Wizarding World.
