Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has officially joined the cast of HBO's new Harry Potter series.
According to a report from Deadline, Harington will star as Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which is the second season of the upcoming series.
Harington is taking over the role shortly after it was announced that Nicholas Hoult would be playing Lockhart in the show's second season, which just started filming late this summer in the UK. It's reported that Hoult left the series over "scheduling issues."
This isn't Harington's first Harry Potter experience. While he's best known for playing the fan-favorite Game of Thrones character Jon Snow, Harington also voiced Gilderoy Lockhart in the audiobook, Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions.
