The Wizarding World just got a major upgrade! Game of Thrones icon Kit Harington is officially trading his sword for a wand, stepping into the flamboyant robes of Gilderoy Lockhart for HBO’s Harry Potter Season 2. Replacing Nicholas Hoult due to scheduling conflicts, Harington brings his voice-acting experience to this vain, legendary role. Hogwarts is officially ready for some serious magic.
