Nicholas Hoult Cast as Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter Season 2!
Major casting news for HBO's upcoming 'Harry Potter' series! Nicholas Hoult has officially joined Season 2 as the notoriously vain and fame-obsessed Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart. The iconic role, previously brought to life by Kenneth Branagh in 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', will see Hoult stepping into the shoes of the charlatan wizard who built a career taking credit for other people's heroic deeds.
Fresh off playing Lex Luthor in the DC Universe, Hoult joins an all-star cast for the second season, which adapts J.K. Rowling's second novel and begins filming this fall. Fans are already eager to see the actor's comic charm and theatrical talent take center stage in the halls of Hogwarts! What do you think of this casting choice?
