A famous actor from a popular show is ready to enter a new magical world. Kit Harington, who became a star in the drama Game of Thrones, is joining the cast of the new Harry Potter television series. He will play Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous wizard who writes books about his brave adventures with dangerous creatures.
In the story, Lockhart is a very vain man who loves attention. He becomes a teacher at the magical school, Hogwarts, to teach students about defense against the dark arts. However, readers soon learn that he is not as brave as he says. Although he performs many tricks, his real skill is taking credit for things other people did.
Kit Harington is a big fan of the original books and movies. He already has some experience with this wonderful creation because he provided the voice for a special Harry Potter audiobook in the past. For him, getting a role in this series is a dream come true. He told reporters that he is excited to be part of such a famous story.
The producers of the show had to work hard to get Harington for the role. There were some scheduling issues at first because the actor was busy with other projects. However, they finally found a way to make it work. The new show will follow the stories from the books more closely than the movies did. Each book will have its own season, allowing the actors to spend more time on small details.
Fans are waiting for the premiere, which will likely happen in a few years. People are curious to see how Harington plays this funny and strange character. It will be very different from his serious role in Game of Thrones. The series promises to bring the magic back to our screens in a fresh and exciting way.
